An investigation was carried out to determine the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella isolated from chicks and ducks. A total of 2,522 samples collected from 281 farms were examined from 2013 to 2014. The overall prevalence of Salmonella spp. was 21.7% (61/281) of farms and 83 isolates (3.3%) were isolated from 2,522 samples. Nine serotypes of Salmonella spp. were identified such as S. Typhimurium (19/83), S. Enteritidis (12/83), S. London (11/83), S. Senftenberg (8/83), S. Infantis (4/83), S. Montevideo (3/83), S. Hadar (3/83), S. Saintpaul (1/83), S. Rissen (1/83) and S. Arizonae (2/83). Nineteen isolates were found to be untypable serotypes. In the results of antimicrobial resistance test, all of isolates were resistant to at least two antimicrobial agent and the high resistance was found to nalidixic acid (66.3%), streptomycin (57.8%). All of isolates were susceptible to amoxacillin/clavulic acid, cefeprime, ampicillin, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim. This results indicated the serotypes of Salmonella isolates are widely distributed in chicks and ducks. Therefore further epidemiological studies should be carried out in breeder farm and a hatchery.

It has long been believed for the presence of infectious coryza affecting serious economic loss in domestic poultry industry. However, the etiologic agent has not been isolated until quite recently. From 1979, several strains of Haemophilus-like organism were isolated from chickens with symptoms similar to infectious coryza, and their colonial morphology, growth requirement, biochemical properties and pathogenicity were assessed. In addition, serological properties of the isolates by cross hemagglutination inhibition test was also investigated. The results indicated that all the isolates were identified as Haemophilus gallinarum which had similar characteristics to the reference strains.

For the gonadal sex management of younger longtooth grouper (Epinephelus bruneus), this work investigated the timing and histological process of ovary differentiation and oocyte development of longtooth grouper larvae and juvenile. Specimens (from 1 to 365 DAH) were collected for gonadal histological study from June 2008 to August 2009. Rearing water temperature was ranged from 20 to $24^{\circ}C$. The primordial germ cells could be observed from 10 to 15 DAH, while undifferentiated gonad occurs from 20 to 50 DAH in longtooth grouper. The initial ovarian phase was 60 to 110 DAH with the formation of ovarian cavity and the increased in size of gonad. The ovarian phase started at 140 DAH with appearance of oogonia. The gonad at 365 DAH appeared to have full of oogonia and primary growth stage oocyte. Formation of ovarian cavity indicates that the ovarian differentiation beginning at 60 DAH in longtooth grouper. The gonads in longtooth grouper differentiated directly into ovaries in all fish examined.

Triploids have several potential advantages over diploids in aquaculture, drawing an elevated commercial reaction into the realistic application of the techniques despite we are still in the early stage of triploid industry for the Pacific oysters Crassostrea gigas. We traced the growth performance of the triploid C. gigas for over a year from hatchery spats, which was created by manipulations of chemicals (Cytochalasin B, CB or 6-Dimethylaminopurine, 6-DMAP). The growth was clearly marked by an initial longer dormancy and following a great magnitude of heterogeneity. The dormancy was almost 9 to 10-month long or even longer and was considered as a downside of the creation. The heterogeneity was magnified by appearance of extraordinarily growing oysters in part during summer season, which could be a representative upside of the triploids. Overall, however, the results were not as positive as were expected. The longer dormancy and following heterogeneity observed in our practice could be marked as an additional negative sign of the chemical use. The present study, thus, might be highly indicative in the introduction of biological cross between tetraploid and diploid to produce natural triploid embryos.

Genetic analysis of rainbow trout populations in hatchery stocks is important in order to develop a strategy for their management. In this study, chromosome number and polymorphisms of diploid and artificially induced triploid rainbow trout are discribed. The relation-ship between chromosomal polymorphism and their economic values for the aquaculture industry are also discussed.

An economic appraisal of a proposed marine ranching project is analysed using capital budgeting model such as net present value(NPV) and internal rate of return( IRR) as well as sensitivity analysis and goal seeking model. Of the factors for economic appraisal, direct benefits are to be determined by estimated harvest, prices and costs incurred by catching fishes, and indirect benefits include the additional economic effect of recreational fishing. And judging the worth of these project options depends upon the choice of discount rate of which 8.5% is recommended here. On the basis of estimated production, prices and costs the project is expected to yield NPV=615 million won and IRR=8.8%, which is quite accepted for an economic feasibility, under the first scenario, and NPV= -127 million won and IRR=7.93%, which is rejected, under the second scenario. Sensitivity analysis has been performed by calculating the switching value and sensitivity indicator in respect of the main project parameters. The results suggest that the project NPV and IRR are especially sensitive to fishes(rock fish and other rock fish) prices and fixed costs. Finally goal seeking analysis is carried out in order to reach a desired level of performance like NPV=0 in respect of the amount of hatchery-reared juverniles, the prices and the discount rate.

In February of 1990, an epizootic disease to masu salmon. Onchorynchus masou cultured at the hatchery of trout in Samchuk. Kwangwondo have broken out and induced heavy mortality. An infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus(IHNV) was isolated from diseased masu salmon fry by the use of fish cell line, CHSE-214. This IHNV isolated from masu salmon was compared with USA isolates of IHNV, SRCV and RB-76 by analysis of virion proteins in sodium dodecyl sulfate poly-acrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and neutralization tests with two monoclonal antibodies raised against SRCV(MAb SRCV/A4) and RB-76(MAb RB/B5). In the antigenicity and the size of structural proteins. this IHNV, SCS atrain was smilar to RB-76 belonged to the electropherotype I proposed by Hsu et al.(1986).

In a survey of net-caged yellowtail Seriola quinqueradiata in the southern parts of Korean Peninsula, we found infestations of ciliate in the gills of the moribund fish during the abnormally elevated temperature. The ciliate was very similar to genus Colpoda Muller, 1773 on morphological and reproductive characteristics. Histopathological changes revealed that the ciliate invaded gills only, causing extensive destruction of the gill filaments including lamella without any clinical signs found in the other organs and tissues. This is the first record of the parasitic ciliate in cultured yellowtail.

Gonadal development and gametogenic cycle of the equilateral venus, Gomphina collected in the coastal waters of Gangneung, Gangwon-do, Korea were investigated by means of histological method from March 2001 to February 2002. Sex of the clam was dioecious. The gonads are composed of a number of gametogenic follicles. The gonad index (GI) was reached the maximum in June (3.87), and the minimum in August (0.66). The condition index (CI) was reached the maximum in May (0.051), and the minimum in January (0.028). The gametogenic cycle of the clam could be divided into five stages inactive (September to November), early active (November to March), late active (April to May), ripe (June and July) and spent/degenerative stage (July to August). Sex ratio (male/female) was 1:0.9.

Microsatellite DNA markers were used to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure of Pacific abalone Haliotis discus hannai collected from six locations (Uljin, Ulsan, Daechon, Taean, Wando, and Yosu) where hatchery-produced abalone have been released intensively. There was no distinguishable difference in the observed and expected heterozygosities between the six populations and a cultured population. However, there was a difference in the number of alleles per locus: 12.8 for the cultured population and 13.8 to 15.8 for the six populations. The proportion of stocked abalone ranged from 41.1 to 92.7% for wild-caught populations with a decreasing tendency of alleles per locus for an increasing proportion of stocked abalone. A departure from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) assessed using the Markov chain procedure (P<0.05) was observed in the six populations and cultured population at loci Hdh145 and Hdh5l2. The pairwise Fst test (P<0.05) showed a significant difference between the Uljin and Ulsan populations and four remaining populations (Wando, Daechon, Yosu, and the cultured population), among which the Wando population differed less than the other three populations (Daechon, Yosu, and the cultured population).
