Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) was analyzed in various marine organisms of Korea. HCB was detected in all organism samples with residual concentrations from 0.51 to 222 pg/g wet weight. HCB residue was the highest content in crustacean, and followed by bivalves, fish, cephalopods and gastropods. The residues were comparable to or lower than those in marine organisms of other countries. Daily dietary intake of HCB from seafood was estimated to be 13.4 pg/kg body weight/day. The relative contribution of taxonomic group to the total dietary intake of HCB were in the order of crustaceans $(40.1\%)$, bivalves $(34.2\%)$, fish $(23.1\%)$, cephalopods $(2.22\%)$, and gastropods $(0.38\%)$. Daily dietary intake of HCB expressed as toxic equivalent (TEQ) value was estimated to be $1.34\times10^{-3}pg$ TEQ/kg body weight/day. This value did not exceed tolerable daily intake (TDI) proposed by the WHO, the UK toxicity committee and the KFDA. Cancer risk and target hazard quotient (THQ) due to the consumption of the marine organism in Korean adult population were evaluated using the exposure equation of food ingestion. This result suggests that dietary intake of HCB by the consumption of Korean seafood seems to be safe for human health with negligible cancer and non-cancer risks so far.

Total mercury (T-Hg) and methyl mercury (MeHg) were determined in marine fisheries (41 species, n=87) commonly consumed in Korea, using a gold amalgamation method and gas chromatography-cold vapor atomic fluorescent spectroscopy, respectively. Concentrations of T-Hg and MeHg in all samples (31 fish, 4 crustaceans, 4 cephalopods, and 2 gastropod species) were in the range of 0.016-0.495 (mean, 0.093) mg/kg-wet and not detected-0.338 (mean, 0.067) mg/kg-wet, respectively. The concentrations of MeHg in marine fisheries were significantly correlated with T-Hg concentrations (P<0.001). The highest mean concentrations of T-Hg and MeHg were found in fish species, followed by crustaceans. The contribution of MeHg to T-Hg was in the range of 64-95% (mean, 83%) in cephalopods, 28-98% (mean, 69%) in fish, and 26-88% (mean, 57%) in crustaceans. The weekly intakes of T-Hg and MeHg by fisheries consumption for the Korean general population were estimated to be 0.463 and $0.338{\mu}g/kg$ body weight/week, respectively. The concentrations and intakes of T-Hg and MeHg were less than the allowable residue levels and in the range of 12 to 17% of the provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI) applied in Korea.

필리핀 일로일로 주변해역에 출현하는 몽치다래(Auxis rochei)의 위내용물 조성을 연구하기 위하여 2013년 12월에서 2014년 5월까지 매월 채집하였으며 채집된 몽치다래의 총 개체수는 200개체였다. 이들의 가랑이체장(FL)은 11.1~31.2 cm의 범위를 보였다. 위내용물을 분석한 결과 몽치다래는 어류(fishes)를 가장 선호하는 epipelagic feeder로 나타났다. 어류 다음으로 중요한 먹이생물은 새우류(shirmps), 요각류(copepods), 게유생 (crab larvae), 단각류 (amphipods), 두족류 (cephalopods)로 나타났으며, 갯가재류 (stomatopods), 이매패류 (bivalves), 패충류(ostracods) 등도 섭식하였지만 그 양은 많지 않았다. 몽치다래의 섭식패턴에 대한 도해적방법의 결과는 몽치다래가 좁은 섭식폭을 가지며, 어류를 주로 섭식하는 specialized feeder임을 보였다. 모든 크기군에서 어류를 주로 섭식하였으며, 크기가 증가함에 따라 어류의 섭식비율이 증가하는 경향을 보였다.

In this study, the dietary habits of the spinyhead sculpin Dasycottus setiger were investigated based on 156 specimens collected seasonally between May 2018 and February 2019 from the East Sea off the Korean coast. In terms of the weight contribution (%W), the main food items of the spinyhead sculpin were found to be teleosts (33.5%), followed by carid shrimps (13.8%), amphipods (13.3%), cephalopods (12.0%), and polychaetes (7.1%). Dietary analyses based on the weight contribution of different prey taxa in the diet of the spinyhead sculpin revealed considerable variation in the dietary composition in terms of the sampling region and fish size implying intra-specific dietary segregation. The spinyhead sculpin showed a size-related trends in dietary shift from amphipods to carid shrimps and teleosts in northern region, and from carid shrimps and mysids to teleosts and cephalopods in middle eastern coast. Multivariate analyses of dietary changes revealed that the dietary composition of spinyhead sculpin is significantly associated with the sampling site, but not the fish size. Amphipods contributed more to the diets of the northern population, while mysids typified the diets of spinyhead scuplin inhabiting the middle eastern coast, indicating differences in available food resources between the two study regions.

The diet composition of octopus Octopus vulgaris was studied using 392 specimens collected from January to December 2020 in the coastal waters of Yeosu, Korea. The body weight ranged from 86.4 to 3,645.4 g. The most important prey item in the diet of O. vulgaris was decapods, which constituted 43.9% in ranking index (%RI). The second largest prey item was Pisces (%RI=27.9%), and cephalopods (%RI=21.8%) constituted the third largest prey item. The average trophic level of O. vulgaris was 3.97±0.59. Ontogenetic changes were significant among size classes (<400 g, 400-800 g, ≥800 g). The small size class (<400 g) mainly fed on decapods, whereas the medium (400-800 g) and large size (≥800 g) classes mainly fed on cephalopods and Pisces, respectively. The dietary composition varied significantly with season.

The feeding habits of John Dory (Zeus faber) were studied by examining the stomach contents of 317 specimens collected from January 2004 to December 2005 in the coastal waters off Gori, Korea. The standard length (SL) of the specimens ranged from 12 to 42 cm. Z. faber is a piscivore and consumes mainly teleost fish such as Psenopsis anomala, Trichiurus lepturus and Conger myriaster. Its diet also includes shrimp and cephalopods. Smaller individuals (<25 cm SL) consume shrimp and small fish such as Glossanodon semifasciatus. The proportion of these prey items decreases with increasing fish size, and this decrease is paralleled by increased consumption of lager fish such as Psenopsis anomala and Trichiurus lepturus. The prey size increases with Z. faber size.

We studied the feeding habits of Sebastes thompsoni based on 421 specimens obtained in monthly collections between January and December 2005 in the coastal waters off Busan, Korea. S. thompsoni was a crustacean feeder, and consumed mainly shrimp and euphausiids. Its diet also included small quantities of amphipods, cephalopods, and fish. It showed distinct ontogenetic changes in feeding habits. Smaller individuals (14-17 cm standard length (SL)), mainly consumed euphausiids. The portion of these prey items decreased with increasing fish size, and larger individuals (>20 cm SL) consumed mainly shrimp such as Leptochela sydniensis.

To date, we have made inferences on the behavior and mind of humans and animals from the perspective of humans, or for the sake of familiarity, vertebrates. The book, "Other Minds; The Octopus, The Sea, and The Deep Origins of Consciousness" by Peter Godfrey-Smith makes us realize how erroneous preconceived notions could be, and presents a novel perspective on the results of evolution. Throughout this book, readers will learn about the characteristics of the nervous system, behavior, and habits of cephalopods, which include octopuses. Through this book, readers will gain a new perspective on the embodiment, minds, nervous systems, consciousness, and sociality of humans and animals. Furthermore, the book will provide the imaginary experience of swimming in "Octopolis" inside the ocean with the author.

두족류 3종(Octopus minor, Octopus ocellatus, Todarodes pacificus)의 성숙정자를 전자현미경을 통해 관찰한 결과 다음과 같았다. 팔완류인 서해박지와 주꾸미의 성숙정자 전체 길이는 각각 $390{\mu}m$와 $125\sim130{\mu}m$정도였고, 십완류인 살오징어의 길이는 $35{\mu}m$정도로 매우 짧았다. 서해낙지는 나선형의 첨체와 약간 굽은 바나나 모양의 머리를 소지하고 있었으며, 주꾸미는 꼬인 첨체와 막대 모양의 긴 머리를 가지고 있었다. 이들 침체 내강에는 규칙적 구조(periodic structure)인 많은 가로무늬가 관찰되었고, 머리의 내강에는 치밀전 (dense plug)을 형성하였다. 그러나 살오징어의 첨체는 전자밀도가 낮은 둥근 모자 모양이 였으며, 머리는 길쪽한 장타원형을 나타내었다. 특히 첨체 하단부에는 2개의 작은 강(cavity)이 관찰되었고, 이들 내강에는 전자밀도가 높은 물질들(juxtanuclear acrosomal materials)로 채워져 있었다. 3종의 성숙정자 중편은 서해낙지와 주꾸미에서 미토콘드리아가 mitochondrial sleeve를 형성하였지만, 두 종간 미토콘드리아의 수는 각각 $11\sim12$개와 $8\sim9$개로 관찰되어 수의 차이를 보였다. 반면, 살오징어는 미토콘드리아가 축사와 분리되어 mitochondrial spur를 형성하였고, 이들 spur내에는 $10\sim13$개의 미토콘드리아와 전자밀도가 높은 물질들이 밀집되어 있었다. 서해낙지, 주꾸미, 그리고 살오징어의 축사는 공히 9+2구조에 9개의 금은섬유가 둘러싸고 있었고, 살오징어의 축삭내에서만 작은 입자형의 글리코겐이 관찰되었다. 금은섬유들은 서해낙지와 살오징어에서는 꼬리의 주편까지만 관찰되었으나, 주꾸미에서는 단편에서도 관찰되었다.
