The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries promoted the installation of eel-ladder for the purpose of creating inland water resources. Currently, eel-ladder have been installed and operated at the Geumgang Estuary Bank (2018), Yeongam Embankment (2019), and Asanman Embankment (2020). In this study, the number of glass eels in eel-ladder in 2021 was monitored and factors affecting the rise that from ocean to river of eels were investigated. Glass eels in eel-ladder were found when the salinity was relatively low, and they started when the freshwater and seawater temperatures were above 20℃. Comparing the number of occurrences by year, the largest number of glass eels was observed in 2021, but it is judged that this is not according to the distribution of glass eels in sea, but rather as a result of the investigator’s eel-ladder repair and guidance on illegal fishing.

2020년 3월부터 10월까지 군산시의 중초산 저수지와 북초산 저수지의 어류상 및 군집분석을 하였다. 조사기간 동안 채집된 어류는 중초산 저수지에서 4목 5과 8종 1,895개체, 북초산 저수지에서 3목 5과 7종 171개체였다. 중초산 저수지의 우점종은 참붕어 (661개체, 상대풍부도: 34.7%) 아우점 종은 흰줄납줄개 (660개체, 상대풍부도: 34.7%), 북초산 저수지는 배스 (77개체, 45.0%)와 붕어 (60개체, 35.1%) 순으로 나타났다. 군집분석 결과 중초산 저수지는 우점도 0.697, 다양도 1.483, 균등도 0.713, 종 풍부도 0.928, 북초산 저수지는 우점도 0.801, 다양도 1.304, 균등도 0.670, 종 풍부도 1.167을 보였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 생태계 교란생물인 배스의 영향으로 토착어종의 개체수와 군집의 다양도가 감소한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 외래어종의 지속적인 제거와 유입을 막는 관리가 요구된다.

미국가재는 멕시코 북동부 및 미국 중남부가 원산지로, 전 세계에 유입되어 서식처 파괴와 토착종과의 경쟁 등 많은 문제를 야기하고 있다. 본 조사에서 영산강 6개 지점, 만경강 5개 지점, 섬진강 2개 지점 금강 1개 지점에서 확인되었으며, 주요 수계에서 정착 서식하는 것으로 나타났다. 완주군 서봉리와 함평군 모산리는 20개체 이상이 확인 되어 비교적 큰 개체군을 형성하고 있을 것으로 추정된다. 높은 이동성과 환경적응력으로 보아 확인된 지점에서 타 수계로의 유입 가능성이 매우 높을 것으로 생각되며, 이에 지속적인 확산 현황 파악과 생태계 피해 예방을 위한 지속적 제거 노력이 필요하다.

We have used bulked segregant analysis to screen the strain-specific DNA marker associated thermophilic strain of Pleurotus eryngii. Bulked genomic DNAs of Pleurotus eryngii were amplified by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) using OP-A, OP-B, OP-L, OP-P, OP-R and OP-S primers to screen the strain-specific DNA marker. A unique DNA fragment of 500 bp was amplified with OP-A11 primer from the psychrophilic strain and sequenced. A sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) marker was designed on the basis of the determined sequence and named as OP-A11-1. The PCR analysis with the OP-A11-1 primer showed that this SCAR marker clearly distinguish the psychrophilic strains from the control strains.

Spent mushroom substrate (SMS) is a by-product remaining after a crop of mushrooms. The fresh SMS was sample within 24 hours of removal from the production facility in DOJUN farm located in Jinju. About 11 bacterial species were isolated from fresh SMS on TSA medium. Among of them, one isolate, designated YJ02, showed the antifungal activity against Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus ochraceous producing mycotoxin on PDA medium, potentially. The strain YJ02 was produced cellulase, xylanase, mannanase as hydrolase. The strain YJ02 was identified as members of the genus Bacillus by biochemical characteristics using Bacillus ID kit and VITEK 2 system. Comparative 16S rDNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain YJ02 formed a distinct phylogenetic tree within the genus Bacillus and was most closely related to Bacillus amyloliquefaciens with 16S rDNA gene sequence similarity of 98.7%. On the basis of its physiological properties, biochemical characteristics and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain YJ02 was classified within the genus Bacillus, for which the name Bacillus amyloliquefaciens YJ02 is proposed.

Spent mushroom substrate(SMS) is a by-product remaining after a crop of mushrooms. About 9 thermophilic strains were isolated from SMS(Flammulina velvtipes). Among of them, one isolate, designated UJ09, showed the antifungal activity against Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus ochraceous producing mycotoxin on PDA medium, potentially. The strain UJ09 was produced cellulase and xylanase as hydrolase. The strain UJ21 was identified as members of the genus Bacillus by biochemical characteristics using Bacillus ID kit and VITEK 2 system. Comparative 16S rDNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain UJ09 formed a distinct phylogenetic tree within the genus Bacillus and was most closely related to Bacillus amyloliquefaciens with 16S rDNA gene sequence similarity of 99.2%. On the basis of its physiological properties, biochemical characteristics and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain UJ09 was classified within the genus Bacillus, for which the name Bacillus amyloliquefaciens UJ09 is proposed.

This study was conducted to evaluate the feeding value of the spent mushroom (Pleurotus eryngii) substrates (SMS) in laying hens (Hy-Line Brown). The fresh spent mushroom (Pleurotus eryngii) substrates collected from the DOJUN farm were fermented with Bacillus subtilis EJ3 for 2 weeks. A total of twenty-four laying hens were fed corn-soy based experimental diets containing 0% (control), 5% (T1), 10% (T2) and 15%(T3) fermented SMS for 7 weeks. There were no significant differences among the treatments in egg production, egg weight, egg mass, feed conversion and viability during the experimental period. Feed intake was significantly lowered in control (118.3 g) than T1 (121.9 g), T2 (120.3 g) and T3 (122.4 g). There were no significant differences among the treatments eggshell breaking strength, thickness and haugh unit, whereas the yolk color of T1, T2 and T3 were significantly heavy than T0. The palatability of boiled meat was significantly better in the T3 laying hens than in the T0 laying hens. In conclusion, fermented SMS can be used as resource of feed in laying hen feed at 5.0-15% level without effect on performance and egg qualify.
