Age and growth of Glyptocephalus stelleri in the East Sea of Korea were determined, from monthly samples of commercial catches, caught by the eastern sea Danish seine fishery in 2007. The annuli of G. stelleri are formed once a year, with the boundary between opaque and translucent zones forming in September. Relationships between total length (TL) and total weight (TW) were $TW=0.002TL^{3.392}$ ($r^2=0.970$) for females and $TW=0.002TL^{3.335}$ ($r^2=0.961$) for males. TLs at annuli formation in otoliths were back-calculated from the otolith-length relationship and were adjusted to von Bertalanffy growth curves to $L_t=39.71(1-{\exp}^{(-0.152(t+1.156))})$ for females and $L_t=32.16(1-{\exp}^{(-0.213(t+0.879))})$ for males. From the age of 3 years, females grew faster than males (P<0.05).

The age and growth of marbled flounder Pseudopleuronectes yokohamae in coastal waters of the East Sea of Korea off Pohang were determined, by evaluating monthly samples of commercial catches, caught by gill nets and longlines from February 2013 to January 2014. New annuli from annually in P. yokohamae otoliths, and the boundary between the opaque and translucent zones forms from March to May. The relationships between total length (TL) and total weight (TW) were $TW=0.009TL^{3.128}$ ($R^2=0.969$) for females and $TW=0.008TL^{3.150}$ ($R^2=0.964$) for males. The TLs at the time of annulus formation, back-calculated from the otolith-length relationship by reference to the von Bertalanffy growth curves, were $L_t=52.63$ ($1-{\exp}^{(-0.231(t+0.033))}$) for females and $L_t=36.22$ ($1-{\exp}^{(-0.400(t+0.117))}$) for males. Commencing at the age of 3 years, females grew faster than males (P<0.05).

Age growth and spawning period of Enedrias nebulosus were estimated based on otoliths taken from a total of 255 fish samples of E. nebulosus, which were caught in the costal waters of $Kod\v{o}kto$ near Pusan from November 1990 to October 1991. Marginal increment analysis indicates that annuli in E. nebulosus are formed in December. Spawning period was estimated to be November to January, with a peak in December. The von Bertalanffy growth equations were expressed as follows: $L_t=33.64(1-e^{-0.1357(t+2.6853)})$ and $W_t=414.11(1-e^{-0.1357(t+2.6853)})^{3.9745}$, Where $L_t$, is total length in cm, $W_t$, is total weight in g and t is age in year.

The age and growth of brown sole, Pleuronectes herzensteini were investigated from samples randomly collected in the East Sea of Korea from April, 2003 to March, 2004. Ages were determined from annuli in otoliths and annuli were formed between March and May once a year. Also, main spawning period were estimated between March and April, thus rings were considered as annual marks. The von Bertalanffy growth parameters estimated from a non-linear regression method were $L_{\infty}=37.2cm$, K=0.131/year, $t_0=-2.008years$ for female and $L_{\infty}=28.3cm$, K=0.177/year, $t_0=-2.135years$ for male, and the growth between female and male was different.

Age and growth of shotted halibut Eopsetta grigorjewi were estimated using right sagittal otoliths of 389 fish specimens from February 2004 to January 2005 in the East China Sea. Examination of outer margins of the otolith showed that the opaque zone was formed once a year and annual rings were formed from December to March. The age of specimens examined ranged from 3 to 5 years. Shotted halibut begin spawning in February and show a peak in March. Length and weight relationships showed no significant difference between females and males (P>0.05), and can be expressed as TW=$0.5091{\times}10^{-2}TL^{3,222}(r^2=0.92)$. Estimated von Bertalanffy growth curve was $L_t=46.58(1-e^{-0.14(1+1.32)})$.

Dizziness is one of common diseases clinically, it is defined as a hallucination or an illusion of motion that causes sensation disorder of circumstance, and described as circulatory. rotatory leaning. shaking sensation. In particular, benign paroximal positional vertigo(BPPV) is one of peripheral vertigo, it causes dizziness due to debris which has collected within a part of the inner ear. Chemically, debris are small crystals of calcium carbonate. They are derived from structures in the ear called 'otoliths' that have been damaged by head injury, infection, or other disorder of the inner ear, or degenerated because of advanced age. The symptoms of BPPV include dizziness or vertigo, lightheadedness, imbalance, and nausea, Activities which bring on symptoms will vary in each person, but symptom are almost always precipitated by a position change of the head or body. As for treatment of vertigo, it is differentiated as excess in the upper and deficiency in the lower(上實下虛) and treated in oriental medicine and are used to stability. antihistaminics . anticolinergics . vestibule control drug of GABA system in western medicine. Moreover, Dix-hallpike maneuver is applicated in diagnosis and treatment of BPPV patients. A case of dizziness patient suggested benign paroximal positional vertigo who is diagnosed as weakly dizziness(虛暈)showed prominent improvement by Jaeumkunbitang-gamibang(滋陰建脾湯) and Dix-hallpike maneuver.

Characteristics of age and growth of the black rockfish, Sebastes inermis sampled in the Jeonnam Marine Ranching Area (JMRA) around Geumo Islands south of Yeosu were investigated using 642 otoliths from March 2009 to February 2010. The opaque zone was formed in September once a year and hence it was used as an annulus. The parturient period was December to January, and therefore the duration from fertilization to the complete formation of the opaque zone was nineteen months. From the parameters calculated using the average length when the year ring was formed, growth of S. inermis were expressed by von Bertalanffy growth equation as $L_t$=23.267 ($1-e^{-0.4406(t+1.1971)}$) for females and $L_t$=22.030 ($1-e^{-0.5312(t+0.6834)}$) for males when is total length in age t. Through the growth equations, the maximum length was determined as 23.27cm for females and 22.03cm for males and the growth factor as 0.4406/yr and 0.5312/yr, respectively. Finally, the growth of female S. inermis is larger than the one of male S. inermis.

Age and growth of stone flounder kareius bicolortus in approaches to Kyongyolbiyolto of Yellow sea were studied by otolith reading of 248 fishes from September 1992 to August 1993. Examination of the ourter margins of the otoliths showed that th hyaline zone as annulus was formed once a year and that its formation was completed at the end of the spawning season(Jan. to Feb.). Growth of the fish was expressed by the von Bertalanffy's equation as Lt=313.7[1-exp{-0.463(t+0.0704)}] for males and Lt=478.6[1-exp{-0.286(t-0.1619)}] for females, where Lt is body length in mm and It is age in years. It was found that growth of males and females differs, with the females showing a higher growth than the males. Growth in body weight was also examined. The oldest fish were seven years old for males and females.

In order to understand the age and growth characteristics of Pacific anchovy, Engraulis japonicus, the 506 otoliths of individuals collected in the southern waters of Korea in 2004 were analyzed. Monthly age of anchovies was estimated based on the age determined through the year rings and their collection date. The growth parameters obtained using the monthly folk lengths were a theoretical maximum body length of 132.9 mm, a growth coefficient of 0.1079/month and a theoretical age of 0.0262 month when the fork length is zero. The growth equation of von Bertalanffy presented by the growth parameters was L_t=132.9(1-e^{-0.1079(t-1.0262)}). The estimation of growth parameters based on the monthly age established through year ring and collection date was deemed appropriate for understanding the growth characteristics of anchovies.

We examined the growth and age structure for chub mackerel caught by a large purseseine in the Korean waters from January to December 2015. A total of 459 specimens were used for otolith analysis, ranging from 19.6 cm to 46.0 cm in fork length. Translucent zone was regarded as an annual mark, and age was counted using the information of the number of translucent zone, capture date, edge type of the otolith and nominal birthdate of 1 January. Annuli in otoliths were mainly formed in May, coinciding with the spawning season. Estimated ages were 0~6 years, and the von Bertalanffy growth models were not significantly different between male and female. Sex-combined growth model was obtained as FL_t=39.3×{1-exp[-0.90×(t+0.033)]}. Among the chub mackerel caught in 2015, the age 2 group had the highest proportion (30.9%), and the age 0 to 2 group accounted for 88.5% of the total catch.
