해수관상용으로 그 인기도가 높은 상어류는 모두가 자연에서 채집된 후 관람용 대형수조 또는 개인용 소형수조 내에서 순치 후 관상용으로 사육되고 있다. 그러나, 자연에서 채집된 대부분의 개체는 인위적인 수조 시설 내에서의 생활에 적응하는데 실패하여 결국 거의 대부분의 개체가 짧은 기간 내에 사망하게 된다. 따라서 이 연구는 인공 종묘 생산 시설에서 해수 관상용 상어류의 종묘 확보를 목적으로 실시하였다. 우리나라 제주 연안에서 채집이 비교적 용이한 까치상어 Triakis scyllium와 별상어 Cynias manazo 2종의 상어 친어를 확보하여 인공 사육 시설에서 사육하면서 수조 내에서의 자연 교미와 자연 산란에 성공하였다. 친어와 치상어의 사육관리는 자연해수를 사용하여 15~40ton 크기의 콘크리트 수조에서 사육하면서 전갱이와 같은 생사료 또는 전갱이와 어분을 주성분으로 하는 습사료를 만들어 1일 1회 급이하였다. 까치상어의 인공 종묘는 수 차례의 사산을 거듭한 끝에 2003년 5월 18일과 6월 8일 두 차례에 걸쳐서 매우 활력이 좋은 상태의 치어가 출산하였다. 별상어도 수 차례의 사산을 거듭한 끝에 2003년 5월 25일 건강한 상태의 치어를 출산시키는데 성공하였다. 지금까지 산출된 까치상어의 출산시 평균 전장은 25.70$\pm$0.88cm 평균 체중은 58.32$\pm$4.86g이었으며, 별상어의 출산시 치어의 평균 전장은 27.26$\pm$0.57cm였고 평균 체중은 55.32$\pm$1.69g로 두 종 상어의 평균 전장과 평균 체중은 유사한 경향을 보였다. 그러나, 산출 후 사육 관리 과정에서 관찰된 까치상어와 별상어의 월간 성장 중 전장을 비교한 결과, 까치상어는 1개월 전 대비 15.06%의 성장을 보였으나, 별상어는 3.15%의 성장을 보여 까치상어 보다는 별상어의 길이 성장이 느린 것을 알 수 있었다. 까치상어와 별상어의 월간 성장 중 체중을 비교한 결과에서도 까치상어는 1개월 전 대비 34.11%의 성장을 보였으나, 별상어는 2.25%의 성장을 보여 까치상어 보다는 별상어의 체중 성장이 매우 느린 것을 알 수 있었다. 출산 관리중인 까치상어와 별상어 치어의 성비를 조사한 결과, 까치상어는 ♀:♂=1:1.28, 별상어는 ♀:♂=1:2.50으로 별상어의 암 수 성비가 매우 불균형한 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 까치상어와 별상어의 암ㆍ수간 성장 차이를 조사한 결과, 까치상어와 별상어의 암ㆍ수간 성장 (전장, 체장 및 체중)에는 큰 차이가 없었다. 현재, 인공 사육 시설에서 관리중인 까치상어는 64마리이며 별상어는 7마리이다. 결국 소형의 수족관내에서 해수 관상어로서 사육하기 위한 조건으로서 너무 급격한 성장을 하는 어종인 경우에는 관상 기간이 짧아져 조기 폐기하여야 하는 단점을 감안하면 까치상어 보다는 별상어의 관상가치가 높을 것으로 판단되며, 반대로 대형 관람용 수족관의 경우에서는 별상어 보다 성장이 빠르고 운동력이 활발한 까치상어를 전시관람용으로 이용할 경우 전시효과가 높을 것으로 판단된다.

To estimate the parameters of a mathematical model of fishes' swimming behavior, the behavior in a experimental water tank was observed and analyzed using the video monitoring system. The tank was equipped with vertical circulation system, and measured $3,500L\;{\times}\;1,500B\;{\times}\;1,000H\;mm$ at flow channel and $1,200L\;{\times}\;900B\;{\times}\;500H\;mm$ at observational part. Rainbow trout, salmo gairdnerii were used as experimental fishes. Their swimming behavior in the tank was observed by the monitoring system, and the positions of every individual were checked at 0.5 second intervals by the image processing of recorded pictures for 5 minutes. The mean swimming speed calculated from the time series data of positions of every individual ranged from 2.5BL cm/sec to 2.9BL cm/sec at the stagnated flow. The mean swimming speed of 10 individuals in a school increased according to the flow speed. The mean swimming depth ranged from 17 cm to 38 cm even though it changed irregularly at the stagnated flow and gradually became stable according to the increase of flow speed. In the present study, the mean distance of individuals from wall of the tank varied from 17.6cm to 21.4cm. The mean distance between the nearest individual varied from 0.4BL cm to 0.7BL cm when 10 individuals in a school were observed. The mean dimension of fish schools became enlarged in all directions according to increase in the number of individuals, and as flow speed increased the horizontal dimension of fish schools expanded while their vertical dimension decreased.

BACKGROUND: As natural wetlands are decreased by increment of human demand, the importance of rice fields as an alternative habitat for waterbirds is well documented. However, the relationship between waterbirds use and management practice of rice fields has not been fully understood. The present study attempted to understand the changes in temporal abundance of waterbirds and their preference for habitat types in rice fields all year round. METHODS AND RESULTS: Waterbirds census were conducted in rice fields around Asan bay in Korea during April 2009-March 2010 and April 2011-March 2012. In the bird counts, the locations of the observed birds on a 1/2,500 map were recorded along with the local habitat type (paddy, ditch, levee, road). Thirty five species of waterbirds recorded in the rice fields during the survey period and three major groups (shorebirds, herons, and waterfowls) were characterized according to season and micro-habitat use. Shorebirds visited a flooded paddy for feeding during their spring migration season (April-May), and herons used the rice field as feeding sites during their breeding periods (April-October). Most waterfowls were observed in a dry paddy to feed a fallen rice seed and stubs during the winter season (September-March). Waterbird groups selectively used micro-habitats in rice field. Shorebirds and waterfowls mainly preferred at rice paddies, while herons were attracted to most habitat types. CONCLUSION(S): Rice fields supported various waterbirds all year round and waterbird communities using the rice fields were dramatically changed according to seasonal change of rice field condition.

This study was conducted to investigate the optimum condition of extraction from fronds of Osmunda japonica to increase antioxidant compounds and antioxidant activity. Powder (1 g) of lyophilized fronds were mixed with three different solvents (MeOH, 80% EtOH and water). Extraction was carried out using not only by immersion (room temp.), heating ($60^{\circ}C$) and stirring (200 rpm) for 6 h, but also by sonication in 42 kHz ultrasonic bath for 15, 30 and 45 min. Extracts were filtered, and adjusted up to 50 mL to determine contents of soluble solids, total polyphenols and total flavonoids. Antioxidant capacity was measured by radical scavenging activity of 0.15 mM DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) and 7.4 mM ABTS [2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)] radical. Among the solvents, MeOH and 80% EtOH appeared to be effective for extraction. Extract obtained from sonication in MeOH for 15 min resulted high polyphenol contents (45.15 $mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$ db) and DPPH radical scavenging activity ($RC_{50}$= 0.35 $mg{\cdot}mL^{-1}$). The highest flavonoid contents was obtained from immersion or heating extraction with MeOH (38.10~38.10 $mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$ db). ABTS radical scavenging was high in same extraction with 80% EtOH ($RC_{50}$= 0.21~0.22 $mg{\cdot}mL^{-1}$). Altogether, our results indicate that the extraction using ultrasonic bath with MeOH as a solvent (for 15~30 minutes) was the most effective way not only for increasing various antioxidant activities but also for saving labor and time in case of fronds of Osmunda japonica.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different substrates in rearing tank on growth and body composition of juvenile sea cucumber Apostichophus japonicus. Sea cucumber (average weight 3.6) were randomly distributed at a density of 10 juvenile per tank into nine tanks providing three different substrates including free-substrates, sand and wave-shaped plastic sheet as (shelter). Juveniles were fed with a commercial feed once in every 2 days for 8 weeks. At the end of the experiment, survival of sea cucumber was not affected by the presence of substrates (P>0.05). Weight gain and specific growth rate of sea cucumber reared in the tanks with sand were significantly higher than those of sea cucumber reared in the tanks with shelter and without substrate (P<0.05). Crude protein and crude lipid of whole body in sea cucumber reared in free-substrate tanks were significantly higher than those of juvenile reared in the tanks with other substrates (P<0.05). Higher ash content was obtained in sea cucumber reared in the tanks with sand compared to that of juvenile reared in the tanks with other substrates (P<0.05). The results of this study suggest that growth and proximate composition of whole body of sea cucumber was significantly affected by substrates. Among materials tested, sand may be a proper substrate for sea cucumber culture.

This study was undertaken to develop a cascade-type continuous culture system (CCCS) that combines both ICT and biotechnology (BT), for the mass production of microalgae. This system is capable of maintaining the essential culture conditions of pH, temperature, carbon dioxide, and illuminance control, which are key parameters for the growth of microalgae, and is economical for producing microalgae regardless of the season or location. It has the added advantage of providing stable and high productivity. In the current study, this system was applied to culture microalgae for 71 days, with subsequent analysis of the experimental data. The initial O.D. of the culture measured from incubator 1 was 0.006. On the 71st day of culture, the O.D.s obtained were 0.399 (incubator 1), 0.961 (incubator 2), 0.795 (incubator 3), and 0.438 (incubator 4), thereby confirming the establishment of continuous culture. Thus, we present a smart-farm based on ISMC (in-situ monitoring and control) for a mass culture method. We believe that this developed technology is suitable for commercialization, and has the potential to be applied to hydroponics-based cultivation of microalgae and cultivation of high-value-added medicinal plants as well as other plants used in functional foods, cosmetics, and medical materials.

Recently, large-scale offshore and coastal structures have been constructed owing to the increasing interest in eco-friendly energy development. To achieve this, precise simulations of waves are necessary to ensure the safe operations of marine structures. Several experiments are required in the field to understand the offshore wave; however, in terms of scale, it is difficult to control variables, and the cost is significant. In this study, numerical waves under various wave conditions are produced using a piston-type wavemaker, and the produced wave profiles are verified by comparing with the results from a numerical wave tank (NWT) modeled using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method and theoretical equations. To minimize the effect by the reflected wave, a mass-weighted damping zone is set at the right end of the NWT, and therefore, stable and uniform waves are simulated. The waves are generated using the linear and Stokes wave theories, and it is observed that the numerical wave profiles calculated by the Stokes wave theory yield high accuracy. When the relative depth is smaller than two, the results show good agreement irrespective of the wave steepness. However, when the relative depth and wave steepness are larger than 2 and 0.04, respectively, the errors are negligible if the measurement position is close to the excitation plate. However, the error is 10% or larger if the measurement position is away from the excitation location. Applicable target wave ranges are confirmed through various case studies.

Waterbirds were surveyed once a week from Oct. 2015 to Apr. 2016 to study the conditions of temperature of staying waterbirds on Wonju-Stream. The population staying on Wonju-Stream was in inverse proportion to the temperature change; birds increased as the temperature went down, and showed the highest peak counts on the 16th(27-Jan) survey, which was the lowest in temperature. decreasing as the temperature rose. The total population of Wonju River water birds increased with increasing freezing rate in proportion to the freezing rate of nearby reservoirs and tributaries. To clarify the relation of the numbers of the birds to temperature fluctuation, the correlation of the first period of wintering (1st~16th) and that of the later period(17th~27th) as well as the whole period was surveyed, based on the 16th which was the lowest in temperature. While most wintering waterbirds showed a negative correlation to the temperature, Egretta garzetta, Phalacrocorax carbo, and Ardea cinerea were positive in temperature relativity. Anas poecilorhyncha was in the highest relation to temperature fluctuation showing (7D/H3A(r=-0.960, P<0.000000001)) at 1-16 correlation(Cor.), with the whole wintering waterbird species showing the maximum correlation at 4D/LA in the every correlation(1~27Cor.(r=-0.942, P<0.01), 1~16Cor.(r=-0.947, P<0.01), 16~27Cor.(r=-0.958, P<0.01)). Each waterbird showed the correlation to the temperature variation(AT, HT, LT) and th duration(1D~7D) depending on the species differently. Most species demonstrated a bigger correlation to the lowest temperature rather than to the highest temperature. During the first half period of the wintering with the temperature falling it showed a high correlation to the temperature at the duration of 4D~7D, While it was for D1~D3 during the next half period.

Boring caracteristics, boring rate, and predation, rates on the valves of the seed and adult clams of Meretrix petechialis by Glossaulax didyma didyma in the shellfish aquafarm and the indoor rearing aquarium were investigated by various morphometric data. The investigations were carried out from June to September, 2007. The morphology of drilled holes on the valves of M. petechialis showed the crater type as seen in the spats of Ruditapes philippinarum and M. lusoria. The sizes of the outer diameters of holes were greater than the inner diameters of the holes on the valves of M. petechialis in the shellfish aquafarm and the indoor aquarium at the laboratory. On the whole, the sizes of the holes on the valves of the seeds of M. petechialis was smaller than those bored holes on the adult valves. The location of the bored holes on the valves of the seeds varied widely with the the sizes of the individuals of M. petichialis, while most of holes on the valves of adult clams were located near the umbo position of the valves of the clams in the shellfish aquafarm and the indoor aquarium at the laboratory. On the whole, the outer and inner diameters of the bored holes increased with increase of shell lengths of the clams in the shellfish aquafarm and the indoor rearing aquarium at the laboratory. The authors could confirm experimentally the boring snail, G. didyma didyma, drilled the seeds and adult clams of M. petechialis. In the experiments for 15 days (three times repeated) in the indoor rearing aquarium at the laboratory, the mortality of dead shells to total shells of M. petechialis by boring snail Glossaulax didyma didyma was totally average 41.5%, and percent of drilled shells to total dead shells of clams by the boring snail was average 47.1%. Of total shells, percent of drilled shells to total shells of clams by the boring snail was totally average 19.3%. Predation of G. didyma didyma were greater at night than the day time. Average 0.5 seed and adult individuals of M. petewchialis were consumed per G. didyma didyma, per day. Predation varied with shell lengths of M. petechialis and shell widths of G. didyma didyma.
