We studied the characteristics of age and growth of the Goldeyes rockfish Sebasetes thompsoni in the Ulleungdo and Dokdo areas by using 730 otoliths from February 2013 to February 2014. The lowest value of the marginal index was found in June once a year. The spawning period was estimated as April. Therefore, the duration from fertilization to the complete formation of the first annual growth ring is fourteen months. From the parameters calculated using the weighted average length of the year ring formation, the growth of S. thompsoni was demonstrated by the von Bertalanffy growth equation as $L_t=34.68(1-e^{-0.2113(t+0.7683)})$ for females and $L_t=29.79(1-e^{-0.2163(t+1.7964)})$ for males, $L_t=32.84(1-e^{-0.25(t+0.57)})$ for combined sex. Comparing with growth performance index(${\Phi}$) from these 4 offshore areas, parameter of S. thompsoni in Ulleungdo area was 2.4087, that of in Tong-yeong was 2.2835, that of in Aomori was 2.4077 and in Niigata was 2.3927. As a result, the value of Dokdo and Ulleungdo areas showed the highest.

Airlift pumps were tested to evaluate their pumping and aeration capacities. The pumps were 34.5 inch long made of 2, 3, 4 and 6 inch nominal diameter PVC pipes. An one hp air blower was used to supply the air. The air-flow rate was measured by an anemometer type air-flow meter and air pressure was level changes in a water tank from which water was pumped. Aeration by the pumps was tested by the standard aeration test method with the center of pump outlet positioned 3 inches above water surface. Oxygen concentrations in water were measured to determine aeration rate. As pumping head increased by water level draw-down in the tank water flow decreased while air flow increased. The reduction rate of water flow was higher with 4 and 6-inch pumps. Small pumps showed very minor changes in the reduction. Aeration rates were similar among 3, 4, and 6 inch pumps. With one hp air blower 6-inch pump at the minimum pumping head achieved the best performance in terms of water circulation.

The gene encoding Plasmodium vivax circumsporozoite protein (PvCSP) exhibits polymorphism in many geographical isolates. The present study was designed to investigate polymorphism in PvCSP gene of P. vivax isolates in Korea. Thirty isolates, obtained from indigenous cases in Yonchon-gun, Kyonggi-do in 1997, were subjected for sequencing and RFLP analysis of the repeat and post-repeat regions of PvCSP gene and two genotypes (SK-A and SK-B) were identified. The genotype of 19 isolates was SK-A and that of 11 isolates was SK-B. Although the number of 12-base repeats present in SK-A was three while two were found in a Chinese strain CH-5, the repeat sequence of SK-A was identical to that of CH-5 except for one base substitution. Compared with known data there was no identical isolates with SK-B, but the sequence of SK-B was similar to that of a North Korean (NK) isolate. These results indicate that two genotypes of PvCSP coexist in the present epidemic area of Korea and the present parasite may originate from East Asia. RFLP would be useful to classify genotypes of P. vivax population instead of gene sequencing.

The observation of the tidal current and the bottom contour around the set net fishing ground were carried out at four different regions of the southern part of Korea in order to obtain the basic information on the migrating course of fishes. The bottom contour was surveyed with portable echo sounder, and the tidal current was observed by two different methods at the same time. One was 25 hour observation at the fixed position with self-recording current meter (Inter Ocean Model 135 type) and the other was the drift observation of radar reflectors. Most of the set nets have been set near bottom valleys. It was regarded that the fish school became to dense easily near the valley according to the combined effect of the tidal current and the bottom contour.

Geochemical characteristics of groundwater, based on chemical analyses of 54 water samples, differ among main rocks of Haman formation, Panyawoel formation, andesite and granite in Daegu area in relation to mineralogical and chemical compositions of the rocks. Concentrations of most solutes are higher in groundwaters of Haman and Panyawoel formations than in those of andesite and granite. High concentrations of $Ca^{2+}$ and $Mg^{2+}$ in groundwaters of the sedimentary rocks result mainly from reaction of $CO_2$-charged water with calcite and weathered feldspars. Average groundwaters in the sedimentary rocks are oversaturated with respect to calcite. Major types of groundwaters are hard $Ca(HCO_3)_2$ and $CaSO_2-CaCl_2$ with hardness of 442 mg/l for Haman formation and 275 mg/l for Panyawoel formation whereas they are soft $Ca(HCO_3)_2$ with hardness 35 mg/I for andesite and 39 mg/I for granite. $Ca(HCO_3)_2$ type results mainly from calcite-dissolution and $CaSO_4-CaCl_2$ from pyrite and partly from domestic pollutants. $CaSO_4-CaCl_2$ type may indicate that groundwaters in the sedimentary rocks are more evolved geochemically than those in the igneous rocks, but it is not obvious because the type might be affected by pyrie dissolution and domestic pollutions. Acid rain is buffered by active calcite in the sedimentary rocks. In the igneous rocks acid rain might react with gibbsite and other forms of $Al(OH)_3$ that might have accumulated as weathering products of primary silicates, and is buffered.

In present paper, we investigated the quality stability of frozen seasoned anchovy meat products during storage at $-25\;{\pm}\;2^{\circ}C$. The pH and VBN contents of the products revealed a tendency to increase slightly during frozen storage 150 days. Viable cell counts and histamine contents of products are $0.8-2.6\;{\times}\;10^5/g,\;70.6-76.7 mg/100g$, respectively. In changes of fatty acid composition, percentage of polyenes such as eicosapentaenoic docosahexaenoic acid slightly decreased, while that of saturates and monoenes increased during frozen storage, The results of changes in POV, TBA values, color values, drips and salt extractable nitrogen contents during frozen storage showed that lipid oxidation and freeze denaturation of products could be retarded, and flavor could be enhanced by adding 0.2% sodium erythorbate and 12.8% emulsion curd.

Probably herbivorous fishes were visibility main body as aquatic substantial production in offshore and adjacent sea. It is a major problem to estimation of energy conversion rate by hervivores from primary production when to be measurement for potential productivity of herbivores as above meaning according to deductive method. This was deal with review of I index, with mean transfer efficiency from food in seawater to food in gut be eaten by a particular species. Yet $K_i$ was not settled with an established theory. In this review coefficients of food selection or electivity indices suggested by two Russian biologists, Ivlev and Sorygin, (r-p) /(r+p) and (r/p) were understand unsuitable to use with the transfer efficiency $K_i$. But CCOS that is one of community resemblance chord is suggested to be possible with someone a treatment, as (CCOS)$\times$(Filtering rate).

On heating and fleering food-stuffs, it is very important to obtain informations about thermophysical properties of fishes for designing of freezing and heating equipment and analyzing of physico-chemical reaction during storage. It is particularly necessary to measure denaturation enthalpy, temperature, latent heat of freezing, activation energy, enthalpy, entropy and free energy on freezing and heating rate. In this study, DSC was used to study effects of freezing and heating rate on thermophysical properties and denaturation temperature on scanning rate $2.5-10.0^{\circ}C/min$. On increasing scanning rate, denaturation temperature of protein and lipid incresed and freezing point, activation energy, enthalpy, entropy were decreased. In freezing process free energy of fishes were found to be $14.2-18.9 kcal/mol$.

This study was carried out to compare the difference of proximate composition and total lipid components by size and various tissues in sweetfish(Plecoglossus altivelis). Lipid contents of the small and large sweetfish in viscera were $43.2\%\;and\;52.8\%$, respectively. Total lipid contents of the small and large sweetfish were consisted of $3.84{\sim}46.90g/100g$ neutral lipid, $0.86{\sim}4.38g/100g$ phospholipid, respectively. In fatty acid compositions of total lipid, sweetfish showed higher content in saturates such as 16:0, 18:0($43.78{\sim}48.29\%$), and lower content in polyenes such as 18:2n-6, 22:6n-3($13.13{\sim}17.10\%$), and the large sweetfish was somewhat higher in ratio of polyenes compared with the small one. The major fatty acids were 16:0, 18:1n-9, 16:1n-7, 18:2n-6, 22:6n-3, 18:0 and 14:0, in order.
