Viable interspecific hybrids between yellowtail flounder (Pleuronectes ferrugineus, Store.) and winter flounder (Pleuronectes americanus, Walbaum) were produced by artificial insemination of yellowtail flounder eggs with winter flounder sperm. However, mean fertilization rate, hatching success and early survival up to 3 weeks post hatch were significantly lower than those of parental pure cross controls (P<0.01). Overall, cytogenetic traits (karyological analysis and estimation of cellular DNA contents using flow cytometry) of hybrid flounder were intermediate between the two parental species. Microsatellite assay was used to distinguish the parental genomes in the hybrids; in most cases, one allele was specific to each of the parents. Morphometrics assessed by body proportions indicated that hybrids generally displayed a morphology intermediate between the maternal and paternal species. Interspecific hybrids exhibited abnormal and retarded gonad development in both sexes based on histological analysis of gonads from adult fish. The sterility of the hybrids presents a significant advantage for their use in aquaculture, as potential escapees would not be capable of reproducing in the wild and contaminating natural stocks.

In a survey of net-caged yellowtail Seriola quinqueradiata in the southern parts of Korean Peninsula, we found infestations of ciliate in the gills of the moribund fish during the abnormally elevated temperature. The ciliate was very similar to genus Colpoda Muller, 1773 on morphological and reproductive characteristics. Histopathological changes revealed that the ciliate invaded gills only, causing extensive destruction of the gill filaments including lamella without any clinical signs found in the other organs and tissues. This is the first record of the parasitic ciliate in cultured yellowtail.

To investigate the properties of mucosubstances of the epidermis in various teleostean species, conventional histochemical stainings were used on the skin in five species of order Perciformes, i. e., yellowtail, Seriota quinqueradiat, striped beakperch, Oplegnathus fasciatus, brown spotted grouper, Epinephelus chlorostigma, sea chub, Ditrema temmincki and multicolorfin rainbowfish, Halichoeres poecilopterus. The following methods were used: periodic acid Schiff (PAS), alcian blue (AB) pH at 2.5, AB pH at 1.0, AB pH at 2.5-PAS, AB pH at 1.0-PAS, aldehyde fuchsin (AF) pH at 1.7-AB pH at 2.5 and high iron diamine (HID)-AB pH at 2.5. The epidermis of all five species consisted of three layers: superficial, middle, and basal layer. The superficial layer was comprised of rather flattened cells. In particular, the outermost layer of striped beakperch and middle layer of sea chub consisted of mucus-secreting cells. Mucous cells, the unicellular glands, were found in epidermis but varied in number in different body regions and species. Although there was a slight difference in the amount in various species and body regions, the secretory contents of the mucous cells in the five teleostean species contained acidic mucopolysaccharides. In yellowtail, striped beakperch, and multicolorfin rainbowfish, the property of mucosubstances was identified as sialomucin, while it was sulphomucin in brown spotted grouper and sea chub.

The lysine requirements of juvenile yellowtail flounder (Pleuronectes ferrugineus) having 19.5 g initial body weight were estimated by feeding six practical-type diets containing graded levels of lysine (1.21 to 2.69% of dry diet). Dietary amino acid profile simulated that of whole body of yellowtail flounder. Most of amino acids in the diets were provided by corn gluten meal, herring meal and gelatin. Protein efficiency ratio (PER) improved significantly until lysine level increased up to 2.1% (4.3% of protein). Same trend was observed in feed:gain ratio (FGR) which maintained constant in fish groups fed diets containing lysine above 2.1%. The highest nitrogen gain (0.34 g/fish) in whole body was found in fish fed 2.1% lysine, though the value was not different from those of fish fed above the level of lysine. Fish fed 2.1% lysine also showed the best nitrogen retention efficiency of 24.6%. The broken-line analysis of protein efficiency ratio and body nitrogen gain against dietary lysine level yielded an estimated lysine requirement of 2.2% (4.5% of protein) and 2.3% (4.7% of protein), respectively.

This study describes results on sexual maturation and characteristics of natural spawned eggs to develop a method for the production of stable, healthy fertilized eggs from captive-reared yellowtail kingfish, Seriola lalandi. A total of 59 yellowtail kingfish were captured off the coast of Jeju Island, after which the broodstock was cultured in indoor culture tank ($100m^3$) until they were 6.1-14.9 kg in body weight. As part of the rearing management for induced sex maturation, the intensity of illumination was maintained at 130 lux. The photoperiod (light/dark; L/D) was set to a 12 L/12 D from October 2013 to January 2014, and 15 L/9 D from February 2014 to June 2014. Feeds comprised mainly EP (Extruded Pellets), with squid cuttlefish added for improvement of egg quality, and was given from April to June 2014. The first spawning of yellowtail kingfish occurred in May 3, 2014, at a water temperature of $17.0^{\circ}C$. Spawning continued until June 12, 2014, with the water temperature set at $20.5^{\circ}C$. Time of spawning was 26 times at this period. The total number of eggs that spawned during the spawning period was $4,449{\times}10^3$. The buoyant rate of spawning eggs and fertilization rate of buoyant eggs during the spawned period were 76.1% and 100%, respectively. The diameters of the egg and oil globule were $1.388{\pm}0.041mm$ and $0.378{\pm}0.029mm$, respectively, which was higher in early eggs than in those from late during the spawned period.

The native myosin and paramyosin extracted from the ordinary muscle of yellowtail (Seriola quinqueradita) and the adductor muscle of whelk (Neptunea arthritica cumingi) were studied for their physico-chemical characteristics. Molecular weight, molar extinction coefficient at 278 nm and intrinsic viscosity were accounted for $4.6{\times}10^5$dalton, 5.44 in $E^{1cm}_{1%}$ and 1.60 dl/g in yellowtail myosin, and $2.0{\times}10^5$ dalton, 3.04 in $E^{1cm}_{1%}$ and 2.60 dl/g in whelk paramyosin, respectively. Yellowtail myosin showed a $0.342\;{\mu}mole-Pi/min/mg-protein$ of ${Ca}^{2+}-ATPase$ activity and contained 40 group-SH/mole-myosin. The ratio of polar amino acids to non-polar amino acids and that of acidic amino acids to basic amino acids were 0.54 and 1.64 in yellowtail moysin, and were 0.47 and 2.42 in whelk paramyosin, respectively.

In this study, we investigated the relationship between catches of yellowtail and water temperature at the set net fisheries of Gyeongsangbuk-do (Gyeongbuk) and Gangwon-do (Gangwon) off the east coast of Korea from May-November, 1980-2010. We also analyzed the water temperature and fluctuation of catches during the northward moving period (May-August) and southward moving period (September-November) using NOAA satellite images. Although the total catches fluctuated year by year, catches increased during the southward moving period when the water alongside the coast warmed. Yellowtail catches during the southward period in fall were higher than those during the northward period in spring or summer. The catch when the water temperature decreased was larger in Gyeongbuk than in Gangwon for all periods However, the catch when the water temperature increased was much larger in Gangwon than in Gyeongbuk. This indicates that high summer temperatures (> $25^{\circ}C$) affected the coast of Gangwon, with high water temperature ($20^{\circ}C$) maintained in the region during fall. Therefore, the increased catch in Gangwon was due to longer yellowtail presence caused by increased water temperature.

When frozen sandeel Ammodytes personatus which had been stored for a long time, was given to yellowtail for 70 to 80 days, some mortality of the rearing fish began to appear. The liver of the diseased fish showed some yellowish brown discoloration and histopathological study revealed that fatty degeneration of the liver cells was obvious, and this degeneration was especially heavy around bile-duct. The cell nuclei showed atrophy.

Malachite green (MG), a triphenylmethane dye, is carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, a respiratory toxin, and causes chromosomal fractures. It is not permitted for use as an aquaculture veterinary drug in a number of countries. Sensitive extraction methods for MG and leucomalachite green (LMG), which have long residence times in fish tissues, were developed. For LMG, the average recovery of liquid extraction (LE) ranged from 41.71 (yellowtail) to 71.60% (snakehead); the recovery of liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) was between 67.68 (yellowtail) and 83.68% (snakehead); and the average recovery of solid-phase extraction (SPE) ranged from 84.16 (yellowtail) to 92.92% (shrimp). The recovery of MG was less than 30% with SPE. However, the dye is found primarily as the colorless reduced leuco form in fish tissues.
