In order to culture a life for the physiological and ecological research of the meiofauna, this study aimed to identify the most ideal condition in which the meiofauna can be cultured within a laboratory by setting various environmental conditions. The sediment deposits and seawater were collected from the intertidal zone in Mallipo of the west coast. A aquarium in which the internal environment can be controlled by constantly maintaining the temperature and humidity was fabricated and the culture experiments of the collected meiofauna were conducted together with the sea water and sediment deposits collected. The experiment 1 was conducted after establishing the similar environment as the collecting location. Under the same condition as the experiment 1, the experiment 2 verified a difference between when live foods were supplied and were not. In the experiment 3, the changes in the meiofauna colony were checked according to with or without light and live foods. In the results of culturing experiments, the habitat density and the number of appeared classification groups of the meiofauna colony were relatively higher both in the water tank with supplying the live foods and under the condition of having light in 12-hour cycle than those in the aquarium without live foods and under no light condition. In addition, the habitat density of meiofauna cultured within a laboratory exhibited relatively higher value than that under the natural state.

Organic pollution due to coastal development increases the distribution of organic pollution indicators (OPI) and disturbs benthic ecosystems by increasing the number of organic pollution indicators dominant in the target area. However, there is a little researches on the organic pollution levels of benthic ecosystems in subtidal target coast of all over Korea. Therefore, this study analyzed the distribution of macrobenthos in subtidal around the coast development sites of EIA, confirmed the distribution of OPI, and produced the benthic health index-map (organic pollution level) of all coasts of Korea. The benthic health index of the sites was calculated using the density of each OPI, and the image program was used for the benthic health index-map. Organic pollution levels varied by projects for EIA and OPI. Lumbrineris sp. was found to be dominant throughout the coast and correlated with the benthic health index in Korea. Through this study, we will be able to confirm the future organic pollution level in the subtidal ecosystems of the project for EIA through the results of research to macrobenthos in subtidal for EIA. In addition, the distribution of Lumbrineris sp. OPI can be used as an indicator to indirectly evaluate the organic pollution level of the development site.

본 연구에서는 대상 하천인 경기도 가평천에 대해 상류역, 중류역, 하류역으로 3개의 조사지점을 선정하여 각각의 수심, 유속, 하상재질 (모래, 자갈, 호박돌 등)의 구성비, DO를 측정하여 저서성 대형무척추동물의 서식처 환경을 조사하였다. 이를 통하여 대상 하천에 서식하는 저서성 대형무척추동물의 하천 유형별 서식 분포를 확인할 수 있었으며, 시기별(2007년 9월, 10월, 2008년 3월, 4월)로 하천의 수리학적 특성을 파악하였다. 저서성 대형무척추동물은 유속과 수심, 하상의 재료 등 하천의 수리학적 특성에 따라 다른 종류의 무리들이 서식하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 헤엄치는 무리는 주로 유속에 의하여 그 서식영역이 결정되었고, 굴파는 무리는 하상재료가 모래나 점토인 곳을 선호하고 하상바닥이나 약간 위쪽에서 서식영역이 결정되었다. 기는 무리는 하상재료가 주로 자갈이나 호박돌인 곳을 선호하고 유속이 $0.05m/s{\sim}0.15m/s$에서 서식하였다. 붙는 무리는 하상재료가 조약돌이나 자갈인 곳을 선호하고 유속이 $0.07m/s{\sim}0.15m/s$에서 서식하였다.

An investigation on the polluted sediments in the Lake Sihwa and the benthos that inhabited on the sediments was conducted. Cost effective remediation alternatives were derived form the results of the investigation. The sediment samples taken from four sampling points out of thirteen showed relatively high heavy metal (particularly copper) concentrations which exceeded the Effects Range Low (ERL) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, USA. The four sampling points were located in front of industrial complexes. Although the heavy metals appeared to have affected the growth of the benthos, the concentration of it did not exceed the criteria of dredging that were developed by Netherlands or the State of Washington, USA. However, contamination by organic matters and sulfur compounds was severe, which exceeded the criteria of dredging that were established in Japan. The sediments taken from the four sampling points which were contaminated with heavy metals showed higher organic matter content in general. The organic matters in the sediments depleted oxygen in summer, which appeared to be fatal to the benthos. A comprehensive analysis on the sediments, benthos, and other environmental impact from the contaminated sediments drew a conclusion that the benthonic environment of the Lake Sihwa needed a stepwise remediation, giving a particular emphasis on the clean up of the sediments upstram of the Lake which could cause odor problems to the nearby residential area.
