Red lip mullet Chelon haematocheilus (body weight = $468{\pm}91g$) which became sick during an outbreak of disease at mariculture facilities at Cheonsu Bay, Korea, during July-August 2013, were examined to identify the cause of the disease. Diseased mullets displayed green liver syndrome, and Lactococcus garvieae were isolated from their internal organs. Argulus sp., Trichodina sp., and/or Vibrio spp. were also discovered in some infected fish. Histopathological examination revealed that fatty liver syndrome with hepatocyte degeneration, reflected in heterokaryons, inflammatory lesions, and melanomacrophage centers ($MMC_S$), had caused fibrosis around the kidney, spleen, and blood vessels. After the outbreak, visceral fat and green liver syndrome in the mullets were consistently observed throughout the year in the same mariculture facilities, indicating that the cultured mullets suffered a chronic metabolic disorder. Although Vibrio spp. were also isolated from some individuals, L. garvieae, which is known to be a causative agent of red lip mullet mortality, was isolated from all diseased individuals. This is the first report of L. garvieae infection in cultured red lip mullet.

By-products produced from medicinal plants (MP) were evaluated as feed additives on growth performance, blood chemistry, and immune responses of the juvenile red lip mullet Liza haematocheila. A commercial diet was used as the control. Four experimental diets were prepared by combining 0.5% of MPs such as Panax ginseng (PG), Schisandra chinensis (SC), Angelica gigas (AG), and Rehmannia glutinosa (RG), via water absorption, to the control diet. Triplicate groups of fish averaging 61.8 g were fed one of experimental diets to apparent satiation for 8 weeks. Dietary supplementation of MPs did not affect the growth performance, biological indices and whole body composition of fish compared to the control. The fish fed with AG diet had an increased weight gain, and specific growth rate compared to fish in SC group. Decreased level of plasma glucose was observed in fish fed diet containing MPs. Lysozyme activity was significantly increased in the fish fed AG diet compared to that of fish in PG group. These results indicate that dietary supplementation of Angelica gigas may enhance growth performance and immune responses in juvenile red lip mullet.

숭어과 어류는 연안에서부터 담수역까지 서식하고 있는 대표적인 광염성 어류이다. 이들의 형태적인 유사성 때문에 분류학적인 면에서나 명명법에 있어 많은 논란이 있다. 숭어과 어류 중 국내에서 주로 소비되고 있는 어종은 숭어(Mugil cephalus)와 가숭어(Chelon haematocheilus)로, 일반적으로 숭어와 가숭어를 구별하지 않고 숭어라 불리기도 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내의 학술적인 자료 및 옛 문헌을 조사하여 국내에서 혼용되고 있는 숭어류의 학명 및 어명에 대해 정리해보고자 하였다. 숭어의 학명은 M. cephalus로 사용되고 있지만, 가숭어는 Chelon, Mugil, Liza 속명이 혼용되고 있다. 숭어류의 어명에 대해 국내사전에는 숭어와 가숭어를 구별하지 않고 있으나, 일어, 영어, 중국어사전에서는 숭어와 가숭어가 명확히 구분되어 있었다. 옛 문헌에서는 숭어류를 '치어' 또는 '수어'라 이르고 있다. 대부분의 문헌에서는 숭어와 가숭어의 구분이 명확하게 나타나지 않았으나, 자산어보에서는 가숭어를 치어(참치어)로, 숭어를 가치어로 기록하고 있어 '가(假)'자의 붙임이 현재와 달리 사용되고 있었다. 가숭어는 양식되고 있는 종으로 앞으로 산업적인 활용이 모색되고 있는 단계에서, '가'자에 대한 부정적인 인식을 고려하였을 때 가숭어라는 어명 대신에 '참숭어'로의 어명 변경을 제안한다.
