The turnover of epidermal cells after seawater adaptation of the freshwater fishwas studied in the guppy (Poecilia reticulata) by means of Proliferating cell nucleus antigen (PCNA) immunocytochemistry and transmission electron microscopy. The number of PCNA-immunoreactive cells in the epidermis of the seawater-adapted guppies, which becomes thinner than that in the fresh-water, generally increases four times as much. Degeneration of filament-containing cells by necrosis or apoptosis occurs mainly in epidermal cells. Apoptotic filament-containing cells seem to be shed into the water in the environment instead of phagocytosis by adjacent macrophages. The apoptotic chloride cell has a highly condensed cytoplasm and the lumen of tubular system is distended. The apoptotic mucous cell, which has an electron-dense cytoplasm, is characterized by the presence of a large multivesicular body of different electron densities. Macrophages contain many electron-dense lysosomal bodies and large vesicles filled with cellular debris. It is concluded that mitosis and apoptosis of epidermal cells are greatly stimulated when fish are adapting to seawater. This result reflects an increase in epidermal cell turnover by change of environmental salinity.

We reported an outbreak of Aeromonas (A.) veronii responsible for ulcerative dermatitis in Israeli carp (Cyprinus carpio). The major clinical signs were darkening body, abdominal extension, exophthalmos and severe ulcerative necrosis in the skin. The necropsy showed yellowish ascites, necrosis in liver and enlargement of kidney and spleen in the morbid fish. In blood agar for culturing bacteria, three different colonies were identified as A. veronii, Plesimonas shigelloides and Shewanella putrefaciens by phylogenetic identification using 16S rRNA or gyrB gene sequences. A. veronii was the most dominant species among them and was resistant to ampicillin, nalidixic acid and oxytetracycline.

Reproduction and organ structure of the pale chub, Zacco platypus in Isa stream were investigated by means of histological methods. The results of the study confirmed reproductive abnormality and histopathological features in the pale chub. The gonadosomatic index (GSI) of the fish showed two peak in April and August. In summer season, GSI of the male was about two times of the female's GSI. Monthly variation of the gonadal development was very irregular. From the histological analysis of the organ structure, epidermal atrophy, necrosis and hyperplasia of pigment cell were observed in the skin. Epithelial layer lifting and clubbing of the lamella and bifurcation of the filament were observed in the gill. Also histological changes as congestion, cytoplasmic degeneration of hepatic cell, degeneration of bile duct, glomerular dilatation, degeneration of renal tubule and pycnosis of interstitial cell were identified in the liver and kidney, respectively.

Levels of sterols including ${\Delta}^7$-dehydrogenase isolated from the tissues of marine animal products (20 species) were determined on 1.5% OV-17 columm of gas-liquid chromatography. The composition showed that the mussels and clams contained various sterols in their tissues : cholesterol, brassicasterol. 24-methylenecholesterol with some minor components such as 22-trans-norcholesta-5,22-dien-3${\beta}$-ol, 22-cis-dehydrocholesterol, 22-trans-dehydrocholesterol, desmosterol, 7-dehydrocholesterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, ${\beta}$-sitosterol, isofucosterol, and 7-dehydrocholesterol which could be converted into vitamin $D_3$ in the skin tissue of animal was present in the muscle of oyster, Crassostrea gigas. On the other hand, the others including gastropoda were predominantly composed of cholesterol. The minor sterols such as 24-methylenecholesterol, stigmasterol and ${\beta}$-sitosterol in the fish intestines are supposed to be derived from dietary plankton. Cholesterol ${\Delta}^7$-dehydrogenase which could convert cholesterol into ${\Delta}^7$-dehydrogenase was present in the pickles of Tricurus haumela intestine.

The Aeromonas strains were isolated from diseased cultured catfsh (Silurus asotus) in the ponds near by Gochang of Chunbuk. The present isolates were identified as A. hydrophila based on their biological and biochemica1 characteristics. The isolates of A. hydrophila were named GC-1, GC-2, GC-3, GC-4 and GC-5, Five strains were grew optimally at temperatures $35^{\circ}C,$ pH 7.5 and in 0.5 to l% NaCl. This bacterium(GC-1) was injected into health catfish in order to prove the causative agent of ascites and haemorrhagic ulcers. The symptoms in cat fish infected by this challenge method were observed to be very similar to the symptoms of a natural infection, but controls did not show any abnormal symptoms during the experimental period. At 24 post-injection, the red spot developed around the injection site and the haemorrhagic ulcers was extended near the gill and ventral fin. Five strains were tested for drug sensitivity by plate method. All strains were sensitivity to gentamicin and resistant to penicillin, streptomycin and tetracycline.

Processing of collagen from yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) abdominal skins was optimized by response surface methodology and central composite design. The values of independent variables at optimal conditions were NaOH concentration: 0.5 N, NaOH treatment time: 36.2 hr, pepsin concentration: 1:4.9 ratio (0.245%, w/v), and digestion time: 48.1 hr, respectively. The collagen content estimated under optimal conditions was 33.1%, and the actual experimental collagen content was 32.3%. Physicochemical properties of collagen from yellowfin tuna abdominal skin were investigated by amino acids analysis, SDS-PAGE, FT-IR, viscosity and denaturation temperature. Amino acids content of the collagen was 21.0%. SDS-PAGE pattern of the collagen showed two different $\alpha$-chain (${\alpha}_1$- and ${\alpha}_2$- chain), $\beta$-component and $\gamma$-component. The spectrum of FT-IR of the collagen showed wavenumber at 3,434, 1,650, 1,542 and $1,235\;cm^{-1}$ representing the regions of amide A, I, II and III, respectively. Relative viscosity of the collagen decreased continuously on heating up to $32^{\circ}C$, and the rate of decrease was retarded in the temperature range of $35-50^{\circ}C$. Denaturation temperature (Td) of the collagen solution (0.06%, w/v) was $31^{\circ}C$ and was lower than calf skin collagen ($35^{\circ}C$).
