Artemia often observed as a co-existing organism in the mass culture tank of marine rotifer. The rotifer and Atremia are commonly used as food organisms in the marine fish larvae rearing. In this study, interspecific relation between the rotifer Brachionus rotundiformis (formely called S-type) and anostracan Artemia of the two developmental stages (0 and 19 day old after hatching) were investigated in the larboratory. The population growth of B. rotundiformis and one of the stage (nauplius or adult) of Artemia in mixed culture was compared with that of each single species culture. Culture period was 16 days. Every two days, the number of organisms in each species was counted and transferred to a fresh medium containing $7{\times}10^5$cells/ml of food Nannochloropsis oculata. Culture volume, temperature, salinity and photoperiod were set at 40ml, $25^{\circ}C.$, 22ppt and 24h all dark except to observation time, respectively. The rotifer population growth was greatly decreased by co-existence with Artemia. The coexisting Artemia suppressed the rotifer population growth due to it's high filtering speed for food (N. oculata). This study suggested that contamination by Artemia must be prevented for the stable rotifer production in the rotifer mass culture tank.

Energy budget of mysid shrimp, Neomysis intermedia in Lake Kyongpo was determined at constant temperature (2$0^{\circ}C$). Energy used by reared mysids were calculated from data on feeding, growth, molting, reproduction, and metabolism. The Energy used by growth of juvenile and adult were 6.87 cal in females of 8.55mm in length, and 5.67 cal in males of 7.53mm in length, respectively. Molting losses were estimated to be 0.46 cal in females and 0.38 cal in males from juvenile to adult. Energy used in respiration were estimated to be 48.48 cal in females and 36.45 cal in males from juvenile to adult. The energy intakes from feeding were 84.15 cal in females and 67.09 cal in males from juvenile to adult. Energy losses by excretion were 10.36 cal in females and 6.46 cal in males. Thus, females assimilated 86.65% and males 81.99% of assimilated energy in somatic growth. The gross growth efficiencies (k1) showed 8.71% for females and 9.02% for males and the net growth efficiencies (k2) showed 10.05% for females and 12.36% for males. Maintenance costs were estimated at 66.48% of assimilated energy in females and 66.26% in males. Molting losses among the energy assimilated from juvenile to adult were estimated to be 0.63% in males and 0.69% in females.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the adaptability to tooth structure of composite resin and glass ionomer cement according to filling methods. In this study. two class V cavities were prepared on the buccal and lingual surface of each tooth of forty extracted human premolars. and they were randomly assigned into 4 groups with 10 teeth. The cavities of each group were filled with the CLEARFIL FII self curing resin(Control Group), Z-100 light curing resin (Group 1). $Vitremer^{TM}$ light curing glass ionomer cement(Group 2) and Z-100 light curing resin over the $Vitremer^{TM}$ liner(Group 3). The specimens underwent temperature changed from $5^{\circ}C$ to $55^{\circ}C$ five hundred times. After thermocycling. specimens were immersed in 2% methylene blue solution and stored in 100% relative humidity at $37^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. And then. the specimens sectioned buccolingually. Degree of dye penetration at tooth-restoration interfaces were examined by Tool maker's microscope(x 200) and Image analyzer. The results were as follows : 1. On the occlusal margin. among the experimental groups. the group 2 showed the highest dye penetration($2.40{\pm}0.68$) and the group 3 showed the lowest dye penetration($1.15{\pm}0.37$). There was significant difference among the experimental groups(p<0.001). 2. On the gingival margin, among the experimental groups, the group 1 showed the highest dye penetration($3.30{\pm}0.57$) and the group 2 showed the lowest dye penetration($1.65{\pm}0.49$). There was significant difference among the experimental groups(p>0.001). 3. About total degree of dye penetration, the group 1 showed the highest dye penetration($2.25{\pm}1.17$) and the group 3 showed the lowest dye penetration ($1.43{\pm}0.55$). There was significant difference among the experimental groups(p<0.001). 4. The sum of dye penetration at occlusal margin was less than gingival margin. There was significant difference between occlusal margin and gingival margin (p<0.001). The results showed that differences were more pronounced at the gingival margin. Composite restorations inserted over the glass-ionomer liner demonstrated significantly less leakage than single restoration that used composite resin or glass-ionomer cement.

Change point analysis is a efficient tool to understand the fundamental information in hydro-meteorological data such as rainfall, discharge, temperature etc. Especially, this fundamental information to change points to future rainfall data identified by reasonable detection skills can affect the prediction of flood and drought occurrence because well detected change points provide a key to resolve the non-stationary or inhomogeneous problem by climate change. Therefore, in this study, the comparative study to assess the performance of the 3 change point detection skills, cumulative sum (CUSUM) method, Bayesian change point (BCP) method, and segmentation by dynamic programming (DP) was performed. After assessment of the performance of the proposed detection skills using the 3 types of the synthetic series, the 2 reasonable detection skills were applied to the observed and future rainfall data at the 5 rainfall gauges in South Korea. Finally, it was suggested that BCP (with 0.9 posterior probability) could be best detection skill and DP could be reasonably recommended through the comparative study. Also it was suggested that BCP (with 0.9 posterior probability) and DP detection skills to find some change points could be reasonable at the North-eastern part in South Korea. In future, the results in this study can be efficiently used to resolve the non-stationary problems in hydrological modeling considering inhomogeneity or nonstationarity.

Age, annual growth pattern, and other ecologically important observations are reporting from the analysis of annual growth annuli of the sun and moon scallop, Amusium japonicum. Field survey made from 1993 to 1994 indicated that the sun and moon scallops are mostly distributed along the southern coast of Cheju-do, especially around the Sogwipo area. They inhabit on muddy sand bottom, at depth between 30 and 40 m where water temperature varies from 14 to $23^{\circ}C$ annually. The gonadal analysis indicated that the spawning mostly occurs during October and December and they exhibit multiple spawning peaks. The formation of annual growth annuli was found to be related with their spawning period. The shell growth on A. japonium japonicum appeared that their shell growth rate is comparatively faster than that of other scallops : 1. japonium japonicum reaches 6.28 cm in shell hight at the first year and 9.07 cm at the second year. The growth rate of gonadal somatic tissue was also found to be faster than growth rates of other scallops. One year old scallops weigh about 18.8 g, two and three year old scallops weigh 60 and 102.4 g. Based upon these observations, it is concluded that A. japonium japonicum can be a valuable species for aquaculture development due to their rapid growth.

Blue devil (Pomacentrus caeruleus, also called Chrysiptera cyanea) is widespread in the Indo-Pacific Ocean and very popular all over the world as an aquarium fish because it is so easy to keep in a marine aquarium. However, tank-breeding techniques are not completely known. In this study, we reared blue devil and investigated its spawning ecology, as a necessary precursor for successful artificial-tank breeding. We investigated the spawning volume according to time with two types of calendars: solar and lunar. Rearing conditions were set at 30 ppt salinity, $27^{\circ}C$ water temperature, in two aquariums with water volumes of 80 and 125 L. We successfully bred P. caeruleus in this artificial-tank system. The aquarium fish formed a spawning harem with one male and more than two females. We harvested about 113,580 eggs in 44 spawning episodes by two spawning harems during the 11-month period from December to October. They showed a peak season of spawning volume and time in May and June. We confirmed the two peak points in spawning volumes and times, which coincided with the first quarter and last (third) quarter of the lunar phases of the moon.

In order to effectively utilize marine animal skin wastes in marine processing manufacture, conger eel skin, file fish skin and arrow squid skin as raw material of edible gelatin were screened. Conger eel skin was the highest in the collagen content, followed by Ole fish skin and arrow squid skin, in the order named. In the fish skins, the soluble and insoluble collagens occupied $67.4%{\sim}72.3%\;and\;27.7{\sim}32.6%$, respectively, and in the arrow squid skin, 30.4ft and 69.6ft, respectively. No difference in the amino acid composition between soluble and insoluble collagens was detected. Collagen from the marine animal skin catched in coasted and offshore water in Korea consisted ${\alpha}$ chain and ${\beta}$ chain, and ${\alpha}$ chain were hetero type. The sum of proline and hydroxyproline contents in conger eel skin collagen was higher than that in the other skin collagens, while was lower than that pork skin collagen. Conger eel skin collagen exhibited a higher denaturation temperature in solution and a higher degree of proline hydroxylation, compared with skin collagen of the respective species. The physical properties such as gel strength, melting point and gelling point of conger eel skin gelatin were superior to those of file fish skin and arrow squid skin gelatins.

This study analyzed the groundwater quality according to the depth and geological features in Gyeongsangnam-do area using groundwater quality monitoring network data to grasp the groundwater quality characteristics and to provide basic data for policy making on efficient groundwater management. Five hundred and three data sets were acquired from background water quality exclusive monitoring network in soil groundwater information system for five years (2013 ~ 2017). Except for the total coliforms and tracer items such as mercury, phenol, and others, the parameters of water quality were significant or very significant, depending on depth and geological features. As the depth got deeper, the average value of pH and electrical conductivity increased; water temperature, dissolved oxygen, oxide reduction potential, arsenic, total coliforms, and turbidity decreased; and total unfit rate for drinking water standards was lower. It was found that the sum of the positive and negative ions was the highest in the clastic sedimentary rock and the lowest in metamorphic rock. The total unfit rate for drinking water standards was the highest for metamorphic rocks, followed by clastic sedimentary rock and unconsolidated sediments and, finally, intrusive igneous rock with the lowest penetration. The Na-Cl water type, which indicated the possibility of contamination by external pollutants, appeared only at some points in shallow depths and in clastic sedimentary rocks.

This study investigates the heat mitigation effects and thermal comfort improvement due to urban parks during summer. Self-developed monitoring devices to measure long-term microclimate data were installed in three spots, including the park plaza, waterside, and roadside in Seoul Forest Park, and measurements were taken from July 9 to July 30. The results of the measurement are as follows. The daily temperature of the park plaza and waterside were found to be 2.7℃ and 2.9℃ lower than the roadside and 5.5℃ and 7.4℃ lower than the roadside from 10:00 to 16:00. In addition, the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) measurement was applied to measure the thermal comfort at each point. In the average daily analysis, a significant difference was found between the park plaza, the waterside, and the roadside, and a greater difference was found between 10:00 to 16:00. Also, although there was no significant difference due to the weather condition, a statistically significant difference was also found in the average PM₁₀ and CO₂ concentrations. It is found to be higher in the order from the roadside, park plaza, and waterside for PM₁₀ concentration and park plaza, roadside, and waterside for CO₂. In sum, although the difference in measured microclimate data and thermal comfort index results were different depending on the time and weather conditions at the three points, the park plaza and waterside, which are located inside the park, showed improved thermal comfort conditions and lower temperatures than the roadside outside the park.

Fertilization and early development of turbo cornutus was studied based on the samples which were collected in Yeosu area. Particular emphasis was paid on induction of artificial spawing, fertilization rate, preembryonic development, the growth of the early larva and larval survival to various salinity. Among the various methods for induction of artificial spawning which have been tested for the present study, drying by exposure to air is the. most efficient, and percentage fertilization rate was $83.8-96.4\%$. The diameter of fertilized eggs was $0.182{\pm}0.0028mm$; and the diameter of egg membrane was $0.245{\pm}0.093mm$. Under the temperature range of $20.6-25.4^{\circ}C$ the larvae hatched out after 11:05-11:15 hours of fertilization. After 3.0-3.5 days of fertilization the planktonic larvae begand to settle, and the settlement terminated within 5 days. During the period of 150 days of early culturing the diameter growth of shell(M) and the diameter of shell aperture(A) was formulated as follows: $$1972\;M=0.33e^{0.02070D}$$ $$A=0.19e^{0.02282D}$$ $$1973\;M=0.32e^{0.02282D}$$ $$A=0.16e^{0.02596D}$$ During the same period of early culturing the relative growth of shell diameter and the diameter of shell aperture was formulated as follows : 1972 A=0.6478 S-0.1575 1973 A=0.5897 S-0.0515 After 11 days of larval hatching $0.02-0.18\%$ of planktonic larvae settled. After 150 days of settlement the survival rate of the early shells was $7.4-21.6\%$. Under the temperature range of $21.0-22.7^{\circ}C$ the optimum salinity range for the development of egg and the planktonic larvae was $30-35\%_{\circ}$.
