An experiment of one-year duration was conducted on sixteen adult male German Angora rabbits under sub-temperate Himalayan conditions, to assess the effect of seasons on their body weight, wool production and quality, plane of nutrition and the digestibilities of nutrients. The daily meteorological attribute viz. minimum and maximum temperature; relative humidity and rainfall were recorded during winter (October to March), summer (April to June) and rainy (July to September) seasons. Biological parameters viz. body weight at the time of shearing, wool yield of individual rabbit, quality attributes of wool, fortnightly dry matter intake, chemical composition of feed and fodder and digestibilities of nutrients were recorded. Average minimum and maximum ambient temperature during winter, summer and rainy seasons were 4.6${\pm}$1.9 and 21.4${\pm}$2.8; 13.6${\pm}$2 and 30.3${\pm}$2; and 20.0${\pm}$1.4 and $31.0{\pm}1.8^{\circ}C$, respectively. The average relative humidity and total rainfall during winter, summer and rainy season were 69.5${\pm}$2.9% and 74.7${\pm}$21.8 mm; 58.6${\pm}$2.2% and 38.1${\pm}$18.1 mm; and 69${\pm}$4.2% and 104.0${\pm}$43.7 mm, respectively. The body weight of rabbits increased during all seasons, however, the maximum average daily weight gain of 3.47${\pm}$0.1 g was observed during the rainy season. The wool yield differed significantly (p$\leq$0.05) among different seasons with highest (140.4${\pm}$10 g) and lowest (108.5${\pm}$6.9 g) during winter and summer, respectively. The wool yield during the rainy season was 123.3${\pm}$5.2 g. The wool quality attributes revealed non-significant differences for staple length, fiber diameter, medulation percent, percent pure fibers and percent guard hairs. Plane of nutrition revealed significant (p$\leq$0.05) differences for concentrate intake. The concentrate intake was highest during winter (124.4${\pm}$2.6 g) followed by summer (86.8${\pm}$8.9 g) and rainy (80.7${\pm}$11.8 g) seasons. The reverse trend was observed in roughage intake with significantly (p${\leq}$0.05) lower intake during winter and highest during summer months. As a result total dry matter intake during different seasons was similar. Significant differences (p${\leq}$0.05) were observed for digestibilities of crude protein, crude fiber, ether extract, acid detergent fiber and cellulose. Digestibility of crude protein was highest during winter whereas the digestibilities of crude fiber, ether extract, acid detergent fiber and cellulose remained higher during the rainy season. During the winter season, the dry matter used for producing 100 g of wool was substantially lower than during other seasons and was concluded to be the best season for production of Angora wool under subtemperate Himalayan conditions.

육상 오염원의 영향을 적게 받는 완도 해역에서 약 10년간의 월별 수질자료를 이용하여 식물성플랑크톤의 증가에 의한 유기물의 증가에 대하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 DIN의 경우 겨울철인 2월에는 상대적으로 높은 농도인 0.138mg/L를 나타내고 있으며 여름철인 8월에는 0.052mg/L로 매우 낮은 값을 나타내고 있다. DIP의 경우도 DIN과 비슷한 경향을 나타내고 있으며 겨울철인 2월의 농도가 가장 높은 0.015 mg/1이고 여름철인 8월이 가장 낮은 값인 0.011 mg/1를 나타내고 있다. 식물성플랑크톤의 제한영양염을 알아보기 위하여 Redfield ratio(N:P=16:1)를 이용하여 제한영양염을 평가하여 보면 완도해역은 질소가 제한 영양염으로 나타나고 있다. 가장 제한이 되고 있는 계절은 여름으로 N/P의 비가 10.5로 나타났다 Chl.-a는 겨울철인 2월에 비해 봄과 여름인 5월과 8월에 79%, 97%가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 유기물의 농도는 COD로 나타내었으며 2월에는 0.84 mg/1로서 가장 낮은 값을 나타내었으며 8월인 여름철에 가장 높은 1.10 mg/1를 나타내었다. 영양염과 Chl.-a의 상관관계는 DIN과의 상관에서 $r^2$M가 0.93, DIP과의 상관에서 $r^2$M가 0.89로 매우 높게 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과는 식물성플랑크톤의 증식이 영양염의 감소에 주요 원인이라고 할 수 있다. 또한 Chl.-a와 COD의 회귀분석에서 상관계수 $r^2$M가 0.78로서 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났으며 회귀식을 이용하여 분석한 결과 유기물의 생산량은 겨울철에는 17%, 여름철에는 37%가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 위의 결과를 종합하면 완도의 해역에서 수온이 증가하는 여름철에 용존성 영양염의 농도는 감소하고 있으나 식물성플랑크톤의 지표가 되는 Chl.-a와 유기물의 지표가 되는 COD는 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 이들을 회귀분석을 통하여 분석한 결과 상관성이 매우 높은 것으로 나타났다.

Higher concentrations of ammonia ($NH_3$) and carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) in animal barns can negatively affect production and health of animals and workers. This paper focuses on measurements of summer concentrations of ammonia ($NH_3$) and carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) in a naturally ventilated laying henhouse located at an egg production facility in Bursa region, western Turkey. Also, indoor and ambient environmental conditions such as temperature and relative humidity were measured simultaneously with pollutant gas concentrations. The average $NH_3$ concentrations during summer of 2013 was 8.05 ppm for exhaust and 5.42 ppm for inlet while average $CO_2$ concentration was 732 ppm for exhaust and 625 ppm for inlet throughout summer. The overall minimum, average and maximum values and humidity were obtained as $16.8^{\circ}C$, $24.72^{\circ}C$, and $34.71^{\circ}C$ for indoor temperature and 33.64%, 63.71%, and 86.18% for relative humidity. The lowest exhaust concentrations for $NH_3$ and $CO_2$ were 6.98 ppm and 609 ppm, respectively. They were measured in early morning at the maximum diurnal ventilation rate in July 2013 and August 2013. The highest concentrations were 10.58 ppm for $NH_3$ and 904 ppm for $CO_2$ recorded in the afternoon when the ventilation rate was the lowest in June 2013.

제주도산 은어의 어체량이 전소한 사실에 대하여 그 원인을 구명하는 일환으로 성장이 빠른 하계의 개체생산 속도를 1973년 6월 18일부터 9월 25일까지 강정천에서 조사한 바 자료수가 만족스럽지는 못하나 본체조자료에서는 다음과 같은 결과를 추정할 수 있었다. 1) 1973년도 하계에 있어서 강정천산 은어의 개체생산속도에 대하여 Table 5와 같이 추정하였다. 2) 강정천산 은어의 개체생산속도는 일본 우주산의 것게 비하여 불과 $7.2\%$였고, 부착조류에 현존량도 $6.7\%$에 지나지 않으며 전체적으로 극히 미비하였다. 3) 조사기간을 통하여 부착조류의 현존량으로 볼 때 서식밀도가 평균 5.2미/$m^2$로써 수용한계추정 미수 4.8미 /$m^2$보다 많은 수인 5.2미/$m^2$였다. 4) 강정천산 은어의 하계 개체생산속도는 주로 8월에서 9월 사이에 왕성히 이루어지고 있음을 알았다. 5) 개체생산속도의 성적이 좋지 못한 것은 이식량의 부족에 있는 것으로 보았으며, 이는 부착조류의 생산량이 적고 서식밀도가 과다한 데다 일중 평균수온이 낮아 섭이활동이 활발치 못한 데서 기인한 것으로 추측되었으며, 이러한 요인들이 일차적으로 강정천의 은어 생산속도에 크게 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 보았다.

In order to improve oyster farming condition, estimation of food availability (CC) was carried out in Garorim Bay, Seosan, Korea. The primary production of the waters were ranged from 0.07 to $0.26gC/m^2/day$. A strong tendency was observed that the inner side of the bay was higher at primary production. Estimated food availability was ranged from 0.0424 to 1.655. Temporal shortage in food supply was observed at April with about 15% less than the oysters' requirement, which may be causative of spat mortality after introducing into the farms. Food availability was met the food demand during summer but significant shortage was also observed at after August, which may main causative of retarded oyster fattening in the waters. This study suggested that adjustment of cultural density may be necessary for the improved harvesting of the oyster.

In order to investigate the effect of feeding live yeast culture on the performance of laying hens, a feeding trial was conducted with 96 20-wk-old Hy4ine brown layers during their laying period of 60 wk. The live yeast culture used was a product from Saccharomyces cerevisiae that was cultured on the corn-based substrate followed by careful drying of whole material not to lose the viability of yeast. Three levels of yeast culture as 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0% for three treatments and 0% for the control were included in the experimental diets. The feeding trial was carried out for 60 wk from August 26, 1992 to October 26, 1993. To evaluate the performance of layers during cold or hot periods as affected by the yeast culture feeding, data from the 12-wk winter period and 12-wk summer period were separated and analyzed accordingly. During 60 wk of laying period hen-day egg production was slightly but significantly(P<.05) improved by feeding the yeast culture. The average egg weight and daily egg weight(g /day) were also increased by the yeast culture. Feeding the yeast culture did not increase feed intake but feed efficiency was improved significantly (P<.05). No significant difference was detected in egg or eggshell qualities between control and yeast culture-treated groups. Feed intake and egg weight were not affected by the yeast culture feeding under both cold and hot period, but egg production and feed efficiency during hot summer improved significantly by its feeding. This result indicates that the effectiveness of the yeast culture feeding is greater during summer than winter for laying hens.

In this study, we used the Flux Balance Analysis (FBA) program to examine the behavior of hydrogen and organic acids according to seasonal changes in food wastewater collected from D city. The results showed that average hydrogen conversion rates in spring, summer, autumn, and winter were 1.06, 0.71, 1.21, and 1.13 mol H₂/mol of hexose_added, respectively, indicating a significantly lower hydrogen conversion rate in summer than in other seasons. This phenomenon is believed to occur because the carbohydrate concentration of the incoming food wastewater is low. In addition, Lactobacillus, the lactic acid-producing bacterium, was 21.3% in spring, 27.2% in summer, 17.5% in autumn, and 22.6% in winter. The most distinctive feature of the microbial community in summer was that 15.3% of the Ilyobacter was analyzed. It was confirmed that Ilyobacter, which is involved in the production of acetic acid and propionic acid, is closely associated with the tendency of increasing acetic acid and propionic acid and thus contributes to organic acid change. Clostridium, a hydrogen-producing bacterium, was 76.2%, 50.8%, 78.3%, and 74%, in spring, summer, autumn, and winter, respectively. It was confirmed that Clostridium dominates the microbial community by approximately 70% or more in all seasons except summer.

The movement range and diurnal behavior of 17 wild black rockfish (Sebastes schlegeli) were monitored within the marine ranching area of Tongyeong from 27 July to 7 November, 2005 using acoustic telemetry. Coded transmitters were surgically implanted into the abdomen of fish. Two of ten fish released in summer moved about 2 km away from the capture point for 1 day. The others stayed within a 500-m radius of the release point for 1 week after release. The seven fish released in autumn stayed within 500 m of the release point. Most fish were more active and had a greater range of horizontal diurnal movement at night than during the day. Additionally, the range of horizontal diurnal variation was greater in summer than in autumn. While fish released in summer were more vertically active at night than during the day, those released in autumn preferred to move vertically during the day.

Six adult female Murrah buffaloes of about 12 years were exposed to solar radiation during summer when minimum and maximum ambient temperatures were 27.1 and $44.1^{\circ}C$, respectively. The skin surface temperature at forehead, middle pinna, neck, rump, foreleg, hind legs were recorded using non-contact temperature measuring instrument and respiration rate and rectal temperature were measured throughout the 24 hours starting from 6:30 AM. The diurnal fluctuations and temperature gradients have been reported for buffaloes. During summer when ambient temperature and solar radiation was maximum, adult buffaloes were not able to maintain their thermal balance even after increasing the pulmonary frequency 5 - 6 times. The changes in skin temperature at various sites indicate that the temperature of skin surface not only varies in relation to exposure but also due to water diffusion and evaporation.
