The reproductive ecology and the early life history of Macropodus chinensis were investigated in aquarium. Mature male made the bubble nest and spawned with wrapping the female and reverse posture. The parental male protected the offspring until the larvae depart the bubble nest. Egg productivity and egg hatching rate were the highest at water temperature in $28^{\circ}C$ and $26^{\circ}C$ respectivity than any other artificial temperature. The eggs were buoyant, globular and 0.95${\sim}$1.05 mm in diameter. Cleavage was progressed at intervals of 15 minutes. Eggs hatched in 42${\sim}$44hours after fertilization and the newly hatched larvae were 3.0${\sim}$3.2 mm in total length. The lawae were 4.5${\sim}$5.4 mm in 4${\sim}$5 days after hatching and fed on the food with dispersion from the nest. In 40${\sim}$45 days after hatching, all fin rays completely developed, and juveniles reached 18.2${\sim}$23.5 mm in total length. In 90${\sim}$110 days after hatching, body from of young fishes were similar to adult with 37.4${\sim}$48.2 mm and represented secondary sexual characters longer than 45.0 mm in total length, and about 120 days, fishes began spawning(water temperature for ontogenesis: $26.0{\pm} 1^{\circ}C$).

This study was carried out to evaluate environmental and ecological characteristics of natural habitat for cultivation of Epimedium koreanum. Habitat of E. koreanum was the slope foot of mountain descending gradually toward mostly northwest from top of mountain with slope of $2{\sim}20%$ and the altitude ranged from 60 to 400m above the sea level. Some physiochemical characteristics of habitat soil were as follows: pH, $4.1{\sim}5.8$, organic matters content, $4.9{\sim}6.6%$ and cation exchange capacity, $14.8{\sim}34.3\;me/100g$ soil, respectively. Habitats were shaded by deciduous broad-leaved tree mainly, and compared with those of naked area, relative photon flux density was $3.5{\sim}13.1%$ and relative luminance was $3.3{\sim}11.9%$ due to shading. Air temperature of habitat under shade was $4.3{\sim}6.5^{\circ}C$ lower than that of naked area. Habitat soil temperature was lower than that of naked area but temperature range was smaller than that of naked area. E. koreanum plants were growing with semishading plants under shade of tree leaf. From investigation of natural characteristics of habitat, it was concluded that E. koreanum plant would grow at place with a little change in temperature and moisture of soil which was caused by shading and mulching with litterfall of broad-leaved tree.

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of buckwheat powder on bread quality. Different breads were prepared with additions of 0%, 15%, 30%, and 45% buckwheat powder in place of wheat flour. The weights of the breads with buckwheat powder were in the range of 430.3 - 441.5 g, and the control was 421.3g. The volumes of the breads prepared with 15%, 30%, and 45% buckwheat powder were 2432.3 mL, 2219.3 mL, and 2090.8 mL, respectively. The water absorption rates of the breads with added buckwheat powder increased with the addition of buckwheat powder. Hardness increased with the addition of buckwheat powder, and was highest for the bread made with 45% buckwheat powder. The overall sensory quality of the buckwheat powder bread, which was tested by color and taste, was better than that of the control; specifically, the quality of the 30% buckwheat powder bread was the best.

We evaluated changes in the microbiological quality and safety of food items (vegetables, seaweed, and processed food) supplied to elementary school food services to evaluate the distribution/delivery system. Pretreated vegetables, seaweed, and processed food were delivered to schools in refrigerated (${\leq}10^{\circ}C$) vans that made several delivery stops before arriving at the schools. During the distribution stage, total plate and coliforms counts were: bellflower roots $7.6{\times}10^5-6.7{\times}10^6$ and $5.8{\times}10^4-5.2{\times}10^5$ CFU/g; blanched bracken $4.5{\times}10^3-2.1{\times}10^5$, $5.0{\times}10^3-1{\times}10^4$ CFU/g; onion $1.2{\times}10^4-1.4{\times}10^4$, $5.0{\times}10$ CFU/g; soybean sprouts $9.6{\times}10^4-6.3{\times}10^7$ and $1.1{\times}10^3-1.2{\times}10^7$ CFU/g; soybean curd < $10-9.7{\times}10^5$ and < $10-2.3{\times}10^5$ CFU/g; and starch jelly < $10-3.8{\times}10^3$ and <10 CFU/g.

As a part of basic investigation for utilizing by-products derived from marine food processing more effectively as a food source, lipid contents, fatty acid compositions and lipid compositions in viscera and head of conger eel and hair tail, viscera of mackerel pike, and squids caught off Newzealand and off Falkland island were determined. The lipid contents in marine by-products showed $40.5{\sim}48.0%$ on a dry weight basis and it consisted of $92.1{\sim}99.0%$ neutral lipid and $1.0{\sim}7.9%$ polar lipid such as phospholipid and glycolipid. The neutral lipids mainly consisted of triglyceride$(50.0{\sim}69.9%)$ and had free fatty acid, free sterol, esterified sterol and hydrocarbon, diglyceride, and monoglyceride in less quantity. Squid viscera oil showed higher content in polyenes such as 20:5 and 22:6 than by-product oil derived from fish processing. Viscera oil of squid caught off Newzealand(21.1%) was the highest on DHA composition, followed by that of squid caught off Falkland island(16.3%), hair tail by-product oil(13.9%), conger eel by-product oil(11.7%) and mackerel pike by-product oil(10.7%), in the order named. The major fatty acids in total lipid and neutral lipid of byproducts were generally 16:0, 18: 1n-9, 20:5n-3 and 22:6n-3.
