The present study investigated the intra-vitam larval migration of Anisakis pegreffii, which is naturally infected, from the intestine to the viscera and the musculature of live spotty-bellied greenling, Hexagrammos otakii, under the different seawater temperatures. The results showed that the increase in the ratio of larval migration from the intestine to the viscera correlated with the increase in the water temperature in the aquarium. The intra-vitam larval migration ratios from the intestine to the viscera were 60% (63/105) at 15°C, 1.64% (3/183) at 12°C, 1.16% (2/172) at 9°C and 1.42% (2/141) in the control group (7.5°C). The free larvae showed no, slight and strong movement at 9°C, 12°C and 15°C, respectively, in saline water, and the larvae were present in a coiled state at 9°C and 12°C. The results suggest that temperature plays an important role in the intra-vitam larval migration of A. pegreffii. In addition, the free larval behavior of A. pegreffii in vitro increased with increase in temperature. Therefore, to prevent human anisakiasis caused by the consumption of raw fish, it is important that the temperature of the aquarium must be maintained below 12°C, which is the critical temperature zone.

감자수염진딧물 (Macrosiphum euphorbiae)의 온도별 발육은 12.5~27.5°C까지 2.5°C 간격 (상대습도 65±5%, 광주기 16L : 8D), 7개 온도조건에서 1~2령, 3~4령의 2단계로 구분하여 조사하였다. 약충의 사망률은 7개 온도 중 6개 온도에서 10% 미만이었으나, 27.5°C에서 사망률은 53.0% 였다. 온도별 발육기간은 15.0°C에서 15.5일, 25.0°C에서는 6.7일로 고온으로 갈수록 발육기간은 짧아졌으나, 27.5°C 에서는 발육기간이 다시 길어져 9.7일이었다. 약충의 발육 영점온도는 2.6°C였고, 유효적산온도는 144.5일도였다. 약충의 발육을 5가지 비선형발육모형에 적용한 결과 Logan6 (r2=0.99) 모형이 발육에 적합하였고, 발육완료분포모형은 2-Weibull과 3-Weibull의 모형 적합성 (r2)이 각각 0.92 와 0.93으로 유사하였다. 성충 수명과 산자 수에서 성충 수명은 온도가 증가함에 따라 짧아지는 경향을 보였고, 산자 수는 20.0°C에서 64.4개로 가장 많은 산자를 생산하였다. 생명표분석에서 순증가율 (R0)은 20.0°C에서 63.2로 가장 컸고, 내적자연증가율 (rm)은 25.0°C에서 1.393로 가장 컸다. 배수증가기간 (Dt)은 25.0°C에서 2.091로 가장 짧았다. 기간자연증가율 (λ)은 25°C에서 가장 컸고 (1.393), 평균세 대기간 (T)은 25°C에서 9.929로 가장 짧았다.

We studied the infection rate of and various metacercariocidal approaches to controlling Gymnophalloides seoi for prevention of human infection in cultured and natural oysters in Korea. The selected survey areas were Aphae-do (Shinan-gun, Jeollanam-do), which is an endemic area for G. seoi, and Tongyeong (Geonsangnam-do), which is the main production area of oysters in Korea. In the Tongyeong area, the metacercariae of G. seoi were not detected in cultured oysters (0/201) or wild oysters (0/134). Seventy-two G. seoi metacercariae were observed in 33 of 265 natural oysters collected from Aphae-do; however, metacercariae were not detected in the cultured oysters (0/1101) purchased from the Daejeon Fish Market. To investigate the viability of G. seoi metacercariae, various metacercariocidal treatments were used with 3.5% saline and oyster juice used as positive controls. The metacercariae survived for 75.4 h in 3.5% saline and 112.6 h in oyster juice. After the metacercariocidal treatment, G. seoi metacercariae were survived for 13.29 min in tap water, < 20 sec in 4.3% vinegar, no effect in a rinse of the whole oyster body in 70°C water for 1 sec, but 1 sec in a rinse of the whole oyster body in 90°C water for 1 sec. The greatest metacercariocidal effect on G. seoi was from rinsing oysters in 90°C water followed by those from treatment with 20% ethyl alcohol, 4.3% vinegar, and tap water. However, we suggest that the most actual prevention to G. seoi human infection is rinsing the oysters with tap water for at least 30 min.

We used flowcytometry to ploidy verification after that investigate difference between diploid and spontaneous triploid through the truss dimension and classical dimension at crucian carp, Carassius auratus, crucian carp C. cuvieri and common carp, Cyprinus carpio collected from Hangang river, Hantangang river, Imjingang river, Geumgang river, Yeongsangang river and Nakdonggang river, Korea. There were significant differences among the three species for the truss dimensions anterior origin of dorsal fin (2)× anterior origin of anal fin (5), 2× anterior origin of pelvic fin (6), 2× origin of pectoral fin (7), posterior origin of dorsal fin (3)×5, 3×6, and 3×7 (P<0.05). There were no significant differences among the three species in the truss dimensions dorsal fin length (2×9) and eye diameter (ED)(P>0.05). On the other hand, there were no significant differences in the several classical dimensions of each species (P>0.05). Three classical dimensions, most anterior extension of the head (1)×2, 1×6 and 2× most posterior scale in lateral line (4) did not differ between the C. auratus diploid and spontaneous triploid (P>0.05). Two classical dimensions, 1×6 and longest length between most anterior extension of the head and gill cover (1×8) did not differ between the C. cuvieri diploid and spontaneous triploid (P>0.05). One classical dimensions, 1×2 did not differ between the common carp diploid and spontaneous triploid (P>0.05). There were significant differences in the each diploid and triploid species (P<0.05). These results suggest that the classification of each species and classification between diploid and spontaneous triploid morphometrical parameters used in this study are useful indices of morphometrical status in the each species from major river of Korea.
