Objectives : The purpose of this study was to clarify the daily dose and uses of Goju-tang in Treatise on Cold Damage Diseases. Methods : We compared major editions of Treatise on Cold Damage Diseases with the original text of Supplement to the Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold and chose the most appropriate text. If none of the existing texts seemed reasonable, We compared texts item by item. When there is nothing adequate even item by item, it was newly modified. These results were compared with currently distributed Pinellia Tuber and standards of eggs. Results : Goju-tang consisted of Goju(vinegar), Pinellia Tuber and an eggshell. Generally, a daily dose was extracted at once and taken 3 times a day, but in Goju-tang, 4 pieces of Pinellia Tuber and one-third Sheong of Goju(solvent) were used, which were one third of average volume. Pinellia Tuber was used cut in small pieces. And it was boiled gradually by low heat. Goju was mainly to reduce the pungency of Pinellia Tuber by cutting raphides of calcium oxalate. The Pot preparing medicines was eggshell which was chosen by its small size, because the volume of Pinellia Tuber and Goju was one-third of average volume. Since an egg shell is consisted of protein, it didn't react with vinegar(Goju). Conclusions : The 4 pieces of Pinellia Tuber and one-third Sheong of Goju(Vinegar) in the Goju-tang were one-third of average dose, and the eggshell was Pot preparing medicines.

The reproductive characteristics of Pacific anchovy, Engraulis japonicus were investigated using samples randomly collected from the southern waters of Korea between January and December 2021. We analyzed monthly changes in maturity stages, gonadosomatic index (GSI), egg diameter, fecundity, and fork length (FL) at sexual groups maturity of 50%, 75% and 97.5%, and sex ratio (female:male). GSI value showed two peaks in May and August; however, microscopic analysis of E. japonicus gonad tissue revealed that the spawning period was from March to October. The main spawning seasons for the entire populations were from April to June and August to September. The overall sex ratio was female-biased (1 females, 0.89 male). The fecundity (F) of female anchovies ranged from 429 eggs at an FL of 8.0 cm to 13,824 eggs at an FL of 14.9 cm and the relationship between FL and F was 0.0788FL^4.422. The FL at 50% group maturity was 8.26 cm for female anchovies. Based on the results, we suggest that the reproductive cycle in Pacific anchovies may be related to pulses in water temperature and the sexual cycle of the fish.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the characteristics of forms and distributions of Gapyoungchon potholes. Different sizes of 153 potholes were distributed in the upper stream marginal area that was 30×25m, and over 70 percent among them were egg-shaped potholes. A development of joint in pothole was not important to make potholes in the stream but the mean size of potholes with joint was larger than without joint. Moreover, the schistosity structure of the bedrock was more important factor to develop potholes in this area. Finally, four cross sectional faces were found in this study area. From the reason, Gapyoungchon potholes are distributed on the rock terraces.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of sugar kinds and combination of various sugars, and straw size and pre-freezing time on motility of post-thaw spermatozoa in canine. In general, the extender was supplemented with fructose or glucose for semen freezing. The extender used in .this study was Tris-citric acid extender (Tris-buffer) supplemented with 20％ Egg-yolk, 8％ glycerol, 1％ Equex STM paste, and 70 mM sugars such as monosaccharide (fructose and xylose) and disaccharide(trehalose). To evaluate of sugar combination, the sugars supplemented in Tris-buffer. were combined such as control (fructose, xylose, trehalose), two combinations (Fru＋Tre, Fru＋Xy1, Tre＋Xy1) and three combinations (Fru＋Tre＋Xy1). The motility after CASA analysis in Fru＋Tre＋Xy1 was higher than those in fructose, trehalose, xylose, Fru＋Tre, Fru＋Xy1, Tre＋Xy1 (69 vs. 58, 61, 50, 65, 20, 54). However, the progressive motility after CASA analysis in Fru＋Tre group was higher than those in fructose, trehalose, xylose, Fru＋Xy1, Tre＋Xy1, Fru＋Tre＋Xy1 (59％ vs. 47, 55, 42, 13, 49, 44％). The survival rate of post-thaw spermatozoa in 0.25 $m\ell$ straw for 10 min pre-freezing was significantly higher than those in 0.25 $m\ell$ straw for 10 min, 0.25 and 0.5 $m\ell$ for 5 min (80＋0.0 vs. 65＋7, 68＋16, 58＋8％; P＜0.05). The results indicated that the progressive motility of post-thaw spermatozoa in 70 mM Fru ＋Tre (two combination) following CASA analysis and 0.25 ml straw for 10 min pre-freezing time could be better for freezing of semen in canine.

Measurements were made on morphology of each developmental stages of the chestnut weevil, Curculio sikkimensis, reared in the laboratory and field from 2003 to 2006. The size of egg was 0.8${\pm}$0.03 mm. The escaping larvae were measured, in average, as 98 mg in body weight, 10.65 and 3.99 mm in body length and width, and 1.70 mm in head width. Pupal size of female and male was 7.01 and 6.53 mm, respectively. The fresh weight (0.343 g), body length (7.76 mm) and width (3.38 mm), and head width (1.60 mm) of female adults were significantly bigger than those (0.268 g, 7.14 mm, 3.01 mm and 1.37 mm, respectively) of male adults. Proboscis length (6.53 mm) and antennal length (5.47 mm) of female was also significantly longer than those (3.56 and 4.63 mm, respectively) of male. The larvae of C. sikkimensis overwintered for 1~3 years and their body weight, body length, and body width were decreased. The ratio between proboscis length and body length, the basipodite position attached to the proboscis, and shape of the sex organ on the abdominal end could be used to discriminate sexes.

The purpose of this research was to get basic information for the development of Korean native chicken industry by reviewing the current native chicken farm management and marketing situation of native chicken products(meat and eggs). The research was carried on the basis of the farm field survey covering 210 native chicken feeders out of 9 different local areas, and the results were as follows ; 1. Average raising size of native chicken flocks of sample farms was 1,787 heads and about 50% of those farms raised less than 500 heads chickens for self-sufficiency or on the side. 2. Most farmers made the decision to start on feeding native chickens in small scale with small amount of capital without sound feeding program, and their decision was mainly influenced by recommendation of mass-media( 19.5%) and neighbors (17.2%). 3. The average income per farm earned by raising the native chickens was 13,719 Won, and income per head of chicken was 8,800 Won. 4. About 40% of feeders expressed that the poor marketing management and lack of capital were the bottleneck to native chicken farm management. 5. About 70% of feeders evaluated the prospect of native chicken industry positively and so, about 60% of feeders hoped to expand the raising size in the future. 6. Most farmers directry made a bargain with marketer including middleman and enduser in selling the chicken products because there was not established special marketing system for native chicken products. 7. The sales age of native broiler was about 16~20 weeks and average body weight of broiler was 1.5~2.0 kg. And farm recieved price was not decided on the basis of each body weight or meat quality but only number of heads. 8. The average first egg-laying age of chickens was about 165 days and average annual laying rate was only about 56%. 9. In order to develop the successful Korean native chicken industry, followings are recommended ; 1) Reducing the production costs and increasing the productivity of native chickens should be carried out through technological research and development for sound feeding program of native chickens and sufficient fund supply. 2) Orderly native chicken marketing and pricing system should be established to give good vision about native chickens to farmers and to delight the consumers. 3) The measures for product differentiation including meat quality and nutritional value of native chicken products against other improved chickens should be actively taken by feeders and government.

Bluegill, Lepomis macrochirus RAFINESQUE, has bred widely in the various districts of Korea since the Office of Fishery transplanted it into our country from Japan in December, 1969. On August 17, 24 in 1985, bluegill were caught in the reservoir of Habuk-Myon, Yangsan-Gun, $Ky\breve{o}ngsangam-Do$, Korea. They spawned in the rearing aquarium on July 13 and August 2 in 1986. The eggs of this species are adhesive and demersal. The size of the egg diameters were varied from 1.18 to 1.30 mm. Hatching took place in 40 hours after fertilization at the water temperature of $24.3-25.4^{\circ}C$. The newly botched larvae were 3.75-4.05 mm in total length possessing yolk sac, and 29-30 mytomes. Many melanophores were evenly distributed on the entire body. Ten days after hatching, the postlarvae attained 6.05-6.35 mm in total length. The yolk sac was completely absorbed and the width of the pectoral finfold had reached the maximum size. One month fifteen days after hatching, the juvenile attained 25.20 mm in total length.

For ecological study of Synechogobius hasta the environmental factors, length composition, stages of ovarian maturation, growth, and stomach contents of this species were examined. The samples were collected from the Kum River estuary from May, 1994 to June, 1995. The ovarian egg development of this species underwent 4 stages : the oogonium stage in October to November, growth stage in December to February of next year, maturity stage in February to April, and spawning stage in late April to middle May. The peak spawning period appeared in early to middle May. The fecundity varied from 8,600 to 49,000 showing a exponential increase by body size. The minimum size having matured eggs was 225 mm in total length (standard length 180 mm). The larvae smaller than 10 mm appeared in late May, and young fish of total length $13\~15mm$ entered into bottom life in the shallow waters. The young fish grew rapidly and reached about 141.7 mm in late October. The fish inhabited in the subtidal zone from December to May of next year when began to spawn. The largest specimen examined in this study was 531 mm of male, 472 mm of female. The major food items of young fishes were copepods and invertebrate larvae, and those of adult fishes were crabs, fish, shrimps, cephalopods, and polychaetes.

The larvae of Mytilus coruscus were grown at the room temperature of approximately 15.1C under several different sulture conditions, i.e., salinity, population of the larvae, density and kind of food organisms, etc. (1) The egg of Mytilus coruscus obtained in the laboratory measured about 73.0${\mu}$ in diameter. The embryos gradually developed into larvae up to 179.0${\mu}$ shell length with the shell height of 135.9${\mu}$ even in the absence of the algal food. Beyond this size, however, the growth of larvae was considerably retarded, indicating that the better growth could be expected if the food began to be fed four days after spawning. (2) The larvae began settling upon reaching 281.4${\mu}$ to 310.9${\mu}$ in shell length or 264.3${\mu}$ to 301.9${\mu}$ in shell height. When the shell length reaches 322.6${\mu}$ to 337.1${\mu}$, the shell height also reaches about the same, i.e., 321.5${\mu}$ to 346.2${\mu}$. (3) Daily rate of food consumption was determined by the size of the larvae and the species of the algal food. Regardless of the species of food given, the rage of food consumption remained almost the same until the larva reached the straight-hinge stage, and marked variations were found as the larvae grew larger. Daily rate of food consumption was shown as follow; Chaetoceros calcitrans : Y=2.99167e$\^$0.000018243x$\^$2// Cyclotella nana : Y=3.00324e$\^$0.000015481x$\^$2// Monochrysis lutheri : Y=3.000056e$\^$0.000014485$\^$2// (4) Suitable amount of the food to be given was about five times of the consumed food by Mytilus coruscus. (5) When the numbers of the larvae was higher than ten per milliliter, the growth was significantly retarded. (6) Monochrysis lutheri and Cyclotella nana were much better than Chaetoceros calcitrans as the food of Mytilus coruscus, and even the same food organism showed some difference with the age of the organism. (7) Sea water of higher salinity showed the better result in the growth of the larvae and the water with the specific gravity of 1.020 or below was dangerous for the larvae. (8) The mean growth of the larvae of Mytilus coruscus under lavorable condition was shown as follows: shell length 121.8${\mu}$ to 179.0${\mu}$ : Y=119.18+7.42X 196.7${\mu}$ to 322.6${\mu}$ : Y=203.144+7.687X 322.6${\mu}$ to 985.1${\mu}$ : Y=302.5978+11.8356X shell height 86.3${\mu}$ to 135.9${\mu}$ : Y=86.22+6.40X 158.1${\mu}$ to 321.5${\mu}$ : Y=162.998+10.027X 321.5${\mu}$ to 1,215.4${\mu}$ : Y=309.3701+16.258X Relationships between the shell length and shell height were shown as follows: shell length 121.8${\mu}$ to 179.0 : Y=0.83726X-15.79165 196.7${\mu}$ to 322.6 : Y=1.29909X-100.58610 322.6${\mu}$ to 985.1${\mu}$ : Y=1.3536X-101.6806
