Disease including parasite, bacteria and virus cause serious mortality to salmonid fish in the aquaculture. In this study, we investigated the current disease status of the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) in Yanayang, Pyeongchang, Jeongseon and Yeongwol of Gangwon province in 2021 and performed molecular characterization of those pathogen. For parasites, Ichthyophthirius multifiliis was observed at 2 farms. For bacteria, we identified Aeromonas sobria from kidney of rainbow trout using phylogenetic analysis of gyrB gene. A. salmonicida were isolated from necrosis site of gill cover and fin in coho salmon and necrotic lesion of fin in rainbow trout. Phylogenetic analysis using vap gene indicated that A. salmonicida isolated in this study were clustered with previously reported A. salmonicida subsp. salmonicida isolates. For virus, JRt-Nagano type of infectious haematopoietic necrosis virus was detected in rainbow trout, but infectious pancreatic necrosis virus and Oncorhynchus masou virus were not detected. These results provide useful information for the prevention of disease spread and transmission when cultivating new species such as Atlantic salmon in Korea.

We conducted a 90-day feeding experiment to evaluate the growth and energy budget of the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus. Sea cucumbers with a mean initial wet body weight of 3.03±0.06 g were fed one of the following three diets: an eel fecal solid diet, rainbow trout fecal solid diet, or a commercial diet at a water temperature of 17±1℃ and salinity of 32±1 psu. The results suggested that the diets affected the final body weight, specific growth rate (SGR), food ingestion, feces production ratio, and hence the growth and energy budget of the sea cucumbers. Sea cucumbers fed the eel and rainbow trout fecal solid diets showed poorer energy absorption, assimilation, and growth than those fed the commercial diet. The sea cucumbers fed the commercial diet had a significantly higher SGR and proportion of energy used for growth than those fed the other two diets. Sea cucumbers fed the rainbow trout fecal solid diet showed a comparatively higher ingestion rate and feces production ratio than those fed the commercial diet. The eel and rainbow trout fecal solid diets, therefore, were not suitable for sea cucumbers in intensive cultivation. Our findings will facilitate further development of more appropriate diets for culture of sea cucumber.

Effects of Al on vitellogenin (VTG) and VTG mRNA induction by estradiol-17 $\beta$($E_2$) were examined in primary hepatocyte culture of rainbow trout. Hepatocytes were precultured for 2 days and then E2 ($2{\times}10^{-6}$M) and Al ($10^{-6}-10^{-4}$M) were simultaneously added to the incubation medium. Hepatocytes were cultured for 5 more days. Media and hepatocytes were then analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Northern blotting for VTG and VTG mRNA, respectively. These metal had no appreciable effect on the viability of hepatocytes in culture. However, Al interfered with VTG production and VTG mRNA expression. Al reduced VTG production in a concentration-dependent way and a significant reduction accurred at Al concentrations greater than $5{\times}10^{-5}$M. VTG mRNA expression also decreased with a negative correlation with Al concentration (r＝-0.98). These results suggest that Al inhibit VTG production at the transcriptional level to reduce VTG mRNA expression.

Pollution caused by fecal solids released from recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) is a growing global concern requiring immediate attention. Thus, this study investigated the physicochemical characteristics of fecal solid feed from RASs used for eel and rainbow trout farming. The concentrations of proteins, lipids, crude ash, and moisture in eel fecal solids were 10.9%, 1.2%, 85.8%, and 72.2%, respectively, while those in rainbow trout fecal solid feed were 20.5%, 3.2%, 70.9%, and 87.0%, respectively. The control group was fed a mixture of sea cucumber and dried sea mud. The protein digestibilities of eel and rainbow trout fecal solids were 25.43% and 23.96%, respectively, while the respective lipid digestibilities were 35.62% and 36.80%, respectively.

This study investigated the sensory characteristics (texture, odor, taste and color) of jerky produced from ground sea rainbow trout (SRT) Oncorhynchus mykiss frame muscle (FM). The hardness of the ground SRT-FM jerky was 453.9±91.0 g/cm², which was lower than that of commercial animal jerky (893.5±404.6 g/cm²) and commercial fish jerky (1,394.4±363.5 g/cm²). The difference in the hardness values of the ground SRT-FM jerky and commercial animal jerky was not significant. The volatile basic nitrogen content of the ground SRT-FM jerky was 48.3±1.6 mg/100 g, which was higher than that of commercial fish jerky (21.6±6.2 mg/100 g) and commercial animal jerky (18.2±6.3 mg/100 g). However, the fish odor of the ground SRT-FM jerky was masked by the presence of various additives. The hydrophilic and lipophilic browning indices of the ground SRT-FM jerky were higher than those of the commercial jerky. The total taste value of the ground SRT-FM jerky was 169.0, and the major amino acids were glutamic acid and aspartic acid. These results suggest that ground SRT-FM jerky would be acceptable to consumers.

Large quantities of by-products—such as fish frame, head, skin and viscera—are generated during seafood processing, and these by-products are not utilized extensively. Therefore, sea rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss (SRT) frame muscle (FM) jerky was prepared by grinding SRT-FM, followed by mixing with seasoning, forming and drying. The nutritional and microbiological characteristics of the SRT-FM jerky were then investigated. The proximate composition of the SRT-FM jerky was 19.1% moisture, 38.7% crude protein, 7.9% crude lipid and 4.4% ash. The viable bacterium count of the SRT-FM jerky was 3.9 log CFU/g, and Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were not detected. The total amino acid content of SRT-FM jerky was 37.3 g/100 g, and the major amino acids were aspartic acid, glutamic acid, leucine and lysine. Based on the recommended daily intake of fish jerky (100 g), the most abundant mineral was potassium. The fatty acid composition of the SRT-FM jerky was 26.2% saturated acid, 34.5% monoenoic acid and 39.3% polyenoic acid, and the major fatty acids were 16:0, 18:1n-9, 18:2n-6, 20:5n-3 and 22:6n-3. These results suggest that SRT-FM jerky has high nutritional value.

This study compared the meat quality of sea rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss frame muscle (S-FR-TY) and fillet (S-FI-TY) with the frame muscle of freshwater rainbow trout (F-FR). There was a difference of < 1% in the proximate composition of S-FR-TY vs. S-FI-TY, and of S-FR-TY vs. F-FR. The Hunter a value of F-FR-TY was lower compared with that of F-FR cultured in Jecheon (F-FR-JC), but higher than that of F-FR cultured in Pyeongtaek (F-FR-PT). However, no difference in the Hunter a value of S-FR-TY compared with any other F-FR was observed. The odor intensity of S-FR-TY was lower compared with that of F-FR, while the taste of S-FR-TY was milder than that of S-FI-TY, but stronger than that of F-FR. Although its total amino acid content was lower, the essential amino acid content of S-FR-TY was higher compared with S-FI-TY; the potassium content of S-FR-TY was also significantly greater. S-FR-TY contained high levels of nutritional and functional components, such as anserine, lysine, threonine, and eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acid. These results suggest that S-FR-TY could be used as a resource of canned food or fish jerky for children.

A 12-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of different stocking densities on the growth, body composition, stress, antioxidant status, and immune responses of juvenile rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. Juvenile rainbow trout (32.2±0.5 g) were randomly placed in eight experimental tanks, each containing 2,000 L of water, at stocking densities of 150, 300, 600, and 1,200 individual/m³. The trout were assigned to four treatments (2.4, 4.8, 9.7, and 19.4 kg/m³) in duplicates. Following after the feeding trial, the fish cultured in the less dense group showed significantly higher growth and survival (P<0.05). In terms of proximate composition, the whole body crude protein and lipid contents were lower in the denser group (19.4 kg/m³). Regarding the antioxidant and immune responses, the fish reared in the relatively denser group exhibited lower lysozyme, immunoglobulin M, and superoxide dismutase levels. The stress indicators, glucose and cortisol, were significantly lower in the less dense group (2.4 kg/m³), while the denser group (19.4 km/m³) exhibited higher AST and ALP levels(P<0.05). The results showed that denser stocking has a crowding stress effect and negatively impacts growth and immune responses.

Infectious haematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) is an important fish pathogen that infects both wild and cultured salmonids. Since the first isolation of IHNV from rainbow trout and masu salmon in 1991, a series of IHN disease outbreak has been reported in Korea. In 2011, we isolated two IHNV isolates from rainbow trout cultured in Korea. The full open-reading frame (ORF) encoding the glycoprotein (G) of them were sequenced and the amino acid sequences were phylogenetically analyzed. Phylogenetic analysis of the G revealed that both IHNV isolates were grouped into an Asian genogroup containing Korean IHNV isolates and Japanese IHNV isolates. However, based on their sequence variation, they were divided into different subgroup. While one isolate was similar to other Korean isolates, the other isolate showed a high level of similarity with Japanese isolates, suggesting the possibility of influx of new IHNV strain into Korea.

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).
