We have investigated lysozyme activity and protectivity of starry flounder, Platichthys stellatus against olive flounder pathogenic bacteria, Edwardsiella tarda, Vibrio ichthyoenteri and Streptococcus iniae in varying salinities, water temperatures and stocking density. Starry flounders were susceptible to E. tarda but not V. ichthyoenteri and S. iniae. Under low salinity condition, the lysozyme activity was decreased a little compared to the control but not significant. The physiological and immune activities were normal up to 26 ℃ culture temperature and 100% stocking density; they were compromised from 29℃ and 200%, respectively.

강도다리(Platichthys stellatus)는 분류학적으로 가자미목 강도다리속에 속하는 어류로서 우리나라 북부연안, 일본, 태평양 일대에 광범위하게 분포하며, 산란을 위해 강하류까지 거슬러 올라가는 연안정착성 어류이다. 최근 하천 및 연안의 오염으로 인하여 강도다리의 어획량이 감소하고 있어, 양식기술 개발을 위한 인위적인 어미의 성숙촉진 및 종묘생산에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 그러나 넙치류와는 달리 수컷 어미의 정액량이 적어 종묘생산시 어려움을 겪고 있는 실정이다. 암컷에 비해 수컷의 정액량이 적어 종묘생산이 어려운 어종인 뱀장어(Ohta et al., 1996)와 감성돔(Lau et al., 1996)에서는 호르몬을 투여하여 정액량을 증산시켰다는 보고가 있다.

The effects of water temperature on oxygen consumption (OC) of starry flounder Platichthys stellatus reared in seawater (SW) and freshwater (FW) was performed in closed water-recirculating system containing respiratory chamber. Fish acclimated in separate indoor tanks with SW (nine of fish used, $263.0{\pm}40.4$ g) or FW (nine of fish used, $265.8{\pm}34.8$ g) were sampled. The OC of starry flounder at $15^{\circ}C,\;20^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$ were $74.4{\pm}17.0,\;85.9{\pm}15.8,\;98.3{\pm}11.4\;mg\;O_2\;kg^{-1}hr^{-1}$ in SW and $46.7{\pm}12.0,\;63.3{\pm}7.5,\;82.6{\pm}5.3\;mg\;O_2\;kg^{-1}hr^{-1}$ in FW, respectively, showing a linear increase in OC with water temperature. The OC of fish reared in both SW and FW clear diel rhythm, with lower values at daytime and higher values in the night, in accordance with light (09:00~21:00 hr) and dark (21:00~09:00 hr) phases of the diel cycle (12L : 12D) in water temperature at $15^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$. However OC of fish reared in both SW and FW showed unclear diel rhythm with light and dark phases of the diel cycle in water temperature at $25^{\circ}C$. Starry flounder reared in FW had higher ventilation rates than those in SW, but SW had higher OC per breath than those in FW.

This study was evaluated individual growth and hematological changes of young starry flounder, using hyperpigmentation marks on the blind side of body after feeding extruded pellet (EP) and moisture pellet (MP) for 45 days. As a result, the fish grew up to $220.1{\pm}47.8g$ in the EP treatment and $224.7{\pm}42.4g$ in the MP treatment, so the weight gain was significantly higher in the MP treatment ($74.6{\pm}17.3%$) than in the EP treatment ($63.7{\pm}16.9%$) (P<0.05). Osmolalities of flounder after 45 days culture were similar between the treatments (P>0.05), showing values of $359.8{\pm}4.2mOsm\;kg^{-1}$ in the EP treatment and $358.5{\pm}6.2mOsm\;kg^{-1}$ in the MP treatment. Similarly, other blood chemistry indicators such as sodium, chloride, total protein, albumin, glucose, total cholesterol, BUN, creatinine, ammonia, triglyceride, cortisol, GOT, GPT and hematocrit showed no differences between the treatments. However, the free fatty acid concentration was significantly higher in the MP treatment than in the EP treatment (P<0.05).

1) The decrease in strength of netting twines at the twisted joint is regarded to be due mainly to tile frictional force between plied yarns, but tile rate of decresae is within $5\%$ in filament twines and 5 to $10\%$ in spun twines. 2) The variation of the twisted joint strength with the angle between the two adjacent bars draws a parabola flaying the minimum value at tile angle of $90^{\circ}$. The minimum value was revealed as about $90\%$ of the strength at the angle of $0^{\circ}$ in wet spun twiness, but regarded to hi negligibly small filament twines. 3) The knot strength is about $30{\pm}5\%$of the twisted joint strength.

Experiments were performed to find out the physico-chemical properties of milt and sperm motility in various storage conditions using starry flounder (Platichthys stellatus). The average sperm concentration and spermatocrit in stripped milt were $6.00{\pm}0.98{\times}10^8/mL\;and\;72{\pm}5$, respectively. The osmolality and pH were $337{\pm}9mmol/kg$ and $7.7{\pm}0.1$, respectively. The sperm of starry flounder was preserved with artificial seminal plasma (ASP), Stein's solution (SS) and marine fish Ringer's solution (MFRS) at $0^{\circ}C,\;2^{\circ}C,\;and\;4^{\circ}C$. The most effective condition for cold storage was SS at $0^{\circ}C$, and the preserved sperm remained motile for 30 days.

Effects of tributyltin chloride (TBTC) in vitro on mixed function oxygenase (MFO) system on liver microsome of eight marine fish species were investigated. To determine the effects on MFO system, cytochrome P45O (CYP) and cytochrome b5 con-tents, activities of two reductases (NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase and NADPH-cy-tochrome P450 reductase) and four dealkylation enzymes (EROD, PROD, MROD and ECOD) were measured in fish microsoms exposed to TBTC for 20 min. The WP content was reduced to 10% of the control group in 6 out of 8 species exposed to TBTC, whereas there was no significant change in the cytochrome bs content. the response of NAD(P)H dependant reductases depended on fish species. The dealkylation enzyme activities in microsome were also apparently inhibited by TBTC. The degree of inhibition was different among fish species and four enzymes. The EROD activities in eight species were decreased to the range of 1∼65% of control group.

Morphological characteristics of the cross-bred $F_1$ hybrid between female Paralichthys olivaceus and male Platichthys stellatus were studied. The hybrids showed common biological characteristics of both parents, but showed more morphological similarity to P. stellatus than P. olivaceusin the following biometries: higher ratios of body length to body height (56.3%), head length to snout length (20.6%), and head length to upper jaw length (34.2%). They also showed some significant biometric characteristics similar to P. stellatus, such as ratios of predorsal length (10.5%), prepectoral length (32.2%), preventral length (29.8%), and preanal length (28.0%) to body length. The hybrids had black spots on the dark brownish-green area near the eyes, and they lacked the small bony tubercles that area characteristic of Platichthys stellatus. The hybrids had unique bands: 6~20 bands on the dorsal fin and 5~10 bands on the anal fin that gradually lost their coloration towards the fin margins. The number of fin rays were 60~66 for dorsal fin, 40~51 for anal fin, 18~21 for caudal fin, and 11~12 for pectoral fin. The gills of the hybrids contained 13~18 gill rakers and 73~98 gill filaments. The vertebrae of the hybrids numbered 34~37, with 2~3 vertebrae fused from the start of the caudal vertebrae.

This paper describe on the target strengths for the dorsal and the side aspects of swimbladdered fishes, Mullet Mugil cephalus, Flounder Pleuronichthys cornutus and Rock trout Hexagrammos otakii two frequencies of 50KHz and 200KHz in the experimental water tank in order to improve the biomass estimation by the scientific fish finder. The results obtained are as follows: 1. The average of maximum target strength normalized by squared total length in cm unit are almost ranging from -70.9 dB to -66.8 dB regardless of species or frequencies. 2. The average of maximum target strength normalized by two-thirds squared body weight in g unit are almost ranging from -57.1 dB to -54.1 dB regardless of species or frequencies. 3. In comparison with target strength for 50KHz and 200KHz the former is more strong than the latter.

1) The decrease in strength of Raschel twines at Raschel joints is regarded to be due mainly to the frictional force between yarns and the unbalanced tensile distribution by the deformation of the joints. The rate of the decrease is about $13\%$ in lengthwise pull and 22 to $26\%$ in breadthwise pull. 2) The 3-course joint is less in deformation and stronger than the 2-course joint in all cases of pulls. 3) The variation of Raschel joint strength $T_R$ with the angle $\varphi$ between the adjacent bars is expressed as $T_R=T_{R0}-k\varphi$ where $T_{R0}$ is the strength at $\varphi=0^{\circ}$ and K is a constant. 4) The tensile strength ${\sigma}R$ and tile breaking energy $E_R$ of Raschel netting are given by $${\sigma}R=KN\;or\;${\sigma}R=T_RN$$ and $$E_R=AN$$ respectively, where N is the number of meshes at the pulling side, and K and A are constants. But the breaking energy of the netting is almost constant independent of tile variation of N. 5) The Raschel netting with some bars cut already breaks from tile joints of the bars next to the cut bars and its tensile strength, breaking energy, and breaking elongation decrease largily even if only one bar is in already cut state. 6) The tearing strength of Raschel netting is almost equal to the tensile strength of its single joint pulled by two bars. 7) The twisted joint is much more excellent in strength than the knot or the Raschel joint. The knot strength is 69 to $76\%$, and the Raschel joint strength is 71 to $74\%$ in lengthwise pull and 62 to $67\%$ in breadthwise pull, respectively, of the twisted joint strength.
