This study was performed to estimate biomass and provide management guidance through population ecological characteristics, including growth parameters, instantaneous coefficients of natural and fishing mortalities, and age at first capture of the starry flounder, Platichthys stellatus and olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus of Korea. For describing growth of this species, a von Bertalanffy growth model was adopted. The von Bertalanffy growth parameters estimated from a non-linear regression for starry flounder were L∞=48.25 cm, K=0.16/yr, and t0=-1.48, respectively and those for olive flounder were L∞=86.46 cm, K=0.26/yr, and t0=-0.29, respectively. Biomass of Platichthys stellatus was estimated by direct biomass estimation method was 2.6 M/T, that was estimated by indirect method was 13.4 M/Tt. Those of Paralichthys olivaceus were estimated as 10.1 M/T, 19.3 M/T, respectively. An yield per recruit analysis showed that the current yield per recruit on Platichthys stellatus was about 48.2 g with F=0.646/yr and the age at first capture (tc) 1.35yr, that on Paralichthys olivaceus was about 167.6 g with F=1.121/yr and the age at first capture (tc) 1yr.

This study is to analyse the timing of the structural change of price volatility and the asymmetry of price volatility during the period before and after the timing of the structural change of price volatility using Jeju Farming Olive Flounder’s production area market price data from January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2013. The analysis methods of Quandt-Andrews break point test and Threshold GARCH model are employed. The empirical results of this study are summarized as follows: First, the result of Quandt-Andrews break point test shows that a single structural change in price volatility occurred on May 4, 2010 over the sample period. Second, during the period before structural change, daily price change rate has averagely positive value which means price increase, but during the period after structural change daily price change rate has averagely negative value which means price decrease. Also, daily volatility of price change rate during the period before structural change is higher than during the period after structural change. This indicates that price volatility decreases after structural change. Third, the estimation results of Threshold GARCH Model show that the volatility response against price increase is larger during the period after structural change than during the period before structural change. Also the result shows the volatility response against price decrease is larger during the period after structural change than during the period before structural change. And, irrespective of the timing of structural change, price increase has an larger effect on volatility than price decrease. This means volatility is asymmetric at price increase.

본 연구는 고온미생물인 Bacillus coagulans를 이용하여 발효시킨 탈피대두박(fermented soybean meal; FS)을 어분대체 단백질원으로서 10%, 20% 및 30% 수준별로 첨가한 배합사료를 급여하여 넙치의 성장 및 육질에 미치는 영향을 비교 조사하였다. 사육실험은 평균체중 123 g의 넙치를 원형수조에 50마리씩 실험구별로 3반복으로 수용하면서, 대조 배합사료(control)와 실험배합사료(FS10, FS20, FS30)를 8주간 사육하였다. 수분과 조단백질 함량은 대조 배합사료를 공급한 넙치의 등근육과 실험 배합사료를 공급한 넙치의 등근육에서 유의적한 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 조지방 함량은 실험배합사료 FS20, FS30을 공급한 넙치 등근육에서 유의적으로 높은 값을 나타내었다. 18:2n-6의 함량은 실험배합사료 FS10, FS20, FS30을 공급한 넙치 등근육에서 대조 배합사료를 공급한 넙치 등근육보다 유의적으로 높게 나타났다. 모든 시험구에서 넙치 등근육의 유리아미노산 중 taurine, leucine, alanine, lysine이 공통적으로 높은 함량을 나타내었고, 공급한 사료에 따라 넙치 등근육의 유리아미노산에는 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 핵산관련물질 중 AMP의 함량은, FS20 및 FS30을 공급한 넙치 등근육에서 대조 배합사료를 공급한 것보다 유의적으로 높은 함량을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과로부터, 본 실험 사료조성으로 넙치 치어를 사육하였을 때 어분대체 단백질원으로서 발효대두박을 어분 단백질 함량기준으로 30%까지 대체 가능할 것으로 생각되었다.

Antibiotic Detection Kit (Combination I), a lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) developed for the detection of antibiotic residues in milk, was utilized for the analysis of antibiotic residues in the muscle tissue of olive flounder. After 60-min treatment by dipping in water dosed with ampicillin (200-g/ton water), the residue depletion of ampicillin was investigated in 25 cultured olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). Muscles of fish were sampled on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th day after drug treatment. The concentration of ampicillin in the muscle was determined by LFIA. The absorbance ratio of the sample to the control blank (Bs/Bo) was employed as an index to determine the muscle residues in olive flounder. To investigate the recovery rate, standard solutions were added to muscle samples to give final concentrations in the muscle of 4 and 8 ng/ml. The recovery rates of all spiked samples were > 96% of the spiked value. Ampicillin was detected in the muscle of fish treated with the drug until the 2nd day of the withdrawal period. The present study showed that the LFIA can be easily adopted to predict ampicillin residues in tissue of farmed fishes.
