생선 횟집의 활어용 수조수에 대한 위생 대책 수립의 일환으로 자외선을 이용한 제균 효과를 검토하였다. 1. 물 두께 10mm(유수량; 730ml/sec, 등; 5조, 통과 시간; 2.4초)와 자외선 조사량 75W의 조건에서 자외선등 통과 직후의 해수에서의 생균수 감소율은 평균 85.0%였다. 2. 장염 비브리오균의 경우, 자외선 조사 후 1시간만에 3 log cycle 감소하였으며, 그 이후 큰 변화가 없었다. 3. 한편 쥐치에 같은 조건으로 72시간 처리했을 때 내장 세균의 감소는 거의 없었으나, 돌돔 및 쥐치의 표피와 아가미에서의 생균수 감소율은 약 2 log cycle이었다. 4. 패류의 여수율을 좋게 하기 위하여 수조수의 온도를 20~23℃로 조절한 수조에서 홍합과 굴을 같은 조건으로 처리했을 때 24시간 후에 생균수의 감소율은 홍합과 굴에서 각각 2 log cycle 정도였으며, 분변계 대장균의 경우는 각각 3 log cycle, 1.5 log cycle정도 감소하였다.

The purpose of this study is to develop a sanitary aquarium for the safety slices of raw fish by using U.V. light. Water re-circulating system was composed of two tanks. One of the tanks (90×45×45cm in size) was used for rearing fish and the other (90×45×45cm in size) with 37 pieces of corrugated plastic plates was used for the growth of Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter to remove ammonia from the water. Consequently, bactericidal effects of U.V. light were examined under the controlled condition of water with flow rate 730ml/sec (water flow thickness: 10mm), the width 41cm of water flow route, and the distance 4.75 cm from the lamp to its water bottom, and U.V. light 75W (5 lamps). The water of the aquarium tank will be theoretically circulated 1 cycle per 18 min. In these conditions the bactericidal effect was 85 % just after passing through U.V. light and 3 log cycle in aquarium tank water. The count of Vibrio parahaemolyticus just after irradiation was decreased by about over than 3 log cycle. Under the irradiation for 72 hours, viable cell counts in both skin and gill of fish reared were decreased into about 2 log cycle, but there was no significant decrease in viscera. When the temperature of the tank was controlled at about 20~23℃ under the same condition, viable cell counts were reduced about 2 log cycle, and fecal coliforms were reduced about 1 log cycle and 3 log cycle in Crassostrea gigas and Mytilus edulis, respectively.
