Estimates of larval mortality for many marine fishes are based on field collections from several consecutive ichthyoplankton surveys, assuming that the surveys have covered the entire areas of larval habitats. The oceanic environment, however, is so dynamic and complicated that planktonic forms cannot stay within a confined area for a prolonged period. This note is prepared as a more detailed explanation of the estimates of fish larval mortality in the oceanic dispersing system, as a supplement of Kim and Bang (1990).

Through previous studies, the central nervous system (CNS) was collected by dividing the scuttle fly into larval, pupa, and adult stages by developmental stage, and the morphological characteristics were observed. In situ hybridization (ISH) using the collected central nervous system, it was possible to confirm the location and extent of expression of the neurotransmitter corazonin (Crz) at each stage of development. In this study, paraffin specimens were prepared using central nervous system tissues of 3rd instar larval stage of scuttle fly, which had completed in situ hybridization, and general histochemical staining (hematoxylin-eosin, H-E) and special histochemical staining (luxol fast blue-cresyl violet) was performed to observe the histological and cytological morphology characteristics of corazonin neurons. As a result, a variety of nerve cell body existed between many myelin sheath. The corazonin neurons compose cortex of central nervous system with other neurons congregating in this tissue and show larger cell body relatively in neurohistochemical analysis.

Development and distribution of Japanese mantis shrimp, Oratosquilla oratoria (De Haan) larvae were investigated in the northwestern water off Incheon. O. oratoria larvae were monthly collected at 15 stations from early June to early October in 2007. Bongo net with 330 and 505 um mesh was deployed in a double once with an oblique tow way. Larval densities were relatively higher in southerner stations in July and in northerner stations in August and September. No larvae were discovered in June. Zoea I and II were not captured during the entire sampling period. Zoea III occurred in July for the first time and were found until September. Thereafter, the proportion of later stages increased. The number of zoeal stages decreased during the summer months and no larvae were found in October. Of zoeal stages, zoea IV was the most abundant in number. Zoeal densities were highest in July and August, particularly at the stations near the coast. O. oratoria larvae may be retained and grow within our study sites without advection to growing areas. Non-occurrence of zoea I and II indicate that they were retained near spawning grounds or near parental burrows. Pattern of larval occurrence was coincided with previous researches conducted in conspecific distribution ranges.

Distribution and occurrence of swimming crab, Portunus trituberculatus larvae were investigated in the mid-western coast of Korea in the Yellow Sea. P. trituberculatus larvae were collected in July and August from 2010 to 2012. Bongo net with 303 mesh was deployed once with a double oblique tow. Zoea I (ZI) densities were highest in all sampling months. Then densities of later larval stages decreased dramatically. In general, larval densities at the stations in northern parts and coastal areas were higher than those at the southern and offshore area. Because egg bearing seasons of P. trituberculatus in the study area are between April and August, larval densities, particularly, of ZI may be underestimated. Considering higher densities of ZI and lower ones of later stages, larvae may be transported to growing area and returned to the parental populations. Larval densities and sea surface temperature were not correlated.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of temperatures and food sources on the egg and larval developmentof the tobacco cutworm, Spodoptera litura Fabricius. The hatchability of egg masses of S. liturawas 100% on the leaf of soybean, perilla and sweet potato in any given temperature regimes, while the hatchabilitywas only 65-8796 when reared on the pulp paper and decreased as temperature increased. Egg durationwas not significantly different among different food sources within each temperature. However, egg duration at32$^{\circ}$C was shorter than that at 24$^{\circ}$C and 28$^{\circ}$C. During the early larval development, at 28$^{\circ}$C and 32$^{\circ}$C the larvafed on sweet potato leaf was heavier than those fed on soybean and perilla leaves and the opposite case wastrue during mid-larval development stage. However, larval weight at 24$^{\circ}$C was heavier on sweet potato leafthan that on soybean and perilla leaves until 12 days after hatching. This result was probably due to relativelyslower developmental rate at 24$^{\circ}$C compared to 28$^{\circ}$C and 32$^{\circ}$C. The mean larval mortality was 68.896, 44.5%and 33.8% at 24$^{\circ}$C. 28$^{\circ}$C and 32"C, respectively. The lowest mortality was observed on soybena leaf and followedby perilla and sweet potato leaves, and artificial diet regardless of temperature conditions. The durationwas the shortest when they fed on soybean leaf, and followed by perilla and sweet potato leaves and artificialdiet. Larval durations were 23.6-30.4 days at 24$^{\circ}$C. 18.6-22.3 days at 28$^{\circ}$C and 14.5-18.0 days at 32$^{\circ}$C. Thethreshold temperatures of egg and larva of S. litura were about 6.l"C and 10.9"C, respectively.t 6.l"C and 10.9"C, respectively.pectively.

Purpose: This study was aimed to compare the nutritional content of the life stages of Tenebrio molitor. Methods: Nutritional element analysis comprised 12 minerals, 18 amino acids, 4 vitamins, and 12 fatty acids in larval, pupal, and adult stages. Nutritional element content was expressed as a percentage of 100 g of sample and determined in raw and freeze-dried samples to assess the food value of the insect. Results: Moisture, crude protein, and crude fat contents in raw samples were 63.5%, 23.19%, and 3.96%, respectively. Moisture content was significantly higher in the adult stage than in larval and pupal stages, whereas crude fat and crude ash contents were lower. Mineral composition of the mealworm showed K, P, and Mg in decreasing order of content, with no differences among life stages. Total amino acid content increased from adult, pupal to larval stages, in order with each stage's growth, without difference in amino acid composition. Seventy-six to 78% of total fatty acid corresponded to unsaturated fatty acids, with oleic acid as the most abundant. In addition, fatty acid content was high in the adult stage, and clear differences were observed between life stages. Finally, vitamins B1 and B3 showed similar content between life stages, whereas vitamin B2 showed a higher content the adult than larval and pupal stages. A higher folate content was observed in pupal and adult stages than in the larval stage. Although freeze-dried samples showed a higher nutritional content than raw samples, both samples were similar in composition and content between life stages, suggesting the suitability of freeze-dried samples for use as food materials. Conclusion: These results may provide a basis for more diversified industrial applications of the Tenebrio molitor.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of rotifer fed the different diets in high density culture on larval flounder Paralichthys olivaceus. Potifer was enriched with enrichment supplements, Marine ${\alpha}\;and\;{\omega}-yeast$ for 6 hours after being cultured with freshwater Chlorella for 18 hours during high density culture before it was fed to larval flounder. And rotifer was culutured with marine Chlorella and freshwater Chlorella for 24 hours during semi-continuous high density culture before it was fed to larval flounder. Culture tanks(21 working volum) set for rotifer culture in a water bath($28{\circ}C$) were continuously supplied with oxygen gas. The content of n-3 HUFA to fatty acids in rotifer(dry weight ${\%}$) enriched with Marine ${\alpha}$ for 6 hours and cultures with marine Chlorella for 24 hours were higher than that in rotifer enriched with ${\omega}-yeast$ for 6 hours or cultured with freshwater Chlorella for 24 hours. The growth and survival rates of larval flounder fed on rotifer enriched with Marine ${\alpha}$ for 6 hours and cultured with marine Chlorella for 24 hours were higher than those of larval flounder fed on rotifer enriched with ${\omega}-yeast$ for 6 hours or cultured with freshwater Chlorella for 24 hours. And the content of n-3 HUFA of larval flounder fed on rotifer enriched with Marine ${\alpha}$ for 6 hours was higher than that of larval flounder fed on other rotifers, The results from this study indicated that rotifer culture with marine Chiorelia would be suitable for the high density culture and effective diet for the growth of larval flounder.

Larvae of Metapenaeopsis dalei (Rathbun) were successfully spawned and reared in the laboratory under controlled conditions. The experiments were designed to examine effects of salinity (20, 25, 30 and 35), temperature (21, 24 and $27^{\circ}C$ ) and food (five items) on larval development, survival and growth, Salinity affected larval survival, from $\%$ at 20, to $60\%$ at 35 (protozoea 1 to first postlarva), The highest survival rate was obtained at $35\%_{\circ}$. Temperature affected larval survival, from $46\%$ at $27^{\circ}C$ to $54\%$ at $21^{\circ}C$(protozoea 1 to first postlarva). The highest survival rate was obtained at $24^{\circ}C$. Mortality was the highest from protozoea 1 to protozoea 3, but decreased considerably for all temperatures once the mysis stage was reached. Larval growth was affected by different of food items. Phytoplankton (Isochrysis galbana) was the optimum food for the larval survival and the growth from protozoea 3 to first postlarva.

Supply of ntrition-balanced feed is very important for growth of fish, especially for growth of early period of fish. Therefore, most of commercial feeds for larval and juvenile fish are relatively expensive due to high level of the several nutrients to satisfy their requirements for growth. Overfeeding larval fish may increase fish production cost because of larvae feeds high price and deteriorate water quality, eventually reduce growth of fish. (omitted)
