In order to clarify the structure and seasonal dynamics of warm tolerant benthic marine algal community in Korea, the species composition and biomass of marine algae at the discharge canal of Uljin nuclear power plant on the East Coast of Korea were investigated seasonally from February 1992 to October 2000. 107 species of marine algae were found at the discharge canal during the past nine years. In general, the number of species observed was abundant in spring or summer and less in autumn or winter. 27 species (4 blue-green, 5 green, 6 brown and 12 red algae) of marine algae occurred more than 1/ 6 frequency and thus can be categorized as warm tolerant species. Among these, one brown (Dictyota dichotoma) and four red algae (Gelidium amansii, Anphiroa ephedraea, Hydrolithon sargassi, Marginisporum crassissimum) are recorded as warm tolerant marine algae for the first time in Korea. Padina arborescens, Anphiroa zonata and Corallina pilulifera were common species found more than 75% frequency. Seasonal fluctuations of mean biomass were 0-1,330 g dry wt m^(-2) and dominant species in biomass were Corallina pilulifera (contribution to a total biomass proportion 34%), Anphiroa zonata (23%), Padina arborescens (18%) and Sargassum micracanthum (11%). The red algae appeared as predominant algal group at the discharge canal of Uljin nuclear power plant in the qualitative and quantitative aspects. The green algae such as Enterornorpha compressa appeared rather frequently at the discharge canal, but the biomass proportion was very low, in contrast to Kori nuclear power plant where there was definite green algal dominance. Differences in algal communities developed at the discharge canals of Uljin and Kori nuclear power plant on the East Coast of Korea, particularly biomass proportions of green algae, can probably be related to local environmental factors such as water velocity through the canal and natural seawater temperatures.

Effects of various concentrations of copper on growth change of blue-greenalgae Anabaena flos-aquae were studied. There was significant differences among cultures treated with various concentrations of copper in growth of algae with parameters of cell numbers, specific growth rate (SGR) and chlorophyll contents. Algal growth and SGR were inhibited on by effect of various concentrations of copper more than without copper (ANOVA, F=34.69 p<0.001, F=114.89, p<0.001). The SGRs of various concentrations of copper in media were higher than without copper on 8 days after copper treated. The mean of chlorophyll contents was 1.978 ${\mu}g{\cdot}mL^{-1}$ and 1.648 ${\mu}g{\cdot}mL^{-1}$, respectively, while those of algae in culture without copper was 3.179 ${\mu}g{\cdot}mL^{-1}$ (ANOVA, F=153.74, p<0.001). The cellular morphology was different between media of which copper treated and without copper. The colony of algae in media which copper treated was shorter than without copper. Effects of various concentrations of copper on growth change of blue-green-algae Anabaena flos-aquae occured variety changes of parameters of cell numbers, specific growth rate (SGR), chlorophyll contents and cellular morphology on growth of algae.

Algal overgrowth in shrimp culture ponds can affect the quality of the aquatic environment, thereby adversely affecting the shrimp and causing economic losses. The objective of this study was to evaluate the variation in phytoplankton composition in intensive shrimp ponds in Bac Lieu province, Vietnam. Phytoplankton samples were collected in three black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) ponds and three whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) ponds. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS and canonical correlation analysis softwares. In total, 75 species of phytoplankton were recorded in black tiger shrimp ponds and 64 species in whiteleg shrimp ponds. Diatoms had the highest species diversity with 29-30 species (39%-47%), followed by green algae with 9-19 species (14%-25%); species numbers of other phyla varied from 5-12 (8%-16%). The total number of phytoplankton species throughout the study varied from 34-50 species. Algal density was relatively high and ranged from 497,091-2,229,500 ind./L and 1,301,134-2,237,758 ind./L in black tiger shrimp and whiteleg shrimp ponds, respectively. The diatom density tended to increase during the final stage of the production cycle in black tiger shrimp ponds. Blue-green algae and dinoflagellates also increased in abundance at the end of the cycle, which can affect shrimp growth. Diatoms were significantly positively correlated with pH, salinity, total ammonia nitrogen, and nitrate (NO₃^-) concentrations (p < 0.05). Blue-green algae and dinoflagellates were positively correlated with salinity, phosphate (PO₄^3-), and NO₃^-. Algal species diversity was lower in the whiteleg shrimp ponds than in the black tiger shrimp ponds. Several dominant algal genera were recorded in the shrimp ponds, including Nannochloropsis, Gyrosigma, Chaetoceros, Alexandrium, and Microcystis. The results of this study provide basic data for further investigations, and they contribute to the management of algae in brackish-water shrimp ponds.

The aquatic fern Azolla spp. is of value as a bio-fertilizer for wetland paddy. It is popular and cultivated widely in other countries like China, Vietnam, and the Philippines, but has yet to be taken up in Korea, in a big way. It fixes nitrogen as high as 3-5kg N per day, because it contains nitrogen fixing blue-green algae, Anabaena azollae. Azolla's ability to create a light-proof mat that suppresses other weeds has been used for centuries in rice production. Azolla spp. has also the capacity to take up the heavy metals such as Mercury and Chromium (75${\sim}$100%) and may be used as a bioaccumulator in the phytoremediation. Azolla meal also can be used as an unconventional feed resource has a potential as a feedstuff for livestock.

조류는 수생태계에서 소비자의 에너지를 공급하여 생태계 내 없어서는 안 될 1차 생산자로서 크게 녹조류, 남조류, 규조류로 나뉘어진다. 남조류의 경우 수온이 상승하여 여름철 발생하여 과대 증식하여 녹조현상의 주원인이 되며, 최근 기후 변화로 인해 녹조현상의 발생시기의 변화와 빈도수가 늘고 있는 추세이다. 기존의 조류 조사 방식은 채수 및 센서를 통한 측정으로 이루어지고 있으며 시간, 비용 및 인력의 한계가 나타난다. 이러한 기존 모니터링 방법의 한계를 극복 하기위해 위성영상이나 무인항공기(Unmanned Aearial Vehicles, UAV), 등 탑제체를 운용한 다중분광 및 초분광과 같은 분광기기를 이용하여 원격 모니터링을 수행하는 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 조류 배양액 및 하천수 채수를 통한 실험실 규모의 실험을 통해 원격 모니터링의 종 구분에 대한 가능성에 대하여 확인 해보고자 하였다. 초분광 영상을 취득하기 위해 400-1000 nm에서 분석할 수 있는 초분광 센서를 활용하였다. 채수한 하천수의 조류 종 구분을 위한 분광특성을 추출하기 위해 GF/C필터를 이용하여 여과를 진행하여 시료를 제조하여 영상을 수집하였다. 수집된 영상을 방사보정 및 Base (하천수 및 배양보존액 통칭) 제거를 진행하였고 조류의 분광 정보 추출 과정을 통해 시료별 분광 정보를 추출, 분석하여 조류의 분광특성을 파악, 비교분석하여 하천·호소에서의 초분광영상 기반 원격탐사 모니터링의 적용성을 검토하고자 하였다.

This study is intended to clarify the structure and seasonal dynamics of warm tolerant benthic marine algal community in Korea. The species composition and biomass of marine algae at the discharge canal of Wolseong nuclear power plant on the East Coast of Korea were investigated seasonally from February 2001 to October 2005. As a result, 43 species (6 blue-green, 8 green, 9 brown and 20 red algae) of marine algae were found at the discharge canal during the past five years. In general, the number of species observed was abundant during winter to summer and less in autumn. Lyngbya confervoides and Enteromorpha compressa always occurred at the discharge canal during the past five years, and Oscillatoria brevis, Padina arborescens and Caulacanthus ustulatus were common species found more than 80% frequency during the study period. Seasonal fluctuations of mean biomass were 2-659 g dry wt m–2 and dominant species in biomass were Caulacanthus ustulatus (contribution to a total biomass proportion 37%), Enteromorpha compressa (26%) and Padina arborescens (24%). Results showed that, in the floristic composition, the green algae occurred as common algal group at the discharge canal of Wolseong nuclear power plant. In the quantitative aspect, however, the red algae such as Caulacanthus ustulatus and Ahnfeltiopsis flabelliformis appeared as predominant group at the discharge canal, in contrast to Kori nuclear power plant where there was a definite green algal dominance. Differences in algal communities developed at the discharge canals of three nuclear power plants on the East Coast of Korea can probably be related to local environmental factors.
