The moving behaviour of Yellowtail Seriola quinqueradiata schools in the main-net of a large scale set-net was investigated in relation to the catching function of the funnel-net by a scanning sonar. The investigation was took place in the Kishihata set-net fishing ground located in Nanao city Ishigawa prefecture, Japan from Nov. 9 to Nov. 13, 1992. The obtained results are summarized as follows; 1. Fish schools showed the greatest number at the playground in the morning and at the bag-net in the afternoon. The fish schools remained long time in the main-net. 2. The rate of fish school through the funnel-net was smaller than that of fish school which is though the playground and bag-net. Because the Yellowtail school changed the shape of school in passing the funnel-net. 3. The rate of entering the bag-net was 24%, among the fish school heading to the outer funnel-net. But, the rate of escaping to the playground was 27%, among the fish school heading to the inner funnel-net. It seems that the structure of the outer funnel-net was not enough to lead the fish to the bag-net. However, the structure of the inner funnel-net was very effective at preventing escape. 4. It is appropriate to haul the net in the morning in considering the number of accumulated fish in the bag-net during the survey.

The authors carried out an experiment to find the optomotor response of killifish, Orizias latipes(TEMMINCK et SCHLEGEL) and Yellowtail, Seriola quinqueradiata (TEMMINCK et SCHLEGEL) according to the colors of the netting pattern on the visual screen and the revolving velocities of the visual screen. The experimental water tank was made of 0.5 cm thick transparent acryl in the cylindrical shape (100R$\times$42H cm). The water level in the tank was maintained 30cm high from the bottom. The colors of the netting pattern (mesh size: 19.1cm, width of netting twine: 1.5cm, hanging ratio: 84%) on the three visual screens were black, red and green respectively. The revolving velocities of the visual screen were controlled by pulley, bevel gear and variable speed motor in three steps; slow (15.0cm/sec), middle (37.4cm/sec) and high (62.9cm/sec). The fish was put into the water tank before each experiment and released in it for 30 minutes in order to acclimatize itself to the tank. The visual screen was revolved for 4 minutes per each experiment, at first the fish was released for 1 minute, and then the behavior of the fish was observed for 3 minutes. In the course of clockwise and counter clockwise experiments, 10 minutes-pause was given for the rest. The behavior of the fish was observed by video system, and rounding number and swimming speed of the fish were analysed. The results obtained are as follows: (1) Optomotor response rate of Killifish and yellowtail were 95% and 94% respectively. (2) Response of the fish according to the colors of the netting pattern on the three visual screens was best in black, and second in red and third in green. (3) Response of the fish according to the revolving velocities of the visual screen was best in high speed, and second in middle speed and third in slow speed.

Cardiovascular and respiratory responses of fish exposed to environmental hypoxia have on the subject of a number of investigations. Although relatively few species have been examined, generalized responses to ambient hypoxia include an elevation of blood pressure, increased systemic vascular resistance and bradycardia (Fritsche and Nilsson, 1990; Bushnell and Brill, 1991). The degree of bradycardia experienced by fish during hypoxia is highly variable and may depend upon the severity of the hypoxia and the rapidity with which it is imposed. (omitted)

Proteolytic properties of enzymes from the muscle and viscera of anchovy have been examined. Cathepsin L, chymotrypsin, and trypsin showed similar Km values for casein. However, they had higher Km values for myofibrillar proteins than those for casein. The $k_cat$ of cathepsin L and chymotrypsin for myofibrillar proteins were higher than that of trypsin, and also cathepsin L and chymotrypsin caused higher hydrolysis in myofibrillar proteins of anchovy and yellowtail. In the presence of sodium chloride$(0-25\%)$, proteolytic activity for myofibrillar proteins from yellowtail was higher than that for casein. Proteolytic activity was decreased with the increase of sodium chloride concentration. Cathepsin L had been less affected by NaCl concentration and temperature on the hydrolysis of myofibrillar proteins than chymotrypsin and trypsin. Cathepsin L and chymotrypsin were move responsible to the autolysis of muscle proteins from fish than trypsin.

Actomyosine prepared from Yellowtail fish(seriola quinqueradiata) were stored at $0^{\circ}C$(ice-cooling) -3.5$^{\circ}C$(partial freeaing) and -2$0^{\circ}C$(freezing) Another actomyosin samples were prepared from the fish previously stored at the temperatures for a week as the maximum .Remaining activity of {{{{ {Ca }^{2+ } }}}}-and {{{{ {Mg }^{2+ } }}}}- dependent adenosine triphosphatase(ATPase) activity was measured fronm the actomyosin preparations. Specific activity of {{{{ {Mg }^{2+ } }}}}-ATPase of actomy-osin before storagew was 0.253$\mu$ mole pi/min/mg of protein and it was 1.5 times higher than that of {{{{ {Ca }^{2+ } }}}} -ATPase. The enzyme activities were markedly decreased during early period of storage. However no significant differences in the enzyme activity were revealed among the samples stored at different temperature. The enzyme of actomyosin prepared from the fish previously stored at the temperatures for a week revealed an acitivity of 2-3 times higher than that of freezing. Apparent denaturation constant of {{{{ {Mg }^{2+ } }}}} -ATPase of actomyosin was between 0.810-1.139 per day and it was about 1.5 times hgiher than that of {{{{ {Ca }^{2+ } }}}} -ATPase. But the constant of {{{{ {Mg }^{2+ } }}}} ATPase of actomyosin extracted from the fist stored for a week at each temperature was between 0.176-0.356 per day. This constant was 4 times higher than that of {{{{ {Ca }^{2+ } }}}}- ATPase in frozen stored fish. It was presumed from these results that denaturation of ATPase is largely accorded to the structural changes of actomyosin.

The denaturation mechanism of the protein during heating of myosin and paramyosin extracted from the ordinary muscle of yellowtail (Seriola qrinqueradits) and the adductor muscle of whelk (Neptunea arthritica cuming) were investigated by analyzing the hydrophobicity, solubility, SH group and protein-protein interaction. The free hydrophobic residue of the two proteins were increased by increase of heating temperature up to $65^{\circ}C$ and then decreased for further temperature raise. The protein-protein interaction was proportional to the increment of the free hydrophobic residue. The aggregation of protein was begun from $65^{\circ}C$ with the decrease of the free hydrophobic residues. The results of Arrhenius equation for the data on proteinprotein interaction showed that the denaturation course was made up with multi-steps in the myosin and two-steps in the paramyosin. The number of free hydrophobic residue and SH group, solubility and protein-protein interaction were significantly differed with the denaturation temperature (p<0.01).

The forming of fishing ground and the population ecological characteristics of yellowtail, Seriola quinqueradiata, in the coastal waters off Gim-nyeong of Jeju Island were investigated. The stock of yellowtail, Seriola quinqueradiata, between Jeju Island and coastal areas of the East Sea is probably the same. Water temperature probably is a major factor for controlling distribution of yellowtails in deeper, offshore areas off Jeju Island. However, the major factor that determines aggregation of yellowtails in coastal areas of Jeju Island, especially off Gim-nyeong is probably strong tidal currents driven by distribution of yellowtails rather than hydrological conditions such as Yellowtails collected off Jeju Island were from 1 to 4yrs old and about 50% of them were $1^{-yr}$ old, probably indicating overfishing. Jack mackerel was the major prey item for yellowtails off Gim-nyeong from October to March, suggesting concurrence of the two species.

Pacific yellowtail emperor, Lethrinus atkinsoni Seale, 1910, is one of the most targeted reef fish species in Southern Sulawesi, Indonesia. Therefore, assessing its stock is important to understand the condition of the population, providing valuable inputs for sustainable fisheries management in the area. Here we assess the stock condition of L. atkinsoni in Southern Sulawesi, Indonesia, using the length-based spawning potential ratio model. A total of 4,887 individuals were collected from commercially small-scale fishers from January to October 2022. The total length, sex, and gonad maturity of the individuals were examined. We observed that the fish length ranged from 10.5 to 39.5 cm, with an average length of 23.3 cm. The sex ratio was equal (1:1.2) between male and female individuals. Length at first maturity and length at first capture were 23.4 and 19.6 cm, respectively. In addition, we observed a growth coefficient of 0.45/year, with an asymptotic length of 41.14 cm and natural mortality of 0.6/year. Based on these life history parameters, we observed the spawning potential ratio (SPR) value of 12%, indicating an unsustainable fishery level (SPR of < 30%). Further concerns related to the sustainability of the species and strategy to rebuild stock of the L. atkinsoni in Southern Sulawesi are of utmost importance.

The results of study of the parasites of rockfishes, Sebastes spp. collected at Oregon coast aquarium during April 6 to June 30, 2002 are presented. Six species of parasites were recovered from examination of 19 rockfishes with an incidence of infection of 42.1 %. This study investigated parasitic infestation of 7 black rock-fish, Sebastes melanops ; 3 quillback rockfish, S. maliger ; 2 yellowtail rockfish, S. flavidus ; 3 canary rockfish, S. pinniger 2 yelloweye rockfish, S. ruberrimus ; 2 tiger rockfish, S. nigrocinctus. Sebastes spp. from aquarium were found to be infested with parasites: Mycrocotyle sebastis, Megalocotyle trituba, Clavella uncinata, Anisakis simplex larvae, Contracaecum sp. larvae, Pseudoterranova decipiens larvae. Prevalence and mean intensity of rockfishes were infected respectively as follows: 21.1%, 4.0 of M. sebastis, 10.5%, 55.5 of M. trituba, 21.1%, 34.3 of A. simplex larvae, 10.5%, 15.0 of Contracaecum sp. larvae, 10.5%, 8.5 of Pseudoterranova decipiens larvae and 10.5%, 5.0 of Clavella uncinata. This study reveled that gills and gastrointestinal tracts of S. pinniger were heavily infested with M. trituba and A. simplex larvae.
