Morphological structure and sporogenesis of myxosporean parasite, Parvicapsula anisocaudata from cultured olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus were examined by light and transmission electron microscopies. Numerous round early stages, spindle-shaped disporic or monosporic pseudoplasmodia, asymmetrical thin-walled mature spores were found inthe lumen of renal tubule and urinary bladder. Long pseudopodia or short projections from cytoplasm of pseudoplasmodia make the parasite attach firmly to host tissues. Spore development was mono- or disporous with no pansporoblast formation. Sporoplasmic cell was partially surrounded by two capsulogenic cells, and capsulogenic cells were enveloped by two flattened valvogenic cells. Capsulogenesis and valvogenesis followed general patterns seen in that of other myxosporean.

한국 남해안에서 채집한 쥐노래미를 대상으로 기생성 연충류를 조사한 결과 아가미에 기생하는 단생흡충류, Prosomicrocotyla gotoi, 1종과 장관에 기생하는 흡충류, Opecoelus sphaericus, 1종이 발견되었다. 이 두종은 모두 우리나라에서는 처음 기록되는 미기록종들이었다. P. gotoi는 후고착반(opisthaptor)이 두갈래로 나뉘어진 frill형태에 의해 특징지워지며, 유사종인 P.chirii와는 고환과 clamp의 수에 의해 구별되었다. O. sphaericus는 복흡반의 가장자리에 3쌍의 손가락 모양 돌기가 나 있었으며, 유사종인 O. nipponicus와는 고환의 위치에 의해서 구별되어졌다.

A nationwide survey was conducted to study the rate of Kudoa septempunctata parasitization in cultured olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, in Korea in 2013. Of 1107 olive flounder sampled randomly from 89 culture farms in five different regions in Korea, K. septempunctata was detected only in Jeju, where 10 of 318 fish (3.14%) were PCR positive, with genomic concentrations of $4.67{\times}10^5$ to $1.48{\times}10^{11}$ rDNA copies/g by real-time PCR. Of the ten Kudoapositive fish, K. septempunctata spores with 5-7 polar capsules were detected only in four fish. No samples of K. septempunctata were detected in olive flounder from the other regions surveyed. Furthermore, K. septempunctata was not detected in 326 samples of olive flounder seeds sampled from 39 hatcheries in seven different regions in Korea. Therefore, the parasite infection is restricted to Jeju and K. septempunctata infection is not spread from hatcheries.

Infestations of parasites, particularly those caused by copepods and monogeneans, are a major hindrance to aquaculture and have a big negative economic impact. Sebastes schlegelii, a farmed Korean rockfish, is particularly prone to copepods and monogeneans. This study comprehended how parasitic copepods and rockfish from a farm in Tongyeong-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, Korea, are related to the monogenean trematode Microcotyle sebastis. Our research revealed that monogeneans predominated, with a rate of 98.4% and an average infection intensity of 7 per infected fish. With an average infection intensity of 4 per sick fish, the infection rate for parasitic copepods was equally considerable, coming in at 91.7%. The high co-infection rate of both parasite families, at 90.8%, is noteworthy. Furthermore, Lepeophtheirus elegans and Peniculus truncatus, 2 parasitic copepod species, were discovered to have M. sebastis eggs attached to their bodies. This demonstrates a connection between parasitic copepod infestations in farmed Korean rockfish and the monogenean trematode M. sebastis. These discoveries highlight the necessity for creating more potent parasite control methods for the aquaculture sector and shed light on the intricate relationships between various parasite species.

기생성 요각류 2종, Clavellopsis hugu(Lernaeopodidae; Siphonostomatoida)와 Taeniacanthus yamagutii(Taeniacanthidae; Poecilostomatoida)이 한국산 양식 황복의 구강, 코, 표피 등에 기생하고 있음을 국내에서 처음으로 보고하며, 아울러 이종의 형태학적 특징을 상세히 기술하였다. Clavellopsis huge의 체형, 제2 촉각, 큰 턱 및 제2 소악 등은 다른 종과 쉽게 구별된다. 암컷의 두흉부는 동쪽으로 휘어져 있으며, 제2 촉각은 2분지, 큰 턱의 날은 톱니 모양, 제2 소악은 두흉부 기저에 완전히 융합될 bulla 형태이다. 수컷의 두흉부와 몸통은 완전히 융합된 난형이며, 두쌍의 악각은 집게형이다. Taeniacanthus yamagutii의 주요 특징은 제2소악이 견고하고, 악각의 갈고리 기저에 돌기가 있으며, 제2-4 바깥 다리의 가시 끝에 촉각이 1개씩 있다. 이들은 모두 한국 미기록종이며, 양식산 복어(Takifugu obscurus)는 새로운 숙주이다.

The egg structure and shape of the skin parasite, Entobdella hippoglossi from the Atlantic halibut, Hippoglossus hippoglossus was examined using scanning electronic microscope. The newly produced eggs of E. hippoglossi were yellowish in color and tetrahedral in shape. The eggs were entwined together in a complicated chain-like fashion by a long filament. The appendage showed the presence of buoy-like structures. The buoy-like structures on the appendage of the eggs of E. hippoglossi in the present study were totally different from other sticky droplets. It is suggested that these structures are not sticky droplets but buoys for floating eggs which have entwined together on the bottom of the sea. It seems that these buoy-like structures may be needed for preventing the eggs from being covered by mud or particles and thus maintaining the eggs in an oxygenated environment.

Freshwater farms are primarily located adjacent to rivers and lakes, facilitating the introduction and spread of pathogens into natural systems. Therefore, it is necessary to continuously monitor natural aquatic organisms, the breeding environment, and infection rates by pathogenic organisms. Fish and crustaceans were sampled 4 times in the Geum River estuary in 2016. The samples were analyzed for the presence of pathogens for reportable communicable diseases, including KHVD (koi herpesvirus disease), SVC (spring viraemia of carp), EUS (epizootic ulcerative syndrome) and WSD (white spot disease); parasite abundance was also examined. The dominant fish species were deep body bitterling Acanthorhodes macropterus (21.4%), followed by skygager Erythroculter erythropterus (12.7%). For crustaceans, Palaemon paucidens and Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis were dominant. Sixty fish and 36 crustacean species were examined for reportable communicable diseases. When using a specific primer set for each disease, PCR analysis did not detect any reportable communicable diseases in the samples. Some instances of Dactylogyrus, copepods, nematodes and metacercaria were detected. However, the PCR results indicated that the metacercaria were not Clonorchis sinensis.

본 연구를 통해 한국의 양식 가숭어에서 최초로 분리된 등각류는 Nerocila japonica와 가장 근연한 종으로 확인되었으나, 향후 형태학적 분류 등 명확한 종 동정이 추가로 필요할 것으로 판단되며, 약물의 직접 노출에 의한 구충 효과를 확인한 결과 trichlorfon이 가장 효과가 있는 것으로 확인되었다.

Ergasilus zacconis (Yamaguti, 1936), the copepod parasite originally named as Pseudergasilus zaconnis, is redescribed based on the specimens newly collected from the freshwater fish Zacco platypus (Temminck and Schlegel) from Japan. Some errors appearing in the original description are emended. An explanation for the generic position of this species is given.

A kind of leeches, Trachelobdella sp was detected on the inside surface of the opercle of wild crucian carp, Carassius cuvieri (21.5 cm in length and 238.5 g in weight) at a reservoir for agriculture in ChungNam Province of Korea in March, 2002. Two or three round transparent spots on the opercle could be easily detected. The fish also showed severe anemia and dorsally darking in the gill lamellae. The parasites was identified as Trachelobdella sp. on the basis of morphological characteristics such as suckers, body segmentation and lateral diverticula. As the parasites fed on host blood after attaching on the inside surface of the opercle by means of the posterior sucker, they caused severe anemia and petechial haemorrhge on the gill of infested fish. Heavy infestation of the parasite resulted in dath of fish because of large amount of blood loss.
