흰반점바이러스(WSSV)는 새우양식산업에 막대한 경제적 손실을 일으키는 가장 치명적인 바이러스성 질병 원인체 중 하나이다. 본 연구는 인위적인 실험모델로서 WSSV에 대한 자주새우(Crangon affinis)의 감수성을 확인하고자 실험을 수행하였다. WSSV가 희석된 수조 내에서 침지법으로 감염된 새우는 감염 후 7일째에 100% 누적폐사율을 보여 자주새우가 WSSV에 대해 매우 높은 감수성을 갖고 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 재조합단백질인 rVP466에 대한 항혈청의 중화효과를 확인하기 위해 항혈청과 반응시킨 바이러스액($1{\times}10^4$ 배로 희석된 WSSV)을 이용하여 침지법으로 자주새우에 대해 공격실험(challenge test)을 수행하였다. 실험 결과, WSSV로 challenge한 감염대조구(positive control)의 새우들은 감염 후 5일째에 100% 폐사하였으며, WSSV와 rVP466 항혈청을 1:0.01, 1:0.1, 1:1로 혼합한 액으로 challenge한 새우들은 감염 후 14일째에 각각 100%, 68.8%, 68.8%의 누적폐사율을 보였다. 따라서 본 연구 결과는 연안서식종인 자주새우가 양식장으로부터 배출된 WSSV에 의해 자연상태에서 감염 될 수 있는 가능성과 함께 항혈청에 대한 중화효과를 나타냄으로써 겨울철 저수온기에 WSSV 감염을 위한 대체 실험생물로서의 유용성을 확인하였다.

Shrimps infected with WSSV(White Spot Syndrome Virus) generally exhibit white spots in their inner space of carapaces as an acute clinical sign. In an effort to identify the correlation between this acute clinical sign and the condition, the index factors (RNA/DNA concentration and ratio, trypsin activity) were analyzed. A total 580 farmed Fenneropenaeus chinensis and 130 Lithopenaeus vannamei were collected from western and southern fifteen outdoor ponds in Korea. The status of the white spot pathology was divided into four stages (stage 0, stage I, stage II, and stage III), in accordance with the clinical signs as to the size and area of white spots. A significant decrease in RNA concentration and RNA/DNA ratio for multi-infected fleshy prawn (WSSV and vibrio sp.) occurred during the stage III (the whole carapace is covered with a white spot). In particular, RNA/DNA ratio was significantly lower as $1.47{\pm}0.04$ than other groups. A similar trend was also found in the single infection (WSSV), but the decrease was less than the multi-infection. In the species comparison, both species were vulnerable to the multi-infection, but L. vannamei was more sensitive than F. chinensis(ANOVA, p<0.05): A significant decrease in RNA concentration and RNA/DNA ratio was first found in stage II for the former species, while it was found in stage III for the latter species. Trypsin activity was also showed a similar tendency with nucleic acid variation. Multi-infected shrimp showed drastically decrease of trypsin activity. According to the results, clinical signs of the white spot under carapace have an only physiological effect on shrimp if they covered entirely with white spots.

Species composition and seasonal variation of decapod crustacean assemblage in Hampyeong Bay, Korea were examined. Sampling was monthly made by a shrimp trawl between March 2003 to February 2004. A total of 39 species of 20 families were collected. Of these, Latreutes planirostris, Palaemon gravieri, Parapenaeopsis tenella, Exopalaemon carinicauda, Charybdis japonica, Trachysalambria curvirostris and Palaemon macrodactylus were dominant species comprising $84.3\%$ of the total number of individuals. Charybdis japonica, P. gravieri, Oratosquilla oratoria, E. carinicauda, T curvirostris, Metapenaeus joyneri and P. tenella represented $90.6\%$ of the total biomass. While total abundance (number of individuals) was high in spring, total biomass and species richness (number of species) and diversity were high in summer. Cluster analysis, based on monthly abundance data of the 14 most common species, showed that the species were separated into three different groups. Group A composed of Leptochela gracilis, Alpheus japonicus, Crangon uritai, P. macrodactylus, E. carinicauda, P. gravieri, O. oratoria, C. japonica, which were year round residents, group B M. joyneri, T. curvirostris and P. tenella, which were abundant in summer, and group C Crangon hakodatei, Latreutes anoplonyx and L. planirostris, which were abundant in winter. Principal component analysis revealed that seasonal variation in the decapod crustacean assemblage was attributed to the abundance of temporal species such as penaeid shrimps, which were abundant in summer, due to seasonal variation of water temperature and reproductive pattern.
