This study used response surface methodology to investigate the optimal conditions to reduce the bitterness of alcalase-treated anchovy hydrolysate (AAH) by the aminopeptidase active fraction (AAF) derived from the common squid Todarodes pacificus hepatopancreas. The central composite design selected AAF/AAH ratio (X₁, %) and hydrolysis time (X₂, h) as independent variables, and the degree of hydrolysis (Y₁) and bitterness (Y₂) as dependent variables. The uncoded values of the multiple response optimization for independent variables were 3.4% for the AAF/AAH ratio and 9.2 h for the hydrolysis time. The predicted values of the yield and bitterness score of alcalase-AAF continuously treated anchovy hydrolysate (AAAH) under the optimized conditions were 68.9% and 4.6 points, respectively. Their measured values of 69.5% for yield and 4.6±0.5 points for bitterness were similar to the predicted values. The food components of AAAH were 91.4% (moisture), 7.5% (protein), 0.1% (lipid) and 0.6% (ash). The findings indicate the potential value for use as an anchovy seasoning base. The results also confirm that the bitterness of AAH was remarkably improved by AAF and implicates AAF derived from squid hepatopancreas as a good enzyme to catalyze reduced bitterness.

This study optimized the vegetable rice porridge preparation process with Israeli carp Cyprinus carpio (VRP-IC). The optimum heating period for Israeli carp paste (IC-P) in a retort was 120 min as per yield results. Response surface methodology was performed with IC-P/[rice (glutinous rice: non-glutinous rice=6:4) (Rice, RI)+vegetable (carrot: zucchini=1:1) (vegetable, VE)] (X₁) and RI/VE (X₂) as independent variables; viscosity (Y₁), hardness (Y₂), amino nitrogen (Y₃), and overall sensory acceptance (Y₄) as dependent variables. Optimum rates of IC-P, RI, and VE were 47.37%, 24.49%, and 28.15%, respectively; predicted multiple response optimum values for the dependent variables were 20,150 mPa·s, 2,002.9 N/m2, 193.1 mg/100 g, and a 6.4 score for Y₁, Y₂, Y₃, and Y₄, respectively. Under optimum conditions, experimental values for Y₁, Y₂, Y₃, and Y₄ were 20,359.8±191.9 mPa·s, 2,015.0±9.6 N/m2, 188.1±4.9 mg/100 g, and a 6.5±0.2 score, respectively, which were not significantly different from the predicted values (P < 0.05). Results of F0 value, viscosity, hardness, volatile odor intensity, and browning suggested that the optimum sterilization period was 25 min. VRP-IC prepared under the optimum conditions was superior to commercial vegetable rice porridges in sensory evaluations.

This study was conducted to optimize the cookie preparation using Israeli crap Cyprinus carpio paste (C-ICP). The results of response surface methodology suggested the selection of other supplementary materials/[soft flour (SF) + ICP] (X₁) and SF/ICP (X₂) as independent variables, and hardness (Y₁), yellowness (Y₂), amino acid nitrogen (Y₃), and overall sensory acceptance (Y₄) as dependent variables. The optimal conditions of OS, SF, and ICP were 35.0%, 40.3% and 24.7%, respectively, and the predicted values of the multiple response optimal conditions Y₁, Y₂, Y₃, and Y₄ were 2,006.2 N/m2, 21.1, 30.0 mg/100 g, and a score of 6.6, respectively. Under the optimum conditions, experimental values of Y₁, Y₂, Y₃, and Y₄ were 2,010.5 ± 22.3 N/m2, 21.6 ± 0.5, 29.6 ± 0.7 mg/100 g, and a score of 6.9 ± 0.3, respectively, which were not significantly different from the predicted values (P < 0.05). The results on hardness, moisture, VCI yellowness, and lightness suggested that the optimum heating period was 20 min. C-ICP prepared under the optimum conditions was superior in sensory evaluation to cookies without the Israeli carp paste.

In this study, nanotoxicity tests were made by exposure of Artemia salina to copper (Cu 60-80 nm) and copper oxide (CuO 40 nm) nanoparticles (NPs) at different concentrations (0.2, 1, 5, 10, 25, and 50 mg/L). The LC₅₀ value of Cu (60-80 nm) NPs on the A. salina individuals at the beginning (0), 24^th, 48^th and 72^nd hours and elimination period was 52.37 mg/L while the LC₅₀ value of CuO (40 nm) NPs was 55.39 mg/L. The results of UV-Vis absorbance values showed that all statistical data revealed that maximum effect was observed between 24-30 hours and 25 ppm absorbance concentration was more effective. The multiple R, correlation coefficient (R2) and adjusted R2 values of Cu NP for the suitable Quadratic model were, respectively; 92.96 %, 86.42 % and 76.71 % while they are 98.31 %, 96.64 % and 94.25 % for CuO NP. Also, the data, was indicated effect size significantly changed based on the type and size of NP. Considering the microscope results, it was clearly noticed that A. salina organisms took the NPs in to their body. The accumulation in the gut of A. salina was observed and the images were taken with phase contrast microscope for both of NPs. The highest decrease for survival rates of A. salina individuals exposed to Cu NP was observed in the 10 ppm concentration (43.47 %) and in the 5 ppm concentration (46.20 %) for CuO NP. The results revealed that Cu and CuO NPS showed different toxic effects and that Cu NPs were more toxic than CuO.

As hypoxia adversely affects the marine environment in northwestern Gamak Bay every summer, the present study determined its comprehensive occurrence mechanisms using the Multiple Regression Analysis (MRA) and suggested management directions based on the primary MRA factors. The first hypoxia occurred by thermocline related to weather conditions, with organic matter deposited inside the bay on 26^th June, 2017. Additionally, on 12^th July, halocline was also developed by increased rainfall, and the hypoxia was most expanded horizontally and vertically. The primary factors were the stratification and deposited organic matter. In contrast, the hypoxia correlated to phytoplankton growth and deposited organic matter on 8^th August was diminished with remarkably less precipitation. However, the stable halocline was caused by massive precipitation, and the reproduced phytoplankton re-generated the expanded hypoxia on 16^th August despite a short sampling interval. Subsequently, the hypoxia influenced by the deposited organic matter spread shallowly along the seafloor on 13^th September as the extinction period. These results suggest that stratification alleviation technologies, and the improvement and removal of the organic matter deposited on the surface sediment are necessary.

Modern society has required to make maximization of the public benefit for forests. The increased public interest and concern for forests have been resulted from high mechanization of industrial activity associated with development of national economy, expansion of urban population, and necessity of more Leisure time caused by improvement of standard living condition. Attention shifted to the managing of forest (and on the basis of multiple use concept, achieving both public benefit and economic function. Management standards and control must be strengthened on all operations to encompass the various forest resources; outdoor recreation, watersheds, wildlife and fisheries, timber, rangeland, and aesthetic values. Particularly, in order to determine public interests and balance the needs in relation to available resources, more research is essential to develope and activate quantification of these intangeble forest resource values.

Effective machine capacity is affected by the physical and geometrical conditions of the fields. In the small and scattered farmland structure field efficiency is greatly influenced by plot geometry. In this paper, a method for estimating field efficiency and effective machine capacity was developed . The developed method was applied to Korean paddy cultivation. Various time elements related to farm operations for small and scattered plots are discussed in this paper . Available working time is divided into two parts, viz. the preparation time for machine operation and actual working time. Two kinds of machine efficiencies, namely , Machine Efficiency 1, applicable on a single large plot or set of well consolidated plots ; and Machine Efficiency 2, applicable on small and scattered multiple plots, are considered. Based assumptions made and steps followed to construct the model are discussed. Effective capacity of each machine based on different plot geometries are calculated y the model. Machine efficiency on a single plot increases with increase in the dimension of longer side of the plot . Low speed, low theoretical capacity machines have higher machine efficiency which is only slightly influenced by plot geometry. As plot geometry is improved , the machine efficiency of high speed, high capacity machines increases rapidly. The effects of short side length and plot size on machine efficiency on a single plot depend on the type of farm operation. For a particular plot shape, as plot size increases, machine efficiency on multiple plots increases rapidly. The effects of consolidation on machine efficiency is highly significant if the plot size is small and/or machine size is large.

In this paper, fishery economics is reviewed to extend a basic opportunity for developing new fishery economics and to evaluate the effects of the import liberalization on the fish trade structure of Korea. The principle outline of extensions emphasis to realize the modern fishery problems based on fishery economics and develop the practical methodology in order to analyze the impacts of the import liberalization on the fishery and fishermen welfare. During the process of export - oriented industrilization, the role and position of fishery in the economy is changed dynamically. When faced with the imperative of the role and position of fishery in the economy, fishery economists and domestic policy makers must decide how to organize themselves for solving fishery problems under the new regime in the import liberalization on the fish trade. Fishery problems impacted by the new regime can not be solved by fishery itself but be solved by the centralized efforts of all contributors in national views. Therefore the new systematic analytical methodology must be develop and the traditional fishery economics must be related to the regional development strategy and fishery sociology as subsidiary theories specialized. Due to the impacts of the import liberalization on the fish trade structure, fishery economists face with radical changes in the domestic fishery : a place of the resources harvest to place of the combination resource harvest and its demand, a fishing as a resource exploitation to a fishing as a resource management, a traditional small scale costal fishing to a modernized and scaled fishing, fishery using the given natural resource itself to fishery as technology intensive industry, and a food supply industry to a welfare indusry based on the regional and economic resource and social environment. As these changes, fishery and its community's regional and economic resource and social environments as multiple roles of the regional economic development are emphasized in fishery economics under the new regime in the import liberalization on the fish trade. Furthermore, domestic policy makers and administrators in a public sector must realize the above radical changing trends in fishery and understand a social and economic environment in fishery and develop a new fishery structure focusing on the fishing system and the fishery laws. As this point, they make efforts to improve and develop fishery as a food supply industry. Japan, for example, has a non - governmental organization to conflict the problem of international fishery such as a movement of a civil environmental protection. Also fishermen in Japan already realized conservation and pollution problems in fishing as fundamental issues of human being.

Salted and dried yellow corvenia(Pseudosciaena manchurica), so called 'Gul-bi', is one of nation-widely consuming fish foo::ls. It is suitable for a long term preservation and its pro-duce is also a great deal on sea food processing in this country. The texture of 'Gul-bi', however, have often appeared to be a delicate factor for the quality of the product. The loss or dislocation of fat in the tissue of the fish resulted by salting and drying is believed to profoundly relate to the texture of product. In this paper, the tissue of yellow corvenia and movement of fat were microscopically observed before salting, immediately after salting, and after drying and the results observed in the tissues dry salted, brine salted, and brine salted with the addition of BHA were compared. The cross section of yellow corvenia muscle showed that a distinctive border by connective tissue between white and red muscle could not be seen in general, and red muscle was surrounded by hypodermic fatty tissues. In the tissue of fresh yellow corvenia, the fat was mainly distributed in hypodermic fat layer which located under the corium while rarely distributed in white muscle. It was found that some parts of the fat in the tissue were permeated into intermuscular tissue passing through the connective tissues during salting. The result Was the same in both dry-salting and brine-salting tissue. However, the fat translocated into intermuscular tissues disappeared during drying process in the salted without BHA tissues whereas in BHA added tissue. This result suggested that BHA may take a role of multiple effect in translocation of fat in tissues as well as in retarding oxidation. In an advanced stage of salted and dehydration, the muscle fibers were ajoined together and then limits between muscle fibers already became indistinguishable. And the migrated fat into intermuscular tissue aggregated around the connective tissue and are apt to gradually to flow out from the muscular system through these tissues.

This study was conducted to study the reproductive cycle in female fusilier, Caesio diagramma by using the histological methods. Histological changes of the ovary were well correlated with the patterns of gonadosomatic index (GSI) and hepatosomatic index (HSI). GSI was increased in April as the value of HSI increase and reached to its maximum in May and June. Oocytes at the chromatin-nucleolus and peri-nucleolus stages were observed in the ovary throughout the year. In April, oocytes containing yolk appeared in ovaries of a few fishes. Most oocytes appearing in May and June belonged to the tertiary yolk stage. Frequency of oocytes appearance at the tertiary yolk stage in May and June was higher than that of the other months. Moreover, the empty follicles and atretic oocytes were observed in the ovaries with many vitellogenic oocytes during these two months. Thereafter, oocytes of the yolk stage disappeared in September. The spawning period of C. diagramma is from the month of April to June, and this species belongs to an asynchronous and multiple spawner.
