Infestations of parasites, particularly those caused by copepods and monogeneans, are a major hindrance to aquaculture and have a big negative economic impact. Sebastes schlegelii, a farmed Korean rockfish, is particularly prone to copepods and monogeneans. This study comprehended how parasitic copepods and rockfish from a farm in Tongyeong-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, Korea, are related to the monogenean trematode Microcotyle sebastis. Our research revealed that monogeneans predominated, with a rate of 98.4% and an average infection intensity of 7 per infected fish. With an average infection intensity of 4 per sick fish, the infection rate for parasitic copepods was equally considerable, coming in at 91.7%. The high co-infection rate of both parasite families, at 90.8%, is noteworthy. Furthermore, Lepeophtheirus elegans and Peniculus truncatus, 2 parasitic copepod species, were discovered to have M. sebastis eggs attached to their bodies. This demonstrates a connection between parasitic copepod infestations in farmed Korean rockfish and the monogenean trematode M. sebastis. These discoveries highlight the necessity for creating more potent parasite control methods for the aquaculture sector and shed light on the intricate relationships between various parasite species.

To investigate the food organisms of the Acentrogobius elongata during the juveniles stage, the stomach contents of fish, captured in the intertidal zone of Chungchongnam-do Sochon-gun Su-myon Dodun-ri between on early in June from the end of May 2000, were observed. Total length of the fingerings of A. elongata was 1.0~3.0cm size, and the participation rate of feeding was 68.6%. Main food organisms were such as copepods, shrimp larvae, polychaete larvae, and these occupied more than dry weight 4%. Copepods among them dominated the most quantitys by average 64.6%, and food organismsms appeared by order of polychaete larvae and shrimp larvae etc.. Therefore, most important food organisms of fingerlings stage of A. elongata were copepods, polychaete larvae, shrimp larvae etc.

To investigate the food organisms of the Tridentiger trigonocephalus during the juveniles stage, the stomach contents of fish, captured in the intertidal zone of Chungchongnam-do Sochon-gun Su-myon Dodun-ri between on early June from end if may 1999, were observed. Total length of the juveniles of T. trigonocephalus was 5.5mm∼9.0mm size, and the participation rate of feeding was 68.5%. Main food organisms were such as copepods, amphipods, shrimp larvae, polychaete larvae, and these occupied more than dry weight 2%. Copepods among them dominated the most quantitys by average 67.5%, and next, food organismsms appeared much by order of polychaete larvae and shrimp larvae etc.. Therefore, most important food organisms of juvenile stage of T. trigonocephalus were copepods, polychaete larvae, shrimp larvae etc.

The neustonic calanoid copepods Pontella securifer Brady, 1883 and P. sinica Chen and Zhang, 1965 are first recorded in Korea. These species occur in high temperatures over $23^{\circ}C$ and in a range of salinity from 26.6 to 31.2 psu. We provide full descriptions of the two species and discuss their zoogeography.

To investigate the food organisms of the Acanthogobius hasta during the juveniles stage, the stomach contents of fish, captured in the intertidal zone of Chungchong- nam-do Sochon-gun Su-myon Dodun-ri (Fig. 1) between on early June from end of May 2003, were observed. Total length of the juveniles of A. hasta was 5.5 mm ${\sim}$ 8.9 mm size, and the participation rate of feeding was 69.6%. Main food organisms were such as copepods, decapods, polychaete larvae, amphipods and these occupied more than dry weight 3.9%. Copepods among them dominated the most quantitys by average 62.7%, and next, food organisms appeared much by order of decapods, polychaete larvae and amphipods etc.. Therefore, most important food organisms of juvenile stage of A. hasta were copepods, decapods, polychaete larvae, amphipods etc.

Total length of the juveniles of C. mororanus was 5.0 mm ${\sim}$ 8.4 mm size, and the participation rate of feeding was 71.4%. Main food organisms were such as copepods, decapods, polychaete larvae, amphipods and these occupied more than dry weight 3.9%.

I investigated whether US naval pulp wastes (pulverized paper products), which is planned to be dumped into offshore waters, may affect the ecology of major components of marine zooplankton. The presence of slurry (0.6% concentration - wet weight ; wet weight) did not significantly affect the population growth rates of the heterotrophic dinoflagellate Polykrikos kofoidii fed on Lingulodinium polyedrum, but significantly reduced the ingestion rates of the calanoid copepods Acartia spp. on L. polyedrum and those of the copepod Calanus pacificus on Akashiwo sanguinea (previously Gymnodinium sanguineum). However, C. pacificus, originally exposed to 0.6% slurry for 24 hour, can recover its feeding rates when slurry disappears. Therefore, if slurry is diluted quickly due to trubulence after being dumped at 0.6% concentration, its presence may not affect Calanus. Chemicals leached from slurry did not affect the feeding rate of Calanus. Therefore, mechanical interference by slurry on the feeding and/or swimming of copepods may be mainly responsible for the reduction of the ingestion rates.

Microorganisms are contained filtered sea water that is why we often observed co-existing copepod species in the large-scale rotifer culture tanks. In this study, we investigated about taxonomical study of co-existing copepods in Brachionus rotifer mass culture tanks of several seafarming centers at Jeju-do and Pusan, Korea by microscope. Also, we counted number of copeods and density in 10 mL of cultured sea water and distinguished growing patterns and sex. As results, we can identified 4 species copepods, 2 species of Tisbe, 1 species of Tigriopus and 1 species of Apocyclops.

Pampus echinogaster was a carnivore and its major food items were crustaceans, hydromedusae, salps, Sagitta, and fish. Larvae and small juveniles preyed heavily on copepods. However, the portion of the diet attributable to copepods was decreased with increasing size, and this decrease was paralleled by an increased consumption of hydromedusae, salps, Sagitta, and fish.
