This study was to provide basic data for aquatic ecosystem research using fishes. Field sampling was carried out at five selected sites of Gap Stream, and fish samples, especially for a selection of sentinel species were collected three times in June, September, and October 2007. We analyzed total length distribution of Zacco platypus in relation with the season and the sampling sites, and then compared with total body weight, condition factor (K), and age distribution of the fish. The fish population data were compared with physico-chemical water quality, obtained from the Ministry of Environment, Korea. Water quality analysis showed a significant nutrient enrichment, based on total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP), and organic matter pollution, based on biological oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) in the Site 5, which is directly influenced by wastewater disposal plant (WDP). Population analysis of the sentinel species showed that the total number of individuals, age distribution, and the population size-structure were influenced by the effluents from the WDP, and that reproductive failure of young-age population were evident in Site 5. According to the relation analysis of total weight to K, the disturbed population was mainly attributed to combined effects of habitat modifications and chemical degradations. Regression analysis of K values against water quality parameters showed significant (p<0.05) positive relations with nutrient and organic matter contents. Our data suggest that the population structure using a sentinel fish species reflected the ambient water quality in the stream and that diagnosis of aquatic ecosystem health using Z. platypus population may be practical for water resource and ecosystem conservations.

Qualities properties of fish sauce made jack mackerel (Trachurns japonicus) at different salt concentrations (25~35%) for 240 days at fermentation temperature ($25{\sim}55^{\circ}C$) were investigated. Total nitrogen content of the fish sauce made jack mackerel at 25% salt concentration after 240 day of fermentation was higher than those of 30%, 35% salt concentration. Total nitrogen content was increased under the same condition as fermentation temperature increased except at $55^{\circ}C$. Amino nitrogen contents at 25% salt concentration after 240 day of fermentation at 35, 45, $55^{\circ}C$ were 949.3, 812.8 and 834.4 mg/100 g, respectively. Those at 25, $55^{\circ}C$ fermentation temperature were 811.2 and 614.8 mg/100 g, respectively. The amino acid nitrogen content at 30 and 35% salt concentration ware lower than 20% salt concentration and that after 240 day of fermentation at $55^{\circ}C$ was lowest. The volatile basic nitrogen content increased during fermentation as fermentation temperature increased. However, increasing salt concentration controlled the formation of volatile basic nitrogen. Histamine content of samples fermented at $25{\sim}55^{\circ}C$ after 240 days were 9~20 mg/kg showing that it was not significantly different among salt concentration. The results indicated that the controlled salt concentration and fermentation temperature could be used as a successful process for fish sauce of jack mackerel as an unused resource.

As part of the government's fishery resource creation policy, fishing ground creation projects have been undertaken in Korea's major seashore fishing spots since the 1970s, where artificial reefs constructed using new materials that make up for the weakness of concrete reefs have been used. In this study, the stability of these artificial reefs when acted upon by external forces, their ability to attract and gather fish, and their economic feasibility were examined. For this purpose, an experimental artificial steel reef was constructed and was installed in an area of the sea. Then the corrosion of the experimental material attached to it was investigated. The efficiency of the artificial steel reef was then verified by examining its functionality, removal, and burying, as well as the speed of insertion of living things into its structure and its ability to attract and gather fish.

A variety of fish species undergo an ontogenetic change in prey selectivity, and several potentially interacting factors, including nutrient requirement, microhabitat change, and foraging ability, may account for the occurrence of the shift. Here we examine the foraging ecology and ontogenetic diet shift of a micro-carnivorous goby, Pterogobius elapoides (serpentine goby), dominant component of fish assemblage in shallow rocky areas off the coast in Korea and Japan. Although most other gobies are primarily benthic carnivores, P. elapoides is a semipelagic fish; however, little is known about how those species change their foraging tactics with growth. In our diet analyses, the most common diet was pelagic copepods and benthic amphipods, and diet shift was observed from pelagic to benthic with growth. The ontogenetic diet shift seems to be the result of the preference for energetically more profitable prey in larger-size classes as well as the results of different prey availability due to among-habitat variation in diet. However, differential food preference does not appear to affect individual scope for searching food. Several factors such as predation pressures and interspecific resource partitioning might contribute to the changes in diet observed among size classes, which were included in our ongoing tests.

The production of surf clam, Mactra veneriformis, an important fishery resource in Korea, has recently been decreasing. This study was carried out to examine effects of spawning on immune functions of this species. Total hemocyte count (THC), phenoloxidase (PO) activity, phagocytic activity, neutral red retention (NRR) time and antibacterial activity were assessed. Spawned clams showed reduction in THC, PO, phagocytic activity and NRR times compared with unspawned ones. While spawning event did not elicit any change of antibacterial activity in both spawned and unspawned ones. This study indicates that spawning process decreases immune functions in the surf clams which could cause mortality increment and yield reduction.

한반도 주변 3개 해역은 서로 다른 지형과 다양한 해류의 교차로 종다양성의 근간이 된다. 또한, 복잡한 해류가 만나는 전선 주변으로는 좋은 어장이 형성된다. 그러나, 남획에 의한 자원의 감소 및 EEZ 발효에 의한 어장의 축소는 새로운 수산자원 관리법을 필요로 하게 되었다. 수산자원의 효율적 관리를 위해 우선 다양한 해양환경에 적응한 지역개체군의 실체를 파악하는 것이 필요하다. 지역개체군의 형태 및 유전에 관한 연구는 자원의 관리단위 및 구역을 명확히 하는 데 기여할 것이다. 최종적으로 해역별 수산자원의 관리방안 제시가 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

The mitochondrial genome of a species is an essential resource for its effective conservation and phylogenetic studies. In this article, we present sequencing and characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of a threatened labeonine fish, Cirrhinus reba collected from Khulna region of Bangladesh. The complete mitochondrial genome was 16,597 bp in size, which formed a circular double-stranded DNA molecule containing a total of 37 mitochondrial genes (13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes) with two non-coding regions, an origin of light strand replication (OL) and a displacement loop (D-loop), similar structure with other fishes of Teleostei. The phylogenetic tree demonstrated its close relationship with labeonine fishes. The complete mitogenome of Cirrhinus reba (GenBank no. MN862482) showed 99.96% identity to another haplotype of Cirrhinus reba (AP013325), followed by 90.18% identity with Labeo bata (AP011198).

어류는 수체 내에 서식하기 때문에 시각적으로 행동이나 이동을 연구하는 데에는 어려움이 있다. 원격측정방식 중 하나인 수중음향측정 방식(acoustic telemetry)은 수생 생물 특히, 어류에 효과적으로 적용되는 방식으로 이동경로 및 거리, 패턴의 분석에 효과적이다. 본 연구에서는 국내에 서식하는 잉어과 어류인 눈불개를 대상으로 하여 수중음향측정방식을 적용, 서식처범위(home range)와 이동패턴에 대한 모니터링을 시행하였다. 연구는 금강 하구둑부터 백제보까지의 약 70 km 구간을 대상으로 총 9 개체의 눈불개를 하구둑(Sc1-3)과 백제보(Sc4-9)에서 각각 방류하여 모니터링을 진행하였다. 하구둑에서 방류한 개체들은 방류지점으로부터 12.7 km 상류지점까지를 서식처 범위로 하여 이동하는 패턴을 나타냈고, 백제보에서 방류한 개체들은 가장 하류까지 이동한 Sc6 (방류지점에서 직선거리로 53.4 km 하류까지 이동)을 제외하고 대부분 방류지점에서 7.2 km 하류 지역을 서식처 범위로 이용하고 있었다. 상대적으로 크기가 작은 Sc7, 8, 9 개체는 큰 이동을 보이지 않았다. 눈불개의 총 이동거리는 개체의 체장의 크기와 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났고($r_s$=0.715, p=0.03), 또한 이동 개체와 이동하지 않은 개체 비교 시 이동 개체들의 체장이 통계적으로 유의하게 큰 것으로 확인되었다(Mann-Whitney U test, p=0.024). 따라서 눈불개의 이동 범위는 크기와 관련이 있고, 체장이 커질수록 총 이동거리가 늘어나는 것으로 나타났다. 비록 모니터링 개체수가 많지 않았지만 대상종의 이동과 관련된 의미 있는 자료들의 수집이 가능하였으며, 연구방식이 전반적으로 국내의 다양한 어류에 안정적으로 적용이 가능하기 때문에 향후 어류의 이동을 모니터링을 하는데 있어서 활용가치가 높을 것으로 판단되었다.

Why are auctions so prevalent in fisheries fields\ulcorner One answer is, perhaps, that fisheries products have no standard value. The price of any catch of fish (at least of fish destined for the fresh fish market) depends on the demand and supply conditions at a specific moment of time, influenced by prospective market developments and prices must be remade for each transaction. There are various auction schemes including written-bid method in Korea. It is difficult to make decision the application of auction selling in market distribution. One reason is the absence of adequate data on which to base firm statements. There is very little precise information about the relative volume handled by auction scheme as compared with other sales schemes Because of the paucity reliable data, one must depend largely on qualitative in attempting to above this problem. This paper is designed to examine which auction scheme is more efficient as a economic tool by introducing the three auctions, as samples, utilized in Koheung peninsula. Koheung coast with abundant fisheries resource, locates on the Middle-South part in Korea and has three auction firm operating by fisheries cooperatives. fur selling of dry fish included sea weed, live fish and fresh fish respectively, As a result, 1 found that there are three interesting auction schemes as follow : 1. More than one winners are selected as buyers. The highest bidder can at first get fishes he wants to buy, second winner can get surplus fishes after the highest bidder employes one's privilege with the highest pay, and next winner would be a buyer if fishes would be left in sequence after being sold with higher price. Every fisherman can sell one' s fishes with equal unit price if he delivery it to the winner within one day. Therefore, all the vendors feel they are equal members of fisheries cooperation. 2. Written-bid pricing on the cover of handy book. It is easy to write and to erase the figure more than on the small black board, and is convenient also to keep in the pocket. 3. Auctioning on the fixed platform with fixed fish tank is a very fast auction scheme in spite of short displaying time. Auctioneer presides bidding at one place on the fixed platform, instead of moving, vendors should carry a container of live fishes in the fish tank into showing table in front of would-be buyers and auctioneer. Although the applicability of the auction system to a marketing problem depends in part on subjective considerations by those making decision, basically it is a matter of comparative economic efficiency. In general, if the scheme maximizes returns in relation to the effort expanded by both buyers and sellers, it will be utilized. If it does not, a more efficiency may take place over a period of time, but, even more important, those making decisions may become aware of the potentialities of new schemes. Therefore, in order to applicate the three interesting auction schemes introduced in this paper to other fisheries market, it is necessary not only to analyze many other auction schemes but also to compare the economic efficiency those schemes utilizing in other fisheries market.

피라미는 국내 하천에서 서식하며 국지적인 회유를 하는 대표적인 어종이다. 피라미와 같이 작은 몸집의 국지회유성 어종은 서식처간의 이동이 생존을 위해 필수적이다. 그러나 어류 서식처간의 연결부가 배수암거(culvert)로 설치되어 있는 경우에는 평상시 빠른 유속이 발생되어 어류 이동에 많은 장애를 주고 있다. 외국에서는 배수암거의 설계유량과 유속기준이 홍수기간과 어류가 상류로 올라가는 기간별로 필요한 기능에 따라 제시되어 있어 홍수시에는 홍수소통기능, 평상시에는 어도기능이 발휘되도록 설계하고 있다. 암거식 어도의 설치는 암거의 어도기능을 향상시키는 방법 중 하나이다. 그러나 국내에서는 배수암거의 설계유량과 유속기준이 홍수소통기능에 대해서만 제시되어 있어 어도기능은 고려하지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 옵셋배플 설치후 수리특성 및 어류이동 효과의 실험을 실험수로 내에서 일정간격의 유속단계별로 옵셋배플 설치전과 비교하며 분석하였다. 실험 결과 유속 1.2m/s 경우에서는 높이 5cm의 옵셋배플 설치 후 유속이 저감됨에 따라 피라미가 암거식 어도를 따라서 상류로 거슬러 올라가는 성공률, 즉 소상성공률이 최대 20% 개선됨을 확인하였다. 특히 직각으로 설치된 짧은 배플 구간이 피라미가 이동하는 주 이동경로로 나타났다. 그리고 FLOW-3D 모형을 이용한 3차원 수치해석을 수행하여 어도 설계시 수치모형실험의 활용가능성을 검토하였다.
