For survival of human beings clean water is an essential commodity whereas contamination in drinking water threatens to mankind. The main cause of water contamination is social and development activities of human being along with increasing population. The community in the study area has acute shortage of drinking water along with about 40 to 60% has no access to safe drinking water. This study indicates drinking water quality of two major sources of coastal belt of Karachi one is supplied by Karachi Water & Sewerage Board (KWSB) as tap water and the other through groundwater. The physicochemical analysis was carried out by following the standard methods for checking the quality of drinking water. The analyzed results showed that the quality of groundwater was unfit as potable water. The most critical situation was observed as high level of contamination followed by high turbidity and increased salinity levels. TDS in surface water were found 12% above and TDS in groundwater was 20% below the National Drinking Water Quality Standards (NDWQS) of Pakistan as well as the permissible WHO drinking water quality guidelines.

Vibrio species are Gram-negative basophils that are ubiquitous in seawater, increasing in number as the water temperature increases. Humans are usually infected by the consumption of contaminated seawater or seafood. V. alginolyticus infection in humans is mainly associated with infections of the skin and ears, such as acute otitis media and cellulitis. In this study, the distribution of V. alginolyticus along the coast of Jeju Island, and its relationship with water temperature, salinity, DO, and pH was investigated. The antibiotic susceptibility of the bacteria isolated was also tested. In seawater, the Daejeong area had the highest detection rate, with 13 cases (21.7%), and the Hallim area showed the lowest detection rate, with eight cases (13.3%) in. In shellfish, the Daejeong area had the highest rate, with seven cases (23.3%), and the Seongsan and Hallim areas had the lowest detection rate, with four cases (13.3%). The overall detection rate was the highest in Daejeong area, with 20 cases (22.2%), and the lowest in the Hallim area, with 12 cases (13.3%). The detection rate was highest when the water temperature was highest.

어린 숭어, Mugil cephalus에 대한 저염분 해수 및 담수 사육의 가능성을 알아보기 위하여, 전장 $4.8{\pm}0.6$ cm, 체중 $1.0{\pm}0.3$ g 및 전장 $13.6{\pm}0.2$ cm, 체중 $20.0{\pm}0.5$ g의 2군을 대상으로 염분농도별 성장과 생존율을 조사하고, 산소소비량 및 피부의 두께 등을 측정하여 생리활성을 서로 비교하였다. 1, 2차 실험 모두에서 $25\~75\%SW$의 저염 분구가 성장과 생존에 있어 $100\%SW$보다 좋은 편이었다. 그러나, 단계적 순치과정을 거치지 않고 $100\%SW$로부터 $0\%SW$로의 급격한 염분변화는 어체의 성장 및 생존율을 감소시키는 요인이 되었다. 일간사료섭식률은 $25\%SW$에서 $3.6{\pm}0.8\%$로 가장 높았다. 식욕에 있어서는 $50\%SW$에서 가장 높았다. 일간성장률은 $25\%\;SW$에서 가장 좋았고 ($2.7{\pm}0.9\%$), 다음으로 $50\%SW,\;100\%SW,\;0\%SW$이 순으로 나타났다. 염분에 따른 각 실험구별 어체의 표피와 진피의 두께에는 유의차가 없었으나, 지방층은 $0\%SW$의 실험어에서 $50\%SW$ 및 $100\%SW$의 숭어 보다 유의하게 두꺼웠다. 숭어의 산소소비량은 염분농도가 감소함에 따라 유의하게 낮아지는 경향을 나타냈다. 염분농도별 숭어의 저산소 내성은 $0\%SW$에서 비교적 약한 것으로 나타났다.
