To investigate the relationship between total length and fecundity of Pacific cod Gadus macrocephalus in Jinhae Bay, 45 individuals were sampled during the spawning period from Dec 2008 to Feb 2009. Fecundity ranged from 560,000 to 5,200,000 eggs for fish ranging from 64.0 cm to 74.0 cm in total length. The relationship between total length (TL) and fecundity (F) was F=103,273TL-5,124,302 and fecundity in Pacific cod from this study was correlated with total length. Average fecundity decreased from 2,620,000 eggs in early-spawning period to 1,650,000 eggs in late-spawning period. The wide range of relative fecundity at the same body size indicates that the timing of the spawning migration of Pacific cod in Jinhae Bay could be related to fecundity.

Water temperature, salinity, and DO concentration were measured vertically in the Chinhae-Masan Bay over the course of 1 year. The characteristics of the stratification were analysed using the measured water temperature and salinity data. The vertical DO concentration changes were also analysed through consideration of the degree of stratification and the level of sediment pollution. The results of the analyses show that the thermal stratification appears just before April and disappears after October. The salinity differences between the surface and the bottom were 3.9(equation omitted), 9.3 (equation omitted), 4.3(equation omitted) in April, August, and October, respectively. The DO concentration change averaged over water depth was 2.6(mg/L) in April; 8.3(mg/L) in June: 5.9(mg/L) in August; 7.2(mg/L) in September; and 4.4(mg/L) in October. The DO concentration changes were closely related to the levels of contamination and also to the effect of the mass-transfer inhibition between the surface and bottom layers due to the thermal and density stratification.

Heavy metal concentrations in surface sediments, seawater and oysters (Crassostrea gigas) were determined to assess heavy metal contamination in the Jinhae Bay. The ranges of cadmium, cobalt, copper, nickel, lead and zinc concentration in surface sediments were 0.1∼2.4, 12.6∼14.4, 25.3∼ 92.3, 32.4∼ 93.5, 24. 1∼81.2, 124∼477 ㎍/g, respectively. The concentrations of cadmium, copper, lead and zinc which were influenced by industrial activity were the highest in the inside of Masan Bay. Dissolved concentrations of cadmium, cobalt, copper, nickel, lead and zinc in seawater were <0.010∼0.043, 0.008∼0.120, 0.31∼0.90, 0.25∼3.10, 0.010∼0.142, 0.27∼9.04 ㎍/L, respectively. The concentrations of cadmium, cobalt, copper, nickel, lead and zinc in seawater were also the highest inside of Masan Bay, suggesting that Masan Bay is the major source of heavy metal input to the Jinhae Bay. Bioconcentration factors (BCF) of zinc, copper, cadmium, lead, cobalt and nickel in C. gigas were 647373, 280861, 145069, 44559, 13524, 2745, respectively, showing C gigas is a stronger accumulator than other bivalves.

Genus Prorocentrum of dinoflagellate has been known as representative causative algae of red tide in Masan-Jinhae Bay. Prorocentrum populations- P. dentatum Stein, p. micans Ehrenberg, P. minimum (Pavillard) Schiller and P. triestinum Schiller- were monitored from January 1990 to August 1997, Prorocentrum populations usually have bloomed during the water stratification periods from June to August. Water temperature ranged from 24$^{\circ}C$ to 28$^{\circ}C$ and salinity from 24$\textperthousand$ to 34$\textperthousand$ during the Prorocentrum blooms. Bloom magnitude of Prorooentrum populations gradually increased from offshore to inshore area of coastal embayment and this populations tended to concentrate from surface to 2.5m depth. Prorocentrum algal blooms have become more frequent and intense than those of 1980s and early 1990s. P. minimum was the most persistent species in terms of bloom frequency and cellular abundance.

In order to assess the effect of pollution on marine ecosystem, we examined the plankton health assessment at 16 stations during summer season in Jinhae Bay. The organic and inorganic pollutant sources (dissolved organic carbon; DOC, chemical oxygen demand; COD and Chlorophyll a; Chl.a), including planktonic orangism such as enterobacteria Escherichia coli, heterotrophic bacteria (HB), autotrophic nano-flagellates (ANF), heterotrophic nano flagellates (HNF), ciliate and harmful algal bloom species (HABs) were used to characterize marine ecosystem health assessment. Of these, we tentatively selected those items Chl.a, HABs, HB and E. coli for plankton health index (PHI). Also, the scoring criteria for each metric were based on a statistical analysis and then, the grades are rated on four levels. As a result, the ecological assessment of these data reveals that PHI in Jinhae Bay is rated as "Good or fair" for overall conditions. The present study suggests that the PHI might be considered as one of important management tool to assess marine ecosystem health of Jinhae Bay.
