The purpose of this paper is to find out how catches of certain species of marine fish in China influence the marine fisheries of Korea. The results are as follows: 1) While the catches of the main species of marine fish are over 74% in Korea, those of China are under 45%. 2) The main species of marine fish in China(MFC) are hair tails, jack mackerels, anchovies, mackerels, Spanish mackerels, pomfrets, redlip croakers, fie fish, sea breams, sardines, croakers and bigeyed herrings. 3) All the MFC belong to the main species of marine fish in Korea. 4) The fishing grounds of hair tails, jack mackerels, mackerels, Spanish mackerels, pomfrets and croakers in China are similar to those of Korea. 5) Catches of hair tails, jack mackerels, Spanish mackerels, pomfrets, file fish, sea breams and bigeyed herrings in China are many times more than those in Korea. Therefore Korea can't compete with China with such species of marine fish. 6) The price of MFC apart from mackerels and sardines is more competitive than the price of such species in Korea. When the catches of China's marine fish are imported, the species of China's marine fish that will have a great influence on the marine fisheries of Korea are hair tails, jack mackerels, pomfrets and sea breams.

We investigated the general composition, fatty acid composition and mineral content of ten kinds of marketed(3 domestic and 7 imported) mackerels. The moisture contents of domestic mackerels ranged from $62.9{\sim}67.8%$, and those of imported mackerels ranged from $61.1{\sim}74.7%$. Ash content was less than 2% in all mackerels. Crude protein content was greatest in Oman mackerel(24.1%) and lowest in UK mackerel(19.7%). Lipids contents ranged from 1.4%(Chile mackerel) to 19.7% (UK mackerel); mackerels with high lipid content tend to have low moisture content. Saturated fatty acids ranged from 18.2% to 31.1% of the total fatty acids content. The mackerel imported from Chile(26.8%) contained the least monoenes, while UK mackerel monoene content(48.7%) was highest. Polyenes were lowest in Tong-yeong mackerel(30.9%) and highest in Chile mackerel(50.0%). DHA content was highest in Chile mackerel(36.4%) and lowest in USA mackerel(14.6%). The mineral content of mackerels were in increasing order; K, Na, Mg, Ca, Fe, Zn and P. The K, Na, Mg and Ca content ranged from $261{\sim}420$, $261{\sim}420$, $37{\sim}176$, $34{\sim}49$ and $5{\sim}22mg/100g$, respectively.

Chub and blue mackerels are popular fish resources in Korea, but little is known about each biochemical characters of different anatomical regions. To investigate biochemical characters of chub and blue mackerels, three ordinary muscle regions were identified by their fin position; namely anterior, median, posterior. In addition, red muscle, as a dark muscle, was obtained from beneath the lateral line to compare with ordinary muscles. Proximate and lipid-class compositions did not show any discernible trends in the different anatomical ordinary muscles from mackerel of the same kind, while significant differences between ordinary and red muscles in the same mackerel, or between chub and blue mackerels, were observed. Red muscles from both mackerels had higher levels in lipids with higher neutral lipid class compared with ordinary muscles. The major difference between chub and blue mackerels was the levels of lipids and neural lipid class, indicating that all muscles from chub mackerel showed higher levels of neural lipids compared with those of blue mackerel (P<0.05). Fatty acid compositions showed that the percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), especially docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3), in median and posterior was higher compared with anterior muscle from both mackerels. When compared with chub mackerel, blue mackerel showed higher percentage of DHA in all muscle regions. In amino acid analysis, taurine concentration was much higher in the red muscle than in the ordinary muscles. But levels of histamine, glutamic acid, leucine and lysine were higher in the ordinary muscles. Our results indicated that chub mackerel contained more lipids than blue mackerel and that red muscle had higher levels of neural lipid and taurine compared to ordinary muscles.

Inverse demand models are well established as market demands in theory and practice of the existing literature. However, the derivation and its interpretation of individual demands from the market demands are not well known in the literature. This paper analyzes the fish market in Korea by the inverse demand model and shows how we deduce the consumer's responses from the market responses when the markets determine the prices by the quantities demanded. It illustrates empirically how this can be done applying to the korean fish market data. The empirical results show that all fishes are price inflexible and mackerels and hairtails are scale flexible in the market demand while mackerels, hairtails, and croakers are price elastic and mackerels and hairtails are income inelastic in the individual demand. The methodology and empirics used in the paper will make a contribution to the existing literature especially for the purpose of recovering consumer's demand from the market demand, thus implementing the policies to administer the fish markets.

Laminated films were prepared by casting corn-zein and fatty acid mixed solutions onto ${\kappa}-carrageenan$ films, and the effect of various fatty acids with different concentrations on the film properties such as water vapor permeabilities (WVP), tensile strength (TS) and elongation was investigated. WVP of the film decreased as concentration of fatty acids increased, and the lowest WVP value $(0.497\;ng\;m/m^2\;s\;Pa)$ was achieved with laminated films containing 30% lauric acid/corn-zein. The TS of laminated edible film seemed to decrease as the concentration of fatty acids increased, and TS of the laminated film was the highest (36.21 MPa) when the film contained 10% oleic acid. Weight loss of the minced mackerels packaged with corn-zein/carrageenan film which did not contain fatty acid was 11.7%, but weight losses of the samples packaged with oleic acid and lauric acid were 6.97% and 0.81%, respectively, after 30 days storage at $-20^{\circ}C$. The laminated films had an effect on preventing oxidation of the minced mackerels during storage because of high oxygen barrier property of the film. All of the minced mackerels packaged with the laminated films greatly reduced the peroxide value (POV) compared with unpackaged minced mackerels during storage. Also, thiobarbituric acid (TBA) values of the minced mackerels packaged with the laminated films were lower than that of unpackaged minced mackerels during storage.

This study was conducted to obtain basic data for developing a special salted mackerel. For this purpose, food quality characterization data on 11 kinds of salted commercial mackerels were gathered. Korean Industrial Standards (KSH 6029) stipulate that a salted mackerel should be less than $1.0{\times}10^6\;CFU/g$ in viable cells, negative for Escherichia coli, less than 50 mg% for volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) and less than 3% for salinity. Only one sample (code 10) among the 11 kinds of commercial salted mackerels is believed to posses acceptable limits according to KSH 6029. The others except code 2 and 4 showed less than 50 mg/kg in histamine content, a safe range for allergies. The peroxide values of 4, 5, 7, 10 and 11 in sample code were lower than 22 meq/kg, which were low compared to the other salted mackerels. The major fatty acids of all salted mackerels were 16:0 (13.2-22.1%), 18:1n-9 (11.7-23.1%), and 22:6n-3 (13.5-20.4%). The Hunter color values ranged from 31.1 to 51.0 (average 37.9) for lightness, from 0.6 to 8.1 (average 3.3) for redness, from -2.9 to 9.3 (average 5.8) for yellowness, and from 46.8 to 65.8 (average 59.5) for color difference. From these results, it was concluded that the code 10 is superior than the other salted mackerels. Thus, a new salted mackerel product should be superior or similar to the food quality characteristics of this sample.

Fisheries buyback programs in Korea have been implemented since 1994, and their scales are estimated to be the present value of 930 billion won for the last 9 yens since 1994. The paper attempts to identify the patterns of each fish species, of which their yields can be steadily increased or significant]y decreased, and to evaluate its effective level and the optimal level for buyback programs by means of fishing capacity analysis. The paper distinguishes fish species, that there is no need to reduce the fishing efforts, such as anchovies, mackerels, squids, Spanish mackerels, and herrings, because MSY exceeds yields, from fish species to control overfishing such as file fish, yellow corvenias, young pollack, hair tail, snow crab, and pollack. The paper also suggests that 65% of the fishing efforts (total tonnages) should be cut back at the national aggregate level in order to restore fish stocks.

Purpose: This study analyzed and compared the physico-chemical and affective properties between mackerels cooked by an electric pan and under superheated steam. Methods: Mackerel were cooked by an electric pan ($95^{\circ}C$) for 10 min and mackerel cooked under superheated steam ($250^{\circ}C$) for 5 min to be internal temperatures of $75{\pm}5^{\circ}C$ and tests to measure proximate composition, color values, texture profiles, microorganism counts and sensory acceptance were performed. Results: The moisture contents were 60.30% and 73.81% in mackerels cooked by electric pan and under superheated steam, respectively. The rate of weight loss in mackerel cooked by electric pan was 39%, whereas it was 29% in mackerel cooked under superheated steam. Mackerel cooked under superheated steam exhibited more yellowness, higher springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness, and resilience with more acceptable preferences (appearance, odor, taste, and texture) compared to the mackerel cooked by electric pan. Conclusion: The application of superheated steam technology to fish products could reduce the cooking time and nutritional loss. Also, it could produce highly preferred fish products compared to that prepared by conventional electric pan.

This paper aims to find out the problems and improvement direction of quality control and hygiene management of fishery products in Korea. For this reason, we conducted a comparative analysis of quality control and hygiene management of fishing, landing and selling between Japan and Korea, taking mackerel as an example. Japan has established a systematic freshness management system from fishing to landing (production) areas and consumption areas. On the other hand, Korea is not fully lead-managed in the production area after fishing, and is distributed in a state where the quality of the product is deteriorated due to exposure to room temperature. Accordingly, a certain quality can not be secured at the final consumption stage, and sanitary problems occur. In order to improve the quality control and hygiene management of the fishery products, the following needs to be improved. First, we will improve the fishing level freshness management system. Second, we will improve the quality control and hygiene management of fish in the production area and wholesale stage. Third, we will promote the introduction of innovative sales and consignment sales systems at the production stage. Fourth, we will establish a consistent low temperature distribution system from the production area to the wholesale stage from a long-term perspective. Fifth, we will promote the development and education of manuals on fish quality and hygiene management.
