해상어류가두리양식장의 양식 활동이 해양환경에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 통영주변의 해상어류가두리양식장(Site A)에서 해수유동, 퇴적물, 저서동물 및 트랩 등의 현장조사와 수치모델-DEPOMOD를 이용하여 가두리양식장의 고형물 침강량 예측과 적정 고형물 침강량 산정으로 해상가두리양식장의 환경관리 방안을 제시하였다. 조사대상인 Site A 해상어류가두리양식장의 입식 어종은 common sea bass(Lafeolabrax japonicus), red seabream(Pagrus major), striped breakperch(Oplegnathus fasciatus) 등 4종이고, 입식량은 227,800미 (23.1MT) 였다. 가두리양식장의 입식밀도는 $43.0kg\;m^{-2}(6.1kg\;m^{-3})$ 이고, 사료투여 량은 $30.8g\;kg^{-1}day^{-1}(1.32kg\;m^{-2}day^{-1})$ 이였다. Site A 가두리양식장 중심의 저층 퇴적물의 ORP, AVS, COD, 탄소 및 질소 농도는 각각 -334.6mV, $0.43mg\;g^{-1}dry,\;17.75mg\;g^{-l}dry,\;10.19mg\;g^{-1}dry$ 및 $3.49mg\;g^{-1}dry$ 였다. 저서동물은 Capitella capitata가 $57.8\%$로 우점하였고, Infaunal Trophical Index(ITI)는 가두리 가장자리에서 20m 거리 내까지 20 이하로 나타났다. 트랩조사 결과 Site A의 고형물 침강량은 0m에서 $34,485g\;m^{-2}yr^{-1}$, 42m지점에서 $18,915g\;m^{-2}yr^{-1}$침강하는 것으로 나타났다 모델 예측 결과 Site A의 사료 미섭이율은 $40\%$, 연간 고형물 침강량은 63,401 kg으로 연간 사료 급이량의 $24.4\%$이고, 고형물 침강 면적은 $8,450m^2$으로 가두리 시설 면적의 16배인 것으로 예측되었다. ITI와 저서동물의 풍도를 통한 Site A의 지속 가능한 고형물 침강량은 $10,000g\;m^{-2}yr^{-1}$ 이하 인 것으로 예측되었다. 가두리양식장에서 고형물 침강량의 주 요인은 높은 미섭이율이고, 고형물 침강량을 최소화 하기 위해서는 사료 섭이효율을 높여주어야 한다. 모델에 따르면 미섭이율을 $40\%$에서 $10\%$로 줄이면 고형물 침강량이 1/2 수준으로 감소되는 것으로 예측되었고, 습사료, 생사료의 사용 대신에 배합사료(EP)를 사용할 경우 $57\%$정도 침강량이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 가두리양식장의 허가면적에 대한 시설 면적비는 $5\%$미만이 적정한 것으로 판단된다.

This study was performed to develop a video based system which can be used to measure the averaged fish size in a non-intrusive fashion. The design was based on principles of simple stereo geometry, incorporated fish dimensions weight relationships and took into consideration fish movement to lower system costs. As the fish size is an important factor that impacts the economy of an aquaculture enterprise. Size measurements, including fork length, width or height, girth, thickness and mass, can be used to determine fish condition in the fish farm, so the averaged fish size of fish cage needs to consistently monitor in open ocean aquaculture cage. A precision of ${\pm}3%$ for replicate length measurements of a 60cm bar is obtained at distances between 2.0 and 6.0m, and the mean fork length and mean swimming speed of bluefin tuna were estimated to 48.8cm and 0.78FL/s, respectively.

The natural high productivity of temperate coastal waters in Korea can be used in advantage to reduce the feed costs for the cage-cultured marine carnivorous fish species. By using the night-lights methods an alternative of supplementary feeding strategy can be offered to the cage farmers and maintain sound environmental conditions that could enhance maximum sustainable yields. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of night-lights which shown positive results on feeding and growth in sea cage cultured rockfish, Sebastes schlegeli. The study showed that for the water around overhead illuminated sea cage, higher zooplankton density was observed at night than during the daytime. Increased amounts of for-age, evidenced by stomach content analyses were observed in the early evening, but decreased amounts were observed in the morning and afternoon. That is, feeding activities of the fish were most intensive from midnight to dawn. In a three month feeding experiment, the results showed that night-lighted groups were superior to groups with the highest feeding efficient. This study suggested that the evidence that night-lights superimposed on only day-lights enhance growth of rockfish in sea cages during summer and winter, with timing of exposure affecting growth of juvenile fish. The capability to control the feeding behavior of marine life via manipulation and external stimuli could considerably benefit the advancement of sea cage aquaculture in coastal areas.

We performed field measurements of the behavioral changes in cultured chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) caused by tide-induced changes in the shapes of their small-sized tetragonal fish cages. The field measurements were conducted in two separate periods: neap tide, a period in which the shape of the fish cages was stable; and spring tide, a period in which the fish cages are significantly deformed, which was expected to have significant influences on fish behavior. In the spring tide, the cages were deformed greatly by the moving water, with different water velocities affecting the cages to different degrees; the volume loss was estimated at 4.9% and 7.3% for v = 0.114 m/s and v = 0.221 m/s, respectively. The fish exhibited significantly different behaviors between the neap tide and spring tide. During the neap tide, the fish remained in the lower part of the cage, but during the spring tide they made frequent upward and downward movements, and their horizontal distribution changed significantly due to the changes in the shape of the cage. The cage deformation during the spring tide greatly influenced the swimming behavior of fish.

This study aims to detect the change of marine aquaculture farm within the boundary of Hallyeo Marine National Park. Comparison has been made on the Landsat images taken in 1984 and 2002 respectively by using feature extraction methods and other image analysis techniques. During the 18 year period between 1984 and 2002, total area of the aquaculture farms has been decreased in 63 percent. The reason for the change seems to be that aquaculture farms became concentrated only around the Geoje Islands due to the growth of the labor- and capital-intensive cage aquaculture for the expensive fish species instead of traditional oyster farming. Authors suggest the monitoring using remotely-sensed data as the best tool for the management of marine aquaculture farms on the basis of accuracy of analysis and relatively cheap cost. Management strategies of salmon farms in Tasmania, Australia has been analyzed to find the field techniques necessary for the management of aquaculture.

Based on the survey on abalone aquaculture management status in Nohwa-eup, Bogil-myeon, and Wando-eup in Wando region, this study compared the analyzed business performance generated from production by region. The results show that the abalone production quantity has been stabilized currently after rapid growth during the past 10 years. In the future, it will be the time for more positively spontaneous efforts by people in aquaculture business to restore fishing ground, in which they have actively and continuously worked, by means of clean-up of fishing ground, movement of fishing ground, or time-off period rather than just to focus on the short-term increase of production in all of three regions.

Based on the survey on aquaculture management status in Nohwa-eup, Bogil-myeon, Wando-eup in Wando region, this study aimed to estimate productive efficiencies of abalone aquaculture production using a stochastic frontier approach (SFA) and to find out their determinants. In the analysis, a Cobb-Douglas production function with an inefficiency term that follows an halfnormal distribution was assumed for the estimation of productive efficiencies. Then, based on the outcomes of productive efficiencies, determinants of productive efficiency were investigated using a tobit regression model. Results showed that the average inefficiency was estimated to be 10% and the production size would be a statistically significant variable for the production. In addition, it was shown that the cage installing method would be an important factor affecting to the level of productive efficiency.

Fisheries constitute an important sector in national economic development, and estimate to contribute about 3% of the total GDP and 5% of the GDP in agriculture. Fish production from aquaculture has been estimated at 950 tonnes for 2004. In 2003, Ghana produced only 51.7% of its requirements from its domestic sources and in 2004, achieved 68.1% of its fish requirement through domestic production and imports. It has been estimated that the production from ponds and culture-based fisheries is worth about US$ 1.5 million a year. The aquaculture sub sector comprises largely small-scale subsistence farmers who practice extensive aquaculture in earthen ponds in contrast to the intensive practices of commercial farmers. There is one cage facility which produces 200 tonnes or 21.1% of the total output. There are several laws to regulate and govern the sector and the government has set up institutions that are responsible for developing fisheries and aquaculture policy and directing and establishing research priorities. The Directorate of Fisheries (DoF) is the lead government agency for aquaculture development and the Water Research Institute of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) is mandated to carry out aquaculture research. To promote fish farming, imports of farm fish are not allowed.

The Kenyan aquaculture sector is broadly categorized into freshwater aquaculture and mariculture. Whereas freshwater aquaculture has recorded significant progress over the last decade, the mariculture sector has yet to be fully exploited. The Kenyan aquaculture industry has seen slow growth for decades until recently, when the government-funded Economic Stimulus Program increased fish farming nationwide. Thus far, the program has facilitated the alleviation of poverty, spurred regional development, and led to increased commercial thinking among Kenyan fish farmers. Indeed, national aquaculture production grew from 1,000 MT/y in 2000 (equivalent to 1% of national fish production) to 12,000 MT/y, representing 7% of the national harvest, in 2010. The production is projected to hit 20,000 MT/y, representing 10% of total production and valued at USD 22.5 million over the next 5 years. The dominant aquaculture systems in Kenya include earthen and lined ponds, dams, and tanks distributed across the country. The most commonly farmed fish species are Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus, which accounts for about 75% of production, followed by African catfish Clarias gariepinus, which contributes about 21% of aquaculture production. Other species include common carp Cyprinus carpio, rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss, koi carp Cyprinus carpio carpio, and goldfish Carassius auratus. Recently, Kenyan researchers have begun culturing native fish species such as Labeo victorianus and Labeo cylindricus at the National Aquaculture Research Development and Training Centre in Sagana. Apart from limited knowledge of modern aquaculture technology, the Kenyan aquaculture sector still suffers from an inadequate supply of certified quality seed fish and feed, incomprehensive aquaculture policy, and low funding for research. Glaring opportunities in the Kenyan aquaculture industry include the production of live fish food, e.g., Artemia, daphnia and rotifers, marine fish and shellfish larviculture; seaweed farming; cage culture; integrated fish farming; culture of indigenous fish species; and investment in the fish feed industry.

The sea cucumber, Apostichopus japonicus, is becoming an important aquaculture species in China, Japan and Korea. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the biological performance of a tubular type of subsurface cage for sea cucumber grow-out by in-situ tests. The cage structure was constructed of PP (polypropylene) frames and PP tubes (${\phi}130mm{\times}24pieces$). A set of tests were conducted at a depth of 15 m near Seosaeng, Ulsan, Korea for 295 days (23 July, 2012 to 13 May, 2013). A total of 155 sea cucumbers were used and fed a mixed diet containing mud, mineral, wheat, fish meal, etc (3% of their body weight). At the end of the experiments, sea cucumber showed a higher survival rate in feed shelter (77.14%) rather than no feed shelter (64.71%). The specific growth rate (SGR) of sea cucumbers in feed condition (0.04% $day^{-1}$) was higher than that of no feed culture animals (-0.49% $day^{-1}$) during total experimental periods. The result was able to find a no significance difference in survival rate but a significance difference in SGR under feed and no feed treatments.
