Two parasitic copepods, poecilostomatoid Colobomatus mylionus Fukui, 1965 and siphonostomatoid Clavellisa chinensis ($Y{\ddot{u}}$, 1933), were reported for the first time from Korea and redescribed based on the females collected from the marine fish of Korean waters. The C. mylionus was collected from the blackhead seabream, Acanthopagrus schelegelii(Bleeker). Colobomatus mylionus had been frequently reorded from marine teleost fishes from of Eden, Newcastle, Brisbane, Yelloon, and Point Sampson. The second record was C. chinensis redescribed based on the speciemens collected from the gills of a Japanese grenadier anchovy, Coilia nasus Temminck and Schlegel. Some differences were observed between the orginal description of known specimens examined in this study, these differences do not warrant a change in the taxonomic staus of the two species. The attachment site of all two copepods reported from Korea were the cephalic sensory canals and gills.

About 6.7% mortality was reported in a starry flounder (Platichthys stellatus) aquaculture farm in 2022. Most of the diseased fish showed a loss of pectoral fin, hemorrhages on muscle and gills, pale gills, enlarged spleen, and nodules on kidney. Parasites, fungi or viruses (viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus and hirame novirhabdovirus) were not detected from diseased fish. However, numerous bacteria were isolated from liver, spleen and kidney. Nucleotide sequences of the A-protein-encoding virulence array protein gene (vapA) of the bacteria showed 99.93% identity with Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. masoucida. This study is the first report of isolation of atypical A. salmonicida in cultured starry flounder in Korea.

해산어에서 넙치, 조피볼락, 담수어에서 비단잉어와 뱀장어의 4 어종에서 과망간산칼리에 의한 아가미의 조직변화를 관찰하였다. 해산어는 담수어에 비해 과망간산칼리에 더 민감하며, 1ppm의 저농도에서도 아가미의 조직변화가 일어났다. 뱀장어는 비단잉어보다 과망간산칼리에 대한 저항성이 더 높았다. 특히 뱀장어에서는 과망간산칼리에 노출된 어류의 아가미에서 점액세포의 증가가 두드러졌다, 사육수에서는 지하수에서보다 과망간산칼리의 영향이 훨씬 감소하는데, 이 차이가 유기물질의 양에 의한 것임은 사료농도별로 한 실험에서 확인되었다. 또한 용존산소에 따라서도 과망간산칼리의 효력이 영향을 받는다.

Cadmium (Cd) and tributyltin (TBT) are common contaminants of marine and freshwater ecosystems, and can induce the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). These ROS can, in turn, cause oxidative stress. In the present study, we investigated time-related effects of Cd (0.05 and 0.1 ppm) and TBT (5 and 10 ppb) treatment on antioxidant enzyme activity, i.e., the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in the gills and digestive glands of the ark shell, Scapharca broughtonii. In addition, hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) concentrations, lysozyme activity, and glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT) and glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT) levels were measured in the hemolymph. We found that Cd and TBT treatment significantly increased antioxidant enzyme mRNA expression and activity in the digestive glands and gills in a time-dependent manner. In response to the Cd and TBT treatments, antioxidant enzymes mRNA expression and activity increased up to day 5 in the digestive glands and then decreased by day 7. In the gills, antioxidant enzymes mRNA expression and activity increased up to day 3 and then decreased by day 5. Likewise, $H_2O_2$ concentrations significantly increased up to day 5 and then decreased by day 7. Finally, lysozyme activity decreased during the experimental period, whereas GOT and GPT levels were significantly increased in a time-dependent manner. These results suggest that antioxidant enzymes play an important role in decreasing ROS levels and oxidative stress in ark shells exposed to Cd and TBT.

A laboratory experiment was conducted to determine chronic effects of waterborne copper exposure on rock bream Oplegnathus fasciatus using a panel of enzymes. The activities of the following biochemical biomarkers were determined at different concentrations of $CuSO_4$ for 10 and 20 days: alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in plasma; antioxidant enzymes including glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in liver and gills; and acethylcholinesterase (AChE) in brain and muscle. After exposure to two $CuSO_4$ concentrations (200 and $400{\mu}g/L$), the activities of plasma ALT in the fish showed a tendency to increase with AST and LDH, depending on $CuSO_4$ concentration. Additionally, GSH levels and SOD activities significantly increased, depending on $CuSO_4$ concentrations in liver and gills. This involved the inactivation of reactive molecules formed during oxidative stress, which could provide protection against oxidative damage induced by $CuSO_4$. However, GPx and AChE activities significantly decreased with $CuSO_4$ in liver and gills. In conclusion, these enzymes may represent convenient biomarkers for monitoring heavy metal pollution in coastal areas. Such chronic exposure studies are necessary for improving our understanding of complementary or deleterious effects of pollutants, and for developing metal toxicity biomarkers.

This study evaluated some markers of oxidative stress in the organs of African Catfish, Clarias gariepinus from Eleyele River in Oyo State, Nigeria. Clarias gariepinus (250 g-400 g) were collected from Eleyele River (a suspected polluted River) and Clarias gariepinus from a clean fish farm (Durantee fisheries) were used as the control. Levels of Malondialdehyde (index of lipid peroxidation), Glutathione (GSH) and activities of antioxidant enzymes- Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Catalase and Glutathione-S-Transferase (GST) were evaluated in the liver, kidney and gills of the fish. From the results, there were significant (p<0.001) increases in malondialdehyde and GSH levels in the liver, kidney and gills of Clarias gariepinus from Eleyele River compared with control. The activity of GST increased significantly (p<0.05; p<0.001) in the liver and kidney of fish from Eleyele River compared with control. There was a significant decrease (p<0.05; p<0.001) in SOD activity in all the organs of Clarias gariepinus from Eleyele River compared with conrol and also a significant (p<0.001) decrease in catalase activity in the gills and kidney of the fish but catalase activity increased in the liver. Increase in lipid peroxidation and alterations in antioxidant status in Clarias gariepinus from Eleyele River show that the fish were under oxidative stress. These suggest that the River is polluted probably as a result of various wastes frequently discharged into the River. This could pose serious health risks to consumers of water and aquatic organisms from the River.

본 연구는 저염분 해수에 노출된 전복의 폐사 원인을 구명하고자, 수온별 (15, 20 및 $25^{\circ}C$) 염분별 (30, 25, 20 및 15 psu) 노출시간별 (3, 6, 12, 24 및 48 h) 북방전복, Haliotis discus hannai 치패의 회복률 및 아가미의 조직학적 변화를 조사하였다. 모든 수온조건에서 20 psu 이하의 저염분 해수에 6시간 이상 노출시킨 전복은 회복기간 동안 생존율이 감소하였으며, 15 psu 해수에 24시간 이상 노출시킨 전복은 회복되지 못하고 전량 폐사하였다. 이를 조직학적으로 관찰한 결과, 20 psu 이하의 저염분 해수에 6시간 이상 노출시킨 전복의 아가미 조직은 팽창 또는 손상되었으며, 15 psu 해수에 24시간 이상 노출시킨 전복의 아가미 조직은 대부분 파괴되었다. 이와같은 결과는 수온이 높을수록, 염분이 낮을수록, 노출시간이 길수록 확연히 나타났다. 따라서 저염분 해수에 노출된 전복이 폐사하는 직접적인 원인 중의 하나는 아가미 조직의 손상으로 인한 질식으로 판단된다.
