1984년 4월에 강원도 일원의 경포호, 송지호, 영랑호 등의 기수역에서 채집된 윤형동물을 동정한 결과 Notholca liepetterseni, Keratella cruciformis eichwaldi, Dipleuchlanis propatula propatula의 2과 1종, 2아종이 확인되어 이들을 모두 재기재하였고 아울러 도판을 작성하였다. 이중 Notholca liepetterseni는 한국 미기록종이다.

The rotifers collected from a brackish water zone as well as various terrestrial habitats such as mosses, ichens, and leaf litter at seven different locations in Korea were investigated. Eight species/subspecies belonging to five genera in five families of monogonont and bdelloid rotifers new to Korea were identified: Encentrum incisum, Encentrum uncinatum, Cephalodella innesi, Adineta gracilis, Macrotrachella timida timida, Macrotrachella timida inquies, Habrotrocha pavida and Habrotrocha scabropyga. Five bdelloids are new to Asia as well. Notably, these eight Korean new records included three rare species. H. scabropyga is recorded outside its type locality for the first time. For M. timida timida, this study is the third record after its description. In addition, E. incisum has been reported only from Austria, Germany and Russia before the present study.

Pre-monsoon dynamics of zooplankton community were investigated in the downstream of the Gagok stream flowing into the East Sea of Korea. Monthly sampling was carried out to collect zooplankters at five sites in the stream during the period between April and July 2014. Dissolved oxygen contents exceeded $7.0mg\;L^{-1}$ all the time. Water temperature was in a range of 15.7 to $24.9^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.4 to 8.8, respectively. A total of 75 taxa consisted of 36 species of rotifers, 16 species of cladocerans, 16 species of copepods, four kinds of aquatic insects, two kinds of decapods and one nematod was occurred. One species of marine copepod and one cladoceran, and one species of brackish rotifer and one copepod distributed at the station located in the stream mouth. Zooplankton abundance showed to vary from 42 to 4202 individuals $m^{-3}$ due to the explosion of aquatic insects and Alona sp. at site 2 located in the downstream in April. Heavy rainfall during the monsoon period seems to decrease the zooplankton abundance caused by diffusion and drifting to the sea. Species diversity indices were generally high between 1.2~2.3 and were recorded to be high at the downstream throughout the study period. With the zooplankton dynamics, the influence of the input of sea waters into the stream seemed to be confined to some hundred meters of the stream mouth facing the East Sea.

2015년 10월부터 2016년 7월까지 가을, 겨울, 봄, 여름의 계절별로 한강 하구의 시암, 성동, 공릉천, 산남, 장항습지 등 5개 습지에서 동물플랑크톤 채집을 실시하였다. 25종의 윤충류를 포함하는 총 46종류의 동물플랑크톤이 출현하였다. 기수종은 요각류 2종만이 출현하였고 10월에 성동과 장항습지에 출현한 15종류가 가장 다양하게 출현한 것이었다. 최대 출현량은 3월에 시암습지에서 윤충류의 대량 출현에 의해 $8,000indiv.\;L^{-1}$로 기록되었다. 3월에는 다른 정점에서도 $5,000indiv.\;L^{-1}$ 이상의 높은 출현량이 나타났지만 나머지 기간 중에서 수백 개체의 낮은 밀도가 지속되었다. 종다양성지수는 0.4~1.8 사이에서 변동하였다. 요각류 유생의 장내용물질 분석 결과 미동정물질들과 함께 규조류가 주먹이원인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 수온은 $10.1{\sim}28.2^{\circ}C$, pH는 7.1~8.6 용존산소량은 $4.5{\sim}11.0mg\;L^{-1}$ 사이에서 변동하여 정점에 따라 하계 수온상승에 의한 용존산소량 부족 가능성이 제기되었다.

We explored the possibilities of using the freshwater rotifer Brachionus angularis as a live food for small fishes cultured in fresh- or brackish waters. Brachionus angularis were collected from a reservoir for isolation and laboratory culture. Length and width of the lorica were $102.3{\mu}m$ and $76.6{\mu}m$, respectively, and those of amictic eggs were $64.4{\mu}m\;and\;47.9{\mu}m$, respectively. When their growth rates were examined at six different temperatures, i.e., 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and $40^{\circ}C$, the highest daily growth rate of 0.801 was observed at $35^{\circ}C$, and growth was lower with decreasing temperature. Adaptation to salinity change was evaluated with two different modes of salinity increase: step-wise elevation lasting for short durations of 5 to 30 min or a long duration of 24 h. With the short duration modes, no individuals survived salinity higher than 10 psu, and the number of live individuals did not increase throughout the experiment. However, in the 24-h elevation, the number of individuals increased when salinity was elevated by 1 to 2 psu per day for the first 2 or 3 days, while no increase in number occurred at salinity increments higher than 3 psu per day. In addition, to assess the effect of different diets, four single-component diets (Chlorella vulgaris, Nannochloris sp., baker's yeast, or dry yeast) and three combination diets (C. vulgaris + Nannochloris sp. + baker's yeast + dry yeast; C. vulgaris 70% + baker's yeast 30%; C. vulgaris 30% + baker's yeast 70%) were used. The specific growth rates of B. angularis fed combination diets were higher than those of rotifers fed any single-component diet, with the highest rate of 0.648 in B. angularis fed a mixture of C. vulgaris, Nannochloris sp., baker's yeast, and dry yeast, and the lowest rate of 0.200 in those fed dry yeast only. Our results indicate that the freshwater rotifer B. angularis can be used for seedling production of both freshwater and brackish-water fishes that require small (less than about $120{\mu}m$) live food during their early stages.
