The biopolymer membrane could be formed using marine polysaccharides. Chiotsan and alginate were used for the formation of capsule membrane to mimic the fish eggs such as flying fish eggs and salmon eggs. The size of capsules ranging 1 to 5mm was prepared and the mechanical tests were performed to determine the mechanical similarities to natural fish eggs. The similar mechanical pattern between the synthetic capsules and natural eggs could be found. The controlling parameters for the strength of capsules were pH of the chitosan solution. This encapsulation technique can be broadly applied to medical, engineering as well as food areas.

Temporal and spatial variations and species composition of ichthyoplanktons were investigated by Bongo net in a sea area with the construction of artificial upwelling structure at 13, June, 21 September, and 23 September in 2012. A total of fish eggs was 4,849 ind./$1,000m^3$, and fish larvaes was 641 ind./$1,000m^3$ in the study area. The common fish eggs was Engraulis japonicus which was composed of 57.5%, and unidentified I, II, III and IV were occurred with decreased number of individuals order. For fish larvaes, Pictiblennius yatabei, Repomucenus sp.A, sp.B and Scomber japonicus were dominated, however, other species were Engraulis japonicus, Konosirus puntatus, and unidentified I, II. Temporal variations of fish eggs and larvae were remarkable differed. Higher numbers of fish eggs and larvaes were July 2012, whereas those were lower at August 2012. Spatial variations of those were also significantly differed with higher numbers were at station 2 and 3 during study periods. The total number of fish eggs and larvae was about 4 fold against numbers of those in the compared area far from study area. These results indicated that higher numbers of fish eggs and larvaes were due to influx much more nutrients and food organisms with artificial upwelling.

To study the pelagic fish egg community in the mid-east coastal waters of the Yellow Sea, pelagic eggs were sampled with Bongo net at 13 stations from Chonsu Bay to Keum Estuary from July, 1985 to June, 1986. Nineteen taxa of pelagic eggs were collected. Among them, 7 taxa were identified to the species level, and 2 taxa to the family level. Engraulis japonica was the most abundant species with 89.5% of the total eggs; Sillago japonica was 2.5%; Clupanodon punctatus, 2.4%; Herklotsichthys zunasi, 1.7%; Callionymidae spp., 1.6%. These 5 taxa occupied 97.7% of the total eggs. Pelagic eggs occurred from April to October. In June and July, their abundances were high, but the species diversities were low as E. japonica eggs were predominant. The range of spawning temperature for each taxa were estimated from the occurence pattern of the pelagic eggs.

A total of 4 pelagic eggs and 24 larval fish species were collected in Masan Bay. Engraulis japonicus eggs predominated in pelagic eggs. Abundant larval fishes were Omobranchus elegans, Scomber japonicus, Acanthogobius flavimanus, Hexagrammos otakii, Repomucenus sp., Scartella cristata and Gobiidae sp., and these 7 species accounted for 78.5% in the total number of individuals. Temporal and spatial variation in both species composition and abundance of was large: the peak abundances of pelagic eggs and larval fishes occurred in July 2007, whilst these were lowest in February 2007. Higher abundance of ichtyoplankton were at station 5 than those of other stations. Temporal changes in the abundances of pelagic eggs and larval fishes corresponded with temperature. Pelagic eggs and larval fishes varied among stations between with shallower inner stations and deeper outer stations with physical characteristics such as depth and local topography.

To study the distribution of ichthyoplankton in the adjacent waters of Yousu, ichthyoplankton were sampled 4 times (September 1996, November 1996, February 1997 and May 1997). Four species of fish eggs and twenty-four species of fish larvae were identified. Among fish eggs, Engraulis japonicus eggs were the dominant species comprising $80.6\%$ of the total fish eggs collected, followed by Callionymidae spp. $1.6\%$, Konosirus punctatus and Maurolicus muelleri occupied below $1.0\%$ respectively, while $17.8\%$ were unidentified. Most larval fish species were found in September (17 species). In fish larvae, Callionymidae spp. was the dominant species occupying $25.7\%$ of total fish larvae collected and than followed by Gobiidae spp. $23.5\%$, Sillago japonica $17.2\%$ Engraulis japonicus $12.2\%$, Omobranchus elegans $9.9\%$ and the unidentified species were less than $2.0\%$. The larvae fish species collected in this study area were comprising the coastal sedentary species (Gobiidae, Callionymidae, Hexagrammos otakii and io on), and the warm water species (Auxis spp. and Coryphaena hipurus and Pomacentridae spp.) which were appearing by warm water current flowing near the costal area of Cheju Island.

Monthly variation of species composition and abundance of fish eggs were examined to know the spawning time and location of the fishes inhabiting the coastal region of Jejudo Island. Samplings had been performed at the four locations (Jeju port, Seongsanpo, Seogwipo port and Chagwido) with a bongo net which was towed monthly at the sea surface from August 2006 to July 2007. The fish eggs were identified based on phylogenetic analyses with the DNA sequences generated through PCR-amplification and sequencing of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene. Among a total of 43 taxa classified during the study period, 34 were identified to species, 4 to families, and the remaining 5 were unidentified. Of them, 23 taxa were occurred at Jeju port, 21 at Seongsanpo, 19 at Seogwipo port and 18 at Chagwido, whereas 15 taxa were found in September 2006, 12 in June 2007, 6 to 8 in August 2006 and January~May 2007, 5 in each October and November 2006, 3 in each December 2006 and July 2007. Among 34 species of fish eggs, Engraulis japonicus and Callanthias japonicus most frequently appeared at 16 times out of 48 observations in total. When those eggs were collected, the surface seawater temperature ranged $14.0{\sim}28.6^{\circ}C$ for E. japonicus and $14.9{\sim}20.5^{\circ}C$ for C. japonicus. The success rates of PCR-amplification and species identification in this study were 68.3% and 79.1%, respectively.

This article examines the types of Jwabans as recorded in 21 old books of the Joseon dynasty (1392-1909). The ingredients used in Jwabans during the Joseon dynasty were root vegetables, sea algae, seeds nuts, bird, meat, and fish. In the early, middle, and late eras of the Joseon dynasty, 10, nine, and 181 kinds of Jwabans were prepared, and two, one, and seven kinds of Jwabans were prepared using root vegetables (根菜類). During the early and late eras of the Joseon dynasty, one and 14 kinds of Jwabans were prepared using sea algae (海藻類), respectively, and four kinds of Jwabans were prepared using seeds nuts during late eras of the Joseon dynasty (種實類). During the early, mid and late eras, one, two, and 17 kinds of Jwabans were prepared using bird (鳥類), three, one, and 47 kinds of Jwabans were prepared using meat (肉類), and one, five, and 81 kinds of Jwabans were prepared using fish (魚類). The frequency of the Jwabans ingredients in order were fish (30.5%), meat (23.5%), pheasant (7%), root vegetables (5%), abalone (全鰒) (5%), laver (海苔) (4%), shellfish (貝類) (3%), fish eggs (魚卵) (2.5%), fleshy prawn (大蝦) (2.5%), sea tangle (昆布) (2%), dried tangle (海草) (1.5%), sparrow meat (雀肉) (1.5%), and etc during the Joseon dynasty. It seems that the appearance and supplementation with different ingredients increased throughout the Joseon dynasty. This may be associated with the commercial industrial development that prevailed during the late Joseon dynasty. Further study will be conducted on recipes and ingredients recorded in these old books to develop a standardized recipe to globalize Jwabans.

A study on the ichthyoplankton assemblage was conducted around Dokdo in the East Sea in September 1999 and May 2000. Sixteen species of fish larvae including eggs were collected during the surveys. Anchovy (Engraulis japonicus) eggs and larvae were comprised of 2.0% and 94.5% of total samples in number, respectively. Muller's pearlside (Maurolicus muelleri) eggs and larvae were comprised of 95.0% and 3.2%, respectively. The other species mostly composed of warm water species were less than 2% of total samples in number. The number of species and abundance of the fish lawae and eggs were higher in September than in May. Although there were limited data on the ichthyoplankton around Dokdo in summer and winter, this study area seems to be used for the spawning or nursery ground of fishes.

This study investigated the species composition and abundance of floating fish eggs to determine the timing and location of spawning of fish inhabiting the coastal waters of Sagye, Jejudo Island. Eggs were collected with a Bongo net bimonthly from May 2009 to February 2010. Identifications were based on nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene. Eggs were determined to belong to 43 distinct taxa, 35 of which were identified to the species level. The assemblage spanned eight orders, 23 families, and 32 genera. The number of taxa collected varied from month to month, with 14 taxa (12 species) found in June 2009, 11 taxa (10 species) in October 2009, 10 taxa (nine species) each in August 2009 and February 2010, eight taxa (six species) in April 2009, and five taxa (four species) in December 2009. Five abundant species (Branchiostegus japonicus, Engraulis japonicus, Pseudolabrus sieboldi, Goniistius zonatus, and Halichoeres tenuispinis) together represented 52.8% of the total number of eggs collected during the study.
