동해 남부 연안은 남해, 서해와는 달리 수심이 깊고, 해안선이 단조로우며 외해와 직접 연결되어 있는 관계로 남해, 서해와는 상당히 다른 어류상을 보이는 것으로 알려져 있으나, 아직까지 동해 연안 어류에 관한 연구가 거의 매우 부족한 편이다. 본 연구가 실시된 고리 주변해역은 1978년 고리 원자력발전소 1호기 가동 이후 현재 4호기가 가동되고 있으며 장기간에 걸쳐 배출된 온배수는 주변 해양생태계에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 그러므로 원자력 발전으로 인한 주변 해양생태계 변화에 대한 장기간에 걸친 지속적인 연구가 필요하다고 생각된다.

In the southern sea of Korea and the areas of Tsushima warm currents the relationship between the distributions of eggs and larvae of anchovy (Engraulis japonica) and oceanic conditions was examined on July and August 1997, The south Korean coastal waters, the water temperature of below $20\~23^{\circ}$ and the salinity of above 33.0 (PSU), the mixed waters between the south Korean coastal waters and the Tsushima warm currents, $21\~25^{\circ}$ and $32.0\~32.5$ and the Tsushima warm currents, above $26^{\circ}$ and below 31.5 were distributed at the surface layer. The Tsushima warm currents were distributed at the northeast of Jeju Is. and off the southern sea of Korea. As an appearance of warm streamer, the mixed waters were intruded into the coastal areas of Komun Is.$\~$Sori Is. and Sori Is.$\~$Yokji Is.. Approximate paths of surface water by the drift card experiments were similar with the intrusions of the warm water identified from the water temperature and salinity distributions. The distributions of chlorophyll concentration were consistent with the distributions of water temperature and salinity, Anchovy eggs and larvae were mostly distributed at Komun Is., Yokji Is, and the southwest of Koie Is. where chlorophyll concentrations were high and cyclonic circulations by the warm water intrusions (warm streamers) were formed.

한국 남해는 대부분 100m 이천의 대륙붕으로 되어 있고, 쓰시마 난류수, 황해 난류수, 한국 남해안 연안수 및 황해 저층 냉수 등이 분포한다. 이러한 수괴들 사이에는 뚜렷한 전선이 형성되고 있다(조와 박, 1990). 해양에서 성층은 여름철에 태양복사로 인한 부력의 공급과 담수의 유입으로 형성된다.(중략)

The natural disasters such as typhoon, earthquake, flood, heavy rain, drought, sweltering heat, wind wave, tsunami and so on, are difficult to estimate the scale of damage and spot. Also, these disasters were being damaged to human life. However, if based on the disaster statistics the past damage cases are analyzed and the estimated damages can be calculated, the initial damage action can be taken immediately and based on the estimated damage scale the damage can be mitigated. In the present study, therefore, we proposed the functions of wind wave damage estimation for the southern coast. The functions are developed based on Disaster Report('91~'14) for wind wave and typhoon disaster statistics, regional characteristics and observed sea weather.

In order to illustrate the effects of water temperature inversion on the stratification variation in the South Sea of Korea, water temperature, salinity, and density measured in October and December 1999 by National Fisheries Research and Development Institute were reviewed. In October and December of 1999, temperature inversion occurred mainly between 25m and 75m, and in particular in depth of water, in December temperature inversion layer also was formed in the surface layer. In case of October and December, the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC), warm and saline water, was one of motors, and in December, influence of surface cold water was added Although northerly wind prevails in October and December, in October, expanding of the South Korean Coastal Waters (SKCW) towards offshore is not clear, but in December when wind speed is relatively greater than that in October and strength of the TWC become weak, the SKCW spreads towards offshore through the upper layer. Stratification variation was higher along the area where temperature inversion occurred.

Physiochemical characters of sea waters during summer flood- and winter dry-seasons and their spatial variations were investigated along the coastal area off the eastern South Sea, Korea. Using the hierarchical clustering method, in this study, we present comprehensive analyses of coastal waters masses and their seasonal variations. The results revealed that the coastal water of the study area was classified into six water masses (A to F). During summer season, the surface water was mainly occupied by the coastal pseudo-estuarine water (water mass B) with low salinity and high nutrients and the river-dominated coastal water (water mass C) with low nutrients, respectively. The bottom water was dominated by cold water (water mass D) with very low temperature, high salinity and high nutrients, compared to masses of surface water. Notably, the water mass B, with high concentrations of nutrients (silicate and nitrogen) and low salinity, which is strongly controlled by the water quality of river freshwater, seems to play an important role in controlling the water quality and further regulating physical processes on ecosystem in the eastern coastal area of South Sea. The water mass D (bottom cold water) coupled with a strong thermocline, which exists in near-bottom layer along the western margin of Korea Strait, has a low temperature, pH and DO, but abundant nutrients. This water mass disappears in winter owing to strong vertical mixing, and subsequently may act as a pool for nutrients during winter dry-season. On the other hand, vertically well-mixed water column during the winter season was typically occupied by the Tsushima (water mass E) and the coastal water (water mass F) with a development of coastal front formed in a transition zone between them. These winter water masses were characterized by low nutrient concentration and balance in N/P ratio, compared with summer season with high nutrient concentrations and strong N-limitation. Accordingly, the analysis of water masses will help one to better chemical and biological processes in coastal area. In most of the study area, characteristically, the growth of phytoplankton community is limited by nitrogen, which is clearly different with coastal environment of West Sea of Korea, with a relative lack of phosphorus. It showed the western and the southern coasts in Korea are substantially different from each other in environmental and ecological characteristics.

황해의 남동부에 위치한 한국 남서 연안해역은 남해와 인접한 해역으로 황해저층냉수, 황해난류수, 연안수, 양자강 희석수가 영향을 미치고 있으며, 이들 수계간에 형성되는 수온전선역은 좋은 어장을 형성한다. 또한 이 해역은 주요 수산자원의 어장 및 회유환경 그리고 해조류양식 등과 관련하여 해양학적ㆍ수산학적으로 매우 중요한 해역이다. 조석전선이 해양의 1차 생산자인 식물플랑크톤의 분포 및 성장에 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 밝혀지고 있다(Bowman and Esaias, 1977). (중략)

우리나라 남해 서부 해역에 위치한 진도군 해역은 동부는 남해, 남부는 제주해협과 인접한 다도해로서 그 수심은 50m내의로 말은 천해역을 이루고 있다. 이 해역은 황해저층냉수, 황해난류수, 한국 남ㆍ서 연안수, 양자강 희석수 등 계절에 따라 이들 수계의 영향을 받고 있어 이들 수계간에 형성되는 조경역의 변동이 어장 형성에 영향을 미치는 한편, 부어류의 호어장을 형성한다(Gong and Cho, 1972). 또한 년도별 계절별 해황의 변동과 황해저층냉수의 소장에 따라 갈치, 삼치, 병어 등 주요 수산자원의 풍흉에 영향을 미치는 해양 환경적 특성을 지니고 있다.

The value of beauty and the resources in the southern coastal sea is most important not only ecologically but also economically in Korea. Since 1980s, intensive use and consequent coastal water pollution have caused an increase in the frequency of red tides outbreak in this area. In this study, seawater and sediment were collected in summer and winter of 1998 and 1999, respectively. The status of seawater eutrophication, sediment oxygen demand(SOD), and nutrients release from sediment were measured. There was an obvious trend that COD and total phosphorous concentrations of summer sediments obtained from aquaculture farms were higher than those of winter sediments. It was concluded that sediments accumulated in the shellfish farms of southern coastal sea caused oxygen deficit in the bottom layer of seawater and played an important role for eutrophication.

In order to identify the species composition and distribution pattern of larval fish assemblages in the southern coastal waters of Korea, monthly samples were taken using an RN80 net which was towed horizontally in three different regions (Yeosu, Namhae and Tongyoung) between May to September 2016. A total of fifty taxa were collected during the study. Among these, Engraulis japonicus, which accounted for 56.8 % of the total population, was the most dominant species, followed by Sillago japonicus, Parablennius yatabei, Gobiidae Type A, Parablennidae sp., and Omobranchus elegans as dominant taxa, that accounted for 87.5% of the total number of individuals. ANOSIM results revealed that regional groups were not separated, but seasonal groups were clearly divided with statistical significance, and these differences were caused mainly by water temperature variations identified by canonical analysis.
