Physicochemical characteristics of pigment separated from cockle shell were studied. Pigment on the cockle shell was peeled with distilled water, and soaked in 4% TCA solution for 30 minutes and filtered. Filtrate was washed 3 times with distilled water and Iyophilized. Dried pigment was dissolved with 2N NaOH solution and preparative TLC with 2N NaOH : acetone(1 : 1). UV/vis spectrum of pigment separated from cockle shell and melanin as standard was same one peak at UV area and λ$_{max}$was 226nm. Dissolved property of pigment was same as that of melanin. Pigment was not ommochrome but like melanin, because it was insoluble in formic acid, whitening in $H_2O_2, $ and pattern of UV-spectrum was same as melanin. Pigment separated from cockle shell was stable at high temperatures. In thermal treatment at $70^{\circ}C, $ $80^{\circ}C, $ $90^{\circ}C$ and $100^{\circ}C$ for 8 hours, retention ratio of pigment separated from cockle shell were 95.0%, 93.3%, 90.8% and 87.6%, respectively.

We investigated appearance tidal time and line of spats blood cockle, Tegillarca granosa. And we observed appearance individual numbers and shell growth of spats blood cockle, T. granosa on the several tidal lines and time for the highly valued aquaculture business. Most of the blood cockle spats distributed on the $2{\sim}3 $ hours tidal line. The shell growth was high on the $1{\sim}3$ hours tidal line. But we found small amount of spats on the $5{\sim}6$ hours tidal line. The shell length of spats became $4.7{\pm}1.0 mm$ in December, $5.2{\pm}1.2 mm$ in January, $5.4{\pm}0.9 mm$ in May, $8.5{\pm}0.8mm$ in June, $12.6{\pm}1.1 mm$ in July, $16.0{\pm}2.1 mm$ in August, $18.6{\pm}1.4 mm$ in September and $20.3{\pm}1.3 mm$ in October. As well, we could reconfirm of newly appearance blood cockle spats in the next October.

Approximately 240,000 tons of waste shells are produced annually in the south and west coast of South Korea. Some of these waste shells (oyster, cockle) are recycled as seeding collector and fertilizer, but most are dumped illegally near the coast. One of the alternative solutions that can economically utilize a large amount of these waste shells is to apply them to the production of construction materials. In this research, the basic physical properties of waste shells such as oyster, cockle, clam, manila clam were investigated, and were used to prepare cement mortar with a 25% replacement ratio of sand. According to the results, the 28 day compressive strength of cement mortar with cockle and manila clam shells was similar to that of plain cement mortar. The compressive strength decreased by about 18% when clam was used. However, the cement mortar with oyster shell showed about a 35% reduction in 28-day compressive strength, and two times the absorption capacity of plain cement mortar. The reduction in compressive strength and the increase in absorption capacity were mostly associated with the porous nature of the oyster shell.

This paper describes relative age and growth pattern of the blood cockle, Tegillarca granosa (Linnaeus) in Yeoja Bay, southern coast of Korea. The young shell of blood cockle that spawned from July to August reached 5.60 mm $({\pm}\;1.07)$ in shell height in October. Slow growing season was estimated to be from October to the next May with water temperature under $23^{\circ}C$. With warm water temperature in July to September, the growth was fast. The young shells reached 29 percentage of asymptotic shell height 11-15 months after spawning. Growth was estimated by von Bertalanffy growth function as follows. $I_t(sh_t)=46.1317\;(1-e^{-0.4997(t-0.5828)})$.

Feeding habits of juvenile Sillago maculata, collected from the tropical seagrass beds in Cockle Bay, Queensland, were studied. S. maculata (0.5~9.5 cm SL) was a carnivore which consumed mainly gammarid amphipods, crabs and copepods. Its diets included small quantities of polychaetes, shrimps, fishes, isopods and cumacean. S. maculata showed ontogenetic changes in feeding habits. Small individuals preyed mainly on copepods, crab larvae and gammarid amphipods. While the portion of the stomach contents attributable to polychaetes, crabs and fishes increased with increasing fish size, consumption of copepods and crab larvae decreased progressively. Gammarid amphipods were the most selected prey item for all size classes.

A liquefied seasoning material was manufactured by using the enzymatic hydrolysis for the benefit of highly effective utilization of cockle shell by-product, and their quality was investigated. The weight ratio of by-product to whole cockle shell was 32.7%, and the contents of moisture and crude protein in the raw cockle shell by-product were 83.1% and 10.7%, respectively. The optimal concentrations of protease such as Protease N. P.(Pacific Chemical Co.) and Alcalase(Noo co), used in order to reduced the hydrolysis period, were effective at 4%(w/w), and optimal hydrolyzing time was 8 hours and after 8 hours were little changed. To improve flavor of the liquefied seasoning material, by Maillard reaction used thermal treatment, addition of glucose was very effective. And addition in hydrolysate with 10% glucose, 9% table salt, 2% starch and 0.5% caramel were suitable for promotion of taste. Total nitrogen and amino type nitrogen in the product were 1,607mg% and 1,264mg%, respectively. And the ratio of amino type nitrogen to the total nitrogen was 78.6%. The major free amino acid were glutamic acid, lysine, leucine, valine and aspartic acid, and content of glutamic acid was 1,027.5mg%.

Processing conditions for dried condiments with oyster, pen shell and cockle shell were investigated. The enzymatic hydrolysis for 3 hours was more profitable than hydrothermal extraction to develop flavoring matters from oyster, pen shell and cockle shell. As a result of omission tests, nucleotides were predominated in the taste compounds of shellfish hydrolysates rather than free amino acids, and the contribution of nucleotides and free amino acids to the taste of shellfish hydrolysates was remarkable. The major flavoring components of shellfish hydrolysates were free amino acids and oligopeptides below 500 dalton. When shellfish hydrolysates were separated with membrane (molecular weight cutoff 500 dalton) for recovering flayer, recovering yields of amino type nitrogen were $92.1\~92.8\%$. Moisture contents of dried shellfish condiments prepared with pretense hydrolyzed oyster, pen shell and cockle shell were $3.5\%,\;3.8\%$ and $3.7\%$, respectively. Contents of total nitrogen were $69.4\%,\;78.8\%$ and $74.2\%$, and those of amino nitrogen were $45.5\%,\;48.9\%$ and $45.4\%$, respectively. Drying yield, solubility and absorption rates at Aw 0.88 were $11.7\%,\;78.4\%$ and $6.8\%$ in oyster, $8.2\%,\;73.6\%$ and $6.1\%$ in pen shell, $9.8\%,\;76.9\%$ and $6.6\%$ in cockle shell, respectively.

Recently, many environmental problems occur due to the waste shells in South Korea. In case of oyster and cockle, utilizing waste shells to produce fertilizer once also, but due to sluggish consumption, production is no longer difficult. The stored amount of waste shells in the fertilizer manufacturing company is overfilled, and thus cannot accept any more of the waste shells. As a result, landfill and dumping of waste shells have become an increasingly environmental problems. In this research, the basic physical properties and interfacial bonding form of the mortar mixed with waste shells (manila clam, cockle, clam, sea mussel, oyster) were evaluated.
