섬모충류에 속하는 Colpoda-like ciliate가 양식산 방어의 아가미에 기생하고 있음을 국내에서 처음으로 기록하였다. 이 섬모충은 3가지의 형태(구형의 영양형, 난형의 피낭형, 방추형의 딸세포형)를 갖추고 있었으며 번식은 피낭내에서 4개의 딸세포형으로 이루어지는 것으로 조사되었다. 그리고 수직유영을 하는 병어의 아가미로부터 수많은 섬모충을 검출할 수 있었으며 이들 어류의 아가미 조직은 심각한 손상을 나타내었다. 그러나 체표를 비롯한 다른 조직에서는 이 섬모충에 의한 병변을 전혀 관찰할 수 없었다.

An algicidal effect of endemic algicidal bacterium (Pseudomonas putida) and rotifer zooplankton (Brachionus calyciflorus) on diatom Stephanodiscus hantzschii were examined in the filtered water, and were compared with those of bacterium plus ciliate. Bacteria removed as 80% of the diatom within 3.5 days, while ciliate and zooplankton suppressed 57% and 40% of diatom during the same period, respectively. Mixed treatment of bacteria plus ciliate removed as 54% of diatoms, while that of bacteria plus zooplankton decreased as 85%. Although single bacteria and mixed treatment of bacteria plus zooplankton quickly decreased the diatom in the initial of experiment, bacteria plus ciliate perfectly removed the diatom in culture flask within 5.5 days of the study. On the other hand, other single and mixed treatments did not clear the diatom during the same period, and over 10% of them still remain in culture flask. Predator biomass in the presence of algicidal bacteria showed the growth patterns; zooplankton gradually decreased, and ciliate sustained over 0.5 cells/ml. These results indicated that the addition of ciliate to the algicidal bacterium in controlling the diatom Stephanodiscus hantzschii is more effective than that of zooplankton. Therefore, this synergistic interaction relationship between the bacterium and ciliate play an important role in the bio-manipulation using bio-agents to control the diatomal bloom in freshwater lakes and streams.

Ciliate abundance and biomass were determined at three anchored stations in the Han River estuary trimonthly from May 2006 to February 2008. The total abundance of ciliates ranged from 0-13,853 cells $l^{-1}$ and biomass ranged from $0.00-73.98\;ugC\;l^{-1}$. Owing to the large seasonal temperature variation (range 0.20-$27.2^{\circ}C$), ciliate abundance displayed marked seasonal variation, being higher in summer than in other seasons. Tintinnids dominated the ciliate communities at station YC where suspended sediment was highest. Difference of ciliate biomass between ebb tide and flood tide were irregular. Seasonal variations of ciliate carbon biomass at each station were related to temperature, suspended sediment and chl.a, especially nano chl.a. Geographical variations of ciliate carbon biomass in each season were related to suspended sediment and salinity.

Ciliate plankton samples were collected biweekly from July 2006 to June 2008 in Jangmok Bay of Geoje Island. Species composition and abundances were analyzed by quantitative protargol stain and environmental parameters were also examined. A total of 88 ciliate species occurred during the study period, consisting of 22 tintinnids, 51 oligotrichs, and 15 other species. Higher ciliate abundances appeared from June to October during the warm season ($<20^{\circ}C$) and the maximum ($4.0{\times}10^4\;cells\;L^1$) in August, while the lower abundances were found during the cold season. The minimun ciliate abundance was found in November when water temperature rapidly decreased. The temporal succession of dominant species was very clear and opportunistic. Pelagostrombidium sp., Tontonia simplicidens, Helicostomella subulata, and Myrionecta rubra were co-dominant in summer while Rimostrombidium orientale occurred abundantly in winter. Strombidium tressum and S. compressum, eurythermal species, were observed during all seasons. Based on the species-specific ecology of ciliate plankton, it is suggested that the indicative ciliate species can be applied as a biological tool to detect environmental change in the southern coastal waters of korea.

Fabrea salina living at salt pond is an interesting ciliate in the research of photobiology and live food for aquaculture. This study was carried out to understand the natural habitat of F. salina at salt pond, which would be a basic biological knowledge for the indoor mass culture of this ciliate. In this research, the water quality as temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and chlorophyll-a was examined with the population density of the ciliate at salt pond. The highest population density of F. salina occurred at 109 ppt and $31^{\circ}C$with 2,390 inds./L in August, and the distribution of the ciliate was positively correlated with salinity, temperature, and chlorophyll­a. Even though F. salina is a very euryharine ciliate, it did not occur at the salinity below 47 ppt in this study. Its reason is able to be explained with the occurrence of many predators as small fish and food competitors as zooplankton living at low salinity of salt pont. While F. salina occurred with Anemia at the same habitat using the same food source, the optimum salinity for the ciliate was a little higher than that of Anemia, and the optimum temperature for the former was a little lower than that of the later. This should be a reason for that these two species have different ecological nich at the same habitat using the same food source.

We identified 22 ciliate species, including five unrecorded ciliate species, from temporary ponds on a grass lawn. The five unrecorded species are as follows: class Nassophorea - Pseudomicrothorax agilis Mermod, 1914, Nassula exigua Kahl, 1931, class Colpodea - Cyrtolophosis mucicola Stokes, 1885, Maryna ovata (Gelei, 1950) Foissner, 1993, and class Spirotrichea - Meseres corlissi Petz & Foissner, 1992. Most of these 22 ciliate species disappeared from a raw culture within a few days (probably encystment), and a few cells were available from some species that resulted in incomplete identifications (e.g., genus-level). About the unrecorded five ciliate species, they are small in size (<60 ㎛ in vivo), and two of them live in a hyaline dwelling-tube, which is easily deserted by a cell with a stress. Their taxonomic classification is summarized as three classes, five orders, five families, and five genera. Here, we provide brief descriptions, micrographs of their morphology, and some remarks.

원생동물 섬모충의 한 종인 Euplotes는 해산어 종묘생산시설의 로티퍼 대량배양수조에서 혼재생물로서 매우 자주 관찰된다. 그들은 로티퍼에게 먹이로 첨가되는 농축 상태의 먹이(미세조류)를 중간에서 가로채어 빠른 속도로 증식하면서 로티퍼의 증식을 방해한다. 더불어 이때 형성된 배양수조내의 세균상은 로티퍼의 전멸을 초래하기도 한다.

2003년 북제주 지역의 육상양식장에서 양식중인 넙치에서 새로운 타입의 스쿠티카섬모충을 분리하였다. 이 충은 환경에 따라 ciliate와 cyst로 변태하며 장기간 생존하였는데, ciliate stage의 크기는 영양상태가 양호한 시기 기준 평균 길이 41.8, 폭 21.0 ${\mu}m$ 이었으며, cyst stage는 평균 길이 17.0 ${\mu}m$, 폭 13.5 ${\mu}m$ 이었다. 변태하는 주 원인은 먹이 양이었다. 먹이가 부족하면 cyst로 변태하여 장기간 생존이 가능하며, 먹이가 풍부해지면 ciliate로 재변태하여 활발히 증식하였다. In vitro 배양시험 결과 MS BHI 배지에서 비브리오균 (V. lentus)을 먹이로 하여 15$^{\circ}C$에서 최고 2.9${\times}$105 ${m\ell}^{-1}$의 고밀도로 배양되었다. 환경에 대한 적응시험 결과 ciliate는 염분농도 1-55 ppt, 온도 2.5-30$^{\circ}C$, pH 6-9 범위에서 증식이 가능하였다. 특히 0$^{\circ}C$에서도 7일 이상 장시간 생존이 가능하여 환경에 대한 적응력이 매우 뛰어났다. cyst는 먹이가 없는 상태에서 장시간 생존이 가능하였는데, 5$^{\circ}C$에서는 320일 동안 생존하였으며 온도가 높아질수록 생존기간은 짧아졌다. 화합물을 이용한 in vitro 구제시험에서는 포르말린과 과산화수소 모두 200 ppm/1시간 약욕으로 구제효과가 있었으나 화합물의 약욕농도와 시간에 따라 효과가 달랐다.

The mixotrophic marine ciliate Mesodinium rubrum possesses a highly modified algal endosymbiont as a nutrition source for the species. Accordingly, we assumed that the species can reflect the ecotoxicity on marine producer (as phytoplankton) and consumer (as zooplankton) both. A series of experiments were conducted to identify the potential of the species as a standard test species for marine ecotoxicological study. The comparison of species sensitivity on reference toxic materials was made using potassium dichromate for phytoplankton and copper chloride for zooplankton. The ciliate revealed the highest sensitivity on both reference materials among the seven test species including phytoplankton, benthic copepod and rotifer species. The toxicity end point of the species was 72hr-$EC_{50}$=1.52 mg/L (as potassium dichromate) estimated by population growth inhibition (PGI), which is more sensitive than the most sensitive phytoplankton Skeletonema costatum (72hr-$EC_{50}$=3.05 mg/L). As comparison to rotifer, it also revealed higher sensitivity on copper chloride; 72hr-$EC_{50}$=0.38 mg/L for ciliate and 48hr-$EC_{50}$=0.48 mg/L for rotifer. Also, the elutriate toxicity test of various ocean disposal wastes were conducted to identify the potential of ciliate toxicity test application using industrial waste sludges. The toxicity of leather processing waste sludge was highest on the ciliate, followed by dyeing waste sludge and dye production waste sludge as an increasing order of toxicity. 72h-$EC_{50}$ of ciliate PGI test was 1.83% and that of S. costatum 3.84% for leather waste sludge which showed highest toxicity. The toxicity test results also revealed that the highest sensitivity was observed on ciliate species on ocean disposed sludge wastes. Also, ciliate toxicity test well discriminated the degree of toxicity between sludge sources; 72h-$EC_{50}$ values were 1.83% for leather processing waste sludge, 16.75% for dye production waste sludge and 27.75% for textile production waste sludge. Even the laboratory culture methods of the species were not generally established yet, the species has high potential as the standard test species for marine toxicity test in terms of the dual reflection of phyto- and zooplankton toxicity from single test, sensitivity and test replicability.

Fabrea salina는 광염성의 크기가 작고 부유성인 섬모충으로 번식률이 높아 rotifer를 대치할 수 있는 새로운 동물먹이생물로 기대되어 왔다. 그러나 본 섬모충의 먹이효율에 대한 보고는 rotifer와 비슷하였다는 긍적적인 결과와 어류자어가 섭취하지 않았다는 부정적인 보고가 있다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 상반된 결과를 확인하기 위하여 경기만 염전에서 자연산 F. salina를 채집하여 6 종의 식물먹이생물과 쌀, 보리, 밀 등의 곡식을 이용하여 대량배 양한 후 은어자어에 공급하였다. F. salina의 성장은 식물먹이생물 중에서는 Heterosigma sp.,곡류 중에서는 쌀에서 가장 높은 성장을 보였다. F. salins의 최적 배양 수온은 $33^{\circ}C$이며 $35\~95ppt$ 염분에서의 성장은 차이를 보이지 않았다. Heterosigma sp를 공급할 경우의 적정 먹이농도는 $5\times10^6$cells/mL였고 쌀의 경우는 2.8g/L였다. F. salina를 Heterosigma sp.와 쌀로 각각 배양하여 부화 후 6일이 된 은어 자어에 공급한 결과 사육 3일만에 $96\%$ 이상의 사망률을 보였고 유지효모로 배양한 rotifer, Brachionus plicatilis를 공급한 대조구에 비하여 유의적으로 낮은 생존율을 보였다. 본 연구의 결과 F. salina는 대량배양은 용이하였으나 어류 자어의 먹이생물로 활용하기에는 부적합한 것으로 판단되었다.
