Difference of carotenoid pigments in integuments of the wild and cultured flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus and yellowtail, Seriola quinqueradiata were studied. Total carotenoid contents in integuments of the wild and cultured flounder were 1.38mg% and 1.l6mg%, respectively. The main carotenoids in integuments of the wild flonder were zeaxanthin (19.22%), $\beta$-carotene type triol (17.80%), tunaxanthin C (17.77％), lutein (16.44%) and tunaxanthin B (13.70%). In addition, tunaxanthin A (5.42%), $\alpha$-cryptoxanthin (4.80%), astaxanthin (0.69%) and $\beta$-cryptoxanthin (0.24%) were also contained in small amounts. But in the cultured flounder, lutein (38.21%) and zeaxanthin (29.69%) were contained as main carotenoids. In addition, $\beta$-carotene type triol (7.80%), tunaxanthin C (7.05%), $\alpha$-cryptoxanthin (4.34%), tunaxanthin B (4.21%), as-taxanthin (2.40%) and $\beta$-cryptoxanthin (1.30%) were present in small amounts. Consequently, the wild flounder contained higher amounts of tunaxanthin and trios but contained lower amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin than the cultured flonder. The contents of carotenoids from integuments of wild and cultured yellow-tail were 1.08mg% and 0.09mg%. Wild and cultured yellowtail have similar carotenoid patterns, consisting of tunaxanthin C (44.11%, 43.37％), tunaxanthin B (33.56%, 29.23%) and tunaxanthin A (18.22%, 21.68%), respectively.

To clarify the factors influencing the physical properties of fish after heat treatments, we investigated changes in the properties of proteins in the dorsal ordinary and dark muscle of yellowtail (Seriola quinqueradiata) heated under different conditions commonly used for the purposes of food hygiene. High-temperature/short-time heating (85℃ for 90 s and 75℃ for 60 s) affected the protein solubility more than low-temperature/long-time heating (63℃ for 30 min). Sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and differential scanning calorimetry showed that low-temperature/long-time heating reduced the degree of actin denaturation in fish compared with that by other heating conditions. In addition, collagen solubility was enhanced with low-temperature/long-time heating. Therefore, these results suggest that differences in the degree of actin and collagen denaturation are responsible for the enhanced meat tenderness and diminished meat shrinkage, resulting from low-temperature/long-time heating.

The bio-logging method could be a valuable approach to studying the underwater movement of marine fish. We investigated the horizontal and vertical movement patterns of two yellowtails Seriola quinqueradiata weighing 8.7 kg and 9.5 kg with a popup satellite archival tag from October 2020 to January 2021 in the East Sea of Korea. Our results showed that a yellowtail migrated northward in October and November, and then shifted southward in mid-December. The average swimming depth and temperature of the fish monitored over 82 days were 24.9 ± 9.3 m (average ± SD) and 16.5 ± 1.9℃, respectively, and the total traveled distance was 1,172.4 km. The fish swam significantly deeper during the daytime (33.70 ± 14.80 m) than at nighttime (20.65 ± 8.44 m) from November to December (p < 0.05). These results suggest that the horizontal migratory route of yellowtails in accordance with the East Korea Warm Current which is the main branch of Tsushima Warm Current in the fall and early winter seasons, and showed significant diel vertical movement patterns from November to December.

It is challenging to simultaneously estimate parameters in a stock-recruitment relationship, steepness, and natural mortality rate with the other parameters within an age-structured assessment model even in a data-rich situation. Such a problem leads to uncertainty in estimates of management references such as maximum sustainable yield (MSY), which are affected by those components. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of those parameters on MSY by analyzing the process of estimating the MSY. For illustration, we used two data sets: The chub mackerel Scomber japonicus in the Korean waters and the yellowtail flounder Limanda ferruginea in the Southern New England-Mid Atlantic. As a result, the natural mortality rate influenced spawning stock biomass per recruit, yield per recruit, and MSY, while steepness affected MSY. A sensitivity analysis enabled us to estimate the natural mortality rate and steepness. The optimal set of steepness and natural mortality was 1.0 and 0.37 per year for the chub mackerel, and 0.35, and 0.8 per year for the yellowtail flounder, respectively.

We studied the fishing ground of a yellowtail and oceanographic conditions around Chujado and Marado around Jeju Island from autumn to winter. Also we investigate the forming mechanism of fishing ground around Marado, which shows the best catch of yellowtail near Jeju island. The obtained results are summarized as follow ; 1. When the high temperature water about 15.0∼19.0 in depth of 50m distributed around Chujado and Marado, the fishing ground of Yellowtail is shows a good catch. On the contrary, when the low temperature water about 11.0∼14.0 is shows a poor catch. 2. Fishing grounds of yellowtail by handline fishing are formed with a school of Yellowtail migrating southward from the coastal sea of Korea and slaying around Marado to winter and spawn due to following factors. Firstly, a front of temperature and salinity is formed between inshore water and oceanic water around Marado. Secondly, small-size eddies and excellent horizontal and vortical mix which is created by strong tide and geographical features including irregular underwater ground and an isolated island. An abundant school of yellow tails stays in front of the tide where a good fishing ground was made.

In succession to the previous paper, the present study was directed to investigate the effect of keeping freshness of conger eel (Astroconger myriaster) and yellowtail (Seriola quinqueradiata) by partial freezing, and the changes in the physical properties of fish meat paste product prepared with the muscle of conger eel during storage were also examined. The results obtained are summarized as follows: The period of keeping freshness (days in which k value reaches $20\%$) of conger eel and yellowtail by partial freezing was 10 days and 6 days, respectively. VBN content in the conger eel muscle showed 39.5 mg/100g by icing for 15 days, and did not show a great change by partial freezing and freezing, while that of yellowtail muscle reached at 32 mg/100g by icing, 20 mg/100g by partial freezing and 18 mg/100g by freezing for 15 days. The lipids extracted from the muscles of both fishes by icing were remarkably oxidized than those by partial freezing. The myofibrillar protein in the conger eel muscle during storage for 9 days decreased $3\%,\;10%\;and\;11\%$ by icing, partial freezing and freezing, respectively, and that of yellowtail muscle did $16\%,\;10%\;and\;4\%$ by icing, partial freezing and freezing, respectively. On the other hand, the alkali-soluble protein in both fishes increased with storage time. Gel strength of fish meat paste product prepared with the muscle of conger eel decreased to $35\%$ by icing, $74\%$ by partial freezing and $76\%$ by freezing for 10 days compared to control, and the expressible water increased 1.6 times, 1.2 times and 1.1 times by icing, partial freezing and freezing, respectively, as much as that of control product.

This study monitored the morphological development of embryo, larvae and juvenile yellowtail kingfish, Seriola lalandi, for their aquaculture. The fertilized eggs obtained by natural spawning were spherical shape and buoyant. Fertilized eggs were transparent and had one oil globule in the yolk, with an egg diameter of $1.35{\pm}0.04mm$ and an oil globule diameter of $0.32{\pm}0.02mm$. The fertilized eggs hatched 67-75 h after fertilization in water at $20{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$. The total length (TL) of the hatched larvae was $3.62{\pm}0.16mm$. During hatching, the larvae, with their mouth and anus not yet opened. The yolk was completely absorbed 3 days after hatching (DAH), while the TL of post-larvae was $4.72{\pm}0.07mm$. At 40 DAH, the juveniles had grown to $30.44{\pm}4.07mm$ in TL, body depth increased, the body color changed to a black, yellow, and light gray-blue color, and 3-4 vertical stripes appeared. At 45 DAH, the juveniles were $38.67{\pm}5.65mm$ in TL and $10.10{\pm}0.94mm$ in body depth. The fish were green with a light orange color, with 7 faint green-brown stripes on the sides of their body. At 87 DAH, the juveniles had grown to 236.11 mm in TL, 217.68 mm in fork length, and 136.5 g in weight. The fish resembled their adult form, with a light yellow-green body color, loss of the pattern on the sides of their body, and a yellow coloration at the tip of the caudal fin.

The new biotelemetry method and system that the installation and the treatment of equipment is convenient and the instantaneously detailed position of the fish attached a pinger is able to track comparatively easily had been developed, an practicality of it were verified in the water tank and the small sea port through the tracking of fish. The biotelemetry method had been gotten the three dimensional locations of fish to the receiving transducer by combining of the super short base line (SSBL) method to detect the direction of pinger and the pinger synchronizing method to measure the range from receiving transducer to pinger. The receiving system had been designed to realize the high precision or wide detection range by application of the basic design method for receiving system of biotelemetry and the hydrophone array configuration. From tracking test of carp in the water tank, the migration course and the velocity of carp was investigated and the observed migration course was compared with measurement. The measured migration course of carp coincided with the observation in the main and the position of carp was able to track three dimensionally. The velocity of carp measured by the moving average method was 11.2cm/s. From tracking test of yellowtail in the small sea port, the migration course and the velocity of yellowtail was investigated at natural condition. The position of yellowtail was able to track three dimensionally and the velocity of it measured by moving average method was 43.9cm/s.

Properties as related to the utilization of the crude proteases extracted from the muscle and viscera of fish (2 dark fleshed lish; anchovy, Engraulis japonica, and gizzard-shad, Clupanoda punctatus; 2 white fleshed fish; seabass, Lateolabrax japonicus, and sole, Pleuronichthys cornutus) were studied. Proteolytic activity of the muscle protease was slightly inhibited with the increase of sodium chloride concentration and it was apparent against the yellowtail myofibrillar protein than casein substrate. Proteolytic activities of the seabass and sole visceral crude protease were inhibited to 50 to $60\%\;by\;25\%$ of sodium chloride, but those of anchovy and gizzard-shad viscera crude enzymes were not influenced by sodium chloride. The vacuum freeze-dried crude protease and glycerol-mixed crude pretense of gizzard-shad and seabass muscles were almost lost their activities on the 16th week of storage, while those from the viscera of the fish were relatively stable. Degradation of the yellowtail myofibrillar protein by the anchovy muscle and viscera crude pretenses rapidly proceeded in the beginning of the reaction and the degraded products were mainly distributed in the range of 6 to 15 kDa electrophoretically.

Yellowtail fishes(Seriola quinqueeradiata) were submitted to the storages using ice-cooling($0^{\circ}C$), partial freezing($-3^{\circ}C$) and freezing $-20^{\circ}C$) method. Changes in the structures of muscle during storage at different temperatures were investigated. The ice-cooling and partial freezing storage caused early decomposition of glycogen granules and mitochondrial inner membrane, but it was accorded to much slower manner comparing with that of ice-cooling storage. The scars of ice crystals were appeared after three days of storage. The number and size of the crystal increased as progressing of the storage. They were circular and mostly located between fibers. When using the freezing storage, glycogen granules were mostly found from the muscle cell even after fourteen days of storage. Mitochonidral inner membrane maintained their integrity. The scars of ice crystals were also found, however, different from those of partial freezing storage. Their existing sites were random and their shapes were irregular. In many cases, they located in the fiber and had keen edges. Fibers were broken mostly at the Z-lines on fourteen days of storage. From these results, it was concluded that partial freezing storage can repress autolytic enzymic action and can reduce the physical damage from ice crystals which is caused by freezing.
