The present paper deals with mortality and pathogenetic investigation of the oysters Crassostrea gigas cultured by tile coventional bamboo and hanging method in Kimhae and Koje-Do in 1969. The results of the investigation may be summarized as follows: 1. Mortality of the oysters by the bamboo method in Kimhae was $9.5\%$ in June, $10.2\%$ In July, $12.3\%$ in August and $12.1\%$ in September, respectively, 2. Mortality of the oysters cultured by the hanging method in Koje-Do was $2.4\%$ in June, $2.9\%$ in July, $30.7\%$ in October, $37.3\%$ in November and $30.0\%$ in December, respectively 3. The diseased oysters had severe inflammation, necrosis and multiple abscess in the epithelia of stomach, mid-gut, digestive tubules, blood vessels and gonads, mucous membrane and surrounding tissue. 4. From August gram negative bacteria were found in the nodules of connective tissue and multiple abscess of the diseased oysters. Particularly the connective tissue of the diseased oysters contained more bacteria than epithelia. 5. Since the bacteria are less abundant in the region of digenerated tissue, mortality of the oysters is not caused only by the infectious bacteria but seems that is also caused by other environmental factors such as extreme temperatures and salinities.

We examined chemical changes in oysters Crassostrea gigas and packing water that were sold after storage at 5, 10, and $20^{\circ}C$. The pH of oysters stored at $5^{\circ}C$ dropped to 5.81 after 10 days of storage, while that of oysters at $10^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$ dropped to 5.37 after 8 days and to 5.04 after 4 days, respectively. The glycogen content of oysters stored at $5^{\circ}C$ decreased from 718.89 to 421.85 mg/100g during storage, while that of oysters at $10^{\circ}C$ decreased to 351.49 mg/100 g after 4 days. The turbidity and soluble protein in packing water increased slightly. The viable cell count of oysters did not exceed 6 log CFU/g after 10 days of storage at $5^{\circ}C$, but that of oysters at $10^{\circ}C$ did so after 8 days. Additionally, the viable cell count of packing water was lower than that of oysters. We performed a principal component analysis, where the first principal component (55.03%-57.24%) and second principal component (42.76%-44.97%) described most variation. The first principal component included the pH of oysters and packing water, and the glycogen content of oysters. A Pearson correlation between the first two principal components had a higher R value than that between other components. Freshness was evaluated using the pH of oysters and packing water, and glycogen. We found that soluble protein content was significantly associated with a lower pH and glycogen content.

굴의 육중량 변화는 수온과 chlorophyll에 의해 지배되지만, chlorophyll 양이 일정량 이상이 되면 이러한 경향은 다소 감소하였다. 수온에 따른 굴의 성장은 수온 하강 초기에는 강한 역상관 관계를 나타내었지만, 적정 수온이하로 하강하게 되면 상관관계가 다소 낮아졌다. 각 수하시기에 따른 육중량 성장식을 6월은 3차 방정식의 성장곡선이 나타났고, 7, 8월에 수하한 경우 지수형 곡선을 나타내었다. 그러나 9-11월의 경우 정량적인 성장을 하는 일차방정식의 성장패턴을 나타내었다. 성장 방정식으로부터 각 수하시기에 따라 목표중량 5 g까지 성장하는데 소요되는 기간을 계산하면 9월이 123일로 가장 성장이 빨랐고, 8월이 220일로 가장 오랜 기간이 소요되었다. 굴 종패의 수하적기는 수온상승기 말기부터 수온하강기 초기인 8월말부터 9월 중순 사이가 적당한 시기로 추정되고, 상품크기 5 g까지 성장하는데 평균 4-5개월이 소요되며, 이 시기는 12-1월경에 해당한다.

The triploid Pacific oyster, which is produced by mating tetraploid and diploid oysters, is favored by the aquaculture industry because of its better flavor and firmer texture, particularly during the summer. However, tetraploid oyster production is not feasible in all oysters; the development of tetraploid oysters is ongoing in some oyster species. Thus, a method for ploidy verification is necessary for this endeavor, in addition to ploidy verification in aquaculture farms and in the natural environment. In this study, a method for ploidy verification of triploid and diploid oysters was developed using multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) panels containing primers for molecular microsatellite markers. Two microsatellite multiplex PCR panels consisting of three markers each were developed using previously developed microsatellite markers that were optimized for performance. Both panels were able to verify the ploidy levels of 30 triploid oysters with 100% accuracy, illustrating the utility of microsatellite markers as a tool for verifying the ploidy of individual oysters.

참굴(Crassostrea gigas) 수하식양식에 있어 상층과 저층 그리고 조석에 따른 해수 및 굴의 위생학적 성상에 관한 변화를 조사하였으며 본 연구는 미국국제연맹처(AID) 연수계획에 의하여 Washington주 Burley Lagoon 뗏목 수하식 양식장에 대하여 실시되었다. 해수의 수온, 염분 및 탁도는 저층이 상층보다 다소 높았고 그 차이는 수온 $0.3^{\circ}C$, 염분 $0.5\%_{\circ}$, 탁도 0.1 JTU 있다. 조석에 따를 수온 및 염분의 변화는 대체로 조석 주기에 일치하는 기복상을 보였다. 해수의 위생지표미생물 함양은 상층이 저층보다 대체로 높았고 일반적으로 Coliform MPN 및 Fecal coliform MPN의 변화는 조고에 역비례하고 있어 이들 미생물군의 출처는 이 해역으로 유입하는 하천임을 알 수 있다. $35^{\circ}C$ Plate count는 조석 변동에 대하며 보다 안정하였다. 굴에 있어 Coliform 및 Fecal coliform MPN의 평균치는 상층굴이 저층보다 일반적으로 높은 값을 시현하였으나 $35^{\circ}C$ Plate count는 이와 같은 경향을 나타내지 않았다. 해수에서와 같이 굴에 있어서도 Coliform 및 Fecal coliform MPN의 평균치는 양자 모두 호고에 역상관관계를 나타내었고 조사기관중 굴의 세균축적비는 Coliform MPN은 $8.6\~19.7$, Fecal coliform MPN은 $16.9\~44.3$이였다. 이상의 결과로서 굴수하식 양식에 있어 패류위생관리상 중요한 것은 창호시에 굴을 채취하는 것이 미생 지표 세균의 함량이 보다 낮다는 것을 들 수 있다.

To identify the food component characteristics of seven oysters(four cultured oysters and two wild oysters Crassostrea gigas and one dendely lamellated oyster Ostrea denselamellos Korean name beotgul) in Korea, the proximate, fatty/amino acid, mineral compositions, texture, color, chemical and taste compounds were investigated. The proximate compositions were not significantly different between cultured and wild oysters, whereas beotgul had lower levels of crude protein, ash and lipid content, and a higher carbohydrate content. The amino nitrogen contents of the three main types were 232.8-258.2, 160.5-213.9, and 218.5 mg/100 g, respectively, and the salinities were 1.5-1.7, 1.5-1.8, and 0.9%, respectively. Regarding the muscle texture, the shearing forces were 95-114, 105-132, and 170 g, respectively. Amounts of total amino acids of cultured, wild oysters and beotgul were 9,004-10,198, 8,165-8,942, and 7,767 mg/100 g, respectively. The major amino acids were aspartic acid (Asx), glutamic acid (Glx), proline, alanine, leucine, phenylalanine, lysine and arginine. Regarding inorganic ions, beotgul had much lower Fe and S contents than the cultured and wild oysters. The major fatty acids of cultured and wild oysters were 16:0, 18:0, 16:1n-9, 18:1n-9, 22:1n-9, 16:4n-3, 20:5n-3, and 22:6n-3, and there was little difference between the two. Beotgul had a higher polyenes ratio, i.e., 20:5n-3, and a lower monoenes ratio than the cultured and wild oysters. The free amino acid contents of cultured, wild oysters and beotgul extracts were 1,444-1,620, 1,017-1,277, and 1,144 mg/100 g, respectively, and the major free amino acids were taurine, glutamic acid, glycine, alanine, tryptophan, ornithine, and lysine. There was a little difference in the glycine, tryptophan, ornithine, and arginine contents.

Background: Ingestion of $^{210}Po$ laden seafood accounts for a substantial amount of the effective dose of $^{210}Po$. Among seafood items, mollusks, especially domestically produced oysters and mussels, are highly enriched in $^{210}Po$ and are consumed in large quantities in Korea. Materials and Methods: Oysters and mussels around the Korean coasts were collected from major farm areas in November 2013. Samples were spiked with an aliquot of $^{209}Po$ as a yield tracer, and they were digested with $6mol{\cdot}L^{-1}$ $HNO_3$ and $H_2O_2$. The $^{210}Po$ and $^{209}Po$ were spontaneously deposited onto a silver disc in an acidic solution of $0.5mol{\cdot}L^{-1}$ HCl and measured using an alpha spectrometer. The activity concentrations of $^{210}Pb$ and $^{210}Po$ were decay corrected to the sampling date, accounting for the possible in-growth and decay of $^{210}Po$. Results and Discussion: $^{210}Po$ activity concentrations in oysters were in a range from 41.3 to $206Bq{\cdot}(kg-ww)^{-1}$ and mussels in a range from 42.9 to $46.7Bq{\cdot}(kg-ww)^{-1}$. The $^{210}Po$ activity concentration of oysters in the turbid Western coast was higher than the Southern coast. The $^{210}Po$ activity concentration of the oysters was positively correlated ($R^2=0.89$) with those of the suspended particulate matter in the surface water. The calculated annual effective dose of $^{210}Po$ from oysters and mussels consumed by the Korean population was 21-104 and $5.01-5.46{\mu}Sv{\cdot}y^{-1}$. The combined effective dose due to the consumption of oysters and mussels appears to account for about $35{\pm}19%$ of that arising from seafood consumption in the Korean population. Conclusion: The annual effective dose of $^{210}Po$ for oysters in the Korean population was found to be higher than other countries. The total annual effective dose of $^{210}Po$ due to consumption of oysters and mussels consumed in Korea was found to be $76{\pm}42{\mu}Sv{\cdot}y^{-1}$, accounting for $28{\pm}16%$ of the total effective dose of $^{210}Po$ from food in Korea.

A significant production decrease has been witnessed for the Pacific oysters, Crassostrea gigas farmed in the western coastal waters of Korea, presumably by the loss of physiological viability. We evaluated the viability in terms of health indicators, the condition indices and hemocyte apoptosis rates of the oysters inhabiting two representative farming sites, Incheon and Taean each with different environmental variables. In our monthly measurements for the whole year 2013, the indicators were location specific. The condition indices of Incheon were highly variable, 1.67-8.58%, while those of Taean were less, 2.28-5.57%. The condition indices decreased during the spawning seasons, July and September in common. The two oysters exhibited also differed in the apoptotic activities of hemocyte, highly active, 4.03-30.15% for Incheon oysters and less active, 2.87-17.48% for Taean oysters. One thing we could identify was the two measurements were adverse during the critical seasons of spawning, reminiscent of being a useful tool for a health indicator for the oysters. Similar trend was also observed in the time when change in temperature was extreme. The findings in this study are highly indicative of health indicators for the oyster aquaculture.

In order to assess changes in the activity of immunecompetency present in Crassostrea gigas infected with Marteilioides chungmuensis (Protozoa), the total hemocyte counts (THC), hemocyte populations, hemocyte viability, and phagocytosis rate were measured in oysters using flow cytometry. THC were increased significantly in oysters infected with M. chungmuensis relative to the healthy appearing oysters (HAO) (P<0.05). Among the total hemocyte composition, granulocyte levels were significantly increased in infected oysters as compared with HAO (P<0.05). In addition, the hyalinocyte was reduced significantly (P<0.05). The hemocyte viability did not differ between infected oysters and HAO. However, the phagocytosis rate was significantly higher in infected oysters relative to HAO (P<0.05). The measurement of alterations in the activity of immunecompetency in oysters, which was conducted via flow cytometry in this study, might be a useful biomarker of the defense system for evaluating the effects of ovarian parasites of C. gigas.
