Interactions of both feminizing and masculinizing chemicals inducing imposex in gastropod were investigated with a long-term exposure experiment. Imposex-free rock shell(Thais-clavigera)was exposed to TBT and other antagonistic chemicals (nonylphenol and DDT), P450 inducer (phenobarbital) and natural sex hormone (estrogen) mixtures for 60 days. None of imposexed-females were found in control, sham (ethanol) and testosterone exposure group, on the other hand imposex was induced in the TBT and all the TBT+antagonist mixture groups. After 60-day exposure, frequency of imposexed-female ranged from 31-68%. Female mean penis length (FMPL) of imposexed-female ranged from 0.87-2.58 mm, and relative penis length indices were from 7.2 to 21.2%. However, the degrees of imposex were different among the exposure groups. The FMPLS of three exposure groups (TBT+estrogen, + DDT and +nonylphe- not) were less than that of the TBT exposure group. Ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activities in gastropod decreased in the TBT and all the TBT+antagonist ekposure groups compared to the control group. A negative correlation was abtained between TBT body residue and EROD activity, while a positive relationship was obtained between 737 body residue and the degree of imposex except for the TBT +DDT exposure group. Although 737 concentration was relatively high in the TBT+DDT exposure group, the TBT +DDT exposure group demonstrated low EROD activity and low degree of imposex. These results indicate that a certain antagonistic effect of DDT occurred in induction of imposex by TBT.

The effects of the non-steroidal ecdysteroid agonist tebufenozide on larvae of C. faviplumus and C. riparius were tested in the laboratory. In the most treatments it reached a statistically significant difference from the control condition. As the concentration of tebufenozide was increased, a relatively larger proportion of the observed mortality was associated with the metamorphosis and molting process. Also, the larval mortality of the first larvae was higher than the fourth-instar larvae in C. riparius. In terms of development, the effects of tebufenozide were delayed growth stage in relatively lower concentration such as 10
$\mu\textrm{g}$ /L treatments. Based on the mortality, the susceptibility followed the first-instar C. riparius > the fourth-instar C. flaviplumus > the fourth-instal C. riparius. The morphological effects showed that the first and second segments of body of exposed larvae with tebufenozide expanded slowly and not made a complete cephalothorax of pupae during long times or days. And the head capsule slipped down and forward, revealing a fragile and non-pigmented, unsclerotized new head capsule. There was obvious significant difference in the male/female ratio in contaminated fourth larvae of C. riparius. Also, due to the different emergence periods of male/female in low insecticide concentrations, mating chances or opportunities of insects should be decreased. Accordingly, ecological strategies for keeping of sustainable populations should be disrupted. -
Relationships between accumulations of endocrine disruptors and abnormalities in the reproductive organs in the adult male striped field mice, Apodemus agrarius, were reviewed. High levels of phenolic compounds were detected in the mice collected at an agricultural village in Gaduck island and at a place having a sewage problem in Samdong-myeon, Namhae. High levels of organo tin compounds were found in the mice collected at Jiri Mt. a tourist resort. Considerably high levels of phenolic or organo tin compounds were detected in mice with shrunken reproductive organs accounting for 14∼42% of the mice examined in each area, which suggests that the abnormality of reproductive organs may be induced by the endocrine disruptors. This hypothesis is strongly supported by histological observations of shrunken reproductive organs, such as necrosis of testicular germ and epithelial cells. This was found not only in the mice with shrunken reproductive organs but also in the mice with enlarged reproductive organs, both had accumulated high levels of endocrine disruptors in general.

Mercury, one of the most diffused and hazardous organ-specific environmental contaminants, exists in a wide variety of physical and chemical states. Although the reports indicate that the mercury induces a deleterious damage, little has been known from the investigations of its effects in living organisms. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of mercury chloride and ionizing radiation. Prepubertal male F344 rats were administered mercury chloride in drinking water throughout the experimental period. Two weeks after whole body irradiation, organs were collected to analyze the induced injury. Serum levels of GOT, GPT, ALP, and LDH were checked in the experimental groups and the hematological analysis was accomplished in plasma. In conclusion, the target organ of mercury chloride seems to be urinary organs and the pattern of damage induced by mercury differs from that by irradiation.

The possibility of using the alkaline protocol of the single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) assay as a method for detecting induced DNA damage has been studied for six major plants. The EMS was applied as a model genotoxic agent on young excised leaves of the tested crops for 18 h at 26
$^{\circ}C$ in the dark. With increasing concentrations of 0 to 10 mM EMS, the DNA damage, expressed by the averaged median tail moment values, significantly increased in nuclei of all plants studied. As the results, no correlation between the diameter of nuclei and sensitivity to EMS treatment was observed. The data obtained demonstrate the feasibility of using the SCGE assay for detecting induced DNA damage in plants. -
The antioxidative effects of the extracts from Salicornia herbacea and Ixeris dentata were analyzed with 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). The RC
$_{80}$ of the ethanol-extract from I. dentata was 32.26$\mu\textrm{g}$ /$m\ell$ , while the RC$_{80}$ of ascorbic acid and glutathione, well-known antioxidants were 14.16 and 64.69$\mu\textrm{g}$ /$m\ell$ , respectively. However, in the case of the ethanol-extract from S. herbacea it was 108.29$\mu\textrm{g}$ /$m\ell$ . The cell viability in the group treated with the extracts from I. dentata leaves increased by 174% compared with the control 24 hr after irradiation. On the whole, the ethanol extracts resulted in a higher scavenging activity than the water extracts. Especially, the ethanol-extract from I. dentata leaves had the highest activity among all the extracts studied. It is suggested that S. herbacea and I. dentata are useful source materials for nutraceutical and pharmaceutical applications.ons. -
국내의 대부분 도시하천에 우점하여 나타나는 깔따구속(Chironomus)은 국내에 밝혀진 깔따구과(Chironomidae)중에서 가장 다양한 종다양성을 보이며 개체가 상대적으로 크고 사육이 용이하여 생태학, 독성학 및 분자유전학적 재료로 널리 쓰이고 있다. 그러나 깔따구속 각 종간의 성충 및 유충의 형태적 유사성으로 인하여 많은 분류학적 어려움을 안고 있다. 특히 국내에 분포하는 노랑털깔따구(C. flaviplumus)와 요시마쓰 깔따구(C. yoshimatsui)는 성충과 유충에 있어서 많은 변이가 나타나 여러 문헌에서 혼동되어 쓰이고 있는 실정이므로 그들의 분류가 시급한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 전형적인 한국의 도시하천인 서울시 중랑천을 대상으로 그곳에 우점하는 장수깔따구(C. plumosus), 구슬등무늬깔따구(C. circumdatus), 등깔따구(C. dorsalis), 안개무늬깔따구(C. kiiensis), 요시마쯔깔따구의 형태적 유사성 및 차이점을 비교하였다. 채집된 요시마쯔깔따구는 배무늬 및 생식기 형태에서 다양한 변이를 보였으며, Wing length 2.77
$\pm$ 0.17mm (2.53-2.94), Leg ratio(L.R.)가 1.60$\pm$ 0.05, Antenna ratio(A.R.) 2.84土0.10의 값을 나타냈다. 일부 개체는 A.R.이 3.35로 국내산 노랑털깔따구(A.R. 3.50$\pm$ 0.11, Ree & Kim, 1981)와 혼란될 수 있으나 이는 요시마쯔깔따구 군집내의 변이로 생각된다. 국내에 기록된 요시마쯔깔따구와 노랑털깔따구는 일본산 요시마쯔깔따구와 노랑털깔 따구가 A.R.값이 각각 3.1과 4.0(Sasa, 1978)으로 구별되는 것과 달리 A.R.에서 큰 차이가 나타나지 않고 배무늬 및 생식기 형태의 변이 폭이 크게 나타나므로 앞으로 전국적인 지역에 분포하는 상기 두 종의 개체군에 대한 비교 연구가 필요하다. -
In round numbers the 100 strains of entomopathogenic nematodes were isolated through the investigation of cultivated including the ginseng forming cultivated and forest soil samples by silkworm trap. The 28 strains of nematodes were selected among the isolated entomopathogenic nematodes that were confirmed the pathogenicity against Holotrichia morosa, Hoiotrichia diomphalia and Ectinus sericeus, the pest of korean ginseng and silkworm. Pathogenicity of the 2025, 2027, 2028, 2034, 2039 and 2057 strains was excellent. Selected entomopathogenic nematodes are classified of two species by morphologiacl and molecular studies, which were Sterinernma carpocapsae sp. and Diplogaster lethier sp.. Diagnostic characters include body length, lateral field pattern, tail shape and so on. The DNA sequences of the ITS region of rDNA shows similar to S. carpocapsae and .D. lethier. Isolated entomopathogenic nematodes were demonstrates that are quite within the realms of possibility for biological control agents of the pests of Korean Ginseng.

In this study, in order to examine whether salt and heat shock stress would alter or not contraction and relaxation of isolated rat aorta. Under anesthesia with sodium pentobarbital(50 mg Kg
$^{-1}$ i.p.), male Sprague Dawley rats weighing 300-330 g were subjected to 0, heat shock combined salt stress, where as the sham group was left at modified Krebs-bicarbonate solution. To measure contractile response of vascular ring preparation isolated from rat was determined in organ bath and was recorded on physiograph connected to isometric transducer. And the strip was checked for expression of heat shock protein(Hsps) by means of western blotting. The combination group of heat and 50 mM NaCl group increased vascular contractility, and the heat and 150 mM NaCl group decreased vascular contractility for 5 hours, and then recovered for 8 hours compared to that of control. Expressin of Hsp 70 of vascular muscle of rat aorta more increased by combination of heat and NaCl treatment than those of single treatment of heat or NaCl treatment, and vascular Hsp 70 showed a little decrease at 8 hours compared at 5 hours. These result indicate that mixed environmental stress either increased or decreased in vascular contractility by combination of heat and NaCl concentration. -
Community structure of macrobenthos was studied on Angol clam farming ground of Chinhae Bay in the southern coast of Korea. Macrobenthos samples were collected monthly using a quadrate at each station from March 1998. Macrobenthos samples were seived by 1.0mm mesh seive. Mean grain size was 0.267 mm. A total of 111 macrobenthos species were sampled with a mean density of 1,651ind/m
$^2$ and biomass of 1466.7wwt.g/m$^2$ . Annelida was density-dominant faunal group with a mean density of 818ind/m$^2$ , comprising of 49.6% of the total density of the macrobenthos. It was followed by Mollusca with 660ind/m$^2$ (40.0%). Mollusca was biomass-dominant faunal group. Major dominant species in the number of individual were Ruditapes philippinarum (375ind/m$^2$ ), Batillaria cumingi (208ind/m$^2$ ), Cirrformia tentaculata (167ind/m$^2$ ), Ceratonereis erithraeensis (151ind/m$^2$ ), Capitella capitata (111ind/m$^2$ ) and Sigambra tentaculata (91ind/m$^2$ ). Major dominant species in the biomass were Ruditapes philippinarum (1156.6wwt.g/m$^2$ ), Batillaria cumingi (111.0wwt.g/m$^2$ ) and Cyclina sinenis (106.2wwt.g/m$^2$ ). The species diversity was increased gradually during the study period. Increasing of species diversity was due to not only increasing of number of species but also decreasing of dominance of some polycheates. Contents of silt-clay was increased gradually in the intertidal zone. -
서울의 대표적 도시하천인 중랑천의 수질 변화에 따른 어류군집의 장기적 변동과 군집의 안정성에 대해 1990년부터 2001년까지 조사하였다. 중랑천은 1980년대와 1990년대초까지는 수질악화, 수변대 훼손으로 물고기가 서식하지 못하였으나 1990년대 초반이후의 수질개선으로 잉어 및 붕어와 같이 오염에 강한 종들부터 서식하기 시작하여 현재까지 18종의 서식이 확인되고 있다. 연도별 출현종수는 1990년에는 어류의 서식을 확인할 수 없었으며, 1996년 6종, 1998년 9종, 2000년 11종, 2001년 14종으로 증가하는 추세다. 그러나 출현종 및 개체수 증가에 따라 갈수기인 봄철과 이른 여름철에는 산란장소를 찾는 잉어, 붕어 등이 한강에서 중랑천으로 대거 이동하는 과정에서 대량폐사가 발생하기도 하였다. 2000년 4월 및 6월, 2001년 6월에는 중랑하수처리장 하류와 수중보 정체구역에서 소량의 소나기성 강우 이후 발생한 일시적 용존산소 고갈로 대량의 잉어류폐사가 발생하였다. 수질사고 이후, 수중보 및 하상 저니 등에 관련된 중랑천 생태계의 구조와 기능에 대해 많은 연구와 개선이 이루어졌으나 본래의 자연성을 아직까지 회복하지 못하고 있다. 특히 중랑천은 2005년 9월에 하천 복원이 완료되는 청계천의 한강어류 이동통로 역활이 중요시되고 있는 하천이다.

Spatial distribution of phytoplankton was investigated in the southwestern sea of Korea in May 2000 in terms of phytohydrography. The sampling was done at the 0m, 30m, 50m of 15 selected stations, and permanent slides of each samples were prepared by QPS method for quantitative and qualitative analyses. Phytoplankton standing crops ranged from 3.23
${\times}$ 10$\^$ -4/ to 1.09${\times}$ 10$\^$ -7/ cellsㆍ$\ell$ $\^$ -1/ in the study area. Dominant species comprised of 9 diatoms and 2 phytoflagellates, showing higher dominance of diatom and most predominance of Skeletonema costatum in all layers of most stations. Phytohydrographic results indicate that the study area might be divided into 4 categories, that is, I area is designated as neritic area where occurrence of terrestrial and coastal species is frequent, II area as intermediate area, III area as offshore area where oceanic species dominate, and IV area as other's. Especially in the II area, Skeletonema costatum was most predominant at both surface and 30m layer in most stations and represent an characteristic of northward expansion with spring massive bloom. -

Tannic acid (0.5mg/ml, 1.0mg/ml, 2.0mg/ml)와 카드뮴(20mg/kg)을 마우스에 경구 투여한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. Tannic acid와 카드뮴을 투여한 마우스의 증체량과 음수소비량에 변화가 있었으나, 카드뮴투여에 의한 변화는 tannic acid투여에 의하여 감소되었다. 2. 카드뮴투여에 의하여 간장의 상대중량과 뇌 상대중량이 대조군에 비하여 유의한 변화가 있었으며, tannic acid 1.0mg/ml 투여군에서는 간장의 상대중량, 폐장의 상대중량, 흉선의 상대중량도 유의하게 변화하였다. (P < 0.05) 3. Hemoglobin contents, packed cell volume, platelet count, neutrophill count 등의 혈액학적인 변화는 대조군에 비하여 카드뮴투여군에서 유의한 변화가 인정되었다. 그러나, 이러한 유의한 변화가 tannic acid를 동시 투여한 군에서는 나타나지 않았다. 4. 카드뮴을 투여한 군에서는 혈청학적 변화(ALT, AST, BUN와 creatinine)가 있었으나 tannic acid 0.5, 1.0, 2.0mg/ml을 동시투여한 군에서는 회복되는 경향이 나타났다. 위의 결과로 미루어 카드뮴 투여에 의한 독성이 tannic acid을 2.0 mg/ml/day 이상 4주간 투여하였을 때 경감효과가 나타날 수 있었다. 그러나, 카드뮴과 같은 중금속의 독성에 tannic acid가 어떻게 경감효과를 나타내는지에 관한 작용기전의 연구가 더 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

The genus Paracalanus Boeck, 1864 dominate zooplankton communities in waters off Korean peninsula. Zooplankton samples collected from four waters (Uljin, Hadong, Youngkwang, Cheju) were sorted for specimens belonging to the genus Paracalanus. Paracalanus sp. regarded to p. paMus or p. indicus were examined. Body of male has cephalosome dorsal hump (CDH). Urosomites have four segments in female and five segments in male. In male, antennule is symmetry and fused without geniculation. The male antennule carries more aesthetascs than those in female antennule. Female P1-P4 is similar to those of male in seta and spine formular. Spinules on surface of legs are different each other. The female P5 is symmetrical, and composed of 2 segment. In male, it is aymmetrical and left leg composed of 5 segments, right leg 2-segmented. Male found patch of fine spinule on terminal inner surface of outer process on fifth segment. Sexual dimorphism appear saliently in mouth appendages. Mandible lacks of gnathobase; maxillule is apparently reduced; maxilla degrades it i]l female and remains vestiges between maxillule and maxilliped; maxilliped terminal part indistinctly articulated and carrying behind three strong plumose setae. With the absence of gnathobase in male, we conclude that male Paracalanus sp. does not feed.

The goals of this study is to elucidate life cycle and to detect genetic differences within a single species of Heterosigma akashiwo. To elucidate life cycle of H. akashiwo, have to study of benthic stage and vegetative cell. So we studied identification of H. akashiwo cyst. The relative contents of DNA in nuclei were determined in Heterosigma akashiwo. Different stages of the life history were obtained from culture and natural sediments, and examined by microfluorometry after staining with the DNA-specific fluorochrome 4'-6-dianudubi-2-phenylindole(DAPI). Large cells mainly in exponensial stage, while small cell, pre-encystment cells(\ulcorner\ulcorner), showed in the end of the late growth stage. Type of DNA content showed the different with growth stage. Usually the small cell has the high level of IOD.
