This study was conducted to evaluate the purification efficiency in rearing water of the land based fish farm by screen filter and ultra violet (UV) irradiation. Purification efficiency for rearing seawater has been examined with screen filter of 60 $\mu$m pore size and UV irradiation at dose of 0.5 $mWS/cm^2$ for 5 months. Purification efficiency by changing of temperature, salinity, pH, DO, total bacteria and Vibrio species in rearing seawater by filtering and UV irradiation were not significant during 5 months, However, the removing rate of suspended solid and turbidity of rearing seawater were $43.8\~45.6\%$ (average, $44,7\%$) and $29.2\~33.2\%$ (average, $31,3\%$) by filtering, respectively. Also, Purification efficiency for the $NO_3^{-}-N,\;NO_2^{-}-N,\;NH_4^{+}-N$ and $PO_4^{3-}-P$ were $21.3\~21.9\%$ (average, $21.6\%$), $24.1\~25.2\%$ (average, $24.7\%$), $17.6\~17.8\%$ (average, $17.7\%$) and $19.0\~20.4\%$ (average, $19.7\%$) respectively by the system used on this study.

We investigated physicochemical properties and isotopic compositions of organic matter (δ¹³C_TOC and δ ¹⁵N_TN) in the old fish farming (OFF) site after the cessation of aquaculture farming. Based on this approach, our objective is to determine the organic matter origin and their relative contributions preserved at sediments of fish farming. Temporal and spatial distribution of particulate and sinking organic matter(OFF sites: 2.0 to 3.3 mg L^-1 for particulate matter concentration, 18.8 to 246.6 g m^-2 day^-1 for sinking organic matter rate, control sites: 2.0 to 3.5 mg L^-1 for particulate matter concentration, 25.5 to 129.4 g m^-2 day^-1 for sinking organic matter rate) between both sites showed significant difference along seasonal precipitations. In contrast to variations of δ¹³C_TOC and δ¹⁵N_TN values at water columns, these isotopic compositions (OFF sites: -21.5‰ to -20.4‰ for δ¹³ C_TOC, 6.0‰ to 7.6‰ for δ¹⁵N_TN, control sites: -21.6‰ to -21.0‰ for δ¹³C_TOC, 6.6‰ to 8.0‰ for δ¹⁵N_TN) investigated at sediments have distinctive isotopic patterns(p<0.05) for seawater-derived nitrogen sources, indicating the increased input of aquaculture-derived sources (e.g., fish fecal). With respect to past fish farming activities, representative sources(e.g., fish fecal and algae) between both sites showed significant difference (p<0.05), confirming predominant contribution (55.9±4.6%) of fish fecal within OFF sites. Thus, our results may determine specific controlling factor for sustainable use of fish farming sites by estimating the discriminative contributions of organic matter between both sites.

Olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus is one of the most important cultured fish in Korea, its farming has been negatively impacted by viral, bacterial and parasitic diseases. Streptococcal infection was considered as a serious problem because of significant economic losses in olive flounder farm industry. The development and evaluation of vaccine for protection against infection by this agent were required. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of ${\beta}$-hemolytic Streptococcus (S.) iniae vaccine on olive flounder Three hundreds of flounders (weight $119.8{\pm}20.7g$, body length $22.6{\pm}1.4cm$) were reared in 0.5 tons aquaria in land-marine tank system. Seawater was provided from the sea of Inchon in Korea, and water temperature was set to $22^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$ in the vaccination and challenge test, respectively. We used the formalin-inactivated ${\beta}$-hemolytic S. iniae (F2K) vaccine (M VAC INIAE; Kyoritsu seiyaku, Japan) originated in Japan. The vaccine was intraperitoneally administered to fish. Both of vaccinated group and control group were challenged with intraperitoneally injection by virulent S. iniae SI-36 isolates with $1.0{\times}10^7CFU/fish$ at 3 weeks after vaccination. Difference on mortality of control and vaccinated group (90.0 and 15.0%, 76.5 and 8.0% respectively) at two trials were found significant (p<0.05), and relative percent survival were 83.4% and 89.5%, respectively. The dead fishes were showed dark pigmentation of skin, abdominal extension, hemorrhagic ascites, and liver necrosis, and isolated the S. iniae strain from ascites, liver and kidney. We confirmed the safety and efficacy of ${\beta}$-hemolytic S. iniae vaccine by determinations of the optimal management condition and artificial challenge test in olive flounder.

The clay and yellow loess have capability to adsorb and precipitate particles. The removal efficiencyes of those flocculents on the dinoflagellate, Cochlodinium polykrikoides, have been studied in laboratory and in field near Tongyong fish farm in September, 1996. The removal efficiencyes in the laboratory experiment was $43\%$ for $2\;g/{\ell}$, $64\%$ for $6g/{\ell}$ and $88\%$ for $10\;g/{\ell}$ in one hour after dispersion. No big difference of removal efficiency was found between the raw and the acid-activated loess. In the field survey, the removal rates ranged from 72 to $80\%$ in 30 min after the dispersion. The effect of loess scattering on water quality was estimated. The concentrations of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), chemical of gen demand (COD) and chlorophyll a decreased more or less after dispersion, while the concentration of suspended solid (SS) increased. The concentrations of dissolved oxygen (DO) and dissolved inorganic phosphorous (DIP) were kept constant. These results indicated that the dispersion concentration of more than $10g/{\ell}$ has a good removal efficiency of above $80\%$ without big variation of water quality after dispersion of yellow loess.

We conducted a 90-day feeding experiment to evaluate the growth and energy budget of the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus. Sea cucumbers with a mean initial wet body weight of 3.03±0.06 g were fed one of the following three diets: an eel fecal solid diet, rainbow trout fecal solid diet, or a commercial diet at a water temperature of 17±1℃ and salinity of 32±1 psu. The results suggested that the diets affected the final body weight, specific growth rate (SGR), food ingestion, feces production ratio, and hence the growth and energy budget of the sea cucumbers. Sea cucumbers fed the eel and rainbow trout fecal solid diets showed poorer energy absorption, assimilation, and growth than those fed the commercial diet. The sea cucumbers fed the commercial diet had a significantly higher SGR and proportion of energy used for growth than those fed the other two diets. Sea cucumbers fed the rainbow trout fecal solid diet showed a comparatively higher ingestion rate and feces production ratio than those fed the commercial diet. The eel and rainbow trout fecal solid diets, therefore, were not suitable for sea cucumbers in intensive cultivation. Our findings will facilitate further development of more appropriate diets for culture of sea cucumber.

Pathogens on the cultured 579 rockfish, Sebastes schlegeli in the marine cage farms from Geoje and Tongyeong of the Southern sea were investigated from 2006 to 2008. The pathogens were detected throughout the year at 46.0~90.0% for 3 years and the detection rate was low with an average 58.1% in May and high with an average 81.5% in October. Bacteria only, bacteria-parasite mix and virus only were found in October and November as well as parasite only, whereas infection of parasite only was dominant in May when the temperature increased and in August when the temperature peaked. Of rockfish, Microcotyle sp. and Caligus sp. were dominant for parasitic disease, and Vibrio sp. and Streptococcus sp. were dominant bacteria. For virus, RSIV and VNNV were detected as dominant organisms. While no virus was detected in 2006, VNNV, VHSV and RSIV were detected in 2007 due to $1.5\sim2.0^{\circ}C$ higher temperature than 2006 in the summer season. For total prevalence by rockfish sizes, the highest was found at 50.0~87.1% in 11~15cm sizes and 50% was found in 30 cm size. Parasite showed a similar trend of 50.0~79.6% as the total prevalence. Prevalence for bacteria varied from 1.6% (for 10 cm group) to 23.8% (for 26 cm group) and higher virus prevalence of 21.5% was found from below 25 cm group.

Seventy-five streptococci were isolated from diseased olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus in Jeju. Their drug susceptibility and transferable multiple drug resistance were characterized. All isolates were resistant to flumequine (AR) and oxolinic acid (OA) and 26 isolates (34.7%) showed 4～6 multiple resistance of ampicillin (ABPC), AR, doxycycline (DOXY), erythromycin (EM), norfloxacin(NOR), OA and oxytetracycline (OTC) in various combinations. pST9 of a transferable R plasmid was detected from a multiple drug resistance strain, Streptococcus sp., ST9 originated from diseased flounder in Jeju, previously. We performed DNA hybridization to know the distribution of plasmid with the same DNA structure as pST9 in streptococci. Thirteen out of 60 isolates analyzed were positive in colony DNA hybridization and the part of bacteria isolated from raw meal was also hybridized with pST9. It suggested that raw meal is one of the origin of the resistance plasmid and R plasmid with DNA structure differing from pST9 is also involving in multiple drug resistance of the streptococci. In conjugation experiment, we found transferable R plasmid carrying OTC, DOXY and/or EM resistance determinant in the 13 resistance strains. all of the streptococci carrying the transferable R plasmid were similar in RAPD patterns. However, pST -type R plasmid was rare in S. iniae most frequently appearing in flounder farm.
