Integumentary structure of the amberjack, Seriola dumerili, was examined by light and transmission electron microscopy. Integument of the amberjack consists of epidermal and dermal layers. The epidermal thickness is about $28.32{\mu}m$. The epidermal layer could be classified into superficial, intermediate, and basal layers by morphology and position of the supporting cells. Secretory cells of the epidermal layer were classified into mucous cells and club cells in the amberjack. Mucous cells contained acidic mucous and were alcian-blue positive with AB-PAS (pH 2.5) reaction. The club cells contained well-developed rough endoplasmic reticula and large central vacuole. Also, filament-rich cells were identified in the epidermal layer. The dermal layer consists mainly of collagenous fiber, and it contains fibrocytes and pigment cells. The cytoplasm of fibrocyte had a well-developed rough endoplasmic reticulum. The pigment cells contained electron-dense melanin granules.

The Japanese amberjack Seriolae quinqueradiata is one of the most consumed fish species among the Koreans. However, information regarding parasitic infection in Japanese amberjack is scarce. This study described the morphological and molecular characteristics of a species of philometrid nematode, Philometroides seriolae, which was recovered from Japanese amberjack. This fish was caught in the sea of Goseong-gun, Gangwon-do, Republic of Korea (Korea). Six P. seriolae (Nematoda: Philometridae) were recovered from 2 Japanese amberjacks. These parasites were subgravid female which were 325-420 mm long and 2.95-3.27 mm wide. Furthermore, they had typical papillae distributed on their body surface with 14 papillae at the apical view. Sequence analysis of the small subunits of ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) showed high sequence identity (99.8%, 1,607/1,611-bp) with that of P. seriolae (GenBank accession no. FJ155811). This nematode species has been newly added to the Korean nematode fauna.

We studied the cardio-respiratory properties in the Japanese amberjack (Seriola quinqueradiata) during acute hypoxia exposure. Fish were exposed to three levels of hypoxia (80, 60 or 50 mmHg) for 60 min at $25^{\circ}C$. Cardiovascular parameters (cardiac output; Q, heart rate; HR, stroke volume; SV, blood pressure; $P_{DA}$) changed little from pre-exposure values during both 80 and 60 mmHg of hypoxia. During 50 mmHg of hypoxia, the fish showed a bradycardia which significantly affected Q, whereas no change in SV. $P_{DA}$ increased transiently. Arterial oxygen partial pressure ($PaO_2$) immediately reduced along with a decrease of the water oxygen partial pressure ($P_WO_2$). Arterial $O_2$ content ($CaO_2$) decreased significantly only after 60 min of 50 mmHg of hypoxia. Arterial pH (pHa) and hematocrit value (Hct) did not change significantly. Comparing the effects of different levels of hypoxia, oxygen delivery to the tissues ($Q\;{\times}\;CaO_2$) should be maintained a constant over a broad range of $P_WO_2$, however, severely depressed below 50 mmHg of hypoxia.

제주도 연안 정치망의 여름철 주 어획대상인 잿방어를 실험어로 하여, 음향을 이용한 어군행동 제어, 음향순치 등 바다목장 조성을 위한 어군의 관리, 사육, 어획기술에 이용할 기초자료를 제공할 목적으로 육상수조에서 수중 가청 저주파음과 전기충격을 이용하여 음향 학습 시킨 후, 주파수와 음압을 변화시켜가면서 잿방어의 섬전도를 도출 하여 심박간격의 변화로부터 청각문턱치, 청각임계비를 측정하였다. 자연환경소음에서 잿방어의 청각문턱치는 측정 주파수 80∼800 HZ의 수중 가청음을 모두 인식하였고, 측정 주파수 200∼500 HZ 에서 청각 감도가 양호하였으며, 측정 주파수 300 Hz에서 평균 음압 94.5 dB, 표준편차 4.5 dB로 가장 낮은 청각문턱치를 보였다. 평균 음압을 65 dB, 70 dB, 75 dB의 3단계로 변화시킨 백색잡음 방성으로 측정한 잿방어의 청각임계비는 측정 주파수 80, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 800 HZ에서 각각 평균 음압 45.9, 52.8, 42.5, 36.4, 38.6, 39.4, 44.4 dB이었다. 측정 주파수 300 HZ, 400 HZ 그리고 500 HZ 에서는 백색잡음 중에서 측정음을 식별하는 능력이 다른 측정 주파수에 비하여 우수했다. 잿방어가 주파수 300 HZ의 수중 가청음을 충분히 인식하기 위해서는 최저 100 dB 이상의 음압 강도가 펼요하며 환경 소음이 존재하는 환경에서는 소음 스펙트럼 음압 레벨보다 약 35 dB 이상 크게 방성할 펼요가 있다.
