All four traits differed significantly between regions, and FA was consistently higher in Jinhae than in Jumunjin. Among traits, asymmetry was greatest for otolith area and lowest for otolith length. In the size-dependent analysis, FA peaked in the 16–18 cm fork-length classes in both regions, but declined more markedly in Jumunjin, whereas values in Jinhae remained relatively elevated. Beta-regression models further showed that the relationship between body size and FA differed between regions only for otolith width. Environmental analyses indicated that temperature and salinity were not significantly related to otolith FA, whereas pH, dissolved oxygen, chemical oxygen demand, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus showed trait-specific associations, many of them nonlinear. Overall, otolith FA in <em>K. punctatus</em> appears to reflect the combined influences of otolith trait properties, body size, regional context, and local water chemistry.

Using a multidimensional characterization of 10 active farms, the research employs a hybrid SWOT-AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) model to quantify internal strengths and weaknesses against external opportunities and threats. Results reveal a significant strategic imbalance, with Threats (0.60) and Weaknesses (0.21) dominating the sector's landscape. The most critical bottleneck identified is the lack of a structured market (20% global priority), followed by a high dependency on imported fry and feed. While the sector benefits from a highly educated workforce and favorable oceanographic conditions, these strengths are neutralized by high production costs and climate-related mortality risks. The study concludes that transitioning to a robust industrial sector requires urgent localization of the supply chain—specifically hatcheries and feed mills—and the establishment of professional associations to organize marketing circuits.

Surface seawater samples were collected in Gyeonggi Bay, including the Han River estuary and Shihwa Lake (SH), during spring (41 stations) and summer (27 stations). Dissolved metal concentrations were generally higher in the inner bay areas influenced by riverine and coastal inputs and decreased seaward across Gyeonggi Bay, whereas salinity generally increased toward the offshore region. In both seasons, the levels of most metals, including nickel, were highest in SH. The Ni/Cu ratio was also elevated in SH and the ISMA, indicating distinct Ni-enriched signatures in these areas. Anthropogenic Gd (Gd<sub>anth</sub>) showed clear enrichment in the Ganghwa region across both seasons. The Ni/Cu ratio and the anthropogenic gadolinium level (Gd<sub>anth</sub>) showed approximately conservative behavior and exhibited markedly different values among the sources, supporting their use as effective tracers of contamination sources. Three end-members (possible contamination sources) were defined: inner SH (E<sub>SH</sub>), the Ganghwa waterway (the modified Han River signal; E<sub>GH</sub>), and the background seawater in Gyeonggi Bay (E<sub>Gout</sub>).

Contrary to this aim, our monitoring results indicate that the timing of mass spawning was largely synchronized across sites.

Pre-monsoon (PM) waters showed higher salinity, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids, turbidity, and suspended solids, while monsoon conditions increased dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll a (Chl a), and dissolved nutrients, particularly nitrate, nitrite, ammonium, and silicate.

Notably, the Dongying (DY) population from a warmer microclimate exhibited lower heat tolerance than the colder Panjin (PJ) population, which correlated with the high frequency of the thermosensitive AmixB genotype in DY. Specific SNPs that are associated with cardiac functional traits can influence codon usage bias and protein structural stability. Environmental temperature directly drove differentiation in the genotype frequencies of candidate genes.
