Precautionary measures are cost-effective for the introduction and management of industrial insects. However, the Influx of exotic pests has not been managed very well in Korea, because of the system problems such as the lack of quarantine facilities. Additionally, there is no managing facilities or regulations for their installation according to the categories about industrial insects in Korea. Firstly, we studied the foreign guidelines for arthropod containment system such as ACLs(Arthropod Containment Levels) and the applicable guidelines for insect quarantine facilities in Korea. Secondly, we classified the types of industrial insects by their characteristics and considered the practicable guidelines for installation of quarantine facilities according to the industrial insect types. Lastly, with the related references including the details about installation and management for LMO(Living genetically Modified Organism) research facilities, we discussed appropriate guidelines for installation and management of pest quarantine system in Korea.
Macroinvertebrates were examined to elucidate community structures of a total of 5 rice paddy types, Korea. A total of 67 species were found in the study sites. Generally, macroinvertebrates were dominated by Pomacea canaliculata. Limnodrilus gotoi, Ephydridae sp. in organic rice field. Also, aquatic insects were dominated by Diptera, which constituted 25% (17 species) of the total number of species collected. The diversity of macroinvertebrate in several organic rice paddies was higher than that of conventional rice field. The organic rice paddy and nonpesticide agricultural area were also diverse. Samplings were used to detect the influence of farming activities on macroinvertebrate community variation. The study indicated that studied sites showed difference in their macroinvertebrate composition, and these differences are strongly related to differences in habitat quality and microhabitats.
