To investigate the effects on pigmentation and carotenoid metabolism of red sea breams Pagrus major and flounders Paralichithys olivaceus by the supplemented carotenoids, fishes wire fed the diet each containing ${\beta}$-carotene, lutein ester, astaxanthin, astaxanthin monoester, astaxanthin diester and ${\beta}$-apo-8'-carotenal for 8 weeks. Carotenoids in the integuments were analyzed. In cultured red sea breams with supplemented carotenoids, carotenoid deposition and pigmentation were higher in order of astaxanthin diester group, ${\beta}$-apo-8'-carotenal group and astaxanthin monoester group. The main carotenoids of red sea breams were astaxanthin diester, tunaxanthin and ${\beta}$-carotene. Difference in the content of astaxanthin diester and ${\beta}$-carotene was observed from natural and cultured red sea breams. In cultured flounders with supplemented carotenoids, carotenoid deposition and pigmentation were higher in order of ${\beta}$-carotene group and lutein ester group. The main carotenoids of flounders were zeaxanthin and lutein. Difference in lutein and ${\beta}$-carotene contents was observed from the natural and cultured flounders. Based on the contents and composition of carotenoids in each group after feeding experimental diet, carotenoid metabolism in red sea breams were presumed the reductive metabolic pathway, astaxanthin to tunaxanthin, and likewise, in flounders, lutein to tunaxanthin.

This paper focuses on the analysis of effects on fisheries sector following Korea-Japan Free Trade Agreement and the results are found as follows. In terms of national competitiveness, the RCA(Revealed comparative advantage) index shows that Korea is higher than Japan in most species items. And the calculation of TSI(Trade Specialization Index) finds that Korea is export specialized while Japan import specialized, showing that Korean fisheries sector is internationally more competitive than Japan. The tariffs on the marine products should be completely scrapped between Korea and Japan, export of marine products to Japan increases a mere 2%, while import from Japan 13.5%. In terms of value, annual export to Japan stands at 20,135thousand USD, while import from Japan at 12,137thousands USD, resulting in trade balance improvement of 8,000thousand USD in total. The tariff measures above is expected to have a positive effect on the related industry of marine products such as Oyster, Conger eel, Ark shells and Laver, but those involved in fisheries of Alaska pollack, Hair tail, Sea-bream(live fish), Red horsehead(frozen), Saury are expected to be negatively affected. Given the results of analysis above, the effects of FTA on the fisheries would be advantageous to Korea as a whole, but at the same time, the advantage and disadvantage sustained differs by fishery type and marine products. To that effect, negotiation strategies and countermeasures should be made, taking the results into account.

Astaxanthin is a valuable pigment source for many aquacultured species, including salmonoids, shrimp, sea bream, and ornamental species. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and ascidian tunic extracts were mixed with the basal diet of rainbow trout to investigate their pigmentation effects. Synthetic Carophyll Pink and natural carotenoids that came from the tunic extracts were incorporated into muscle and skin tissues. The main carotenoids found in muscle after 8 weeks were canthaxanthin in CP12 (13.4%), and CP52 (17.2%), and astaxanthin in CP12 (58.5%), and CP52 (59.2%) in the Carophyll Pink group, while those in skin were canthaxanthin in CP14 (34.5%), and CP54 (29.2%), and astaxanthin in CP14 (32.0%), and CP54 (36.5%) in the ascidian tunic extract group. The total carotenoid content in skin (53.0-69.3 mg/kg) was greater than that in muscle (9.5-13.8 mg/kg).

The proximate, fatty acid and total amino acid compositions of striped jewfish Stereolepis doederleini muscle were studied. The proximate composition was: 76.4% moisture, 19.4% protein, 2.92% lipid, and 1.19% ash. The predominant total lipid fatty acids were 16:0 (18.7%), 18:1n-9 (16.5%), 22:6n-3 (16.0%), 16:1n-7 (8.53%), 20:5n-3 (7.97%) and 18:0 (5.34%). Glutamic acid (17.4%), lysine (10.6%), aspartic acid (10.4%) and leucine (8.27%) were the predominant amino acids in striped jewfish muscle. These food components of striped jewfish were similar to those of costal and reef dwelling fishes such as black rockfish, black sea bream and rock trout, which are common sliced raw fish in Korea. Therefore, these results suggest that striped jewfish may represent a new aquaculture fish species.

Yeolgujatang is traditional casserole with meat, fish and vegetables in special pot. Name of Yeolgujatang was in 1800s, as yeolgujatang, yeolgujatangbang, yeolguja, in 1900s, Yeolgujatang, royal feast food in Yi Dynasty was yeolgujatang, Meon-sinseolro, tangsinseolro. Yeolgujatang frame has legs and a lid, and a cylinder that can contain charcoal at the center of its rounded pot. with this charcoal, food can be cooked. Its material has changed from brazier to brassware, stainless steel, and silver. Nowdays electric sinseolro was also launched, which uses electric power instead of charcoal. Materials in yeolgujatang are beef, intestines, pork, chicken, pheasant, fish, sea bream, abalone, shrimps, vegetables, mushroom, ddock, guksu, cooked rice, seasening and garnish. Nutrition of Yeolgujatang per capita contains 221.5kal of calory, 17.3g of protein, 16.5g of fat, 6.1g of carbobydrates, 2g of fiber, 57.6mg of calcium, 208mg of phosphorus, 4.3mg of ferrum, $2177{\mu}gRE$ of vitaminA, 1.58mg of vitamin $B_1$, 0.3mg vitamin $B_2$, 6.6mg of vitaminC and 5.26mgNE of niacin. Yeolgujatang is excellent in nutrition, except for calcium and vitaminC.

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) was originally isolated as a hypothalamic peptide that regulates reproduction by stimulating the release of gonadotropins. Using comparative animal models has led to the discovery that GnRH has a more ancient evolutionary origin. Durinq evolution GnRH peptide underwent gene duplication and structural changes to give rise to multiple molecular forms of GnRHs. Mammalian GnRH initially considered to be the sole molecular form, is now grouped as a family of peptides along with GnRH variants determined from representatives in all classes of vertebrates. Vertebrate species including primates and humanshave more than one GnRH variant in individual brains; a unique GnRH form in the forebrain and chicken IIGnRH in the midbrain. Furthermore, several species of bony fish have three molecular variants of GnRH: salmon GnRH sea-bream GnRH and chicken II GnRH. Also, it has been shown that in addition to the olfactory placodes and the midbrain, there is a third embryonic source of GnRH neurons from the basal diencephalon in birds and fish, which might be true for other vertebrates. Therefore, comparative animal models like fish with discrete sites of expression of three molecular variants of GnRH in individual brains, could provide insight into novel functions of GnRH variants, conservation of gene regulation, and mechanisms governing reproduction in vertebrates.

Feeding habits of Pagrus major collected in the coastal waters off Busan from January to December 2004 were studied. P. major ranged form 8.5 to 44.6 cm in standard length. P. major was a carnivore which consumed mainly hermit crabs, amphipods, crabs, shrimps, polychaetes, echinoderms, and fishes. Its diets included small quantities of gastropods, bivalves, stomatopods, cephalopods, cnidarians, and isopods. It showed ontogenetic changes in feeding habits. Small individuals (8~15 cm SL) preyed mainly on shrimps. However, individuals from 15 cm to 25 cm SL preyed mainly on hermit crabs and polychaetes. Individuals over 25 cm SL preyed mainly on fishes and echinoderms.

Distribution of the proteolytic activities of crude pretense extracted from the viscera of ten kinds of fish was examined. Their proteolytic activities on proteinous substrates (azocasein, hemoglobin, and casein) from the viscera of anchovy, bastard flatfish, mackerel and red sea bream were higher than those of other fishes, and the crude pretenses were further fractoinated with acetone or ammonium sulfate. Optimum concentrations for pretenses fractionation were $0\~55\%$ for acetone and $30\~70\%$ for ammonium sulfate. The fractionated viscera pretense of mackerel showed the highest proteolytic activity among four kinds of fishes. Activities of cathepsin D- and pepsin-like enzymes at pH 3.0, cathepsin L-, B-, H- and G-like enzyme at pH 6,0, and Hypsin- and chymotrypsin- like enzymes (pH 8.0) were detected in the fractionated viscera pretense, whereas activities of cathepsin L- and chymoeypsin-like enzyme were observed in commercial pretenses. Proteolytic activities of Alcalase, Protamex, and Aroase AP-10 for azocasein were slightly higher than the fractionated viscera pretenses, but their amidolytic activities at pH 6.0 and 8.0 toward synthetic substrates were lower than counterpart. The fractionated pretenses from fish viscera would be utilized as commercial pretenses.

Discarding juvenile fishes under girth 16 cm nearly equal to inner perimeter of codend mesh size collected by a cover net method in bottom trawl. The body size of the main five species (mackerel, horse mackerel, sea bream, melon seed and black throat seaperch) was measured for their body length, girth, weight, height and width and analyzed size selectivity. Frequency of penetrating fish as retention in a cover net was less than 40% of total number of juvenile discarding fish. The most of body length or girth of five species were significantly different between in the codend and in the cover net. The 50% selection girth in the cover net ranged 8-11 cm were smaller than those in the codend ranged 9-13 cm by the species respectively. The 50% selection body length was significantly related with the ratio of body height (H) by body width (W) both for in the codend or in the cover net while 50% selection girth was not significantly related with H/W. Furthermore 50% selection fish size by fish species between in the codend and in the cover net was not significantly different both in body length or girth. Therefore, the girth selectivity represented possibly as one unique value regarding fish body shape was considered as more useful method for multi-species catch in trawl.

The major cultured marine fishes in sea off the coast Gyeongsangnam-do Province, South Korea, were assessed and included 9.3% rockfish Sebastes schlegelii, 7.8% red seabream Pagrus major, and 2.1% rock bream Oplegnathus fasciatus. The number of insurance payments related to disease mortality in cultured fish in 2017 was fourfold that in 2016. Economic loss in aquaculture due to disease in cultured fish is high and represents an important inhibitory factor affecting marine fishery productivity. In 2018, diseases led to severe production losses in several aquaculture species: 40.0% in rockfish, 11.4% in olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus, 10.0% in filefish Thamnaconus modestus, and 9.3% in red seabream. Fish-parasitic pathogens such as Microcotyle sebastis, Alella spp., and Dactylogyrus spp. enter mainly via the gills and skin surface. Among bacterial pathogens, Vibrio species were most common, with Vibrio harveyi being the dominant species causing infections in these fishes. The bacterium Lactococcus garvieae is thought to exhibit host specificity in fish. The fish species in the present study exhibited a higher tendency for infection by heterologous pathogens than by a single pathogen; therefore, it is necessary to devise new strategies for treating diseases in cultured fish.
