Seasonal variation in species composition around Dokdo, East Sea of Korea, was investigated using trammel-net catches, from 2006 to 2009. A total of 53 fish species belonging to 23 families in 12 orders were captured; the orders Perciformes (12 families, 22 species) and Scorpaeniformes (four families, 22 species) were dominant. Between 2008 and 2009, 43 species were collected by trammel net. The number of species was highest in August 2009 (25 species) and lowest in February 2009 (11 species). The number of individuals and total biomass peaked in November 2009. Diversity indices for fish catches were highest in August 2008 (2.4368) and lowest in November 2009 (0.4253). The dominant species were Thamnaconus modestus and Sebastes schlegeli. Hierarchical clustering analysis showed five fish groups, with frequency and number of individuals similar to results of correspondence analysis (CA), which showed a closer relationship to the year term than the season term. CA showed that temperature was an important factor influencing fish species richness and abundance. Three main fish assemblage types coexisted around Dokdo: an East Sea coastal fish assemblage, a subtropical fish assemblage, and a cold water fish assemblage.

This study sought to assess the stock status and analyze the management effects with regard to the Black scraper, which is one of the more commercially important species in Korea. The catch amounts of Black scraper have significantly decreased since 1991. In this analysis, a Bayesian state-space model was utilized to assess the biomass of the Black scraper given the limited data. Model results showed that MSY and B_MSY of Black scraper were estimated to be 26,587 tons and 365,200 tons, respectively. In addition, the current biomass level of the Black scraper was assessed to be only 2.1% (7,549 tons) of B_MSY. For this reason, the effects of a moratorium policy on the Black scraper were evaluated. The results showed that if such a moratorium policy was implemented, it would take at least 18-40 years to restore the biomass level of the Black scraper to B_MSY depending upon its growth rates.

말쥐치, Thamnaconus modestus는 우리 연근해에서 1970년대 말부터 1980년대에 걸쳐 대표적인 어획종이였으나 지속적인 남획으로 인해 현재 자원이 급격히 감소한 상황이다. 2000년대에 들어오면서 인공종묘생산이 성공하게 되고 현재에는 새로운 양식 대상어종으로서 그 가능성을 타진하고 있다. 이 연구에서는 성체에 진입하는 단계에 있는 말쥐치(전장 $22.6{\pm}0.8$ cm, 총습중 $140.3{\pm}13.9$ g)의 수온($12{\sim}28^{\circ}C$)에 대한 표준대사율을 측정하여 이들 종이 가지는 수온 특성을 파악하고자 하였으며, 각 측정치로부터 그 관련 식을 얻었다. 표준대사율은 수온 $23{\sim}26^{\circ}C$ 부근에서는 수온 상승에 대해 증가 경향이 나타나지 않았으나, $12{\sim}28^{\circ}C$의 수온 범위 전반에서 단위 체중 당 산소소 비율(SOCR, $m/O_2/gWW/h$)의 경우, SOCR = 0.0117WT-0.0135 ($r^2$ = 0.9351), 개체 당 산소소비율(IOCR, $m/O_2/fish/h$)의 경우는, IOCR = 1.8160WT-5.4007 ($r^2$= 0.9428)로 수온 상승에 따라 직선함수로 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 그리고 단위 체중 당 산소소비율을 통해 수온민감도($Q_{10}$)를 계산하여 비교한 결과, 수온이 높을수록 낮아지는 경향을 보였는데 외온성 동물의 일반적인 $Q_{10}$ 값인 2~3보다 $12{\sim}15^{\circ}C$에서는 $Q_{10}$ 값이 6.27로 매우 높았고 $23{\sim}28^{\circ}C$에서 $Q_{10}$ 값은 1.30으로 다소 낮아서 난류성 어종의 수온 특성을 보였으며, 이로부터 성체에 진입하는 말쥐치에 있어서 $15{\sim}28^{\circ}C$는 그 적수온대에 속하는 것으로 판단된다.

수온은 양식어류의 생존에 영향을 미치는 가장 주요한 환경 요인이며, 겨울철 급작스런 수온 하강은 양식어류의 질병과 집단폐사 발생의 요인이 되기도 한다. 본 연구는 겨울철 수온 하강으로 인해 빈번하게 폐사가 발생하고 있는 말쥐치의 양식관리를 위한 기초자료로 활용하기 위해 말쥐치의 하한수온내 성범위, 산소소비율, 혈액학적 및 조직학적 반응을 조사하였다. 수온 5℃에서 노출 3일째, 수온 6℃에서는 노출 4일째 모두 폐사하여 말쥐치의 저수온에 대한 반수치사 하한수온은(LT₅₀) 6.97℃ (6.69~7.27℃)였다. 산소소비율은 수온 하강에 따라 감소하여 수온 간 유의한 차이(p<0.05)를 나타내었다. 혈액내 활성산소 소거효소인 SOD활성도는 대조구 10℃에 비해 수온 6℃에서 유의하게 상승하였다(p<0.05). 반면 CAT는 실험수온 간에 유의한 변화를 나타내지 않았다(p>0.05), 삼투질농도는 대조구와 실험수온 간 유의한 차이는 나타나지 않았다(p>0.05). 코티졸은 대조구에 비해 수온 하강에 따라 증가하였으며 수온 간 유의한 차이를 나타내었다(p<0.05). 간의 조직학적 변화는 혈관내 혈구의 감소, 간세포의 공포화와 간세포 핵의 응축, 췌장 외분비 선세포의 위축 및 효소원과립들이 감소하였다.

Feeding habits of dolphinfish Coryphaena hippurus, were analyzed. Fish samples were collected by using a purse seine, fishing and set net in the southern sea of Korea from January to December 2015. The size of C. hippurus ranged from 23.8 to 127.4 cm in fork length. The species with the highest percent index of relative importance (%IRI; the most important prey taxa) in the diets of C. hippurus were teleosts and cephalopod, including Engraulis japonicus, Thamnaconus modestus and Trachurus japonicus, Loligo edulis was the most frequently consumed cephalopods. Coryphaena hippurus also ate small amounts of amphipods and carid shrimp. The dietary compositions of C. hippurus was not significantly different among size classes or seasons (ANOSIM, P>0.05). As body size of C. hippurus increased the mean number of prey per stomach (mN/ST) tended to decrease, but the opposite trend was evident for mean weight of prey per stomach (mW/ST). The mN/ST and mW/ST also significantly varied with season (one-way ANOVA, P<0.05).

The single anatomical attribute that has the greatest influence on acoustic scattering from fish is the presence or absence of a swimbladder. This study examined the effect of removing the gas from the swimbladder on the broadband backscattering characteristics of six species of swimbladdered fish: striped beakperch Oplegnathus fasciatus, black scraper Thamnaconus modestus, dark-banded rockfish Sebastes inermis, goldeye rockfish Sebastes thompsoni, black rockfish Sebastes schlegeli and panther puffer Takifugu pardalis. Before and after removing the gas from the swimbladder, the species-specific, frequency-dependent backscattered echo signals from anaesthetized individuals of each fish species were measured at approximately 1° intervals spanning a 90° aspect angle range from -45° (head down) to +45° (head up) using a broadband echo sounder operating at 100-200 kHz. The relationship between the wavelength-normalized backscattering cross section (σ/λ²) and fish length (L/λ) was calculated for each species. The average σ/λ² value for the six fish species at a L/λ range of 19.79-25.85, with a mean of 22.89, was reduced by approximately 52.3% when the gas was removed.

Controlled broadband acoustic scattering laboratory experiments were conducted using a linear chirp signal (95-220 kHz), and x-ray images of live and model fish with an artificial swim bladder were analyzed to investigate the changes in orientation and frequency dependence of target strength (TS) due to morphological differences in fish swim bladders. The broadband echoes from live and model fish were measured over an orientation angle range of ${\pm}45^{\circ}$ in the dorsal plane and in approximately $1^{\circ}$ increments. The location of nulls in the simulated echo response of the SINC [sinc function] model was overlaid on the TS map, showing the orientation and frequency dependence of fish TS, and they matched very well. It was possible to infer the equivalent fish scattering size (or swim bladder) using the null spacing in the experimentally obtained broadband TS map. Good agreement was observed for inferring the equivalent scattering size between the SINC model and the broadband echoes measured for the three fish species (black scraper Thamnaconus modestus; goldeye rockfish Sebastes thompsoni; and whitesaddled reef fish Chromis notatus). Some results of this inference are discussed.

The major cultured marine fishes in sea off the coast Gyeongsangnam-do Province, South Korea, were assessed and included 9.3% rockfish Sebastes schlegelii, 7.8% red seabream Pagrus major, and 2.1% rock bream Oplegnathus fasciatus. The number of insurance payments related to disease mortality in cultured fish in 2017 was fourfold that in 2016. Economic loss in aquaculture due to disease in cultured fish is high and represents an important inhibitory factor affecting marine fishery productivity. In 2018, diseases led to severe production losses in several aquaculture species: 40.0% in rockfish, 11.4% in olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus, 10.0% in filefish Thamnaconus modestus, and 9.3% in red seabream. Fish-parasitic pathogens such as Microcotyle sebastis, Alella spp., and Dactylogyrus spp. enter mainly via the gills and skin surface. Among bacterial pathogens, Vibrio species were most common, with Vibrio harveyi being the dominant species causing infections in these fishes. The bacterium Lactococcus garvieae is thought to exhibit host specificity in fish. The fish species in the present study exhibited a higher tendency for infection by heterologous pathogens than by a single pathogen; therefore, it is necessary to devise new strategies for treating diseases in cultured fish.
