This study was carried out to compare the difference of proximate composition and total lipid components by size and various tissues in sweetfish(Plecoglossus altivelis). Lipid contents of the small and large sweetfish in viscera were $43.2\%\;and\;52.8\%$, respectively. Total lipid contents of the small and large sweetfish were consisted of $3.84{\sim}46.90g/100g$ neutral lipid, $0.86{\sim}4.38g/100g$ phospholipid, respectively. In fatty acid compositions of total lipid, sweetfish showed higher content in saturates such as 16:0, 18:0($43.78{\sim}48.29\%$), and lower content in polyenes such as 18:2n-6, 22:6n-3($13.13{\sim}17.10\%$), and the large sweetfish was somewhat higher in ratio of polyenes compared with the small one. The major fatty acids were 16:0, 18:1n-9, 16:1n-7, 18:2n-6, 22:6n-3, 18:0 and 14:0, in order.

The present survey was undertaken to observe the geographical distibution of matacercaria among the sweetfish, Plecoglossus altivelis, the most important second intermediate host of Metagonimus yokegawai, which were collected during the period from 1983 to 1984 in south-eastern coastal areas of Korea. The results obtained were summarized as follow: 1. A total of 668 sweetfish collected from 70 chins (=streams) in the above coastal arcus was examined for the metacercariae, and 432 (64.7%) among them were infected with metacercariae of M. yokogawai. The mean number of metacercariae in a fish was in the range from 0 to 29,604 and the mean number of the metacercariae in a fish was 640.3. 2.

The individual production rate of Plecoglossus altivelis was studied from the 18th of June to the 25th of September (99 days) 1973, when the fish grow best at Gangjeong Stream, Jeju Do, as one of the ways to find out the reasons why the size of P. altivelis of Jeju Island is smaller than that of other places. The results obtained are as follows : 1) The indivudual production rate of the fish in the Gangjeong Stream during the summer 1973, was estimated as shown in Table 6. 2) The individual production rate of the fish and standing crop of algae on stones in the Gang-jeon Stream were no more than $7.2\%$ and $6.2\%$ respectively, when compared with those of the Ukawa River (which is located in Japan), thus the individual production rate of the fish at Gang-jeong Stream being very poor. 3) Population density was 5.2 individuals average per square meter during the research period. This is beyond the estimated density limit, i. e., 4.8 individuals per square meter, for the standing crop of algae on stones. 4) The period that the individual production rate of the fish was the most brisk during the summer in this stream was from August to September in 1973. 5) The poor individual production rate is primarily regarded due to insufficient gross ingestion. The reasons seemed to be insufficeient productivity of algae on the bottom stones, over-population density of the fish, and the lowered activity of ingestion due to low water temperature in daytime as compared with other places. Thus, the production rate of Plecoglossus altivelis in the Gangjeong Stream during the summer was greatly influenced by these factors.

Proximate compositions of muscles and eggs between wild sweet smelt which were caught in Seomjin river and Miryang river, and cultured sweet smelt which were purchased from certain cultured farms in Hadong and Miryang, were compared. Proximate compositions of wild sweet smelt muscles were $76.7\~77.5\%$ for moisture, $18.4\~19.9\%$ for protein, $2.41\~3.47\%$ for lipid, and $1.04\~1.33\%$ for ash content and there were almost no differences between the fishes from Seomjin and Miryang river. Protein and ash content in the cultured fish muscles were similar to those of the wild fish muscles, while the former contained much more lipid and carbohydrate, and less moisture than the latter, especially lipid content differed greatly according to their cultured farms. This might be the result of their different diet compositions. Lipid, protein and carbohydrate content in eggs of the wild and cultured fishes were much higher than those in their muscles. There was a negative correlation between moisture and lipid content in all samples; y= -0.2715x+24.903 (r= -0.7253, p<0.001).

The composition of amino acids and the related compounds of nucleotides in the dorsal muscle of sweet fish Hemibarbus labeo, Mandarin fish Siniperca scherzeri and read fish Gobius similis was analyzed by amino acid autoanalyzer and high performance liquid chromatography. The result showed that IMP was dominant in the nucleotides of all the dorsal muscle of the fishes and a less amount of UMP, hypoxanthine and AMP was detected. In the free amino acid composition, the important amino acids were taurine and histidine in sweet fish, taurine, glycine and histidine in cornet fish, taurine, histidine and alanine in mandarin fish, taurine, proline and threonine in read fish, respectively, and in all the dorsal muscle of fishes, taurine was the dominant amino acid. In the amino acid compositions of the muscle protein, glutamic acid, glycine, aspartic acid and lysine were reached to 44.0% of total amino acids in sweet fish, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, lysine and glycine were 43.5% in cornet fish, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, lysine and leucine were 43.3%, 43.5% of total amino acids in mandarin fish and read fish, respectively. Glutamic acid was the dominant amino acid in all the fresh fishes.

Churyeong Stream flows 37km from the mouth of Lake Okjeong and is impeded by many weirs that hamper the active movement of land-locked sweet smelt fish (Plecoglossus altivelis) that ascend and descend between the lake and the upper stream. In late December 2006, a fishway was constructed in a weir of the lower reach of Churyeong Stream, where juveniles begin their ascent to mature upstream. At 13 sites along the stream from April to October 2007, we investigated the effects of the newly constructed fishway on sweet smelt growth. After construction of the fishway, juvenile sweet smelt were able to migrate freely upstream, something that had previously only been possible when the weir was in flood. The body size of mature sweet smelt collected during the spawning season in September 2007 was greatly increased compared to previous seasons, measuring an average of $163{\pm}21.5mm$ in standard length. These measurements were 13mm, 20mm, and 57mm longer than body length averages for mature sweet smelt collected in 2006, 2004, and 2005, respectively. Therefore, it is likely to be necessary for the construction of fishways on streams and rivers containing land-locked sweet smelt populations to increase average body sizes and viability.

This study was carried out the anatomical and histological investigation of the olfactory organ on a land-locked and an amphidromous Plecoglossus altivelis in Deokam-ri, Shinpyeong-myeon, Imsil-gun, Jeollabuk-do and Daeduk-ri, Gojeon-myeon, Hadong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, August, 2021, Korea. The external morphology of the two types of P. altivelis was indistinguishable, featuring a pair of the elliptical anterior nostrils, the semicircular posterior nostrils, and the nasal flaps on the snout. The olfactory organ consisted of 20 to 22 olfactory lamellae forming a rosette structure in the nasal chamber. The secondary folds appeared on the lamellae. The histological results were also uniform. The sensory epithelium was a continuous type, consisting of olfactory receptor neurons, supporting cells, basal cells, cilia, and an unidentified cell. The non-sensory epithelium found only in the terminal part of lamellae, consist of stratified epithelial cells, basal cells, and mucous cells. For the olfactory organ between a land-lock type and an amphidromous type, no difference was observed in external and histological structure between amphidromous and land-locked type. However, it is considered that P. altivelis has higher olfactory sensitivity than other anadromous fish due to more number of olfactory lamellae and the presence of the secondary folds.
