RAPD analyses using 60 OPERON primers and 13 URPs were performed in order to assess the genetic variation and frequency of polymorphisms in Korean salmonids. RAPDS were very reproducible and most useful at the sub-species level. In RAPD analysis, 138 polymorphic bands were detected between Oncorhynchus masou subspecies and 99 bands were generated in two types of rainbow trout. Estimated genetic distances between O. masou subspecies were 0.28794, and between wild rainbow trout and an albino mutant was 0.22786. Each species of salmonid was well characterized using URP 4R, the obtained bands could be useful as a species specific RAPD markers.

Mariculture of rainbow trout Onchorhynchus mykiss has been initiated in or around olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus farms, where viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) is often detected in some fish. In the present study, we investigated VHSV infection in seawater-reared rainbow trout because VHSV has never been detected in salmonids in Korea. A total of 104 adult fish were tested for the presence of VHSV by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, followed by virus isolation with the fathead minnow caudal trunk cell line. Cytopathic effects were observed in two samples but the virus was identified as infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus. Thus, VHSV was not isolated from seawater-reared rainbow trout.

연어류의 종간교배 실험과 LDH, MDH, IDH, $\alpha$GODH, ME 등 다섯가지 isozyme에 대한 genetic marker로서의 활용 가능성을 알아보고자 1차적으로 연어, 산천어 및 무지개송어를 이용하여 종간교배를 실시하였고 이들 세종의 isozyme pattern을 비교하였다. 교배실험은 종간교배, 및 allotriploid 구간 등 12구간으로 나누어 실시하였으며 연어 암컷과 산천어 수컷의 교배결과가 초기성장 단계적에서 가장 우수하게 나타났고이들의 allotriploid도 부활율이 28.1%로 가장 우수하였다. Genetic identification을 위한 isozyme loci 분석결과 연어와 산천어는 대부분의 loci에서 거의 찾아볼 수 없었고 무지개송어는 MDH-B와 IDH에서 다형현상을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 MDH-B loci는 b 유전자의 출현 빈도에서 세 종간의 식별이 가능하였으며, IDH pattern을 산천어와 무지개송어의 비교에 유효한 것으로 나타났다. 이들 두 loci는 hybrid의 genotype 분석시 유용한 marker로 활용할 수 있는 가능성을 보였고, 앞으로의 어류 육종에 좋은 기초 자료로 이용될 것으로 사료된다.

Four strains of water mold, ChS-E0511, RaT-E0511, RaT-A0512 and MaS-F0512, were isolated from salmonid fish and/or their eggs taken from culture farms in Yangyang, Milyang and Pyeongchang, Korea in 2005. Descriptions of their morphological aspects, the results of the phylogenetic analysis conducted, and the sequence of the small sub-unit 18S rRNAs of the isolates confirmed that they all belong to the species Saprolegnia parasitica. Only one species, ChS-E0511, which was isolated from fertilized eggs of the chum salmon, was classified as part of the S. parasiticaGroup 1 according to its oogonia and gemmae production. The chemotherapeutic effects of various chemicals on the ChS-E0511 strain were assessed from the inhibitory effects of growth in GY media and the relative ratio of eyed eggs to fertilized eggs of the rainbow trout. Malchite green, a prohibited substance in food animals, was better than others, such as the Opuntia ficus-indicaextract, 2-bronopol, and sodium chloride. These results suggest that the fungi isolated from salmonids and/or their eggs identified as S. parasitica were composed of more than two groups. These isolates will be useful in an intensive evaluation of therapeutic agents.

The emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance in pathogenic bacteria of fish and shellfish have caused serious concerns in the aquaculture industry, owing to the potential health risks to humans and animals. Among these bacteria, Aeromonas salmonicida, which is one of the most important primary pathogens in salmonids, is responsible for significant economic losses in the global aquaculture industry, especially in salmonid farming because of its severe infectivity and acquisition of antimicrobial resistance. Therefore, interest in the use of alternative approaches to prevent and control A. salmonicida infections has increased in recent years, and several applications of bacteriophages (phages) have provided promising results. For several decades, A. salmonicida and phages infecting this fish pathogen have been thoroughly investigated in various research areas including aquaculture. The general overview of phage usage to control bacterial diseases in aquaculture, including the general advantages of this strategy, has been clearly described in previous reviews. Therefore, this review specifically focuses on providing insights into the phages infecting A. salmonicida, from basic research to biotechnological application in aquaculture, as well as recent advances in the study of A. salmonicida.

Infectious haematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) is an important fish pathogen that infects both wild and cultured salmonids. Since the first isolation of IHNV from rainbow trout and masu salmon in 1991, a series of IHN disease outbreak has been reported in Korea. In 2011, we isolated two IHNV isolates from rainbow trout cultured in Korea. The full open-reading frame (ORF) encoding the glycoprotein (G) of them were sequenced and the amino acid sequences were phylogenetically analyzed. Phylogenetic analysis of the G revealed that both IHNV isolates were grouped into an Asian genogroup containing Korean IHNV isolates and Japanese IHNV isolates. However, based on their sequence variation, they were divided into different subgroup. While one isolate was similar to other Korean isolates, the other isolate showed a high level of similarity with Japanese isolates, suggesting the possibility of influx of new IHNV strain into Korea.

Infection with salmonid alphavirus (SAV) is a serious disease that mainly affects rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) reared in seawater or freshwater. SAV is prevalent in European countries including Norway that exports rainbow trout and Atlantic salmon to Korea. Consequently, SAV was listed as a disease notifiable to the OIE and many salmonid-producing countries either designate SAV as their notifiable disease or do research on the development of diagnosis and epidemiology to reduce the possibility of SAV infection. Unlike other salmonid-producing countries, SAV is not listed as a notifiable disease in Korea, thereby arousing concern that SAV will get into the country through the importation of live salmonids. Under the circumstance, Korea needs to have a legal basis to take much stricter follow-up measures, including listing SAV as a notifiable disease, establishing surveillance system based on OIE standards to declare Korea free from SAV, killing infected fish and conducting fallow system against affected farms.

A global increase in fish consumption has led to a rapid expansion of aquaculture production, which has been linked to enhancing the spread of infectious diseases. Viral diseases can cause high mortality in many cultured fish species, posing a serious threat to the aquaculture industry. Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) is one of the primary threats to aquacultured salmonid species, causing huge economic losses. Since the first report in cultured sockeye salmon Oncorhynchus nerka during the 1950s in North America, IHNV has spread to other regions, including Europe, Asia, South America, and Africa by transportation of infected fish and eggs, causing disease and increasing mortality in a wide variety of salmonid species. Here, we review existing information relevant to IHNV: its phylogenetic characteristics, origin, infection history, virulence determinants, susceptible hosts, vectors, and vaccine development. This review also addresses a possible cross-species transmission of IHNV to a new host, olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus, a cultured fish of economic importance in East Asian countries.
