The gut microbiota of aquatic animals plays a crucial role in host health through nutrient acquisition and outcompetition of pathogens. In this study, on the basis of the high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA gene amplicons, we examined the bacterial communities in the gut of freshwater shrimp (Macrobrachium nipponense) and in their living environments (sediment and pond water) and analyzed the effects of abiotic and biotic factors on the shrimp gut bacterial communities. High bacterial heterogeneity was observed in the freshwater shrimp gut samples, and the result indicated that both the surrounding bacterial community and water quality factors (particularly dissolved oxygen and temperature) could affect the shrimp gut bacterial community. Despite the observed heterogeneity, 57 genera, constituting 38-99% of the total genera in each of the 40 shrimp gut samples, were identified as the main bacterial population in the gut of M. nipponense. In addition, a high diversity and abundance of lactic acid bacteria (26 genera), which could play significant roles in the digestion process in shrimp, were observed in the shrimp gut samples. Overall, this study provides insights into the gut bacterial communities of freshwater shrimp and basic information for shrimp farming regarding the application of probiotics and disease prevention.

The branchiobdellidan species Holtodrilus truncatus (Liang, 1963) is reported for the first time in Korea. The genus Holtodrilus Gelder and Brinkhurst, 1990 is monotypic within the family Xironodrilidae, and the genus and family of this species are also new to the Korean fauna. The branchiobdellidan specimens were collected from the exoskeletons of the freshwater atyid shrimp, Neocaridina sp., sampled from the 'Andeok Valley', Jeju-do Province, South Korea. Holtodrilus truncatus is characterized by its terete body form, 7/7 dental formula (with a large medial tooth and three pairs of smaller lateral teeth), and no trunk appendages. In addition, we determined a partial sequence of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) gene as a DNA barcode marker for H. truncatus. The present study is the first record of the branchiobdellidan occurrence on a non-crayfish host (shrimp) in Korea. To date, seven species (four genera in three families) of branchiobdellidans have been reported in the Korean fauna.

White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) causes the most serious epizootic in cultured penaeid shrimp. The epizootic started in 1992, and spread through east and south east Asia and into other shrrimp growing countries of the region. In order to circumvent the epizootic, in many Asian countries, freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii is being widely considered as an alternative species to marine shrimp. (omitted)

The palaemonid shrimp Exopazaemon modestus inhabits the freshwater of the Indo-West Pacific, Siberia, Manchuira, Korea, China, Taiwan (Holthuis, 1980) and is abundant in the fresh water areas of southwest of Korea. Palaemonid shrimps are adapted to a variety of habitats in freshwater, brackish and marine environments. They play important role in the ecosystem of fresh, brackish and marine waters, acting as predators feeding on algae, detritus, crustaceans and meiofauna (Bell and Coull, 1978) and in turn, as preys for fishes and other predators (Anderson, 1985).

염소, 요오드, 담수처리에 의한 바이러스 병원성 약화 시험결과, 염소 5 ppm이상에서, 담수 50% 이상에서 살균효과를 나타내었으나 요오드는 효과가 없었다. Peptidoglycan, schzophyllan의 면역증강 효과를 시험한 결과, 각각 7일간 격 투여구와 2일간격 투여구에서 생존율이 대조군에 비해 높게 나타났다. 화학적, 효소적, 생물활균제를 투여하여 수질 및 저질 개선시험결과 화학적 개선제, Mg(OH)$_2$의 효과가 수질, pH, 강열감량 부분에서 효과가 가장 컸으며, 특이하게 효소적 개선제는 총 황화물의 농도를 약간 높이는 것으로 나타났다.

We investigated the fecundity, egg size, reproductive output, and breeding frequency and season of Neocaridina denticulata denticulata and Latreutes planirostris which inhabit extremely different habitats. The marine shrimp Latreutes planirostris produced more eggs had at a given carapace length than the freshwater shrimp N. d. denticulata. However, N. d. denticulata had a larger egg volume and greater reproductive output than L. planirostris. The monthly gonadosomatic index (GSI) of the freshwater shrimp began to increase in April and reached a maximum in May, suggesting a single breeding period. In contrast, the GSI of the marine shrimp exhibited two breeding peaks: May-June and September. In both shrimps, the regressions between carapace length and ovarian weight were significant at the non-eyed and eyed embryo stages. For both species, an analysis of covariance revealed significant difference between the two regressions in elevation, but not in slope. These results indicate the potential for multiple ovulations within the reproductive season.

We surveyed the freshwater invertebrates of Jindo Island twice on July and September 2016, as part of a joint faunal survey conducted to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Korean Society of Systematic Zoology. Aquatic insects were not included in this study. We found 38 freshwater species from seven phyla: Porifera, Platyhelminthes, Nematomorpha, Mollusca, Annelida, Arthropoda, and Bryozoa. Twenty-one of the 38 species (55.3%) represented the first record of their respective species on Jindo Island. Among these species, a freshwater shrimp-parasitic isopod, Tachaea n. sp., was identified as a new species.

Neocaridina denticulata is a small freshwater shrimp indigenous to Korea. As an indigenous species has long-adapted to particular water environments, the species can be a suitable indicator to assess environmental risks caused by hazard chemicals in the particular site. Thus Neocaridina denticulata, a small freshwater shrimp indigenous to Korea, is worth considering for a test species for such purpose. N. denticulata were exposed to pentachlorophenol sodium salt, sodium azide and potassium dichromate using automatic flow-through system for 96 hours. The 96 hr lethal concentrations ($LC_{50}$) of these chemicals were calculated as $0.53{\pm}0.09\;mg/L$, $2.40{\pm}0.61\;mg/L$ and $1.21{\pm}0.09\;mg/L$ respectively and showed relatively small deviation from repetitive test results. When compared with the toxicity values of other species for each chemical, N. denticulata had moderate or high sensitivity to the toxicity of these chemicals. It can be concluded that N. denticulata is a good test species to evaluate acute toxicity of various hazardous chemicals.

The effects of insecticide dimilin including the technical grade(tg) and wettable power(wp-25), inhibiting the synthesis of chitin in the cuticle of insect larvae, and herbicides alachlor and atrazine on the development of shrimp caridina denticulata denticulata were investigated in various concentrations. This species is abundant in the freshwater such as river and pond. The shrimp larvae were reared at dimilin solutions(tg and wp 2), alachlor solutions, and atrazin solutions. the concentrations of dimiline were 0, 1, 5, 10 and 25 ppb dimilin solutions, and those of alachlor and atrazin were 0, 1, 5, 10 and 25ppm, respectively.mortality was high at 10 ppb when the larvae were exposed to dimilin and at 25ppm in the case of alachlor and atranzine solutions. If lethal concentration is defined as a concentration in which less than 10% of larvae to the post larval stage from hatching it can be concluded that the lethal concentration of dimilin is 5ppb, and that of alachlor and atrazin is 25 ppm.
