A comparative study on the effect of rearing depths at 2 (surface) and 5 (bottom) m on growth of the scallop was undertaken in Nam-myeon coastal area during June to December, 1997. There were very little difference in the levels of temperature (12.2 ~24.5$^{\circ}C$), salinity (27.3 ~33.1$\textperthousand) and dissolved oxygen (>7.05 mg/l) at a given month. But the chlorophyll level fluctuated between 1.2 and 11.0 $\mu g/l$ at the surface but below 2 $\mu g/l$ at the bosom. Highest phytoplankton density occurred in August and Ceratium dominated it during the period from June to October. Mean growth of the bay scallop at surface and bottom for the six months rearing period was as follows; 0.19 and 0.16 mm/day for shell height, and 0.16 and 0.12 g/day for total weight. Maximum predicted values of shell height calculated by von Bertalanffy growth model were 52.62 mm for the surface and 46.73 mm for the bottom reared scallop. Survival of the scallop was higher (80 %) for the surface group than that at the bottom (60%).

Age, annual growth pattern, and other ecologically important observations are reporting from the analysis of annual growth annuli of the sun and moon scallop, Amusium japonicum. Field survey made from 1993 to 1994 indicated that the sun and moon scallops are mostly distributed along the southern coast of Cheju-do, especially around the Sogwipo area. They inhabit on muddy sand bottom, at depth between 30 and 40 m where water temperature varies from 14 to $23^{\circ}C$ annually. The gonadal analysis indicated that the spawning mostly occurs during October and December and they exhibit multiple spawning peaks. The formation of annual growth annuli was found to be related with their spawning period. The shell growth on A. japonium japonicum appeared that their shell growth rate is comparatively faster than that of other scallops : 1. japonium japonicum reaches 6.28 cm in shell hight at the first year and 9.07 cm at the second year. The growth rate of gonadal somatic tissue was also found to be faster than growth rates of other scallops. One year old scallops weigh about 18.8 g, two and three year old scallops weigh 60 and 102.4 g. Based upon these observations, it is concluded that A. japonium japonicum can be a valuable species for aquaculture development due to their rapid growth.

To evaluate the aquaculture potential of a subtrophic noble scallop, Chlamys nobilis in Korean waters, nursery growth of the species was studied on two remote Jeju coasts, Jigwido and Ongpori. The early growth performance of the first 60 days after settlement was expressed as: $SL=0.1664e^{0.0579x}$ ($r^2=0.924$), where x stands for days after settlement and SL for shell length. The early spats sized 1 mm in average shell length became $4.1{\pm}0.8\;mm$ after a month of nursery culture, thereafter grew to $13.0{\pm}1.9$, $23.1{\pm}3.1$, $30.3{\pm}4.3$, and $33.6{\pm}5.2\;mm$ for consecutive 4 months in Jigwido coastal area. Mean growth gains (mean daily gains in parenthesis) were $76.7{\pm}7.7$ ($165.6{\mu}m$), $73.3{\pm}7.3$ ($154.0{\mu}m$), $69.4{\pm}8.4$ ($140.0{\mu}m$), and $68.7{\pm}8.5\;mm$ ($137.4{\mu}m$), in depths of 5, 10, 15, and 20 m, respectively. The growth rate was significantly decreased as cultured in deeper place (p < 0.05). As culturing density was higher, growth performance of the scallop was decreased in both locations. Overall, in our preliminary study, the growth performance of scallop in Korean waters was not better than that in Japan, but it seems to be worth doing further study for successful introduction to Korean waters.

To study the effect of cold water irrigation at the reproductive growth stage of rice plants on several growth characters related to source and sink and nutrient uptake, the present experiment was carried out under the different conditions of water temperature and water depth. Deep irrigation with normal temperature water increased culm length, panicle length and panicle exsertion but with cold water resulted adversely. Most sensi-tive response in 5 cm water-depth appeared at reduction division stage and in 20 cm depth at panicle formation stage. Secondary branches and spikelets were increased in number by deep irrigation with normal temperature water, but decreased and degenerated by deep irrigation with cold water at panicle formation stage resulting in high spikelet sterility and low grain filling. Deep irrigation with normal temperature water increased the contents of total nitrogen, phosphate, potassium and silicate in leaf blades, branches and chaff. However, cold water irrigation reduced the uptake of phosphate, potassium and silicate except nitrogen particularly in deep irrigation. Ratios of phosphate, potassium and silicate to total nitrogen content were decreased by cold water irrigation. Branches seemed to have higher requirements for phosphate, potassium and silicate than leaf blades and chaff. Silicate-to-total nitrogen ratio in leaf blades, branches and chaff had significant correlations with yield showing closer relationship between yield and the ratio of silicate to total nitrogen in branches in particu-lar.

To investigate the relationship between the effect of potassium basal and top dressing amount on rice plant under the limed condition, a pot experiment was conducted with Milyang 21, rice variety. Growing status, yield components and chemical component of rice, plant were determined and soils were analyzed along with the growing stages and obtained results are as follows. 1. Control treatment, without lime application shows a good vegetative growth as compared with lime treated one. However grain yield was higher in lime treated pot when potassium was applied as basal and top dressing. 2. There was no big difference between potassium applied and control treatment on growing status of nice plant until 20 days after transplanting. However in case of lime treated pot big difference were observed 20 days after transplanting resulting lower grain yield as compared with control treatment. This trend were severe in a lime treated treatment. 3. In control treatment, potassium basal dressing shows higher grain yield as increase the amount of basal dressing and the highest yield obtained in all basal potassium application treatment. However in case of lime treated pot when two-third of potassium were applied as basal dressing, potassium content of rice became lower at reproductive stage and resulted lower yield. When we applied all the potassium as a basal dressing, there were no differences as compared with control treatment in terms of grain yield. 4. The soil condition that affects potassium absorption disorder in rice plant such as unlimed condition, potassium application should be done as a basal dressing. However in limed condition that potassium absorption disorder occurs scarcely, and potassium content exists unsufficient amount in soil, large amount of potassium as basal dressing and the rest as top dressing are recommended. 5. The higher content of potassium in rice plant at the reproductive growing stage results heavier tillers as compared with lower one so that heavier tillers produce more grain yield. 6. At vigorous growing stage there was a positive correlation between electric conductivity of soil and amount of potasium absorbed by rice plant. This fact suggests that to obtain higher yield large amount of potassium top dressing at late of vegetative growing stage are necessary so that the content of potassium in rice plant will increase and results higher yield.

NIFS conducted a feasibility study on the bay scallop Argopecten irradians aquaculture in the test site of Dongsanri, Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do in June 2015. The transplantation for the test was also carried out in June. The average shell length was $5.79{\pm}0.6mm$ at the time, $15.83{\pm}0.8mm$ in July, $39.40{\pm}0.7mm$ in September, $55.72{\pm}5.8mm$ in November and $59.67{\pm}1.7mm$ in December. At the time of transplantation, the average shell height was $6.06{\pm}0.7mm$, and it grew to $16.40{\pm}0.9mm$ in July, $53.16{\pm}5.2mm$ in November and $55.80{\pm}2.9mm$ in December. Total weight was $0.78{\pm}0.5g$ in July but increased to $24.25{\pm}4.2g$ in November and $26.06{\pm}4.3g$ in December. The daily growth rate of shell length(DGR) was 0.33 mm / day in June, 0.43 mm / day in September and 0.13 mm / day in November. DGR of weight was 0.20 g / day in June, 0.27 g / day in September, 0.06 g / day in November. The relative growth of shell length and shell height was y = 0.9132x and $R^2=0.9923$. As a result, it was proved that bay scallop aquaculture is possible in Gangwon province, the northern part of the East Sea. This will definitely increase the income of fishermen by enabling them to culture more aquaculture species than the single large Patinopecten yessoensis in the region.

Longline type aquaculture facilities in the open sea are based on the cable-buoy-weight mooring system. For their optimal design it is necessary to estimate tensions along the mooring lines including the attachment points of buoys and weights. However, the dynamic analysis is very complicated due to the nonlinear behaviors of the mooring lines and the effects of wave and current. In this paper, parametric studies for various buoy-weight cases are shown. Finite difference scheme is employed in obtaining eigenfrequencies in the frequency domain. Nonlinear hydrodynamic drag forces are equivalently linearized.

A pot experiment was conducted to study the effect of urea and ammonium nitrate on the use of soil born potassium and the yield of chinese cabbage (Brassica pekinensis, Var. Heungnong, Seoul). Results obtained are shown as follows; 1. In comparison with urea, ammonium nitrate lowered soil pH and promoted the utility of soil born potash by chinese cabbage which resulted in the increase of the yield at no potash applied cultivation. 2. Ammonium nitrate seemed to be more effective than urea on the growth of the edible part of chinese cabbage (inner leaves of cabbage) and the effect was much promoted by the addition of potash. 3. The greater the yield of edible part of cabbage, the lower the N/K ratio of dry mater. The highest yield was obtained at N/K ratio of 1.4 in 1.2-1.3 m.e/g K range of the dried cabbage.

The experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of nitrogen and potassium sources on growth and yield of strawberry 'Seolhyang' and 'Maehyang' in fertigation culture. The plant fresh and dry weight were higher in urea + potassium sulfate and ammonium sulfate + potassium sulfate as nitrogen and potassium sources than others in both varieties. But there were no significant difference among nitrogen and potassium sources in other growth characteristics, such as plant height, no. of leaf, crown diameter etc. Also, the marketable yield of fruit were higher in urea + potassium sulfate and ammonium sulfate + potassium sulfate in 'Seolhyang' than other treatments. 'Maehyang' was better in both treatments but there was no significant difference. The fruit qualities, such as total soluble solid, hardness, acidity, vitamin C content were not significant difference among the treatments. The acidity of soil was tended to decrease but EC was tended to increase highly in ammonium sulfate treatments as a nitrogen source. As above results, the urea and potassium sulfate were recommended as nitrogen and potassium sources for the fertigation culture of strawberry 'Seolhyang' and 'Maehyang'.

In order to confirm the effect of potash top dressing and to observe the effect of N, K compound fertilizers, 17-0-17, 17-0-14, and 15-0-20, specially prepared for top dressing to rice, a field experiment with rice (Oryza Sativa L., Akibare) was conducted in a poorly drained paddy field in comparison with potassium chloride. The results obtained are as follows, 1. The effect of potash top dressing to rice was so remarkable that the yield from the plots of split application of muliate potassium or compound fertilizer was significantly higher than that from the plot received no potash at all. In contrast, the plots received all the amount of potash as one dose at transplanting time showed no significant increase in yield compared with that of potash plot. 2, The effect of N, K compound fertilizer, granulated to about the size of a small bean appeared to be so slow that it gave little increase of yield when it was appiled as a top dressing at the primodial stage, but it gave an increase of yield when it was top dressed at effective tillering stage. 3, Granular N, K compound fertilizer to be top dressed at primodial stage might be prepared in small size so that the fertilizer readily go into solution when it was applied, otherwise the fertilizer should be applied eariler than the primodial stage.
