We have conducted faunistic study of sea lice collected from marine plankton samples of western and southern coasts of Korea. These specimens were identified as Caligus undulatus Shen and Li, 1959, belonging to family Caligidae and order Siphonostomatoida with worldwide distribution. The range extension of C. undulatus is reported in addition to the previously known distributional range from the Northwest Pacific (China, Japan, and Korea), India, Brazil, and Mexico. This species can be distinguished from all previous reports with characteristics such as overall body proportions of both sexes, structure details of mouth appendages, armature of legs, and some variation in body size. The distributional range of C. undulatus is now given with its northern and south hemisphere limit being 40 to $10^{\circ}N$ in the Indo-Pacific and $30^{\circ}S$ in the Southwest Atlantic. This is the first record of its female occurring in Korea.

Thirteen species of sea lice (Copepoda, Caligidae) are described as parasites of marine fishes from Korea including three new species such as Pseudocaligus longipes n. sp. from Siganus fuscesens (Houttuyn), Lepeophtheirus tamladus n. sp. from Sebastes inermis Cuvier, and Lepeophtheirus gusevi n. sp. from Sebasetes schlegeli Hilgendorf. Remaining ten species are new to Korea: Caligus elongatus Nordmann, 1832; C. equulae Ho and Lin, 2003; C. fistulariae Yamaguti, 1936; C. laticaudus Shiino, 1960; C. rotundigenitalis Y$\ddot{u}$, 1933; Metacaligus uruguayensis (Thomsen, 1949); Lepeophtheirus atypicus Lin, Ho and Chen, 1996; L. parvulus Shiino, 1952; Anuretes quadrilaterus Shiino, 1954; and Pseudanuretes chaetodontis Yamaguti, 1936.

Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were treated with ultrasonic (40kHz) and microbubble. The organic serum components, glucose were decreased compared to control at microbubble single treatment (M) and ultrasonic treatment (UL), but glucose concentrations in fish serum of all experimental groups analyzed in this study were also within the normal range. The organic serum components, cholesterol and total protein were no significant change by ultrasonic and microbubble treatment. There were no significant changes in the lysozyme activity on ultrasonic and microbubble treatment. Serum bactericidal activity decreased on ultrasonic single treatment (UL) compared to the control (P<0.05), but the numbers of bacterial colonies were significantly lower than those in the negative (PBS). The results of this study indicate that ultrasonic and microbubble treatment did not have a critical effect on the serum composition and innate immunity of O. mykiss, and that it is a way to do not significant stress on the fish body as a countermeasure against sea lice.
