This study was performed to natural infection of Ichthyophthirius multifiliis and mortalities of two fish species were compared at 10${^{\circ}C}$ and 17${^{\circ}C}$ after artificial infection with the parasite. Subsequently compared to motality by the artificial infection with the different parasite orgin of host at 17${^{\circ}C}$ using rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. The prevalence of Ichthyophthirius multifiliis in cherry salmon was higher than that in rainbow trout during the periods of low temperature but no difference in high temperature season. The parasite was not detectable in culturing water and detritus except May that of density has been high. Susceptibility to the parasite was higher in cherry salmon than in rainbow trout at 10${^{\circ}C}$ of water temperature but no difference between two fish species at 17${^{\circ}C}$. When rainbow trout were infected with Ichthyophthirius multifiliis from rainbow trout and cherry salmon at 17${^{\circ}C}$, there was no difference in death of host. These results suggest that cherry salmon have higher susceptibility to Ichthyophthirius multifiliis than rainbow trout at low temperature.

In recently days, the breed fish farm is increased in the beach side for farming fish. In such a farm, the heater is requested for preventing freezing in cold season. The heating material are requested high corrosion resistance and strength for endurance high corrosive salt and pressure. In case of low corrosion resistance and/or strength, the heating element shall be broke down and eventually make spillage or leaking contaminated salt. In the most cases, crevice corrosion is localized form of corrosion usually associated with a stagnant solution on the micro-environmental level. In this study, the crevice corrosion of Ferritic type 430 stainless steel is investigated. The size of specimen is $15{\times}20{\times}3mmt$. Test solution is 1N H2SO4 + 0.05N NaCl. The artificial crevice gap size is $0.24{\times}3{\times}15mmL$. Crevice corrosion is measured under applied voltage 300mV(SCE) to the external surface. the result of this study showed that 1) the induced time for initiation of crevice is 750seconds, 2) potential is dropped in the crevice from the top of gap opening from -320 to -399mV. The result confirmed that the potential drop(IR mechanism) in the crevice is one of mechanism for crevice corrosion.

The feasibility of foam separation to remove solid produced from fish culture water was investigated. Performance characteristics of foam separator were highly dependent upon the operating parameters which were superficial air velocity, Hydraulic retention time (HRT), and foam height. About $50\%$ of the total protein contained in a sample of fish culture water could be removed by foam separator. The removal efficiencies of protein, T-N, TA, and solid components were increased with increasing superficial air velocity and HRT. The combined effects of these operational variables show that removal rates of TVS increase with increasing superficial air velocity and HRT, and decrease as foam height goes up. It could be confirmed that foam separator might offer good perspective for removal of harmful components such as TA and TVS in aquacultural recirculating water.

In late summer of 2001, a new disease "overturn disease" occurred among mud loach (Misgurnus mizolepis) cultured in a farm Chonbuk Province. The fish exhibited a lethargic, erratic and spiral swimming at the water surface. Affected fish showed swollen abdomen with accumulation of air bubbles in the intestinal canal. The bubbles were much larger in the anterior part than in the posterior part. Hematological and histopathological examinations were done. No significant differences were found in RBC count, Ht value and Hb concentration between the diseased and the healthy fish. Gill filaments showed proximal hyperplasia of the respiratory epithelia and fusing of the gill lamella. Hemorrhage and necrosis occurred in the intestinal epithelia and within the lamina propria, and the mucosal epithelia were separated from the muscularis. Hepatocytes underwent atrophy. In the fish experimentally tied between the annal fin and the anus by a thread to confirm accumulation of air bubbles within intestine, accumulation of air bubbles was confirmed. This disease in mud loach appeared to be induced by circulatory disturbances in the intestinal wall owing to accumulation of air bubbles in the alimentary canal after fed high protein diet throughout all culturing period.

The disinfectant effects of total residual oxidants (TROs) produced by ozonization of natural sea water were investigated against fish pathogenic bacteria isolated from flounder and red seabream. The concentration of 0.1 mg TROs/liter was stable for 20 min in filtered natural seawater, and those of 0.3 and 0.5 mg TROs/liter were also stable for more 1 hr. Disinfectant effects of TRO against Edwardsiella tarda, Vibrio sp., Streptococcus sp. and Staphylococcus sp. were observed with a concentration of 0.1 mg/liter for 180 sec, and the treatment killed more than 99.9% of bacterial cells. With TROs of 0.3 to 0.5 mg/ liter, the viable cells of the bacteria were reduced by more than 99.99% in 60 sec.

In the refrigerated storages of fishery products, the lipid oxidation of the meats had been the major deterioration factor. For the effective utilization of mackerel, Scomber japonicus, and yellow corvenia, Pseudosciaena manchuria, which are major costal fish in Korea, and were studied about oxidative rancidity during the refrigerated storage at $-18^{\circ}C$ and the effect of different temperatures upon the cooked meat. We detected the results followed. 1. The Induction period of refrigerated storages had 20 days for fresh meat and 60 days for cooked meat. 2. Peroxide and TBA value of cooked meats had half amount values In the comparison with those of fresh meats, 3. Values of mackerel had double amount than those of yellow corvenia in peroxide and TBA value as if the different values come from different fish species, 4. The rancidative degree of the different temperatures on the samples had the least amount at $-5^{\circ}C$ among several kinds of storage temperatures.

Effects of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), known as an effective anticarcinogen in several animal models, on the tilapia were investigated. The CLA was made from safflower oil by alkaline isomerization method. Isomers in CLA such as cis-9, trans-11 and trans-10, cis-12 occupied over $80\%$, and other isomers was below $20\%$. In experiment, 250 fishes (average weight is 32 g) were divided into 15 fishes per five treatment and triplicate group for 8 weeks: control, $1\%$ CLA, $2.5\%$ CLA, $5.0\%$ CLA, and $10\%$ CLA diets. Daily growth rate and feed coefficiency were measured every week. The most effective diet for the growth rate and feed coefficiency of tilapia was $1.0\%$ CLA diet group. Every two weeks, sampled and determined the contents of CLA in the muscle and liver, After 8 weeks, $1.0\%$ and $10.0\%$ of CLA fed group accumulated the CLA as 41.3 and 180.9 mg/g of fat in their muscle respectively, Also, n-9 and n-3 fatty acid (FA) compositions were almost not changed in the muscle and liver. But n-6 fatty acid was changed according to the contents of fed CLA. The $1.0\%$ CLA fed group was shown the highest contents of n-6 FA and the $10.0\%$ CLA group was shown the lowest contents of n-6 FA.

Many encysted metacercariae of Clinostomum complanatum(Rudolphi, 1814) were found in the flesh near the skin of goldfish(Carassius auratus) sultured at a fish farm in Chonbuk Province, Korea, in the summer of 1995. The mortality reached about 7% from July 10 to August 20. Encysted and excysted metacercariae were$700\sim877{\times}700\sim775{\mu}m$ and $2.4\sim5.5{\times}0.7\sim1.37{\mu}m$ in size, respectively. The parasites looked yellowish due to the yellow particulate matter in the intestine. Of 276 fish examined, 234(84.8%) were infected with a mean intensity of 216.6(range 1~1.214) parasites. Fish of 2.0~2.5 cm in body length were most frequently(94.3%) infected but those of 3.1~3.5 cm were the least infected(75.27%). The isthmus was most heavily infected. There was no difference in prevalence between two forms of goldfish, Gyariko an Ryugum. The sites of infection were swollen and recognized as yellow spots of 0.4~0.8 mm in diameter. Fish infected with more than 200 metacercariae became moribund with listless swimming and finally died.

A study on the contents of dissolved oxygen and phytoplankton in the pond water has been carried out to determine the water quality and to investigate the cause of red water in fish ponds at Pusan Fisheries College in 1972-1973. The results obtained are as follows : 1. Measured oxygen content during the period from 6th to 7th of August 1972 was: 23.95ppm ($328\%$ in saturation rate) in daytime and 0.39 ppm($5\%$) in the early morning in the water which contains heavy bloom of phytoplankton, on the other hand, in clear water the range of oxygen content was 8.72 to 6.58ppm. 2. The occurrences of red water in 1972-1973 were always caused by the sudden death of Synechocystis aquatilis (Cyanophyta) when the water temperature was very high ($30-33.5^{\circ}C$) and then high mortality of fish under rearing followed. 3. The phytoplankon observed during this study period was 133 species belonging to 55 genera in 23 families, and those of Chlorophyta was dominant in number of species, and Cyanophyta in quantity. 4. Zooplankton observed was 12 species belonging to 11 genera in 11 families, and they were very small both in number of species and in quantity compared to those of phytoplankton.

An experiment on the growth of common carp by feeding low (animal) protein feed when stocked at a rotatively low rate of density was conducted in 1976 at the fish pond of the National fisheries University of Busan. Three ponds averaging $454m^2$ were used with rations of different combinations of feed in respect to protein content. Each pond was equally stocked with 72 general common carp averaging 81.2g and 28 colored common carp averaging 37.8g and the fish were fed for 189 days. In the first pond where the feed with $20\%$f ish meal content ($19.0\%$ crude protein) was fed, the general common carp grew to 776.2g average (63 survived), colored common carp to 504.2g (24 survived), and total average to 701.1g (87 survived). In the second pond where $35\%$ fish meal feed ($27.3\\%$ crude protein) given, the fish grew to 792.9g (70 survived), 539.1g (23 survived) and 730.1g(93 survived), respectively, and in the third pond where $50\%$ fish meal feed ($34.6\%$ crude protein) given, the fish grew to 983.7g (49 survived), 630.4g (23 survived) and 870.8g (72 survived), respectively. A significant mortality during the experiment was due to an accidental introduction of Trichodina and Dactylogyrus infected with the stocked fish under experiment at the beginning. In this experiment the rate of harvest per hectare was very low being 1,352kg, 1,495kg and 1,447kg respectively which is tess than half of the yield at general commercial fish ponds. Therefore, it is concluded that at this rate of reduced production trial, the content of protein in the feed must not be cut down from the normal level.
