Chelating agents to sand lance fish sauce for the prevention of precipitate formation were applied. The precipitates consisted of crude protein (74.4%), ash (18.7%), and other components (6.9%). Sand lance sauce was mainly composed of glutamic acid (3.69 mg/g), alanine (2.96 mg/g), and lysine (2.64 mg/g). However, there was an increase in the amount of hydrophobic amino acids, phenylalanine, isoleucine, and leucine, in the precipitates. Sodium ions were not detected in the precipitate; rather, the main elements were Mg ($1.98{\times}10^4\;{\mu}g/g)$, K ($1.36{\times}10^4\;{\mu}g/g)$, and Ca ($6.66{\times}10^2\;{\mu}g/g)$. In HPLC analysis, fish sauce was composed of 2 main peaks with molecular weights of 85.5 and 528.4 Da, respectively. However, the precipitate contained one peak with a molecular weight of 1,513.5 Da. The addition of 0.2% malic acid and citric acid caused 55 and 70% prevention of the precipitate, respectively. Citric acid was the most effective chelating agent and efficiently prevented precipitation in the fish sauce.

Bacterial decarboxylation of amino acids in food leads to the production of biogenic amines, which can cause reactions in human that include headaches, nausea, palpitations, chills, and severe respiratory distress. The amine putrescine is an especially effective inhibitor of metabolizing enzymes and amplifies histamine intoxication and tyramine poisoning. Using an L-ornithine decarboxylating medium, we isolated 14 putrescine-producing bacteria from sand lance, Ammodytes personatus, sauces. The isolates were identified, using an API kit and 16S rRNA analysis, as Lysinibacillus fusiformis (1 strain), Lysinibacillus xylanilyticus (6 strains), Lysinibacillus macroides (1 strain), Lysinibacillus sphaericus (3 strains), Bacillus fusiformis (1 strain), Paenibacillus favisporus (1 strain), and Staphylococcus caprae (1 strain). These strains produced between 1.66 to 236.97 μg/mL of putrescine after 48 h incubation. Lysinibacillus spp. were the dominant putrescine-producing bacteria in sand lance sauces, which produced 236.97 μg/mL of putrescine from a culture broth containing 0.5% L-ornithine. This is the first report on the isolation and identification of putrescine-producing bacteria from sand lance sauces.

We isolated seven tryptamine-producing bacteria from commercial salted and fermented sand lance (Ammodytes personatus) sauces using an L-tryptophan decarboxylating medium. These tryptamine-producing bacteria, identified using an API kit and 16S rRNA analysis, included Lysinibacillus xylanilyticus (one strain), Lysinibacillus fusiformis (four strains), and Staphylococcus epidermidis (two strains). Lysinibacillus spp. produced the highest levels of tryptamine in culture broth containing 0.5% L-tryptophan, compared with 1.0% and 2.0% preparations. After 72 h of incubation, Staphylococcus epidermidis produced the highest levels of tryptamine ($60.50{\mu}g/mL$ and $664.86{\mu}g/mL$) in culture broth containing 2.0% L-tryptophan. While Lysinibacillus spp. comprised the dominant tryptamine-producing bacteria in sand lance sauces, Staphylococcus epidermidis also showed high tryptamine-producing activity. This is the first report on the isolation and identification of tryptamine-producing bacteria in sand lance sauces.

To develop the rapid processing of northern sand lance sauce by thermoase, the rapid fermentation conditions and quality of fermented sauce were investigated gated The recommendable condition of rapid fermentation were determined as follows: thermoase concentration, fermentation time and fermentation temperature were $0.2\%$, 9hr and $60^{\circ}C$, respectively. The northern sand lance sauce fermented rapidly showed light brown color. The sweet amino acids were higher in the rapid fermented-sauce than commercal fermented sauce although the content of total nitrogen, amino nitrogen and total amino acids were low in it. Hereafter we suppose that the rapid fermented sauce by thermoase will be wide usable because it can use the salted northern sand lance in short time.

Catching performance of a mechanized pollock longline system compared with traditional one were examined in order to evaluate the practicality during two cruises in the Sokcho area. Mechanized longline system consists of random baiter, bait cutting machine, storage rails, and line hauler. Baiting efficiency of random baiter was 90-95% with 4-5kt shooting speed. Catching performance of the first experiment, salted sand lance only used as a bait. shows no significant difference between mechanized operation with use fresh sand lance as a bait caught significantly more pollock than traditional one with use salted sand lance (P<0.016). Improved catch rates were about 2 times. As soak time goes on, relative catching efficiency shows a steady increase up to 6~7 hours and thereafter gradually decrease.

This study investigated the effects of the number of washes and alkaline treatments ($NaHCO_3$ concentrations) and the concentration of potato starch on the quality of fish meat paste products prepared from sand lance Ammodytes personatus Girard. We found significantly (P<0.05) higher ratings for the all textural parameters (hardness, brittleness, elasticity, and cohesiveness) of the sand-lance meat paste products (SLMPPs) that were washed three times with a 0.5% $NaHCO_3$ concentration. We determined that an 8% concentration of potato starch leads to the best textural properties in SLMPPs. As the amount of potato starch was increased, the redness values of SLMPPs decreased significantly (P<0.05), but the differences in the sensory evaluation parameters (texture, flavor, taste, and overall acceptability) between the SLMPPs were not significant.

Fish sauce is a traditional Korean fermented seafood and has been used as a condiment since long time ago. Northern sand lance sauce was manufactured with koji, enzyme, and squid viscera of fermentation accelerating agents, and ripened at $15^{\circ}C$. Moisture contents of all samples decreased gradually as fermentation progressed. Crude protein contents increased rapidly up to 1 month-fermentation and then increased slightly up to 5 month. Northern sand lance sauce with squid viscera was the highest in the contents of protein and lipid. The ash content increased gradually during the fermentation periods, while pHs decreased. TMA contents increased up to 3 month-ripening and then decreased slightly. Amino nitrogen content of Northern sand lance sauce with squid viscera increased as fermentation progressed and was the highest among all samples. VBN contents increased up to 5 month-ripening and that of Northern sand lance sauce with squid viscera was the higher than others.

Increasing marine transportation of dangerous goods using containers causes fire accidents on ships due to leakage of dangerous materials. In IMO (MSC.93), all vessels that are to be loaded five or more containers on weather deck area after 1 January 2016 are required to have a fire extinguishing system called Water Mist Lance (WML) on board. In this study, numerical analysis is performed to design WML with optimal edge radius of curvature using LS-DYNA. The analysis results for the three models with 10 mm, 15 mm and 20 mm lengths of the edge part showed that the only model with 15 mm length penetrated the wall of the container and did not cause damage to the edge of the WML. In the future, based on the results of this study, we will make a WML of prototype and conduct a performance test. And we will continue to improve the problems.

This study investigated the quality of seven commercial salted and fermented sand lance Ammodytes personatus sauces by measuring their chemical compositions, bacteria concentrations, and biogenic amine contents. The sauces had a 63.97-67.32% (mean: 65.72%) moisture content, 23.16-24.03% (mean: 23.60%) salinity, 5.51-6.14 (mean: 5.81) pH, 164.76-217.98 mg/100 g (mean: 182.97 mg/100 g) volatile basic nitrogen, 0.94-1.42% (mean: 1.24%) total nitrogen, and 673.77-791.86 mg/100 g (mean: 720.76 mg/100 g) amino nitrogen content. Viable cell counts ranged from $1.2{\times}10^1$ to $2.9{\times}10^2CFU/mL$, and number of biogenic amine-forming bacteria was very low or not detected. Overall, the tested samples had average levels of histamine of 301.02 mg/kg, cadaverine of 29.78 mg/kg, tyramine of 199.21 mg/kg, putrescine of 183.00 mg/kg, and tyramine of 13.01 mg/kg. This strongly suggests that it is necessary to monitor the biogenic amine contents of commercial salted and fermented sand lance sauces carefully to ensure consumer health.
