This study was conducted to investgate the effect of fish meal analogue (FMA) on the growth of Israeli carp, Cyprinus carpio averageing 43g. Leather meal, meat and bone meal, feather meal, squid liver powder, poultry by-product and blood meal were used for ingredient of FMA. Four experimantal diets were formulated to contain 36% crude protein and 15.4 kJ available enery g-1. The percentage of follows ; Diet 1, 100% 3, 60% WFM + 40% FMA (40% FMA) ; Diet 4, 40% WFM + 60% FMA (60% FMA). In this expriment, fingerling Israeli carp averaging 43 g were assigned to each diet treatment. When the experiment was terminated, weigth gain (WG), feed conversion (FC), specific growth rate (SGR) and protein efficiency ratio (PER) were measured respectively. In the experiment, WG, FC, SGR and PER of Diet 2 were not significantly different from those of the control diet (P0.05). And WG, FC and SGR of Diet 3 were not significantly of the control Diet. In Diet 4, WG, FC and PER were not significantly different from those of the control Diet, but SGR was lower than that fo the control Diet. According to the results from this study, it might be possible to replace fish meal protein by FMA up to 60% in fingerling Israeli carp diets.

This study was conducted to compare the nutritional properties of cookies made with Israeli carp Cyprinus carpio (C-IC) to those made without Israeli carp (control). The proximate composition of C-IC per 100 g was 4.1 g moisture, 9.7 g protein, 29.2 g lipid, 1.4 g ash, and 55.6 g carbohydrates. Moisture, protein and ash contents were significantly higher and the carbohydrate content was significantly lower (P<0.05) in C-IC than control, but there was no difference in lipid content (P>0.05). The total amino acid content of C-IC per 100 g was 9.46 g and the major amino acid was glutamic acid (2.49 g). The mineral contents of C-IC per 100 g were 216.6 mg calcium, 193.2 mg phosphorus, 170.9 mg potassium, and 18.2 mg magnesium, which were all significantly higher than the contents of the control (P<0.05). The major fatty acids of C-IC were 16:0, 18:1n-9, and 18:2n-6. The digestibility of C-IC in the small intestine was 51.3%, which was higher than the digestibility of the control. These results suggest that C-IC have better nutritional properties than the control.

The effects of the yeast, Phaffia rhodozyme in the diet on growth, body composition, muscle elasticity and pigmentation of Israeli strain of common carp, colored carp and Nile tilapia were investigated. Ten percent of the yeast was added to semi purified diet as an experimental feed 1. Ten percent of brewers yeast in the semi purified diet (experimental feed 2) was tested for comparing the growth performance between two semi purified diets. A commercial diet was also used for the check of growth rate of the semi purified diets. All experimental fish were fed for 10 weeks. The weight gains among the experimental fish were not significantly different (P>0.05). There were not significantly different in body composition, muscle elasticity among the the fishes fed three experimental diets. There were significant differences (P<0.05) of pigment deposition in the muscle of Israeli strain of common can and on the skin of colored carp between treated and non treated group. But there were no differences of pigment deposition in flesh and skin of tilapia among the three diets.

A study on quinolone antibacterial (pefloxacin methanesulfonate) was performed to use for the drug of fisheries. Petloxacin was proved excellent in antibacterial activity and resistance against fish pathogens when compared with the existing antibacterials. And any side effect was not observed during the period of indicated use. An outline of MIC(Minimal Inhibitory Concentration) was $1.6{\sim}6.4{\mu}g/ml$, $TLm_{48h}$ value were 380~420 ppm in Israeli carp(Cyprinus caprio) and 2100~2300 ppm in flounder(Paralichthys olivaceus). The residual time of fish body was less than 15 days. So we can treat some bacterial disease of fish by the dosage of 100 g/day/ton of fish body weight for 3 days and pefloxacin is thought to be used effectively and widely against most bacterial fish pathogens.

In Korea, lots of Israeli carp (Cyprinus carpio) are cultured by means of net cages in dams and lakes, but many carp have been subjected to heavy infestation of the cestoid, Bothriocephalus opsariichthydis. Nevertheless the parasitic state and life history of the cestoid are not yet reported. This reason led the author to study the parasitic state and life history of B. opsariichthydis parasitized in the carp in order to take effective control measures against its damage. Israeli carp were sampled from two fish farms, in Taech'on and Kyongch'on. After dissection of the specimens, the cestoid were obtained and the parasitic rates were examined. After taking the eggs from adult worms, the development of the eggs were observed. Coracidia were exposed to four kinds of crustaceans in order to investigate the infection rate and development of the larva. Finally, tile development of the larva in the final host was investigated. The fully mature eggs were in the cleavage stage, when they are released, and the size ranged 47.5 to 55.0 $(50.9){\times}30.0$ to 32.5 (31.1) um, in the state of under-developed coracidia and blastomeres. The parasitic rate of the cestoid in Israeli carp from Taechon was $55.5\%$ in 1984 and $21.6\%$ in 1985, that from Kyongchon was $64.7\%$ in 1984, and color carp from Kusan was $14.9\%$ in 1984. The eggs were hatched to coracidia within 48 hours under 26 to $28^{\circ}C$. The cestoid showed a strong affinity to Thermocyclops hyalinus and Paracyclops fimbriatus and the infection rates were $93.5\%$ and $75.5\%$, respectively. At 14 days after the infection to Thermocyclops hyalinus and Paracyclops fimbriatus, the larvae of the cestoid grew into fully developed procercoids; 207 to $226 (214){\times}90$ to 102 (94) um in size. Sixty days after carp have ingested the Thermocyclops hyalinus infected with the fully developed procercoids, the larvae of the cestoid matured into adult worms in the intestines of the carp.

This study was conducted to evaluate the possible utilization and the replacing range of fish meal analogue (FMA) as a dietary animal protein source for fish meal replacer in fingerling common carp, Cyprinus carpio. Leather meal, meat and bone meal, feather meal, squid liver powder, poultry by product meal, blood meal and amino acids were selected as ingredients for FMA. fish averaging 12.5 g were fed one of five isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets containing fish meal and/or FMA as the dietary animal protein sources. Fish meal protein (0, 20, 40, 60 or 100%) was replaced by the graded level of FMA protein. The feeding trial was conducted for 12 weeks after one week of conditioning period. Percent weight gain of fish fed diets containing 20%, 40% and 60% FMA were not significantly different from that of the fish fed the control diet (P>0.05). Feed conversion ratio of fish fed diets containing 20%, 40%, 60% and 100% FMA were not significantly different from that of fish fed control diet. These findings suggest that replacement of fish meal protein by FMA could be possible up to 60% of fish meal protein in fingerling Israeli carp diets.

To investigate the species and infection rate of Tripartiella sp in three species of freshwater fish, carp(Cyprinus carpio), goldfish(Crassius auratus) and Korean catfish(Parasilurus asotus), fish cultured in the fish farms next to Yosu and in the western area of Chunbuk province in Korea was examined from April to June, 1996. The infection rate was evaluated after observing the gill and mucous from 130 fish under the microscope. The species of Tripartiella was identified on the basis of the shape and number of denticle according to methods of Bychowsky(1985) after staining the parasites with 2% methyene blue solution. All the detected-parasite was classified as Tripartiella differed from Trichodina reported previously in our country. T carassii, T californica, T rhombi from Goldfish, T rhombi from common carp, T californica from Israeli carp and T bychowsky from Korean catfish were observed. In the fish from the fish farms in the western area of Chunbuk province, the infection rate of Tripartiella sp was ranged from 6.7% to 100%, but in neither carp nor goldfish from the farms next to Yosu the parasite detected.

Depending on the fish species the vascular tone is distinctively regulated by numerous vasoactive substances. In most fish species the regulatory role of autonomic neurotransmitters and other vasoactive substances are not well defined. This research was designed to delineate the regulatory role of various endogenous autonomic neurotransmitters known to be important in mammalian vascular systems on isolated Israeli carp ventral aorta. Acetylcholine(ACh) contracted the aorta regardless of the pre-existing level of vascular tone, and the contraction was almost completely abolished by a cholinergic-muscarinic antagonist atropine. Endogenous, multiple receptor ($\alpha$ and $\beta$)-acting adrenergic agonist epinephrine (Epi) relaxed the vessel in the presence and absence of the pre-existing tones. Another endogenous multiple receptoracting agonist norepinephrine (NE) weakly contracted the aorta in non-preconstrcted state, but the response was reversed to relaxation when preconstricted. Isoproterenol, ${\alpha}\;{\beta}$ adrenergic receptor agonist, was a potent vasodilator whereas an ${\alpha}_1$ agonist phenyephrine was a contractor. The ${\alpha}_2$ adrenergic receptor agonist clonidine has not any significant effect in altering the vascular tone. The vasorelaxing action of Epi, NE and isoproterenol was significantly attenuated by $\beta$ receptor antagonist propranolol. These results imply that ACh may primarily play a contractor role via muscarinic receptor activation while adrenergic agonists, Epi and NE, are relaxants through activation of $\beta$ adrenergic receptors in vivo.

The proximate and fatty acid compositions of the edible portion of three species of cultured freshwater fish (common eel Anguilla japonica, rainbow trout Onchorhynchus mykiss, and Israeli carp Cyprinus carpio) were compared between imports from China and domestically produced specimens. The lipid contents of cultured common eel and rainbow trout were rich in imported fishes (20.4 and 12.2%, respectively) compared with those in domestic ones (16.0 and 8.01%, respectively), while those of Israeli carp were rich only in the domestically produced specimens (8.06 and 3.07%, respectively). There was a negative correlation between the lipid and moisture contents in all fish samples (r =-0.86). The protein contents ranged from 16.6 to 21.3% in domestic fishes and 15.3 to 19.1% in imported ones. The most prominent fatty acids in the fishes were: saturated fatty acids, 16:0, 18:0 and 14:0; monounsaturated fatty acids, 18:1n-9, 16:1n-7 and 18:1n-7; and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), 18:2n-6, 22:6n-3 (docosahexaenoic acid, DHA), and 20:5n-3 (eicosapentaenoic acid, EPA). The percentage of n-3 PUFA (e.g., DHA, 22:5n-3, EPA, and 18:3n-3) was higher in domestic common eel and Israeli carp than in imported ones, but similar in domestic and imported rainbow trout, and higher in domestic wild rainbow trout than in cultured ones. On the other hand, all of the cultured freshwater fishes contained a relatively large amount of 18:2n-6, which is a characteristic fatty acid in cultured fish lipids.

Three strains of common carp, i. e. , Israeli carp, red-and-white, and golden strains, were stocked in the same pond, and their growth rates were compared with following results: From August 12 to November 21 in 1975, fingerlings of the three strains of common carp, Cyprinus carpo, each weighing about 0.5 g with total length of 2 to 3 cm, were stocked. The pond had an area of $316m^2$ with a mean water depth of 55cm, and the bottom was covered with a 20 to 30 cm thick layer of silt containing a considerable amount of decaying organic materials. Feed given was prepared with equal amounts of fish meal and polished barley, of which, in addition, $10\%$ green grass and $1\%$ table salt were mixed together when prepared into paste feed using a chopper after boiling the barley. Total protein content of the feed was $34.9\%$ in dry state with $5\%$ moisture content. Total feed given was 30.08 kg calculated in dry state to produce 20.588 kg of the common carp fingerlings, thus the feed coefficient being 1.51. By strains, the harvested Israeli carp ranged 98 to 311g each with a mean weight of $172.69g(100\%)$, red-and-white strain 15 to 318g with mean of $104.1g(60.3\%)$, and the golden strain 30 to 268g with mean of $128.7g(74.6\%)$. During the rearing season mean water temperature was $23.9^{\circ}C$ and the assumed main growth period with the water temperature above $15^{\circ}C$ was, upto the end of October, for 80 days with a mean water temperature of $23.9^{\circ}C$. Taking this main growth period as the basis for growth rate analysis, the mean daily increments, expressed as the attained body weight in times of the starting weight, become 1.075786 times (or the Israeli strain, 1.06901 times for the red-and-white strain, and 1.07185 times for the golden strain.
