Although the abundance of Metapenaeus joyneri resources with high commercial value was recently confirmed in the outer waters of Gomso Bay, located between Buan-gun and Gochang-gun, Jeollabuk-do, Metapenaeus joyneri resources have not been efficiently utilized due to the absence of fishing gears and methods for a selective Metapenaeus joyneri capture. Therefore, in this study, we adopted shrimp dredge as a trial fishing gear for the Metapenaeus joyneri capture, and analyzed the species composition and cluster community structure of aquatic organisms caught by the shrimp dredge, from May to September 2021 at the coastal waters of Gochang-gun, Jeollabuk-do. During the experimental period, 28 types of marine species of 29,190 individuals and 250,136 g of total biomass were caught. Among them, the population of Metapenaeus joyneri, the target species, dominated by 80.7%, followed by Thrysa chefuensis with 7.1%, and Leiognathus nuchalis with 6.0%, confirming that the fishing ratio of Metapenaeus joyneri was the highest among all species.

The present study provides nutritional characteristics of body composition based on the different collected locations and body sizes in wild eels, Anguilla japonica. Eels were collected in Kyungho river, near the Sachun bay (Gyeongnam) and Inchun river, near Gochang, Jeonnam. Eels were divided by size into the following groups: less than 100 g (Gochang: 75.8$\pm$17.6 g, Sachun: 89.3$\pm$6.42 g) and more than 200 g group (Gochang: 215$\pm$8.95 g, Sachun: 236$\pm$11.7 g). The moisture content of individuals in Gochang area (Gw) was higher than that in Sacheon area (Sw). In the results of proximate analysis, the ranges of moisture, crude protein, crude fat, and crude ash were 63∼72, 16∼20, 6.1∼15.4 and 2.2∼2.8%, respectively. Moisture and crude fat were significantly different (P<0.05) based on the captured locations. In fatty acid composition, the ranges of saturates, monoenes, polyenes, and n-3 PUFA content were 38.0∼48.0, 51.5∼58.5, 1.95∼4.12 and 0.68∼1.53%, respectively. It was significantly different (P<0.05) based on the captured locations. In the amino acid composition, the ranges of essential and non-essential amino acids were 7.11∼12.5 and 8.34∼ 12.9%, respectively. These values were not significantly different (P>0.05) based on the captured locations, however these were significant different (P<0.05) based on their body weight. Therefore, these results indicated that the different body composition depends on the different captured locations and body sizes. Furthermore, it is necessary to examine more varied locations and body sizes for their body composition in eels.

To understand host-defence mechanism of clam(Ruditapes philippinarum) hemocyte against foreign materials, classification and their seasonal change in the number were performed. clams collected from a farm in Julpo Bay, Gochang, Chollabuk-Do were used in this experiment. Lots of hemocytes were found between the muscle fibers and connetive tissue of posterior adductor muscle. Hemocytes of R. philippinarum were classified into granulocytes and agranulocytes. Granulocytes were composed of three types, basophilic granulocyte, acidophilic granulocyte and fibrocyte in accordance with the staining affinities of their cytoplasmic granules. Fibrocyte has filopodia and vesicle in endoplasm and bigger than other granulocytes in size. Agranulocytes were less in the number and smaller in the size compared to those of granulocytes. Hyalinocytes had no granule in their cytoplasm. The nucleus located in the center of the cell was oval or spherical shaped. In electron microscopic observation, granulocytes and hyalinocytes contained electron-dense vesicles and some small lucid vesicles in their cytoplasm, respectively. Granulocytes phagocytosed more zymosan particles than hyalinocytes. Acidophilic granulocytes showed higher phagocytic ratio than basophilic granulocytes. Total hemocyte numbers showed the highest at April to August and the lowest at October to December. In the composition of each hemocyte, basophilic granulocytes were always more than acidophilic granulocytes and hyalinocytes.
