The present study was performed to know the epidemiological statug of echinostomiasis in the Chungju Reservoir and upper streams of Namhan River, together with an experimental study on the life history o( Echinostoma hortense. The stool specimens of 169 inhabitants and 473 junior high school students from 5 different villages revealed 3(0.5%) echinostomatid egg Positive cases. E. hortense adult worms were recovered from one patient after a treatment and purgation. For the other two patients, it was presumed that one had 2. hortense and another E. cinetorchis infection, based on the morphology of eggs. Five kinds of freshwater snails(168 Radix auricularia coreane, 534 Physa arutp, 144 Hippeutis cnntori, 56 Cipcngopaludina chinensis malleata and 125 Semiiulcospira nediila glebus) examined for the cercariae of echinostomes showed negative results. Ten kinds of freshwater fishes examined for E. herten-'emetacercariae revealed positive rates as Misgurnus anguillicaudatus 40.5%, Odentobutis obscura interrupta 20.3%, Moroco onycephalus 3.9%, and Coreoperca hawamebari 2.0%. In the experimental study, the metacercariae of E. horlense were infected to rats, eggs were collected from adult worms and cultivated, and miracidia were obtained. The miracidia were artificially infected to freshwater snails (R. auricularia), and cercarial shedding was studied. It was revealed that, when the snails were kept at a low temperature ($24^{\circ}C$), only 523 cercariae (on average) were produced during 24 hrs, while they were at a high temperature ($30^{\circ}C$), as many as 9, 990 cercariae (on average) were shed during the same time. The experimental infection of E. hortense cercariae to freshwater fishes was successful in 0. obscura interrupta 52.0%, M. anguillicaudatus 30.3%, C. kawamebari 27.0%, Cobitis lutheri 15.0%, M. cxycephazus 7.3%, Pseudogobio esocinus 4.3%, Squalidus cereanus 2.0%, Zccco platypus 1.3%, and Pungtungia herzi 1.3%. However, infection was not successful to snails, C. chinensis. It has been proved that the Chungju Reservoir and upper streams of Namhan riyrr are endemic areas of echinostomiasis, especially of E. horfense, and snails such as R. auritulerie coreana and fishes such as O. obscura interrupts, M. gnguillicgudgtus, and others are taking the role of 6rst and second intermediate hosts, respectively.

The specific freshwater environment of reservoirs formed by streams has not been well studied. In this paper, the bacterioplankton community in such a reservoir, the Huangqian Reservoir in eastern China, was described using culture-independent molecular methods. We found that the most dominant bacterioplankton were affiliated with Cyanobacteria, followed by Betaproteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Gammaproteobacteria, and Actinobacteria. Both bacterial abundance and diversity increased along the direction of water flow, and the 16S rRNA gene copy number in the water outlet was nearly an order of magnitude higher than that in the water inlet. Pearson correlation analyses indicated that nitrate had a significantly negative correlation with the bacterial abundance (p < 0.05) and that ammonium was positively correlated with bacterial abundance (p < 0.05). Interestingly, owing to a remarkably negative correlation (p < 0.01), the ratio of nitrate and ammonium might serve as a good pre dictor of the relative abundance of bacterioplankton. According to redundancy analysis, nitrate and dissolved oxygen were the major factors influencing the bacterial communities. In addition, we attempted to determine the reasons why such a reservoir could maintain good ecological balance for a period of decades, and we found that the environmental factors and bacterial communities both played critical roles. This research will benefit our understanding of bacterial communities and their surrounding environments in freshwater ecosystems.

The incidence of freshwater algal bloom has been increasing globally in recent years and poses a major threat to environmental health. Cyanobacteria are the major component of the bloom forming community that must be monitored frequently. Their morphological identities, however, have remained elusive, due to their small size in cells and morphological resemblances among species. We have analyzed molecular diversity and seasonal changes of cyanobacteria in Paldang Reservoir, Korea, using morphological and 16S rRNA pyrosequencing methods. Samples were collected at monthly intervals from the reservoir March-December 2012. In total, 40 phylotypes of cyanobacteria were identified after comparing 49,131 pyrosequence reads. Cyanobacterial genera such as Anabaena, Aphanizomenon, Microcystis and Synechocystis were predominantly present in samples. However, the majority of cyanobacterial sequences (65.9%) identified in this study were of uncultured origins, not detected morphologically. Relative abundance of cyanobacterial sequences was observed as high in August, with no occurrence in March and December. These results suggested that pyrosequencing approach may reveal cyanobacterial diversity undetected morphologically, and may be used as reference for studying and monitoring cyanobacterial communities in aquatic environments.

담수 유입이 항만 내 해수순환에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여, 인천 남항의 남측에 위치한 신국제 여객터미널 해역에 3차원 유동 수치 모델을 구축 및 적용하였다. 수치 모델의 모의 기간은 경기만 지역의 평수기인 5월 15일부터 6월 30일까지 약 45일이며, 모델 결과와 관측자료의 비교를 통하여 유동과 염분 변화에 관한 모델의 재현성을 검증하였다. 신국제 여객터미널에 영향을 미치는 담수 공급원은 한강과 항만 동쪽에 위치한 용현 갯골 유수지가 있다. 유수지의 유무에 따른 잔차류 결과를 분석해 보면, 한강과 유수지가 모두 고려된 실험안이 한강만을 고려한 실험안보다 염분 경사에 의한 2층 흐름 구조(표층은 외해 방향, 저층은 항 내를 향한 흐름 구조)가 수평적으로 더 강하게 발달한다. 이는, 한강으로부터의 담수 영향보다 유수지로부터의 담수 영향이 신국제 여객터미널 해역에서 더 크다는 것을 시사한다. 또한, 잔차류의 2층 흐름 구조는 북쪽에 위치한 인천 남항보다, 남쪽에 위치한 신국제 여객터미널에서 더 강한 2층 흐름 구조가 발생한다. 이 프로세스는 유수지로부터의 담수와 항 내로 전파된 조류가 만나 신국제 여객터미널 방향으로 회전되어 전파되면서, 남쪽에 위치한 신국제 여객터미널에 저염수가 전달됨에 따라 형성된다. 이러한 흐름은 신국제 여객터미널 전면부에서 수평적인 염분 경사에 의한 성층을 강화시키며, 강화된 성층은 2층 흐름 구조를 형성 및 유지시킨다. 따라서, 항만 내의 경압 작용에 의한 해수순환과 물질이동을 재현하고자 할 때, 유수지와 같은 국지적인 담수 유입원이라도, 항만 내의 해수순환에 지배적인 영향을 미치므로, 현장 관측 자료를 기반으로 유수지에서 방류되는 실시간 담수 유량에 따른 수치모델을 수행해야 한다.

The dynamics of water quality and phytoplankton population had examined by monthly sampling from the upper to the lower part of watergate in an artificial Shihwa Reservoir in which situated near newly cities and incustrial complex on the west coast of Korea from January 1997 to December 1998. Among environmental factors, yearly average concentration of chl-a, TN and TP seemed to eutrophic or hypertrophic conditions that ranged 146.4~245.8 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$\ell$, 1.6~2.7 mg N/$\ell$, 258~448 $\mu\textrm{g}$ P/$\ell$, 26.9~80.7 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$\ell$, 1.0~2.4 mgN/$\ell$ and 74~239 $\mu\textrm{g}$P/$\ell$ respectively. Water quality was extremely deteriorated to consistently accumulation into inner reservoir by load of pollutants from autochthonous and allochthonous until early July 1997 after embankment. Water pollution of Shihwa Reservoir was remarkble on the biological condition with largely persistent bloom of phytoplankton and increase rate of standing crops was 2.4/yr. The development trend of phytoplankton in water ecosystem were closely related to increse and decrease of physico-chemical factors and those scale seemed to control by nutrient contents. Inflow of seawater into reservoir to object of repair of water quality. As to see dominant species, composition of those composed to mostly freshwater algae before inflow of seawater such as Selenastrum capricornutum of green algae, cyclotella atomus, C. meneghiniana of diatom and Microcystis spp. of blue-green algae and the other hand brackish algae were dominated after inflow of seawater such as Chaetoceros dicipiens, Skeletonema costatum of diatom, Dinophysis acuminata, Gymnodinium mikimotoi, G. sanguineum, Gyrodinium spirale, Prorocentrum minmum of dinoflagellate and Eutreptiella gymnastica of euglenoid. Moreover, small flagellates including Chroomonas spp. of cryptomonad were abundant throughout the year. The cause of water deterioration during fill of the freshwater were complexly supported with extra and intra parameters. The variation pattern of phytoplankton were related to water temperature and salinity by inflow of seawater based to plentiful nutrients. The dynamics of phytoplankton were assessed to ecosystem that clearly condition of dominant by unique or a few angel species seasonally.

Physical and chemical environmental factors influencing on the outbreak of freshwater red tide by Peridinium bipes (dinoflagellate) in Soyang Reservoir were studied. Red tide occured in the site of inflowing of tributary streams annually, but the extent and severity of red tide varied from year to year. Several environmental factors such as water level, nutrient releasing from sediment, cyst resuspension, and concentrations of $Ca^{2+}$ and $Mg^{2+}$were studiedin relation to development, extent, and duration of red tide. In June of 1989 and 1991, the red tides of Peridinium bipes were very severe, and these red tides coincided with notable and rapid drawdown of lake water in late spring. Nutrient releasing and cyst resuspension by turbulence during drawdown were suggested as main causes of red tide. The quanity of nutrient releasing from sediment and hydrometeorological factors such as run-off and wind may determine the extent and duration of red tide.

This research was conducted to investigate pollutant load unit factor from aquacultural farms. Pollutant load unit factors were investigated on the 13 kinds of fish type, i.e., Trout, Leather Carp, Eel, Carp, Cartfish, Freshwater Eel, Crucian Carp, Colored Carp, Sturgeon, Marsh Snail, Sweetfish, Pond Snail, Eriocheir Sinensis. Water qualities in aquacultural farms were investigated wide range of values by fish type and pollutant items. High BOD and COD values were observed at the Leather Carp (Ponded water system), Cartfish (Ponded water system) and Freshwater Eel (Recirculating System). TOC and DOC values were relatively high at the Freshwater Eel (Recirculating System) and Eriocheir Sinensis (Extensive). Eel (Ponded water system) and Freshwater Eel (Recirculating System) produced high concentrated nutrient pollutants, i.e., T-N, T-P. Pollutant load unit factors are dependent on fish type, aquacultural type, water quality items, etc. If some fishes have similar basic unit values, those could be applied for TMDLs as a group of fish having same pollutant load unit. The water quality concentrations of post treatment facilities' (mainly reservoir tank) effluent were higher than those of fish raising bath because of extracting pollutant from sediment in the reservoir tank. Therefore, it needs to the management and regulations about post treatment facilities.
