This study was carried out to obtain the biological studies on aquaculture fundamental data for the resources annexation of Miichthys miiuy in terms of the characteristics of the spawning and effect of salinity. The adults spawners in 5 years were TL $72.3\sim89.6\;cm$, BW $3,736\sim8,818\;g$ in female (n=39), TL $47.1\sim81.2\;cm$, BW $716.6\sim6,853\;g$ in male (n=24). The adults size which were suitable for a stable egg collection were $97.9\sim110.2\;cm$ in total length, $9,657\sim13,200\;g$ in body weight. Each egg contained $1\sim5$ oil globules. Also, the highest hatching rate was 96.7% at the one having an oil globules. The highest hatching rate was 87.0% at 30.0 ppt. The fastest time required from fertilization to hatching was 17 hours 24 minutes at 28.0 ppt.

To study the distribution of ichthyoplankton in Asan Bay, samples were collected with a Bongo net at 8 stations from April, July and October of 1991, and January of 1992. The dominant fish eggs included the eggs of Nibea spp., Engraulis japonica, Callionymus spp., and others. The eggs of Nibea spp. and Engraulis japonica were $97.70\%$ and $1.30\%$ of the total egg abundance, respectively. Twenty three species of fish larvae were identified. The predominant species were gobiid fishes accounting for $32.84\%$ of the all fish larvae, and followed by Ammodytes personatus($16.69\%$). Other major species were Anguilla japonica, Nibea spp., Pampus echinogaster and Engrualis japonica. These 6 taxa constituted $90.40\%$ of the total larvae collected.

The physicochemical properties and quality changes in salted and dried brown croaker products using deep seawater salt were investigated for preparation with different pretreatment, salting and drying conditions. Optimum salt concentration, salting time and drying time for product were 20% of body weight, 12 hrs at room temperature ($25{\pm}2^{\circ}C$), and 24 hrs at $30{\pm}2^{\circ}C$, respectively. The volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), peroxide value (POV), viable cell count and acid value (AV) of viscera and blade removed products were 18.9~22.4 mg%, 21.0~32.5 meq/L, and 2.3~4.4 mg/mL, $2.0\sim3.5{\times}10^3$ CFU/g, respectively and only viscera removed products were 31.2~38.1 mg%, 40~55.2 meq/L, 7.0~11.5 mg/mL, $4.1\sim5.5{\times}10^3$ CFU/g, respectively. Changes in quality of salted and dried brown croaker products were investigated during storage at room temperature and $5{\pm}2^{\circ}C$. The POV, AV and viable cell counts of salted and dried brown croaker products increased in commercial salt used and only viscera removed products compared with deep seawater salt used and viscera and blade removed products during storage time. Results in this study showed that the deep seawater salt was very effective for quality control of salted and dried brown croaker products and pretreatment method was a very important factor for preparation products. The optimum conditions for preparation of salted and dried brown croaker product were 20% of body weight for salt concentration, 12 hrs at $25{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ for salting time, and 24 hrs at $30{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ for drying time. Optimum storage time for quality maintenance was 14 days at $5{\pm}2^{\circ}C$.

The effects of water level reduction in rearing tank and fish transference during fish selection process on the stress response (hematological factors, cortisol, glucose, lactic acid and osmolality) of tank-reared olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus of large (FL), small (FS) and Japanese croaker, Nibea japonica (JC) were examined in running seawater culture system. The water level of rearing unit was lowered from 33 cm to 8 cm in the course of 2 minutes in the water level reduction experiment. The fish were removed from rearing tank (12 ton) to 450 L tank in 30 seconds after capture in the fish transference experiment, In water level reduction, the hematocrit of FL was significantly increased from $14.6\%$ at beginning to $23.5\%$ after 10 hours, However, it decreased to the value of beginning after 46 hours. Plasma cortisol concentration of FL was the highest concentration (13.7 ng/mL) after 22 hours, but it decreased to 4.0 ng/mL at the end of experiment. Cortisol concentration of FS did not show any significant difference during the experiment. The cortisol concentration of JC were significantly higher at 4 hours (282.3 ng/mL) and 22 hours (350.5 ng/mL), Glucose concentration of JC was the highest (138.0 mg/dL) at 22 hours. Lactic acid concentration was not different between experimental groups. In the fish transference experiment, red blood cell of FL was increased from $1.9\times10^6\;cell/{\mu}\;L\;to\;4.2\times10^6\;cell/{\mu}L$ in 24 hours. Blood hemoglobin of JC were significantly elevated in 24 hours. At 1 hour after transference, plasma cortisol concentrations in both fish species were increased to 95.3 ng/mL in FL and 175.5 ng/mL in JC. Glucose concentration of JC was increased to 132.5 mg/dL at 1 hour, 129.5 mg/dL at 3 hours after transference.

The estimation of the fish biomass density or the size of fish by means of the acoustic equipment is an important part in the quantitative assessment of fisheries resources. The precision of such estimates depend upon the target strength of fish and the accuracy to which the acoustic equipment has been calibrated. This paper examine the accuracy of the digital measurement system which is manufactured by way of trial in order to masure the target strength of fish, and calibrations of that system carry out with an ogive and a ellipsoid made of the aluminum and the epoxy, respectively. Furthermore, measurements of target strength for eight species of fish are made at 25, 50, 100 kHz. The accuracy of the digital measurement system is compared the theory with measurements on ogive and ellipsoid, and the agreement is reasonable. Result of establishments on the target strength to fish length and to fish weight regression obtained from the measurements are available to provide the methods of design for use in interpreting acoustic measurements of fish abundance on the experimented eight species.

Nervous necrosis virus (NNV) that causes severe mortality during seed production of red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) is known to be vertically transmitted from infected spawners. This study was conducted to produce NNV free seeds by testing spawners for NNV infection and using virus free eggs for seed production. RT-PCR analysis of 40 spawners showed 18 positives and 22 negatives. NNV was not detected from eggs obtained from the negative spawners but was detected from those obtained from the positives. NNV was not detected from culturing seawater in tanks and Chlorella spp., Brachionus plicatilis., and Brine shrimp those were provided as live feed. The survival rates of fry from NNV positive and negative spawners were 80% and 85%, respectively by two weeks after hatching. The mortality increased from 25days after hatching and the final survival rate of seeds from NNV positive and negative spawners were 0% and 18.3%, respectively on 41 days after hatching. These results suggested that virus free red drum seeds can be obtained by using virus-free spawners.

We describe early morphological development in laboratory-reared specimens of the brown croaker, Miichthys miiuy, in relation to fin differentiation, head dimensions, and squamation. From the yolk sac stage to the flexion larval stage (a period of 12 days following hatching, at which time the larvae were <4.2 mm in total length; TL) we observed the presence of a fin-fold around the body, while the caudal fin appeared rounded and lacked scales. Rays developed in the dorsal, anal, and pectoral fins in a process that was almost complete in larvae 12 days, while ray segmentation occurred between 26 and 29 days of age. Elongation of the middle rays of the caudal fin was initiated at 32 days, and the rays were remarkably elongated by 37 days. By 68 days the caudal fin was lanceolated (50.7 mm TL). Scales began to develop from the midlateral lines of the caudal peduncle at 9.1mm TL (28 days), eventually encompassing the entire operculum (22.1 mm TL; 44 days). The head dimensions were largely stabilized at >12 mm TL (30 day).

순환여과 시스템에서 사육어가 먹이를 섭취한 후 사육수 중에 배설하는 암모니아는 생물 여과조에서 질산화과정에 의해 독성이 적은 질산염으로 축적되는데, 이러한 질산염도 고농도로 축적되면 어류의 성장에 영향을 미치게 된다. 이 실험에서는 생물여과조에 탈질 시스템을 장치하여 효과적인 질산염 제거(Arbia and van Rijn, 1995; Whitson et al., 1993)를 위한 탈질 조건별 사육수질변화 및 이에 따른 실험어인 조피볼락, Sebastes schlegeli 및 큰민어, Nibea japonica의 성장에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다.
