Data obtained from field observation revealed that the degree of shell bioerosion of the scallop, Patinopecten (Mizuhopecten) yessoensis, by endolithic organisms significantly higher on the muddy sand than on the sand. At the area studied, the polychaete worm, Polydora brevipalpa (=Polydora ciliata brevipalpa, Polydora ciliata Okuda, Not Johnston, Polydora variegata), which is common symbiotic species for the scallop made 95-100% of total scallop shell bioerosion at the area studied. The muddy bottom sediments enriched by organic matter create favourable conditions for development of microphytobenthos and bacteria, which are predominantly consumed by P. brevipalpa. Linear regressions for the degree of shell bioerosion on the scallop shell height, total wet weight and adductor muscle wet weight revealed negative relationships between them for the scallops inhabiting both sand and muddy sand. The influence of polychaetes on scallops is complex. They may be food competitors. Polychaete can directly affect the host through their boreholes. Scallop expends energy for shell regeneration to prevent the polychaete penetration into its interior cavity. It was found that the degree of shell bioerosion increased considerably with scallop age.

The purpose of this study was to determine changes in the growth rates and the degree of shell bioerosion exhibited by endolithic organisms of the Japanese scallop family, Patinopecten (Mizuhopecten) yessoensis, on the coast of Furugelm Island (Peter the Great Bay, northwest of East Sea = Sea of Japan) over the last three decades. The areas studied are affected by lumen (Tumangang) River run-off, which is enriched by organic matter and polluting agents. It was found that the linear growth rates of the Japanese scallops living along the coasts of Furugelm Island have decreased over the last three decades. The degree of bioerosion of scallop shells has significantly increased for the same period. These phenomena may be explained by a gradual increase in bottom sediment silting, organic enrichment and pollution of the areas being studied. It was found that the degree of scallop shell bioerosion increased with the scallop's age. At present, In each age group, the shells of the scallops sampled from the muddy sand showed greater erosion than the shells of individuals collected from the sandy substrate.

Aragonite type of precipitated calcium carbonate was synthesized by the successive reaction with hybridization of waste scallop shells with limestone. In the first step, carbonation was performed by using calcined limestone with low brightness, followed by the additional carbonation using calcined-hydrous scallop shells with high brightness. The temperature and the amount ratio of calcined limestone to calcined-hydrous scallop shells were examined as parameters in the experimental conditions. The products were characterized by XRD, SEM. in addition to measurements of brightness index. the specific surface area, and bulk density. The amount ratio of limestone to scallop shell affected not only the brightness but also morphologies of products. The increase in relative amounts of limestone leads to decrease in brightness and bumpy surface of particles. High temperature reaction produces aragonite particles with longer sizes and higher bulk densities. This study has made an attempt to establish the synthesis of aragonite with high brightness and high strength by utilization of waste scallop shells.

In this study, the removal efficiencies of heavy metals were evaluated using cockle, abalone, and scallop shells. Cockle, abalone, and scallop are composed mainly of aragonite, aragonite, and calcite, and calcite, respectively. The specific surface area of each shell varies from 2.7241 m²/g to 4.5481 m²/g and the order of that is scallop > abalone > cockle. All shells of cockle, abalone, and scallop had no As removal effect by adsorption and precipitation as pH increased. Pb was removed by all shell samples at initial reaction. Although the removal efficiency of Cd and Zn were depending on the reaction medium, that was increased in order of scallop > abalone > cockle. Heavy metal removal efficiency tends to be slightly higher for heated samples than with the raw materials, and higher as the specific surface area is larger.

Although the removal efficiency of residual pesticides using tap water were ranged from -1.25 to $13.27\%$, the removal efficiencies of residual pesticides using both powder CaO and liquid CaO were $5.16\~l7.61,\;8.7\~41.59\%$, respectively. And those results showed much higher residual effect of the CaO washing than tap water washing. Natural CaO made by burning of scallop-shell considered to be a good reducing agent for pesticides. Furthermore, liquid CaO showed much higher removal efficiency than powder CaO. However, powder CaO also can be used as a good natural eliminator of pesticides in Mini-Tomato.

We studied that the effect of stocking density on growth and survival rate of the scallop, Chlamys farreri (initial shell height 32.97 mm and total weight 5.63 g) from June 2002 to October 2003 in the west coast of Korea. C. farreri is usually the west coast of Korea and northern China in the natural habitat of the coastal species. Range of surface water temperature in the study area was $4.3^{\circ}C$ to $25.3^{\circ}C$, salinity 29.2 psu to 32.1 psu, dissolved oxygen 5.32 mg/L to 7.51 mg/L and pH was 7.84 to 8.12, respectively. The stocking densities were 20, 30, 40 and 50 individuals per a compartment of suspension cage in culture beginning. After 16 months from initiation, ranges of shell height and mean total weight were from 64.35 mm to 76.23 mm and from 41.53 g to 64.85 g. The survival rate was from 82% to 100%. The growth rate of the scallop was negatively correlated with the stocking density. The growth of the shell height and total weight were decreased with decreasing of water temperature. Most of mortality of scallop occurred during March to April and September to October. Survival rate in the stocking density was decreased by density increase and was highest in 20 individual a compartment.

In this study, we evaluated bacteriocidal effect of CaO (scallop shell powder) for the reduction of microorganism in lettuce, and compared with main chemical sanitizers such as chlorine, ethanol, hydrogen peroxide. As a result, the effectiveness of CaO showed dramatic reduction rate for total aerobic bacteria, Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella Typhimurium and were $5.9{\times}10^3,\;1.3{\times}10^5,\;5.9{\times}10^3,\;2.7{\times}10^6,\;3.6{\times}10^3,\;4.5{\times}10^3\;and\;2.6{\times}10^4$, respectively. CaO did not show better disinfecting efficiency than chlorine or hydrogen peroxide which were used as sanitizer. In Bacillus cereus case, it showed $10^6$ reduction rate, and were $10^2{\sim}10^5$ times better reduction than ethanol sanitizer. According to these results, CaO can alternate the currently used chemical sanitizers due to its natural origin as well as the effectiveness for sterilization.

The genetic relationship was examined with PCR-RAPD markers among three scallop species, Chlamys farreri farreri, Patinopecten yessoensis, and Agropecten irradians. Six primers were selected from 60 primers used to compare PCR-RAPD profiles among species. All primers showed distinct RAPD band patterns between the three species. In Chiamys farreri farreri, the morphological characteristics such as shell size and color were considerably different between the two geographical populations. RAPD profile, however, showed that no significant genetic differences were found between the two geographical populations. Polymorphic alleles were observed within a population of each species. Thus, PCR-RAPD markers are useful in identifying scallop species and in understanding scallop population genetic structure.

A comparative study on the effect of rearing depths at 2 (surface) and 5 (bottom) m on growth of the scallop was undertaken in Nam-myeon coastal area during June to December, 1997. There were very little difference in the levels of temperature (12.2 ~24.5$^{\circ}C$), salinity (27.3 ~33.1$\textperthousand) and dissolved oxygen (>7.05 mg/l) at a given month. But the chlorophyll level fluctuated between 1.2 and 11.0 $\mu g/l$ at the surface but below 2 $\mu g/l$ at the bosom. Highest phytoplankton density occurred in August and Ceratium dominated it during the period from June to October. Mean growth of the bay scallop at surface and bottom for the six months rearing period was as follows; 0.19 and 0.16 mm/day for shell height, and 0.16 and 0.12 g/day for total weight. Maximum predicted values of shell height calculated by von Bertalanffy growth model were 52.62 mm for the surface and 46.73 mm for the bottom reared scallop. Survival of the scallop was higher (80 %) for the surface group than that at the bottom (60%).
