Histopathological changes and cadmium accumulations in the gills were investigated in crucian carp (Carassius auratus) exposed to 0, 0.01, 0.1, 0.5 mg/1 cadmium (Cd) concentrations for 25 days. After 25 days of exposure. cadmium accumulations increased in each of the different exposure concentrations. Histopathological changes in the gills of curcian carp exposed to cadmium included the acidification of mucous cell, the terminal clubbing of lamellae, the hyperplasia of epitherial cell and the curved of secondary lamellae. The similar histopathological changes were observed once the accumulations of cadmium reached the similar levels found in the present study with the different exposure schemes. Also the acidification of mucous cell in gills appeared when cadmium accumulations reached 5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g and more. These results suggested that histopathological changes in the gills, an appearance of mucous cell acidification. be used to estimate the relation between toxic effect and cadmium accumulations in the gills.

Olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus were exposed to waterborne Cu (control, 50, 80, 150, and 320 ${\mu}g$/L) for 30 days and then depurated for 20 days to investigate the effects of waterborne Cu exposure on growth, accumulation, and elimination. The weight-specific growth rate was significantly negatively related to waterborne Cu concentrations at 150 and 320 ${\mu}g$/L. The order of Cu accumulation in different tissues of exposed fish was liver>intestines>gills>kidneys>muscle, suggesting that the liver is more important than other tissues for the storage of Cu in olive flounder. The accumulation factor for the gills, intestines, liver, and muscle increased with increasing exposure time, and accumulation was negatively related to exposure concentration for the gills, kidneys, and muscle. Cu concentrations in the gills, intestines, and liver continuously decreased for 20 days of depuration. The fastest elimination rate occurred in the intestines at all exposure concentrations, and the order of Cu elimination in the different tissues was intestines>liver>gills.

The effects of waterborne arsenic (As) exposure on bioaccumulation and antioxidant defenses were examined in the liver and gills of tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, under thermal stress. Tilapia were exposed to different As concentrations (0, 200, and $400{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$) at three water temperatures (20, 25, and $30^{\circ}C$) for 20 days. After As exposure, higher levels of As accumulation were observed in the gills compared with the liver in elevated water temperatures. In terms of the antioxidant response, glutathione (GSH) levels and the activities of glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and glutathione S-transferase (GST) significantly decreased in the liver and gills of tilapia exposed to As for 20 days, regardless of the As concentration (200 and $400{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$) or water temperature. These enzyme activities exhibited greater fluctuations in the liver and gills of tilapia after As exposure in water warmer than $20^{\circ}C$. The present findings suggest that the simultaneous stress of temperature change and As exposure can accelerate As accumulation and alter the antioxidant enzymes activities of tilapia.

2001년 9월 19일부터 동년 10월 3일까지 Hartfield Marine Science Center Aquarium에서 구입한 볼락류 Sebastes melanops 7마리의 아가미에 부착한 단생 흡충류를 조사하였다. 파악기와 정소 수를 근거로 한 불락류(S. melanops)의 단생 흡충류는 Microcotyle sebastis였다.M. sebastis의 감염률은 42.9%이었고 감염강도는 1-11(평균 2.0)을 나타내었다. 단생 흡충류의 감염부위는 주로 감염어 아가미의 제 2차와 제 3차 새변이었다. 따라서, 아가미의 제 2차와 제 3차 새변 표면은 M. sebastis의 분포에 영향을 끼치고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

양식 조피볼락에 기생하는 단생흡충류인 Microcotyle sebastis의 분포패턴을 아가미 새궁별, 새엽별(전방과 후방) 및 등면, 중앙면, 복면으로 구분하여 조사하였다. 조사 결과 M. sebastis는 제 2 및 제 3 새궁에 유의성 있는 선호도를 나타냈으며, 후방보다는 전방부의 새엽과 중앙 부위에서 집중적으로 발견되었다. 이러한 결과로 부터 각 아가미 새엽으로 들어오는 물의 양과 아가미의 표면적이 M. sebastis의 분포에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 것으로 여겨지며, 또한 전방 중앙부에 집중적으로 기생하는 원인은 미소서식처의 범위를 좁힘으로써 개체간의 접촉을 증가시기고, 이를 통해 교미의 효율을 높이기 위한 것으로 사료된다.

Saprolegnia diclina, which was the pathogen causing death in snake fishes(Channa argus) at culture farm, was investigated using scanning electron microscope. It was found that Saprolegnia diclina infection caused snake fishes to fail gas change in the gills. Cell lysis as well as edematous disease and hyperplasia as a result of Saprolegnea diclina attachment on the surface of gills were observed. The granules, the mean diameters of which ranged from 6 to $7\;{\mu}m$, attaching on the surface of gills were found to be secondary zoospores of Saprolegnia diclina. The failures of gas exchange in the gill cells and circulation as a result of the osmotic dilution of the blood were supposed to be the main cause of death.

The study of the gill infection of rockfishes, Sebastes spp. by monogenetic trematodes conducted during March 2002 to June 2002 are presented. Three species are reported krom examination of 23 rockfishes collected from Oregon Coast Aquarium and Newport fish market, Oregon. Ten rockishes belonging to three species showed an infection rate of 43.5%. A total of 135 monogenetic trematodes was found in the gills of Sebastes spp. Of 135 worms recovered from the gills of 4 harbor rockfishes, two were Sebastes maliger, 14 S. melanops, 110 S. pinniger, and 9 S. crameri. Prevalence and intensity in Microcotyle seba.fis were 11.9％ and 4.0, and for Trochopus trituba they were 81.5% and 55.0, and for Trochopus australis, they were 6.7% and 2.3, respectively. These worms are mainly found firmly attached to the primary lamellae of the gills of the rockfishes.

Histopathological changes of gills and caudal fins isolated from fishes, Cyprinus carpio, Carassius auratus, and Hernibarbus labeo, which were killed by oxygen deficiency or toxic chemicals, were studied. The toxic chemicals were HCl, NaOH, chloroform, benzene, heavy metals(Cu, Cr, Zn, Pb, Hg), and o-dichlorobenzene. The exposure level was enough to kill the fishes within 30 minutes. Oxygen deficient water was prepared by aeration of nitrogen gas and the oxygen concentration was less than l ppm. Cryocutting was used for the rapid preparation of tissue slides and the tissues were stained by hematoxylin/eosin. In the fishes killed by hazardous chemicals, congestion and/or hyperplasia of secondary lamella and erosion of fin were found as the major histopathological changes. Whereas, these characteristics were not observed in gills or caudal fins of fishes killed by oxygen deficiency. These different bioindications appeared in the fishes killed by toxic substances or natural causes, can be used for the rapid identification of the causes of fish kills.

Tissue reactions in gills of cultured red seabream, Pagrus major, toan epitheliocystis infection are described. Basophilic intracellular inclusions in gills contained prokaryotes, most probably a Chlamydia-like organisms according to morphological characteristic. A few types of tissue reaction were found around the inclusions: encapsulation, epithelial hyperplasia, lamellar fusion, and inflammation. It was considered that eosinophilic granule cells and macrophages might take part in defense reactions against this prokaryotic organism.
