  • Vibrio alginolyticus, a marine fish and shellfish pathogen, has been found at a high frequency around the coastal areas of Korea. Vibrio alginolyticus was purified from various diseased fish, and a V. alginolyticus-specific bacteriophage was isolated from seawater obtained from fish farms located on the west coast of Korea. In a bacterial lysis experiment using the phage and antibiotics, tetracycline, $10^3$ cfu/ml of V. alginolyticus were completely lysed by both the phage and the antibiotic, suggesting that the purified phage in the study could be utilized as an alternative to antibiotics in the control of fish and shellfish diseases caused by V. alginolyticus.

  • In this study, the veridical efficacy of an aquatic disinfectant tablet composed to calcium hypochlorite against red sea bream iridovirus (RBIV). A veridical efficacy was determined with the viability of RBIV contacted with the disinfectant in viral stock cultured in fat head minnow cell line. An aquatic disinfectant tablet and RBIV were reacted on the distilled water (DW), hard water (HW) or organic matter suspension (OM) condition. On DW and HW condition, RBIV was inactivated with 25,000 fold dilutions of an aquatic disinfectant tablet. With the investigation of the antiviral effect of the disinfectant on OM condition, RBIV was inactivated on 22,000 fold dilutions of an aquatic disinfectant tablet. As an aquatic disinfectant tablet possesses veridical efficacy against RBIV, the disinfectant solution can be used to limit the spread of cultured marine fish viral disease.

  • This survey was performed to investigate the distribution of specialities which cultivated importantly in Jeollabukdo area in order to understand food culture of this area. Foods in speciality were divided into 4 groups, agricultural, aquatic, animal and the others products. Total number of 93 species of specialities, including 40 species of agricultural products, 29 species of aquatic products, 8 species of animal products and 16 species of the miscellaneous products, were identified from Jeollabukdo area. Especially, there were various fruits and vegetables among agricultural products and fishes among aquatic products in this region. Rice, pepper, pear, Mandarin fish, beef, pine mushroom, lentinus edodes and honey were determined as specialities in Jeollabukdo area. Various aquatic products were specialities in Gochang, Gunsan, Buan and Gimje region. Fruits, mushrooms, wild edible greens and animal products were specialities in Muju, Jangsu, Jeongeup and Jinan. Sweet fish, cat fish and freshwater crab were caught off in Sumjin river region only such as Namwon, Sunchang and Imsil, Recently, pumpkin(Cucurbita maxima) and paprika were determined as specialities in Jeollabukdo. In case of aquatic products, mushrooms and wild edible greens, their wild type products decreased, while cultivated type increased Commercialization by brand naming of agricultural and animal products were rapidly increasing. The kinds of specialities in Jeollabukdo area were changing by the influence of geographical, religious and social factors.

  • This study investigated pesticide residues in 367 agricultural products from local food markets in Ulsan. Pesticide residues in these samples were analyzed using multi class pesticide multi-residue methods on the Korean Food Code for 350 pesticides using GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS. Residual pesticides were detected in 79 (21.5%) samples and exceeded maximum residual limits (MRLs) in 4 (1.1%) samples (chwinamul, narrow-head ragwort, green onion, apricot). The range of the hazard index (%) was 0.0000-63.1043%, and values for the pesticides that violated the MRLs were 63.1043 (green onion), 0.5417 (chwinamul), 0.0684 (apricot), and 0.0100 (narrow-head ragwort). This risk assessment study showed that the values of hazard index (%) were less than 100%, indicating that the consumption of these local agricultural food products was not harmful for human health.

  • To develop a sustainable management model for oyster farming in Pukman Bay, Korea, we estimated the carrying capacity for oyster farming using food availability data. Optimal culture densities were calculated to be 124-133 individuals per unit flux area ($m^2$) and 310-330 individuals per string. The present annual production is approximately 1,038 tons/year, which is 87% of the estimated maximum yield of 1,193 tons/year. Therefore, considering annual fluctuations and a critical buffer to reduce ecological impacts, the current level is within optimal conditions. During periods of increased water temperature, energy demand was largely met by high primary production. The food supply significantly decreased as the harvest season approached, and 10 out of 21 oyster farms had a deficient food supply for at least 1 month. Therefore, these farms (39% of the farms within the bay) exceeded optimal densities.

  • Aquatic plants serve the crucial function of helping to balance water reservoir ecosystem, as they filter and remove major minerals required for algal growth such as nitrogen, ammonia, and nitrates. Aquatic plants provide food, shade, and protection for the aquatic biome in and around the reservoir. Thus, it is important to accurately determine the existence and areal extent of the aquatic plants. In the present study drone-based facilities were used for this purpose. In the Muncheon water reservoir, Gyeongbuk, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Surface Algal Bloom Index (SABI) were used to determine the existence status of the aquatic plants. The data so obtained exhibited reasonable accuracy; drone-based facilities can be used in future to identify the areal extent of aquatic plants.
