This research was conducted to investigate pollutant load unit factor from aquacultural farms. Pollutant load unit factors were investigated on the 13 kinds of fish type, i.e., Trout, Leather Carp, Eel, Carp, Cartfish, Freshwater Eel, Crucian Carp, Colored Carp, Sturgeon, Marsh Snail, Sweetfish, Pond Snail, Eriocheir Sinensis. Water qualities in aquacultural farms were investigated wide range of values by fish type and pollutant items. High BOD and COD values were observed at the Leather Carp (Ponded water system), Cartfish (Ponded water system) and Freshwater Eel (Recirculating System). TOC and DOC values were relatively high at the Freshwater Eel (Recirculating System) and Eriocheir Sinensis (Extensive). Eel (Ponded water system) and Freshwater Eel (Recirculating System) produced high concentrated nutrient pollutants, i.e., T-N, T-P. Pollutant load unit factors are dependent on fish type, aquacultural type, water quality items, etc. If some fishes have similar basic unit values, those could be applied for TMDLs as a group of fish having same pollutant load unit. The water quality concentrations of post treatment facilities' (mainly reservoir tank) effluent were higher than those of fish raising bath because of extracting pollutant from sediment in the reservoir tank. Therefore, it needs to the management and regulations about post treatment facilities.

This research's main objective was to analyze the special qualities of food culture of the Main Family in Chung-Buk through a case study on the diversified types of meals that the Main Family cooked, such as courtesy food, normal food, and seasonal food. The research identifies traditional ingredients of specialties from Chung-Buk through old literature. According to "Sejongsillokjiriji", there are a myriad of ingredients:, including jujube, ginseng, pine mushroom, manna lichen, persimmon, mandarin fish, crab, sweetfish, lacquer, honey, and terrapin, which represent Chung-Buk's unique ingredients. Another reliable source, "Banchandungsok", does not provide a detailed list of traditional foods, but rather a simple list. The majority of food from Chung-Buk, in "Banchandungsok", consist of side dishes like kimchi and salt greens. Eventually, salt greens became diversified. As Chung-Buk is a landlocked province, people often used dried pollack. Kimchi and raw coaker were frequently used as well, and rice cakes encompassed multiple ingredients such as: jujube, mushroom, pine nut, and, dried persimmon. There were distinct differences in the diversity of food and amount of dishes used by the Main Families of Chung-Buk dependent on the ingredients and wealth of each Main Family. Chung-Buk has a landscape full of mountains, so potatoes were abundant and used to make potato Dasik. When cooking process was completed, people placed kelp on to the finished product. Seasonal foods were considered very important, especially on special occasions such as Backjoong, which was a day dedicated to laborers. These foodsprovided a good opportunity for the community to build stronger bonds by sharing rice cake and Yukgaejang with other members of the community. It is apparent that "Jeobbingac" culture, or guest culture, flourished since people in Chung-Buk are traditionally taught to leave spare food for the guest at all times.

An epidemiological survey on Metagonimus yokogawai infection was performed in the eastern coast area of Kangwon province. Formalin-ether concentration technique and Stoll's dilution egg counting method were employed to figure out the prevalence and intensity of M. yokogawai infection and eating habits of inhabitants with raw freshwater fish. The results are summarized as follows: 1. The prevalence rate of M. yokogawai infection was 6.6% among a total of 2, 357 examinees; 8.6% (115 out of 1, 345) in male and 4.0% (40 out of 1, 012) in female. 2. The prevalence rates were different by the streams where the examinees were residing: 17.8% along the area of Ohsip-cheon (stream), 11.8% along Maeup-cheon, 1.7% along Hwasang-cheon, 1.3% along Yeongok-cheon, 0.9% along Namdae-cheon, 0.9% along Sa-cheon and 0% in the other streams (Yongchon-cheon, Kangnung Namdae-cheon and Jusoo.cheon) in decreasing order. 3. By social strata, the positive rate was 8.0% (122 out of 1, 521) in general inhabitants and 3.9% (33 out of 836) in school children. 4. By the intensity of infection by means of EPG counts in feces; the light infection (less than 400/EPG) was 74.1%, moderate infection (401-1, 000/EPG) 17.3% and heavy infection (more than 1, 001/EPG) 8.6%. 5. Twelves out of 50 sweetfish (Plecoglossus altivelis) (24%) caught from the streams in eastern coast of Kangwon-Do were infected with metacercariae of M. yokogawai, and the number of larvae detected were 70.7 per 6sh in average. The metacercarial infection rates in fish were also different by the streams; 100% in Ohsip-cheon of Samcheok-Gun, 14.3% in Sa-cheon, 16.7% in Yeongokcheon of Myeongju-Gun and 0% in Namdae-cheon of Yangyang-Gun, respectively. 6. Six hundred ninety live (695) out of 1, 396 inhabitants and school children (49.8%) were experienced in eating raw freshwater fishes (Plecoglossus altivezis, Triboledon hakonensis, Coreoperca sp., Morose sp., Carassius sp. & Cyprinus sp. and Zacco platypus). The data were assayed with the questionnaire collected from the examinees. In summarizing the above results, it is known that the Ohsip-cheon area of Samcheok-Gun is highly infected region, and the other areas of Kangnung Namdae-cheon, Yeongok-cheon and Yangyang Namdae-cheon are very lowly infected or non-infected regions for M yokogawai infection.

요꼬가와흡충을 개에 감염시키고 장점 막에서 분리한 초기 발육단계의 충체가 특이한 자세를 취하고 있음을 관찰하여 이를 보고하고자 한다. 은어에서 분리한 요꼬가와흡충 피낭유충을 개 8마리에 각각 10,000개씩 경구감염시키고, 감염 후 3일, 9일, 4주 및 10주에 2마리씩 도살하였다. 105포르말린으로 고정한 장점 막에서 분리 수집한 요꼬가와흡충의 자세를 광학 및 주사현미경으로 관찰하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 충체회수율은 감염 3일에 42.6%, 9일에 55.0%, 4주에 33.2%, 및 10주에 8.9%로 감염이 경과할수록 감소하였다. 2. 감염후 3일된 개의 소장 점막의 조직절편에서 미성숙 충체가 융모사이에 위치하거나 장은와에 침입함을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이때 장은와 상부에 침입한 충체절편중에는 하부로 향한 충체 전반부가 2분지된 모양으로 절편이 발견되는 경우가 있었다. 3. 고정한 소장 조직에서 장점막을 분리하고 해부침으로 점막조직을 해부하여 수집한 고정된 충체는 특히 감염 후 3일째에 여러가지 특이한 자세를 보였다. 충체전반부가 앞쪽으로 매우 돌출한 충체가 많았는데 돌출한 형태는 단순히 한가닥으로 돌출한 것에서 2분지, 3분지된 것까지 있어 마치 충체 전반부가 아메바운동을 하는 것 같이 보였다. 4. 이러한 형태의 충체를 주사전자현미경으로 관찰하였던 바 돌출한 충체전반부는 돌출한 전반부의 길이를 따라 길이로 흠이 파져 있음이 관찰되 었다. 5. 감염후 9일, 4주 및 10주된 충체에서는 전반부가 돌출한 충체의 비율은 감염 3일된 충체에 비해 감소하였다. 이상의 결과에서 요꼬가와흡충은 감염초기에 장은와 선강(선륙) 상부에 충체 전반부를 밀어 넣을 때에 전반부를 튜브모양으로 만들어 침 입하며 인근 장은와 선강을 동시에 침 입하기 위하여 한 충체에서 여러개의 튜브모양 돌출부를 만들고 있는 것으로 사료되었다.터 그 다음 날 아침 6시까지 1시간 간격으로 모기를 채집하였다. C. tritaeniorhynchus의 활동이 가장 활발한 시간은 21시에서 22시, 24시에서 1시 사이였으며, 아침 5시 이후에는 한마리도 채집할 수 없었다. 조사 지역에서 채집한 유충은 사육실로 옮겨 종을 동정 하였던 바, 4층 14종이었으며, 매년 사회적으로 문제가 되는 뇌염 매개종인 C. tritaeniorhynchus의 유충서식처는 답, 옹덩이, 작은 연못, 늪, 미나리논 및 소택지 등이었다. 이상의 성적으로 미루어 보아 뇌염 매개 모기, C. tritaeniorhynchus는 6월 중순에 처음으로 출현하며, 8월 하순과 9월 초순에 최대 밀도를 나타내였고, 10월 중순 부터는 채집할 수 없음을 알았다.위분지 이상에서 3％로 자엽절 2분지의 비중이 특히 컸다.스 접종 8일 후의 중장원동세포내에서 A형 및 B형 봉입체가 형성되었음을 확인하였다. 10. FV감염 중장조직세포의 전자현미경 관찰에서는 바이러스 접종 5일 후에 배상세포의 'cytoplasmic wall'이 비대해지고 그 내부에 virus-specific vesicle이 형성되었으며, 바이러스 접종 8일 후에는 virus-specific vesicle, 바이러스 입자, linear structure, tubular structure 및 전자밀도가 높은 matrix 등의 바이러스 감염에 대한 특이적인 구조물이 배상세포의 세포질에서 관찰되었으며, microvilli내에서 바이러스 입자의 존재도 확정되었다. 특히 virus-specific vesicle 주위에서는 전자밀도가 높은 구형의 바이러스 입자 유사체가 관찰되었는데, 이것은 virus-specific vesicle 주위에서 바이러스 조립이 일어나는 것을 추정된다. 한편 원통세포 내에서 봉입체 관찰되고, 변형소구화된 배상세포가 중장강으로 탈락되는 것이 관찰되었다

탐진댐은 전라남도 장흥군과 강진군을 흐르는 탐진강 상류에 건설되는 댐으로서 댐 건설에 따른 어류의 서식환경에의 영향을 고려하여 보전방안을 수립하기 위하여 어류분포, 서식환경을 조사하였다. 탐진강에는 댐 건설지 상 ${\cdot}$ 하류에서 총 49종의 어류가 서식하고 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 주요 어종으로는 바다와 담수를 왕래하는 회유어로 은어와 뱀장어가 조사되었으며, 환경부 보호종으로 지정되어 있는 꺽저기가 조사되었다. 댐이 건설되면 저수지가 담수됨에 따라 유수환경에서 저수환경으로 변화됨으로서 계류어의 서식 ${\cdot}$ 산란 공간이 감소하게 되며, 소상어류의 회유가 차단되게 될 것으로 예상되었다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 환경변화에 대처하여 어류를 보전하기 위하여 다양한 방안을 제시하였다. 저수지 상류의 유입부에는 감소된 계류어의 서식　${\cdot}$ 산란처를 보완하기 위하여 소규모 보에 어도를 시설하고, 수변공간 조성 및 인공의 부유산란장을 시설하도록 하였다. 또한 수심이 약 l0m 내외의 장소에는 돌무덤을 조성하여 뱀장어의 서식처를 조성하도록 하였다. 저수지 내에는 연중 수위변동으로 수변부 산란처의 자연적인 조성이 어려우므로. 인공구조물을 이용한 부유식 산란시설을 계획하였다. 댐 하류에는 하천의 감소된 서식 ${\cdot}$ 산란처 조성 및 탐진강 서식 어류의 종 다양성 및 풍부성을 유도하기위한 수로형 서식 ${\cdot}$ 산란처를 조성하도록 하였다. 또한 은어 등의 회유성 어류가 하류 하천에서 상류 저수지로 회유할 수 있도록 저비용 고효율의 조작식 어도를 제안하였다.

강 하구는 높은 생산성을 나타내는 생물다양성이 가장 높은 대표 수생태계이다. 환경 DNA (eDNA)를 이용한 수생태계 모니터링은 현장의 환경 시료를 확보하여 시료 내 존재하는 생물로부터 유래된 DNA를 추출하는 방법으로서 기존의 어구를 이용한 현장조사 모니터링에 비해 효율적이고 민감도가 높아 보완적인 방법으로 이용되고 있다. 본 연구는 낙동강 수계 하구 생태계를 대표하는 내륙 습지 하천인 태화강과 창원천을 대상으로 환경특성, 어류 군집구조와 종 다양성을 파악하였다. 태화강에서는 양측회유성, 소하성 및 강하성 어류인 은어, 황어 및 뱀장어의 서식이 대부분의 조사 시기 동안 확인되어 연안에서부터 중류 및 지류까지 비교적 원활한 서식처 종적 연결성을 나타내는 생태계임을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 창원천의 경우 특히 바다와 가까운 내륙 습지 하천으로 많은 다양한 해산어류 및 망둑어류의 서식이 확인되었으나, 회유성 어종인 은어는 환경 DNA에서만 검출되었고 현장조사에서는 관찰되지 않았다. 어구조사를 통한 종 다양성 평가 결과 태화강이 창원천에 비해 낮은 우점도지수, 높은 풍부도, 균등도, 다양도지수 수치를 나타내어 상대적으로 양호한 어류 군집 구조 상태를 나타냈다. 어구를 이용한 현장조사와 환경 DNA 메타바코딩 기법을 이용하여 태화강과 창원천 하구 생태계 어류 군집 구조 및 종 다양성을 비교 분석하였다. 어구를 이용한 3회 현장조사 결과 9~19종이 확인되었고 환경 DNA 1회 분석 결과 11~18종으로 환경 DNA 분석이 현장조사 결과와 유사한 수준의 종 수를 확인할 수 있었다. 어구를 이용한 5월 현장조사 결과는 6~11종이 확인된 점을 고려하면 환경 DNA가 종 탐지에서 민감도가 더 높음을 알 수 있었다. 환경 DNA를 이용한 수생태계 모니터링을 위한 어류 종 탐지의 잠재적인 효용성을 확인할 수 있었으나 우리나라 고유종 및 유전적으로 가까운 근연종들의 경우 명확한 종 동정에 어려움이 있었으며, 현장조사 시 관찰되었으나 환경 DNA에서 검출되지 않은 경우(위음성; false negative)와 현장조사 시 관찰되지 않은 종이 환경 DNA에서 검출(위양성; false positive)되는 자료의 한계점도 존재하였다. 향후 국내 고유종의 local DB 확보, 환경 DNA 조사 표준화 방법 구축, 국내 담수어류 대상 분자마커 개발 등이 확립된다면 수생태계 모니터링에 아주 효율적이며 실용적인 조사 방법으로 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Out of a total of 58 species of helminthic and protozoan parasitic infections in Korea, so far 38 species were reported as intestinal parasites of man. Quite a few species of the intestinal parasitic infections have long been prevalent throughout the country and this has been a significant public health problem. In this paper, current status and transition of the intestinal parasitic infections in the past years were presented. Chronological reviewing of data show background and prospects of change in the prevalence of infections. In the national prevalence survey on parasitic infections conducted once every five years since 1971, stool examinations were done by both cellophane thick smear and brine flotation techniques. Every egg positive case of Ascaris lumbricoides and Clonorchis sinensis was further examined by Stoll's dilution egg counting technique. In 1981, perianal swab using adhesive cellulose tape was added for Enterobius infection. For protozoan cyst examination conducted by province and city in '81, fecal specimens were fixed in SAF solution and examined by the formalin-ether concentration technique. High prevalence of parasitic infection in ana before the 1960s can be easily understood from the data given by the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs in 1967. From a parasite control point of view, the 1960s was the preparatory period particularly for control of soil-transmitted helminthiasis. Several organizations which have contributed to parasite control were founded in this period and the prevention law of parasitic infections was passed in '66. In the '70s, overall prevalence rates of the common intestinal parasitic infections, which were highly prevalent in the past were turned into reduction phase for the first time. The '80s can be said to be an active control period of parasitic infections. Intestinal helminths According to the reports of the national prevalence survey on parasitic infections, the prevalence of helminthic infections was 84.3%(number of person examined:24,887) in '71, 63.2%(27,178) in '76, and 41.1%(35,018) in '81. By area, the prevalence rate in '81 was 35.1%(20,569) in urban areas and 49.6%(14,447) in rural areas. Intestinal nematodes Ascaris lumbricoides The prevalence of Ascaris infection has decreased significantly in recent years. Among students, the prevalence was 55.4%, in '69 and decreased to 4.7% in '83. In the national prevalence surveys, the prevalence decreased to 13.0% in '81 from 54.9% in '71. By area, the prevalence decreased to 8.5% in '81 from 46.4% in '71 in urban area and 19.4% in '81 from 59.6% in '71 in rural area. By age, the prevalence has become in recent years relatively even in all age groups, although higher prevalence used to be seen in young age groups of around 10 years old, particulary in the highly prevalent rural areas. By sex, the prevalence was higher in the female than in the male. Unfertilized egg positive rates among the ascariasis cases increased gradually up to 55.4% on the average in '81. The intensity of the infection was also significantly decreased. Trichuris trichiura Trichuris infection had also decreased to 23.4% in '81 from 65.4% in '71. By area, the decreasing tendency of the prevalence became faster in urban areas than in the rural areas. The prevalence in urban and rural areas in '71 was 69.7%, and 63.1% respectively and decreased to 19.5% and 29.0% respectively in '81. By age, the prevalence reached a peak at the 10-14 age group and showed relatively even distribution throughout all age groups. By sex, the prevalence was close in young age groups, but in the 30s or over age group, especially in rural area, the prevalence was significantly higher in the female than in the male. The prevalence has much fluctuated depending in the area. The prevalence in rural areas surveyed in the '80s shows a range between 20.9% and 73.7% by locality. It is anticipated that the prevalence of Trichuris infection will drop more rapidly, when mass treatment is conducted. Hookworms Hookworm infection by mostly Ancylostoma duodenale and a few by Necator americanus has decreased to a negligible levels in recent years. In the national prevalence surveys, the prevalence was 10.7% in '71, 2.2% in '76, and 0.5% in '81. The prevalence was higher in rural areas than in urban areas. Wide application of multi-specific anthelminthics in the ascariasis control programmes conducted in the past decade appear to have been effective against hookworm infection. Trichostrongylus orientalis As in the case with hookworm infection, the prevalence of Trichostrongylus infection has reached a negligible levels. In the national prevalence surveys, the prevalence was 7.7% in '71, 1.0% in '76 and 0.2% in '81. Enterobius vermicularis In the national prevalence survey in '81, the egg positive rate was 12.0%. Higher prevalence is expected when examined repeatedly. The prevalence rate was 10.3% in urban area and 14.6% in rural area. In recent surveys conducted in rural areas among schoolchildren, the prevalence was 32.4% in Gimhae Gun in '82 and 64.1% in Yeongyang Gun in '83. By age, the egg positive rate was higher in young age groups of around 10 and sharply decreased in age groups of around 20 and then somewhat increased again in middle age groups. By sex, the prevalence was higher in the female than in the male. Strongyloides stercoralis Strongyloides stercoralis infection has rarely been found in Korea. Three cases were reported in 1914. And 0.1-0.5% were found infected out of 2,642 persons examined at the prisoner-of-war camp on Geojedo in 1956. One case was reported in '54 and '82, respectively. Anisakis spp. No systematic survey has been conducted for anisakiasis In Korea. So far, only several cases have been found 1 case in Seoul in '71, 5 cases in Busan in '81 and 1 case in Busan in '84. Intestinal trematodes Metagonimus yokogawai In the national prevalence survey conducted in 1981, the egg positive rate was 1.24% on the average. High endemic areas are located in the southwestern part of Korea. The prevalence in Hadong Gun was 29.1% on the average in '79. In a survey conducted in 76, the prevalence was 44.0% in Gwangyang, 55.0% in Gogseung and 29.0% in Gurye. The infection is closely correlated with raw sweetfish consumption in these areas. Other intestinal trematodes A human case of Heterophyes heterophyes was reported in 1914. Several species were reported in the '80s : 17 cases of Fibricola seoulensis, 9 cases of Pygidiopsis summa, 8 cases of Heterophyes heterophyes nocens, 1case of Heterophyopsis continua, 2 cases of Stellantchasmus falcatus, 1 case of Stictodora sp., 1 case of Echinostoma hortense, and 4 cases of Echinochasmus japonicus. As the intermediate hosts, snakes and frogs play a role for F.seoulensis and fish for the rest of the species. Intestinal cestodes Taenia saginata and T. solium Egg positive rates in the national prevalence survey were 0.7% in '76 and 1.1% in '81. The prevalence in '81 was 0.6% in urban area and 1.8% in rural area. The proglottid positive rate in Jeju Do was 19.2% on the average. On Udo, Jeju Do in 1983, the egg positive rate among the inhabitants was 2.9%. Hymenolepis nana In the national prevalence survey, egg positive rates were 0.6% in '76 and 0.4% in '81. No difference was seen in the prevalence by area and sex. Hymenolepis diminuta Infected cases were reported : 3 in '64 and I in '66. Egg positive rate in '81 was 0.01% in the national prevalence survey. Diphylobothrium latum So far, about 30 cases have been reported. The cases have been reported more frequently in recent surveys. Mesocestoides sp. A case was reported from a hospitalized patient in Seoul in '67. Spirometra erinacei Two cases were reported in '84 following reidentification of the adult worms collected in '74. Intestinal protozoa Out of a total of 23 species of human protozoan infections in Korea, 13 species were reported as intestinal protozoa : Entamoeba histolytica, E coli, Endolimax nana, Iodamoeba b$\ddot{u}$tschlii, Dientamoeba fragilis, Giardia lamblia, Chilomastix mesnilii, Embadomonas sp., Enteromonas hominis, Trichomonas hominis, Isospora belli, I. Hominis(Sarcocystis hominis), and Balantidium coli. Since the first report on intestinal protozoan infections in 1925, there have been quite a few survey data on the prevalence of the infection. It was found reviewing the data chronologically that up to the early '70s the infection was prevalent around a 30-50%. After that, the protozoan cyst positive rate has shown the tendency of gradual decrease throughout the country. Protozoan cyst survey conducted in Seoul and several provinces in 1981 revealed infection rates of 8.9%(1,310) in Gangweondo, 10.7%(1,703) in Gyenggi Do, 11.7%(1,032) in Jeonra Buk Do, 9.1%(4,116) in Jeonra Nam Do, and 1.4%(5,275) in Seoul. Entamoeba histolytica In the survey conducted by province in '81, the cyst positive rate was 0.8% in Gangweon-do, 0.3% in Gyeonggi Do, 1.4% in both Jeonra Buk Do and Jeonra Nam Do, and 0.2% in Seoul. Giardia lamblia In the survey by province in '81, cyst positive rates were 2.2% in both Gyeonggi Do and Jeonra Buk Do, 1.9% in Jeonra Nam Do, 0.5% in Gangweon Do, and 0.9% in Seoul. Balantidium coli Two cases were reported. One in 1930 and the other in '74. Isospora belli and I. Hominis(Sarcocystis hominis) Isospora belli was reported : 1 case in '56 and 3 cases in '66. I. Hominis, recently identified to be synonymous with Sarcocystis hominis, was reported : 3 cases in '66. Other intestinal protozoa The protozoan parasites other than the above mentioned are generally treated as commensal, although some of them are considered to be pathogenic. The data of '81 show that about 10% of the inhabitants are still infected with protozoa.
