Okadaic acid (OA) group toxins, including OA and its analogs, such as dinophysis toxins (DTXs), have been reported to cause diarrheal shellfish poisoning (DSP). These toxins are primarily produced by dinoflagellates and are accumulated in bivalves. Recently, the presence of Dinophysis sp., a causative alga of DSP, has been reported along the coasts of Korea, posing a potential risk of contamination to domestic seafood and exerting an impact on both the production and consumption of marine products. Accordingly, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have established standards for the permissible levels of OA group toxins in marine products for safety management. Additionally, in line with international initiatives, the domestic inclusion and regulation of DTX2 among the substances falling under the purview of management outlined by the 2022 diarrheal shellfish toxin standard have been implemented. In this study, we reviewed the physicochemical properties of OA group toxins, their various exposure routes (such as acute toxicity, genotoxicity, reproductive and developmental toxicity), and the relative toxicity factors associated with these toxins. We also performed a comparative assessment of the methods employed for toxin analysis across different countries. Furthermore, we aimed to conduct a broad review of human exposure cases and assess the international guideline for risk management of OA group toxins.

In this paper, among the various facilities used in marine farming, young bivalves of the Mytilus galloprovincialis of marine farming was placed on the deck of the fishing vessel to evaluate the environment conditions and drive shaft movement by rolling affecting the separator for the young bivalves and a clean process. There were a few studies on stress analysis of development facilities because it was difficult to access the fishing site due to the use of imported equipment and the lack of development of domestic equipment. In this study, stress analysis of the fixed part of separator for young bivalves and its adjacent part was performed on various phases when the vessel was tilted by rolling using the finite element method. In addition, the structural safety of the internal blade under the driving conditions according to the movement of the drive shaft by the hydraulic motor was confirmed through structural analysis. As a result, the connection part between the deck and the separator by rolling was confirmed to have higher stress than that of other parts due to stress concentration. In addition, it was confirmed that the maximum stress occurred on the connection part between blades. Even though the safety of the separator for marine farming was confirmed by structural analysis, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the age of vessels, the material of the deck, and the corrosion of the deck.

교통안전특정해역은 해사안전법에 따라 설정되어 대형 해양사고를 막고 수 역 안전 및 항행 안전을 확보하는 목적을 지니고 있다. 하지만, 설정 범위에 있 어 국제법과 행정상의 원칙에 저촉되는 사안이 있다. 먼저, 바다의 헌법이라 불리는 해양법에 관한 국제연합협약(유엔해양법협약) 에 따른 접속수역에 교통안전특정해역이 설정되어 있으며 접속수역이 갖는 관 할권을 기준으로 본다면 교통안전특정해역과 관련된 모든 법령이 저촉되는 것은 아니지만, 대부분 법령이 저촉된다는 점을 알 수 있다. 특히 접속수역에서 보장되는 항행의 자유에 대한 침해가 주요한 문제라고 볼 수 있다. 이에 대한 해결방안으로 설정 수역 범위를 영해 내로 축소하거나 수역 안전 확보라는 공 익적 목적을 근거로 주변국의 인정을 받는 방법을 제시하였다. 또한, 행정기본법에 따른 비례의 원칙에 따라 울산구역과 포항구역을 살펴보 면 입법목적에 부합하지 않고 필요 이상으로 범위를 설정하여 공익 달성 없이 사익이 침해받는 구역이 있다. 이에 대한 해결방안으로 울산구역의 경우 거대 선 및 위험화물 운반선의 통항이 없는 저수심 구역의 제외를 제시하고, 포항구 역의 경우 실제 통항량이 존재하는 영일만 내로 범위를 한정하거나 혹은 유조 선통항금지구역 내로 범위를 한정하는 것을 제시하였다.
