Slow movement of snail can be a benefit since it means less speed of tracking is required to get accurate movement track, but in the other side it is difficult to extract the object because the snail is almost as static as the background. In this paper, we present a technique to track the snail by using one of its common characteristic, dark color of its shell. The technique needs to be robust to illumination change since the experiment is usually to observe the movement of snail both at bright and dim condition. Snail position coordinate in 3D space is calculated using orthogonal stereo vision which combines the information from two images taken from cameras at the top and in front of the aquarium. Experimental results show this technique does not need prior background image extraction and robust to gradual or sudden illumination change.

for 50% of Rash water every week during experimental period. Eight of 100L of aquarium, eight kg of mudfish and four of female korean native chicken were used this study. This study are divided according to the mudfish fed on commercial mudfish diet in the four of control group and fed on raw hens excreta in the four treatment group. The chemical composition was compared with commercial mudfish diet and hens excreta. In the both sample, crude protein contents was almost same. The crude fat and crude ash were higher in hens excreta than commercial mudfish diet. The growth performance of mudfish tend to high when fed hens excreta. There were no differences in contents of E. Coli and Salmonella and pH of water in aquariums between the groups. Mortality of mudfish tend to decrease when fed hens excreta. No problem with mudfish health was observed during the experimental period of 35 days. These results indicated that it is possible to raising mudfish fed on hens excreta only.

The selective response of the sea bass, Lateolabrax japonieus and the gray rock cod, Sebastes inermis to the colored twines was studied in a white tiled aquarium C400LX60WX70H em), by use of Y -maze made of gray plastic plate. Anyone of the different colored twines, white, black, blue, yellow and red, was strung crosswise on a rectangular frame which was mounted to one of the two outlet ends of Y -maze, and another colored twine was used to the other end of the Y -maze. In each trial, a fish was guided toward the inlet of the Y -maze to let the fish select either one of the two different colored twines. The results obtained are aS follows: 1. Sea bass preferably selected the colored twines in a order of white, blue, yellow, black and red with significant difference. 2. Gray rock cod showed little difference in selecting colored twines even though the fish selected white one a little more frequently.

Nitrification efficiency of fixed film biofilters with sand, loess bead, and styrofoam bead in biofilter columns of 1-m height and 30 cm width was studied. Synthetic wastewater was continuously supplied to the culture tank to maintain total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) concentration in the inflow water at around 8 mg/L. The hydraulic loading rate was set at 200 ㎥/$m^2$/day. TAN conversion was stabilized after about 90 day conditioning for all the selected filter media but with net accumulations of nitrite. On the volumetric basis, conversion rates of TAN and nitrite were the highest in styrofoam bead filter. Mean volumetric TAN conversion rates in the final samples were 682, 269, and 79 g TAN/㎥/day in the styrofoam bead, sand and loess bead filters, respectively. Low gravity and cost of styrofoam bead render the handling easier and more cost-effective.

A blood parrot (Amphilophus citrinellus × Vieja melanurus) cichlid showing a flared left operculum was sent to the Fish Disease Clinic. The fish showed intermittently irregular ventilation and reddish soft swellings located at the ventral part of the left branchial cavity for one month. Other abnormal symptoms were not observed, and the appetite was normal. Only a putative diagnosis was conducted based on the history taking and external symptoms because the owner did not want an invasive biopsy or other potentially stressful examination of the fish. Therefore, considering the information available and the treatability, goiter (thyroid hyperplasia) was suspected as the top differential diagnosis, and the empirical treatment of administering iodide (0.03~0.015ppm) in environmental water was conducted. The treatment was discontinued for six months because the swelling was noticeably reduced. Body color became pale, but other abnormal signs were not observed.

Underwater sounds of some fishes and crabs were analyzed in the laboratory. The behavioral responses to the playback sounds of their feeding and croaking sound were investigated. The samples used in the experiment were as follows: Nibea albiflora, seriola quinqueradiata, Navodon modestus, Fugu xanthopterus, chrysophrys major, Scylla serrata, Telmessus acutidens, Charybdis japonica, and Portunus trituberculatus. The feeding and croaking sounds of the samples were recorded by a tape recorder through a hydrophone in an anechoic aquarium. The sound intensity level was measured by means of a sound level meter at an anechoic chamber. The frequency, intensity and wave form of various sounds were analyzed with an analyzing system consisting of a 1/3 octave filter set, a high speed level recorder, an amplifier, an octave band analyzer and an oscilloscope. The most successful recording was edited into a sequence of sound track which repeats sound emitting for 5 to 7 seconds after pausing for 5 to 7 seconds. The sequence was then reproduced into an anechoic aquarium through the under water speaker. The experimental anechoic aquarium used for the sample fishes was divided into the four sections with any three screens selected from 40$\times$40mm, 60$\times$60mm, 80$\times$80mm and 100$\times$100mm mushes according to the species of the fishes, besides that for crabs were not sectioned. The results of the investigation are as follows: 1. Of the feeding sound of fish, the frequency of wave from of the sound produced by Nibea albiflora and seriola quinqucradiata was 125～250Hz, that by Navodon modestus 63～125Hz, and that by Fugu xanthopterus 400～500Hz. The pressure level of the feeding sound produced by Nibea albiflora and Seriola quinqueradiata was 56～62db, that by Navodon modestus 57～59db, and that by Fugu xanthopterus 60～64db. 2. Of the croaking sound of Nibea albiflora, the frequency of the sound was 125～250Hz almost equivalent to that of feeding sound, and the pressure level was 62～63db, slightly higher than that of feeding sound. 3. Of the croaking sounds of crabs, the frequency of the sound produced by scylla serrata was 125～250Hz, that by Charybdis japonica and Telmessus acutidens 500～1,000Hz, and that by Portunus trituberculatus 250～500Hz. The pressure level of the croaking sound by Scylla serrata was 68～70db, and that by Charybdis japonica, Telmessus acutidens and Portuens trituberculatus 50～62db. 4. Phonotactic responses of Nibea albiflora and Seriola quinqueradiata to the feeding sounds produced by their own species, the same body length were conspicuous with the phonotactic index of 56～87%, but that of Navodon modestus, Chrysophrys major and Fugu xanthopterus were hardly recognized. 5. Phonotactic responses of the sample fishes to the sinusoidal sound with the frequency range of 50 to 9,000 Hz were observed not conspicuous. 6. Phonotactic responses of Portunus trituberculatus to the croaking sounds produced by their own species was varied in the range of 40～100%, according to the carapace length and the sex.

This study examined the inhibition effects of a freshwater bivalve (Unio douglasiae) and a submerged plant (Potamogeton crispus) on the cyanobacterial bloom (Oscillatoria sp.). The experiment were conducted in aquarium $(50cm{\times}65cm{\times}120cm)$ with lake sediments in the bottom of the aquarium in 10 cm thick. Before the experiments, artificial cyanobacterial bloom was induced with the addition of lake sediment and CB medium. Total 12 transparent acrylic cylinders (${\Phi}19cm$, height 40 cm) were placed in the aquarium, and within which bivalves and plants were placed in various conditions such as the control (C), plant addition (P:5 stems), mussel addition (U:2 individuals), and both mussel and plant addition (PU: the same quantity as used in each treatment). The experiment was conducted in triplicate during 7 days. pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), electric conductivity (EC), salinity, cyanobacterial cell density, chlorophyll-${\alpha}$ concentration, and mussel filtering rate were monitored daily. At the end of the experiment, total phosphorus (TP), total nitrogen (TN), and plant height and weight were measured. Overall, a large degree of cyanobacterial growth inhibition appeared in both P and U treatments, and the effect was highest in the U treatment, followed by P and PU. The combined treatment of both U and P did not show any synergic effects compared to the effect in separated treatment. In all enclosures of the treatments chlorophyll-${alpha}$ (Chl-${alpha}$) concentration decreased until 36 hours after the additions of the plants and mussels. In contrast, Chl-${alpha}$ concentrations increased in PU enclosures after 36 hours. The same trend was shown in the cell density of Oscillatoria. pH and DO gradually decreased until 120 and 144 hours, respectively, in the P and PU enclosures. TP concentration increased in the mussel enclosures (U and PU), while TN concentration largely decreased in the plant enclosures (P and PU). Our results suggest that applied bivalve (Unio) and submerged plant (Potamogeton) seemed to have a potential effect on the growth inhibition of cyanobacteria, but their combined application may have an antagonistic effect to diminish the degree of the inhibition.
