The morphological development of larvae and juvenile of Sebastes taczanowskii were studied. The S. taczanowskii were caught at Goseong-gun, Gangwon-do from March in 2016. Larvae beared at water temperature of 11~12℃ (mean 11.5±0.5℃). The just beared larvae were 5.25~5.96 mm (mean 5.60±0.19 mm, n=30) in total length and their mouth and anus were already opened. They began to eat rotifer and transformed to postlarvae stage. 35 days after bearing postlarvae was measured 7.16~11.4 mm (mean 9.02±1.00 mm) in total length and the tip of notochord was bent upward. 48 days after bearing juvenile was measured 9.45~18.7 mm (mean 14.4±1.75 mm) in total length with dorsal fin rays XIII, 13~15; anal fin rays III, 6~8; caudal fin rays 16.

To determine the predation rate of threadsail filefish, we conducted feeding experiment of threadsail filefish, Stephanolepis cirrhifer on different life stages (medusae, ephyrae, and polyps) of Aurelia aurita s.l. in the laboratory. All size groups of threadsail filefish actively preyed on moon jellyfish Aurelia aurita s.l. and predation rate was proportional to the wet weight of threadsail filefish. Average wet weight 0.5, 1, 2.2 g of threadsail filefish preyed on average $0.77{\pm}0.51g\;fish^{-1}h^{-1}$ of medusae. Average wet weight 150 and 344 g of threadsail filefish preyed on $9.26{\pm}1.61$ and $15.89{\pm}3.67g\;fish^{-1}h^{-1}$ of medusae respectively. In ephyrae and polyps, average wet weight 3.7 g of juvenile of threadsail filefish preyed on 100 ephyrae within 10 minutes and average wet weight 2.2 g of juvenile of threadsail filefish preyed on $5.73{\pm}0.59$ polyps $g^{-1}$ of fish $h^{-1}$. Whereas adults of threadsail filefish did not prey on polyps. In feeding preference experiments to elucidate whether threadsail filefish prey on moon jellyfish in the sea, adults of threadsail filefish preyed on mostly oysters (ca. 60%) and polychaetes (ca. 80%). Medusae were consumed only 2% of total. However, juvenile of threadsail filefish preyed on ephyrae and polyps as well as mysid shrimps. Besides, polyps were consistently consumed during the experiment. Although juvenile of threadsail filefish consumed all kinds of prey, they ceased feeding at temperatures below $11^{\circ}C$, which suggests that possibility of predation on ephyrae may be very low in the sea because ephyrae are released at low temperatures below $11^{\circ}C$ from March to April. Whereas polyps are inhabitable in all seasons in Korean coastal waters, juvenile of threadsail filefish may prey on polyps in the sea. These results suggest that removing moon jellyfish at polyp stage by using juvenile of threadsail filefish is the most effective way for extermination of moon jellyfish.

Feathers are one of the integument appendages that form the outer covering, or plumage, on birds. The goslings hatch with a downy coat of feathers formed in embryonic development. They moult the natal plumage into juvenile feathers between 3-5 weeks of age and than moult that juvenile plumage into adult plumage between 8-11 weeks of age. Feather weight of an adult goose makes up about 6.2% of its total body weight. Heritability of the feather production ability is relatively low ($h^2$ = 0.35). Within species or genotype, the quantity and composition of the plumage are affected by genetics (age, body weight or body surface area, feathering rate, sex) and environmental factors (nutrition and production system, weather, microclimate). After slaughter some 90-220 g marketable feathers can be obtained per goose. The yield of feathers and down from each hand-harvesting amounts to between 80 to 120 g per goose, depending upon the frequency and degree of completeness of the harvesting.

This study examines the morphological features of larval and postlarval shells of the paedomorphic bivalve Crenella decussata Montagu, 1808 from the Sea of Japan. During the early morphogenesis of the shell of C. decussata the following characteristics appear: prodissoconch I -the anterior and posterior provincular teeth, a broad primary ligament pit located on the chondrophore; nepioconch - the anterior and posterior juvenile teeth,primary lateral teeth, fine commarginal and radial sculpture. Larvae of C. decussata distinctly differ from other mytilid larvae by a D-shaped shell, absence of umbo, astraight hinge margin, and homogeneous fine-grained sculpture without co-marginal lines of growth. These shell characters indicate lecithotrophic development of this species. Some morphostructures are revealed which might be used in crenellin taxonomy.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of size grading on growth, feed efficiency and survival of juvenile olive flounder. Juvenile flounder were divided into four groups by initial average size; Small group $(1.3{\pm}0.23g)$, medium group $(3.1{\pm}0.45g)$, large group $(4.9{\pm}0.57g)$ and ungraded group $(3.3{\pm}1.66g)$. Triplicate groups of 100 fish were reared over 8 weeks. In final body weight distribution, frequency of the small size flounder (10 g) was markedly higher in the ungraded group than in the small group. Specific growth rate, feed efficiency and survival in the ungraded group were significantly lower (P<0.05) than those in the pooled data of the othor three graded groups, although feed intake in the ungraded group was significantly higher (P<0.05) than that of the pooled data of the other three graded groups. These results show that the small flounder gained significantly faster growth and higher survival in the absence of the large flounder. Therefore, size grading seems to be an important and necessary operation to improve the growth and survival of juvenile olive flounder (1-5 g).

This study was conducted to investigate the utilization of Sargassum meal in the diet on juvenile ayu (Plecoglossus altivelis) reared in seawater. White fish meal and wheat flour were used as the dietary protein and carbohydrate sources in the control diet. Wheat flour in the control diet was replaced with $5\%$ and $10\%$ Sargassum meal. Three replicate groups of fish average weighing 4.0 g were fed one of three isonitrogenous$(45\%)$ and isocaloric (14.5 MJ /kg diet) diets for 7 weeks. Survival of all groups were above $80\%$. Weight gain, feed efficiency and protein efficiency ratio were not significantly affected by dietary Sargassum meal levels (P>0.05). There were no significant differences (P>0.05) in moisture, crude protein, crude lipid, crude ash and fatty acid compositions of whole-body fish among groups. It is concluded that Sargassum meal could be used as a dietary additive or alternative low-cost dietary ingredient up to $10\%$ for juvenile ayu reared in seawater.

Laying hens' excrement from eating food wastes was mixed with paper mill sludge, aged for 21 days and then provided to the juvenile earthworms(Eisenia fetida) for 10 weeks. Biomass of earthworm population decreased by 5.7% of initially introduced population. Very few juvenile earthworms developed into the clitellates and clitellated earthworms could not produce cocoons at all, which was supposed to be caused by inhibition effects of salts in laying hens' excrement upon the sexual development of Eisenia fetida. But there was no significant effect on the survivorship of earthworm population.
