Deterioration of fish muscle is known to occur more quickly in the dark fleshed fish than in the white fleshed fish, causing by their high intestinal proteolytic activity. Muscle degradation which suffer post-mortem autoproteolysis is affected by trypsin with its unique activation function towards other enzymes. To compare physicochemical and enzymatic properties for the trypsins of the dark fleshed fish, trypsins from the viscera of anchovy (Engraulis japonica), and the pyloric caeca of mackerel (Scomber japonicus), yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacores) and albacore (Thunnus alalunga) were purified through ammonium sulfate fractionation, benzamidine-Sepharose 6B, DEAE-Sephadex A-50, and Sephadex G-75 chromatography Two trypsins from mackerel (designated mackerel trypsin A and mackerel trypsin B), and one each from anchovy, yellowfin tuna and albacore were isolated as electrophoretical homogeneity, The purities of anchovy trypsin, mackerel trypsin A and B, yellowfin tuna trypsin, and albacore trypsin increased to 78.1, 4.8, 9.3, 120, and 160-fold, respectively, compared to crude enzyme solutions. Molecular weights of the trypsins from the dark fleshed fish estimated by SDS-polyacrylamide electrophoresis were ranged from 22kDa to 26kDa. The trypsins contained higher amount of glycine, serine and aspartic acid, and less amount of tryptophan, methionine, lysine and tyrosine. Optimal conditions for amidotici reactions of the enzymes were pH 8.0 and 45$^{\circ}C$ for anchovy trypsin, pH 8.0 and 5$0^{\circ}C$ for mackerel trypsin A and B, pH 9.0 and 55$^{\circ}C$ for yellowfin tuna trypsin, and pH 9.0 and 5$0^{\circ}C$ for albacore trypsin. It was supposed that the habitat temperature of the dark fleshed fish is slightly connected with the optimal reaction temperature of the trypsins of the fish.

The authors analyzed the daily catch data which were obtained from two different regions at the Southern Sea in Korea, Neungpo, Geoje island and Yangwhagum, Namhae island, during three or four years in 1978, 1981-1985, in order to know the fishing characteristics of the set net fisheries. The favorable fishing season was summer in the southern sea. The total catches during one year were greatly affected by those several day when the dominant species of fish were caught in large quantities. The dominant species of fish at Neungpo were little horse mackerel, sand lance, sardine, hair tail, spanish mackerel and common mackerel, and those at Yangwhagun were anchovy, little horse mackerel, sardine, spanish mackerel and gizzard shad, in order of catch. Especially, the little horse mackerel and the sardine appeared to make up very big schools at both Neungpo and Yangwhagum. The occurrence seasons of the dominant species were different by the region, but generally those were earlier at western part than at eastern part of the Southern Sea in Korea.

The feeding habits of Spanish mackerel (Scomberomorus niphonius) were studied based on the examination of stomach contents of 445 specimens collected from January to December 2004, in the Southern Sea of Korea. The size of Spanish mackerel ranged from 26.1 to 105.4 cm in fork length (FL). Spanish mackerel was a piscivorous fish which mainly consumed teleost fishes such as chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) and anchovy (Engraulis japonicus). Its diet also included small quantities of shrimps, stomatopods, cephalopods, crabs, polychaetes, amphipods, cumaceans and copepods. Smaller individuals (<60 cm FL) consumed small fishes such as Engraulis japonicus and crustaceans. The portion of these prey items decreased with increasing fish size, and this decrease was paralleled with increased consumption of lager fishes such as Scomber japonicus and Cololabis saira. The prey size increased with the increase of fish size.

Standard recipes of various fish dishes for cook/chill system were developed to provide foodservice managers in kindergarten with more effective management system. Three kinds of fish dishes, Broiled Mackerel, Flounder Stew and Squid Bulgogi were selected as menu items in this study, and the standard recipes for these fish dishes were developed through the sensory evaluation, and microbiological analyses were performed to assure the quality of fish dishes. The microbial counts of the fish dishes which were chilled at 0∼3$^{\circ}C$ and stored for 10 days in refrigerator were as follows : Aerobic bacteria were not detected in Broiled Mackerel; however, those in Flounder Stew were 2.92${\pm}$0.01∼3.84 ${\pm}$0.06 Log CFU/g and those in Squid Bulgogi were 3.16${\pm}$0.01∼4.80${\pm}$0.02 Log CFU/g. Coliform bacteria were not detected in any fish dishes. All the sensory characteristics showed no significant differences between the first and third day of storage, except the feeling after swallowing of Flounder Stew. Overall acceptability scores of chilled stored foods in the first and third day were 6.87${\pm}$0.99 and 6.40${\pm}$1.40 in Broiled Mackerel, 6.87${\pm}$0.35 and 6.73${\pm}$1.10 in Flounder Stew, 6.13${\pm}$0.99 and 6.07 ${\pm}$0.80 in Squid Bulgogi, respectively.

Effects of muscle extracts of five species of fish and shell-fish, mackerel, jack mackerel, yellow corvenia, shrimp and baby-neck clam, on lipid oxidation were investigated using a model system consisting of methyl linoleate absorbed in micro crystalline cellulose and extracts of fishes. Ethanol extracts of both mackerel and jack mackerel apparently showed inhibitory effect on the oxidation of methyl linoleate, while the extract of yellow corvenia, and baby-neck clam showed a slight catalyzed effect on contrary. The ethanol extract of shrimp, however, revealed no effect on the oxidation of methyl linoleate. When the ethanol extracts were dialyzed, the outer fractions of dark fleshed fish had a strong inhibitory effect on the oxidation of methyl linoleate, while the inner fractions did not. The outer fraction of yellow corvenia showed catalyzed effect, but the inner fraction inhibited the oxidation slightly. The outer fraction of shrimp had a strong inhibitory action, but the inner fraction showed no effect. The methanol-water fraction of chloroform-methanol extract of shrimp showed a quite strong inhibitory effect on the oxidation, whereas that of four other samples did the same levels of effect as ethanol extracts.

A field experiment was carried out for fishes on entering time to a set-net, swimming speed, current speed and direction at the Dongbok-Ri coast on Cheju Island. The results of the experiment are as follows : 1. The observation results from 07:00 to 18:00 showed that coral fish, flying fish, horse mackerel, drub mackerel and striped mullet enter the set-net from 07:00 to 14:00 mainly. 2. From the result of analyzing relationships between entering time and tide, coral fish and horse mackerel tend to enter the set-net on turn of tidal current and ebb respectively. 3. The leaving rates of coral fish, flying fish, drub mackerel, and striped mullet from the set-net were 13%, 45%, 50%, and 100%, respectively but all horse mackerel remained in the net. 4. The swimming speed of coral fish, flying fish, horse mackerel and drub mackerel are 5~25cm/sec, 20~50cm/sec, 15~45cm/sec and 10~30cm/sec, respectively and their dominant speeds are 10~15cm/sec(55%), 30~35cm/sec(30%), 30~40cm/sec(60%), and 15~20cm/sec(60%), respectively.

Purpose: This study analyzed and compared the physico-chemical and affective properties between mackerels cooked by an electric pan and under superheated steam. Methods: Mackerel were cooked by an electric pan ($95^{\circ}C$) for 10 min and mackerel cooked under superheated steam ($250^{\circ}C$) for 5 min to be internal temperatures of $75{\pm}5^{\circ}C$ and tests to measure proximate composition, color values, texture profiles, microorganism counts and sensory acceptance were performed. Results: The moisture contents were 60.30% and 73.81% in mackerels cooked by electric pan and under superheated steam, respectively. The rate of weight loss in mackerel cooked by electric pan was 39%, whereas it was 29% in mackerel cooked under superheated steam. Mackerel cooked under superheated steam exhibited more yellowness, higher springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness, and resilience with more acceptable preferences (appearance, odor, taste, and texture) compared to the mackerel cooked by electric pan. Conclusion: The application of superheated steam technology to fish products could reduce the cooking time and nutritional loss. Also, it could produce highly preferred fish products compared to that prepared by conventional electric pan.

This study is aimed to estimate price interactions between wild caught fish and farmed fish on the Korean seafood market, using multivariate cointegration analysis. Major commercially important four wild caught fish (chub mackerel, hairtail, yellow croaker and spanish mackerel) and two farmed fish(oliver flounder and black rockfish) are selected as analytical target fish species. Between 2000 and 2013, monthly production and price data are used in this study. The results of cointegration test showed that there would be a long-term equilibrium relationship among 4 wild caught fish and 2 farmed fish. However, the results of exclusion test indicated that farmed fish might not contribute significantly to the long-run relationship, suggesting that farmed fish might be only a weak substitute for wild caught fish, but no significant interaction could be found.

In order to hold the behavior of fish school to the set-net, a series of tag-recapture experiments were carried out in two fishing grounds of the middle sized set-nets which were located in 20m depth on the coast of Keojedo and Namhaedo in the Southern part of Korea from September to October in 1996. In the experiments, the leading ability of the leader and the fish court and the recapturing ability of the bag nets were checked out for the six species of fish in method of discharging the tagged fishes at side points of leader, and the middle points of the fish court and the bag nets in a hauling step, and recapturing them at the bag nets in the next hauling. The results obtained are as follows; 1. The ratio recaptured at the both side bag-nets in the next hauling after discharged from the fish court in the previous step was 20.3% in small size of mackerel Scomber japonicus, 16.2% in small size of horse mackerel Trachurus japonicus, 10.3% in black sea-bream Acanthopagrus schlegelii, 19.1% in red barracuda Syhyraena pinguis, 16.3% in halfbeak Hemiramphus sajori, 20.0% in gizzard shad Konosirus punctatus individually, and totally in six species of fish, that was 17.2%. 2. The ratio recaptured at the same bag net after discharged in the both side bag-nets was 21.7% in small size of mackerel, 21.5% in small size of horse mackerel, 6.7% in black sea-bream, 17.8% in red barracuda, 16.8 in half-beak, 19.1% in gizzard shad individually, and totally in six species of fish, that was 18.8%. 3. The leading ratio from side points of the leader departed from door in 25m to fish court was 58.9% in small size of mackerel, 74.6% in small size of horse mackerel, 38.0% in black sea-bream, 54.7% in red barracuda, 58.6% in half-beak, 54.5% in gizzard shad individually, and totally in six species of fish, that was 57.8%. So it was assumed that the leader of set-net was very effective in leading to the swimming direction of small size of mackerel, small size of horse mackerel, red barracuda, half-beak and gizzard shad. 4. Red barracuda, half-beak and gizzard shad entered into bag net of upstream in large numbers than bag net of downstream, and small size of horse mackerel and black sea-bream entered into bag net of downstream in large numbers than bag net of upstream. 5. Small size of mackerel and small size of horse mackerel had high remaining rate in the bag net of downstream, and black sea-bream, red barracuda and half-beak had high remaining rate in the bag net of upstream.

An investigation evaluating the preparation and physicochemical properties of sauce with various herbs(sancho, sage, and rosemary) derived from soy sauce was performed. The effects of the different kinds of herbs added to sauce for roasted mackerel were assessed using physiochemical, sensory, flavor, and texture analysis properties. This fish was then compared to, fish with salt. The moisture, crude protein, crude fat, and crude ash content of the roasted mackerel were significantly higher than the control(p<0.05, p<0.001). The salinity content of the herb sauce added samples were significantly higher than the control(p<0.05). Conversely, the pH and peroxide value of the herb sauce added samples were significantly lower than the control(p<0.001). A positive trend was observed for color value with sancho added sauce(p<0.001). The another positive effects on the texture of fish was observed for texture analysis, adhesiveness, springiness, gumminess, and chewiness with herb sauce added samples(p<0.05). In the flavor profile, the fishy smell was disappeared and antifungal flavor was improved with herb added sauce. Flavor, taste, texture, and overall preference of herb sauce were significantly highest in sancho added sauce(p<0.05, p<0.001). Results suggest that the best herb sauce for roasted mackerel was sancho added sauce.
