유기유기물 증가원인의 파악과 근본적인 대책에 대한 연구의 일환으로 부영양화된 연안해역에 대하여 태풍 발생 전후의 수질변동에 대하여 조사하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 용존산소 포화도는 수온과 염분 약층이 형성된 시기에 저층에서 54% 이하로 관측되었다. 태풍이 지나간 직후에는 표층과 저층에서 거의 비슷한 용존산소 포화도$(78{\sim}88%)$가 조사되었다. 그리고, 태풍이 지나간 3일 후 식물플랑크톤이 대량으로 증식한 표층에서 용존산소 포화도가 234%로 아주 높은 값이 관측되었고, 저층(5m)에서도 90%가 조사되어, 태풍과 식물플랑크톤의 이상 증식이 저층의 용존산소 포화도를 높이는 작용을 한 것으로 보인다. 2) 염분이 가장 낮았던 시기에 표층에서 $NA_4-N$, $NO_3-N$, $SiO_2-Si$의 농도가 각각 18.22, 38.90, 52.10uM로 아주 높게 조사되었으며, $NH4-N$, $PO_4-P$, $SiO_2-Si$는 용존산소가 낮은 저층에서도 높게 나타났다. 3) 클로로필은 최고 $311.0{\mu}g/L$가 태풍 후에 관측되었으며, 그 원인 생물은 Scrippsiella trochoidea (42,000cells/mL)였다. 조류성장잠재능력은 태풍발생 후에 아주 높게 조사되었으며, 항상 질소가 부족한 것으로 조사되었다. 4) 화학적 산소요구량은 최고 10.55 mg/L였으며, 태풍으로 저층 퇴적물로부터 부유되는 유기 오탁 물질이 화학적 산소요구량 증가에 미치는 기여도는 크지 않은 것으로 보이며, 화학적 산소요구량 증가의 대부분이 식물플랑크톤의 증식에 기인한 것($r^2=0.612$, p<0.0001)으로 조사되었다.

The growth and removal capacity of nitrogen and phosphorus of Chlorella vulgaris were evaluated in artificial wastewater with different nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations as element growing components for microalgae growth. The nitrogen concentration was varied in 9, 15, 30 and 60 mg-N/L with fixed phosphorus concentration of 3 mg-P/L. The growth and phosphorus removal capacity of C. vulgaris were high at initial nitrogen concentration of 15 and 30 mg-N/L, and the corresponding N/P ratios calculated were 5 and 10. In the case of varying in 1.5, 3, 6 and 10 mg-P/L of phosphorus concentration with fixed nitrogen concentration of 30 mg-N/L, the growth and removal capacity of nitrogen and phosphorus were excellent with phosphorus concentration of 3 and 6 mg-P/L. The corresponding N/P ratios were shown as 10 and 5. Therefore, the appropriate N/P ratio was concluded between 5 and 10 for wastewater treatment using C. vulgaris.

1981년 하계중 진해만에서는 3차에 걸친 대규모의 적조가 있었다. 이들 적조는 그 규모나 원인종, 농도, 머문기간에 있어 남해안궤서 그 유예가 없었던 악성적조었다. 그로 인한 수산물 피해액만도 약 17억3천4백만으로 추정되었다. 1차 적조는 7월 18, 19일부터 시작되어 7월말까지 계속되었으며, 2차는 8월중순에 그리고 3차는 9월초순에 있었다. 주 원인종은 와편모조의 일종인 Gymnodinium sp.로서 외부형태로 보아 1963년 일본 대촌만에서 있었던 적조의 원인종인 Gymnodinium 65년도형과 유사하였으나 확인할 수는 없었다. 적조시의 수색은 암갈색이었고 세포양은 주로 표면에서 수심 악 2m층까지 농밀하여 심한 경우 투명도는 0.1 m이었다. 최고세포수는 약 20만cells/ml 이었고 이때 클로로필-a양은 약 $1,000mg/m^3$ 이었다. 용존산소양은 $2\sim3ml/1$인 경우가 많았고 최하 1ml/l이 발견되었다. 1차 적조 후기핀 양식굴 및 흥합의 폐사가 나타났고 2차 적조가 사라진8월 16, 17일에는 게. 고동. 새우유 등과 양태류, 볼락, 까나리 등의 사체가 조류에 밀려 해안에서 발견되었다. 금번 적조의 특징은 원인종이 악성인 Gymnodinium sp. 이고 내년에도 재발할 수 있는 가능성이 있다는 점이다. 발생원인은 일본 대촌만 적조의 경우처럼 다우후 고온의 지속과 저이중 다양의 유화물이 주요인자라 추측된다.

The quality and quantity of food organisms in fish seed production are important. The marine microalgae Nannochloropsis oculata are used as initial food organisms in the field. We investigated the effects of salinity (0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 psu) on the lipid and fatty acid composition of N. oculata. Cultivation of N. oculata at varying salinities showed the highest growth rate at 20 psu. Total lipid content ranged from 17.26 to 18.63% at salinities from 0 to 50 psu). The nonpolar lipid content increased markedly at 30 psu and was highest at 15.55%. The polar lipid content was lowest at 30 psu, by 84.45%. It was also found that the omega-3 and EPA contents were inversely proportional to salt concentration. For the polar and nonpolar lipid compositions, there was no significant effect of salinity. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid content especially the content of EPA in the seawater larvae is the essential fatty acid in this food organism. It is thus advantageous to culture N. oculata at 20 psu.

하천의 횡단구조물은 하천을 횡단하는 시설물로 하상유지공, 보 등이 있으며 현재 국내 하천에는 수많은 보가 존재한다. 하천에 설치된 보는 하천 유황을 변화시키기 때문에 보 상 하류로부터 상당히 멀리 떨어져 있는 하도 구간에 대해서도 수환경을 변화 시키게 된다. 이로 인하여 하천을 터전으로 생활하는 다양한 생물의 서식처를 손상시키며, 어류와 야생 생물 각 개체의 생활상을 흔들어버린다. 이에 본 연구에서는 금강을 대상으로 횡단구조물 중 보 설치 이전과 이후의 수질의 변화에 따라 생태환경의 변화특성을 분석하였다. 연구대상지인 금강의 수질자료는 보 설치 이전 6년간(2003년 ~ 2008년)과 보 설치 이후 7년간(2011년 ~ 2017년)의 자료를 조사하였고 수생태환경의 변화를 분석하기 위한 부착조류, 저서성 무척추동물, 어류를 9년간(2008년 ~ 2016년) 조사하였다. 금강에 보가 설치된 이후 본류 전체적으로 BOD와 SS, T-N 등의 농도가 낮아지는 등 개선된 것으로 나타났지만 COD는 개선효과가 전혀 없었고, 보지점에서는 수온증가는 미미하지만 Chl-a가 계속적으로 증가하여 최근까지 금강에 녹조발생을 일으키고 있다고 판단된다. 금강본류 전체적으로 저서성무척추동물과 어류의 개체수가 감소하는 추세이며 수생태 건강성분석 결과 다른생물종에 비해 어류의 건강성등급이 하향하는 추세로 악화되고 있음을 확인하였다. 이는 Chl-a와 COD의 증가로 판단되며 최근들어 BOD도 증가하고 있어 앞으로 어류건강성이 저하가 우려되기 때문에 하천의 유속증가나 수문개방을 통해 건강성을 회복할 필요가 있다고 판단된다.

하천 합류부에 있어 수체의 혼합양상 분석은 고해상도의 자료가 필요하다. 하지만 최근 공간적 분포를 해석함에 있어 3D 기법들을 많이 활용되고 있다. IDW, Natural Neighbor, Kriging기법등 다양한 기법들이 많이 적용되고 있고 그에 따라 각 보간법을 비교 분석하여 공간해석에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 관련 논문을 검토한 결과, 측정 결과에 따른 2차원 횡단면 분포의 내용이 지배적이었고, 3차원 매핑 및 3차원 분석을 통한 수리학적 정보 획득에 관한 연구는 부족한 실정이였다. 특히 3차원 하천 수질 농도의 연구가 불충분했다. 그에 따라 저해상도 측정결과에서의 예측과 보간법에 대한 시각화를 통해 하천의 전체적인 수리·수질정보를 표기하였다. 각각의 보간법을 비교함으로써 하천매핑에 있어 Kriging 기법을 적용하여 시각화된 자료와 정량적 평가를 통해 하천매핑의 정밀성을 향상시켰다. 하천합류부를 공간 분석할 시에 하천의 측정데이터에 대한 신뢰도를 바탕으로 계측경로에 따라 보간한 결과에 대한 신뢰도 분석을 실시하였다. 분석된 3차원자료를 이용하여 하천의 혼합거리에 대한 분석을 실시하였고 그에 따른 수표면과 연직방향까지 고려된 혼합거리분석을 비교하였다. 3차원 데이터를 활용하는 방법으로 측정 및 모니터링 기술의 중요한 데이터로 활용되며, 이러한 데이터는 유해물질 저감 기술 및 평가 예측 기술의 기초 데이터로 활용되고 있다. 유해화학물질 추정, 호수의 고위험 조류군 계층분석 등 다양한 수생건강 진단기술을 활용할 수 있다.

A systematic water quality survey was conducted in August, 2005 for a drinking water supply reservoir (the Jeolgol reseuoir located in an island), which is at an early stage of impoundment, to investigate the causes of water color deterioration of the reservoir and the clogging of filter beds of a water treatment plant. The reservoir shape was simple and its average depth was 5.5 m, increasing from upreservoir toward the downreservoir end near the dam. Dissolved oxygen (DO) and chloropllyll-a (chi-a) showed a large variation while water temperature had a smaller range. Transparency ranged from 0.6 to 0.9 m (average 0.7 m). The average value of turbidity was 9.3 NTU, ranging from 8.0 ${\sim}$ 12.1 NTU. The transparency and the turbidity appear to be affected by a combination of biological and non-biological factors. The poor transparency was explained by an increase of inorganic colloids and algal bloom in the reservoir. The blockage of the filter bed was attributed to the oversupply of phytoplanktons from the reservoir. The range and the average concentration of chi-a within the reservoir were 31.6 ${\sim}$ 258.9 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$, 123.6 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$ for the upper layer, and 17.0 ${\sim}$ 37.4 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$, 26.5 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$ for the bottom layer, respectively. A predominant species contributing the algal bloom was Dinophyceae, Peridinium bipes f. occultatum. The distribution of Peridinium spp. was correlated with chi-a concentrations. The standing crop of phytoplankton was highest in the upreservoir with $8.5\;{\times}\;103\;cells\;mL^{-1}$ and it decreased toward the downresevoir. Synedra of Bacillariophyceae and Microcystis aeruginosa of Cyanophyceae appeared to contribute to the algal bloom, although they are not dominated. It is mostly likely that sloped farmlands located in the watershed of the reservoir caused water quality problems because they may contain a significant amount of the nutrients originated from fertilizers. In addition, the aerators installed in the reservoir and a shortage of the inflowing water may be related to the poor water quality. A long-term monitoring and an integrated management plan for the water quality of the watersheds and the reservoir may be required to improve the water quality of the reservoir.

In order to see the seasonal variation of nutrients and the limiting factors to the primary production in Deukryang Bay, both dissolved inorganic nutrients and salinity were measured in the surface waters during the periods from July 1992 to March 1993. The mean value of salinity was the lowest in ?all and the highest in early spring. Dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) was the highest in winter and the lowest in summer. However, both phosphate and silicate were the highest in summer and the lowest in fall. Salinity was generally higher in the outer region than in the inner region of the bay.DIN content was nearly depleted (less than $2{\mu}M$) in summer. From fall to spring, DIN content was nearly depleted in the inner region and relatively high in the outer region of the Day. Phosphate was the highest in summer showing an opposite distribution pattern to salinity, and it was nearly depleted (less than $0.1{\mu}M$) in fall and winter. In spring, however, phosphate content was slightly high in the outer region. Silicate content showed an opposite distribution pattern to salinity in summer. in other seasons, However, the distribution pattern of silicate was similar to the salinity. DIN seemed to be a limiting factor for the primary production at all area of the bay in summer and at the inner region in other season. However, phosphate seemed to be a limiting factor at all area of the bay in fall and winter and at the inner region in spring. Silicate may limit the production of diatoms at the inner region of the bay in winter and spying. Both phosphate and silicate showed a good inverse relationship with salinity in summer, which indicates inputs of these nutrients from the freshwater runoff. In the other seasons, both nitrate and silicate showed a positive linear relationship with salinity in the outer region of the bay, suggesting that these two nutrients were mainly supplied by the inflow of the offshore costal water which had high nitrate content associated with vertical mixing.

As part of an on-going project investigating flux of materials in the Keum River Estuary, we have monitored seasonal variations of nutrients, suspended particulate matter (SPM), chlorophyll, and salinity since 1997. Meteorological data and freshwater discharge from the Keum River Dike were also used, Our goal was to answers for (1) what is the main factor for the seasonal fluctuation of nutrients in the Keum River Estuary? and (2) are there any differences in nutrient distributions before and after the Keum River Dike construction? Nitrate concentrations in the Keum River water were kept constant through the year. Whereas other nutrients varied with evident seasonality: high phosphate and ammonium concentrations during the dry season and enhanced silicate contents during the rainy season. SPM was found similar trend with silicate. During the rainy season, the freshwater discharged from the Keum River Dike seemed to dilute the phosphate and ammonium, but to elevate SPM concentration in the Keum Estuary. In addition, the corresponding variations of SPM contents in the estuarine water affected the seasonal fluctuations of nutrients in the Estuary. The most important source of the nutrients in the estuarine water is the fluvial water. Therefore, the distribution patterns of nutrients in the Estuary are conservative against salinity. Nitrate, nitrite and silicate are conservative through the year. The distribution of phosphate and ammonium on the other hand, display two distinct seasonal patterns: conservative behavior during the dry season and some additive processes during the rainy days. Mass destruction of freshwater phytoplankton in the riverine water is believed to be a major additive source of phosphate in the upper Estuary. Desorption processes of phosphate and ammonium from SPM and organic matter probably contribute extra source of addition. Benthic flux of phosphate and ammonium from the sediment into overlying estuarine water can not be excluded as another source. After the Keum River Dike construction, the concentrations of SPM decreased markedly and their role in controlling of nutrient concentrations in the Estuary has probably diminished. We found low salinity (5~15 psu) within 1 km away from the Dike during the dry season. Therefore we conclude that the only limited area of inner estuary function as a real estuary and the rest part rather be like a bay during the dry season. However, during the rainy season, the entire estuary as the mixing place of freshwater and seawater. Compared to the environmental conditions of the Estuary before the Dike construction, tidal current velocity and turbidity are decreased, but nutrient concentrations and chance of massive algal bloom such as red tide outbreak markedly increased.

Based on the results of harmful algal blooms (HABs) monitoring by the National Institute of Fisheries Science and local governments, the effects of changes in the marine environment on HABs are described. Since the beginning of HABs monitoring in 1972, they continued to increase from the 1980s to the 1990s. After the largest number of HAB incidents (109) in 1998; the trend declined until the 2010s. Most HABs in the 1970s were caused by diatoms. In the 1980s, coastal dinoflagellates caused HABs; Cochlodinium polykrikoides blooms have been occurring continuously since 1993. There are three HAB species that cause damage to fisheries in Korea. The high-density bloom of Karenia mikimotoi caused mass mortality in shellfish in Jinhae Bay in 1981. Karenia sp. blooms occurring around Tongyeong in 1992 killed aquaculture fish. Since the occurrence of the largest fisheries damage of KRW 76.6 billion in 1995 caused by C. polykrikoides blooms, they have been occurring continuously. The concentration of nutrients in coastal waters was the highest in the 1980s and has declined since the mid-1990s. This reduction in nutrient concentration is a good explanation for the decreasing number of HABs. Since 2016, a summer high water temperature of 30℃ or more has appeared, and the range and scale of C. polykrikoides blooms have been greatly reduced. In 2016, K. mikimotoi blooms occurred around Wando, Jangheung and Goheung and small scale blooms of C. polykrikoides occurred around Yeosu. There were no C. polykrikoides blooms in 2017; however, Alexandrium affine blooms occurred from Yeosu to Tongyeong. There was a small-scale blooms of C. polykrikoides in 2018 compared to those in the previous years. Our results show that reduction in nutrients and the high water temperature owing to climate change are a good explanation for variation in HABs in Korean coastal waters.
