As a part of chemical study on the bioactive metabolites from marine organisms, we have investigated cytotoxicity using brine shrimp bioassay for each solvent fractions of the marine algae(12 species), marine sponges(3 species), coelenterates(2 species), echinoderms(4 species), marine molluscs(17 species), and ascidians(2 species), respectively. As the results, chloroform extract of Stichopus japonicus (LC$_{50}$ : 274 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml), ethyl acetate extract of Anthocidaris crassispina(LC$_{50}$ : 121 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml), n-butanol extract of Unda), ia Pinnatifida (LC$_{50}$ : 178 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml), and water extract of Thais clavigera (LC$_{50}$ : 61 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) displayed the most significant cytotoxic activity against brine shrimp. Among the marine organisms tested, echinoderms and marine molluscs were thought to be the most active Phylums on screening of new bioactive compounds.

Four species of opisthobranch molluscs collected from Jeju Island were identified as Pleurobranchus peronii Cuvier, 1804, Pleurobranchus weberi (Bergh, 1905), Aplysiopsis nigra (Baba, 1949) and Stiliger aureomarginatus Jensen, 1993. All of the species and genera examined here are new to Korea. Pleurobranchus peronii and P. weberi were easily distinguished to each species by dorsal tubercles and markings. In this report, we provided descriptions and photographs of these species for identification.

Molluscs from the Neolithic shell middens (Sugari, Pudjeong, Tongsamdong, Sangnodaedo, Sandeung, Yondaedo, Songdo and Kupyongri) in the southern coast, Korea, consisted of marine, fresh-water and land molluscs. Among these, intertidal species were exploited most abundantly as food resources, indicating a high dependence of intertidal shellfish collection activities. Especially oysters were the most abundant in these sites except Tongsamdong where mussels were predominant, indicating oysters were the most important food resources. Land snails from the sites consisted of woodland and open land species. Woodland species were more abundant than openland species, suggesting that there was a woodland environmint around the sites. Marine and land mollusc species from the sites are common in these rigions today, indicating no large-scale emvironmental changes have occurred since these middens formation period.

The objectives of this study is to analyze the competitiveness of fisheries trade between Korea and China, and to estimate strategic seafood export products for Korea-China FTA in fisheries sector. The results of analyses indicate that Korea has comparative advantages in export items such as spanish mackerel, flatfish, cod, roe in frozen fish(0303), and squid, sea cucumber, oyster in molluscs(0307). In addition, tuna in prepared or preserved fish(1604), sea cucumber in crustacean, molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates(1605) have comparative advantage in exporting to China.

Marine microalgae are used extensively in mariculture as food for marine animals, in particular larval and juvenile molluscs, crustaceans and fish. A wide range of microalgae has been tested, because not all species are equally successful in supporting growth of a particular animal. In addition, bioactivities of marine microalgae are recently investigated for the effective exploitation of unutilized marine resources. (omitted)

A survey was carried out two times at 11 localities on the marine molluscan fauna of Saemangeum during the periods from August 3rd to August 5th, and from August 23rd to August 25th 2003. The total number of molluscan species identified in this study was 88 species in 40 families, and among them 51 species in 34 families include Eurytrochus cognatus were new to the fauna of Saemangeum. In addition to the previously described 58 species in 31 families, a total of 109 species in 48 families of marine mollusca have been reported at Saemangeum up to date.

To determine the status of Korean molluscs infection and relation with climate change of Korean peninsula, references were reviewed. Wild animals serve as intermediate, reservoirs and paratenic hosts to zoonotic parasites of human beings. Trematode are common parasites of molluscs and almost all trematodes infect mollusks as the first host in the life cycle, and most have a complex life cycle involving other hosts. The significance of auxiliary hosts to the ecology of the parasite has not been proper discussion. There is increasing concern as to the impact of climate change on the epidermiology of many parasitic diseases. A total of 21 species for snail transmitted parasites from Korean molluscs has been reviewed. Among them, 15 species was aquatic mollusks and 6 species for marine mollusks. Maximum infections belonged to Semisulcospira livertina had 11 kind of parasite pathogenic organisms, including Paragonimus westermani, Metagonimus yokogawai, Centrocestus armatus, Notocotylus magniovatus, Centrocestus formosanus, incerte cercaria, nipponensis cercaria, Yoshidae cercaria, cristata cercaria, innominatum cercaria and Metagonimus sp. And 11 in Parafossarulus manchouricus including Clonorchis sinensis, Asymphylodora japonica, Cyathocotyle orientalis, Exorchis oviformis, Notocotylus attenuatus, Echinochasmus japonicus, Loxogenes liberum, Cercariae of Loxogenes liberum Type I, Cercariae of Loxogenes liberum Type II, Furcocercus cercariae (Family Sanguincolidae) and Cercaria of Mucobucaris, 10 in Semisulcospira sp. including Paragonimus westermani, Metagonimus yokogawai, Centrocestus armatus, Echinochasmus redioduplicatus, Notocotylus magniovatus, Cercaria incerte, Cercaria nipponensis, Cercaria yoshidae, paludinarum cercaria and Metagonimus sp., 7 in Koreanomelania globus including Pseudexorchis major, Cercaria of parapleurolophocercous type, Metagonimus sp. (A & B), Cercaria nipponensis, Cercaria inserta and Cercaria yoshidae. Also, Tapes philippinarum have 3 pathogenic organisms including Cercariae tapidis, Cercariae furcocercus and Parvatrema sp. In particular, under climatic extremes such as floods and drought, aquatic molluscs may play a more prominent role in parasite transmission in the future.

Chejudo, because of its location off the south coast of the Korean peninsula, has a varied marine mollusk fauna. As a preliminary step in an attempt to enumerate and study the mollusks of the island, a field trip was made by the authors to the Songsan Ilchulbang area on february 20, 2001. The purpose of the trip was to survey the mollusk fauna of the shoreline west of Songsan. (omitted)

Perkinsus 속은 원생동물문에 속하며 현재 세계적으로 5종이 보고되고 있다. 이들은 모두 기생생물로 수산업적으로 매우 중요한 해산 패류에 막대한 피해를 입히고 있다. Perkinsus는 국내의 경우 1995년에 바지락에서 발견되었으며 일부 바지락 양식장에 있어 바지락 대량 폐사에 직, 간접적으로 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 국내에서 발견된 Perkinsus는 아직 정확한 분류학적 위치가 밝혀지지 않고 있으나 일본에서 발견된 종 및 유럽에서 발견된 Perkinsus atlanticus와 매우 유사한 종으로 간주된다 이 논단에서는 해산 연체동물에 기생하는 Perkinsus의 생활사, 조직병리학적 관찰, 생태적 특성 및 최근의 연구 동향 등을 보고하고자 한다.
