We investigated the distribution, molecular characteristics, and antimicrobial resistance of Vibrio vulnificus isolated from seawater at Gadeok Island, the Republic of Korea between June to October. Interestingly no isolates were detected between December to February. The detection rate of V. vulnificus was high (80-100%) from July to September 2019 and from June to September 2020. This coincided with the relatively low salinity of the seawater, which ranged from 7.8-29.9 practical salinity units for that period. Additionally, V. vulnificus had a high detection rate at sampling stations near the Nakdong river. The detection rates of virulence genes, such as vvhA, viuB, and vcgC, among the isolates were 97.1%, 44.1%, and 57.4% in 2019 and 100%, 43.0%, and 50.0% in 2020, respectively. Notably, viuB and vcgC were detected in V. vulnificus isolated between June to October when water temperature was above 20℃. The antimicrobial susceptibility analysis of 80 isolates revealed that most of the strains were susceptible to most antimicrobial agents. However, some isolates showed intermediate resistance to cefepime (18.8%), cefoxitin (58.8%), and erythromycin (22.5%). Of note, 3.8% of the tested strains were resistant to cefoxitin. The minimum inhibitory concentration of highly cefoxitin-resistant strains was determined to be less than 32 ㎍/mL.

Temporal and spatial variabilities of chlorophyll a (Chl-a) in the northern East China Sea (ECS) are described, using both 8-day composite images of the SeaWiFS (Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor) and in-situ data investigated in August and September during 2000-2005. Ocean color imagery showed that Chl-a concentrations on the continental shelf within the 50 m depth in the ECS were above 10 times higher than those of the Kuroshio area throughout the year. Higher concentrations (above $5mg/m^3$) of yearly mean Chl-a were observed along the western part of the shelf near the coast of China. The standard deviation also showed the characteristics of the spatial variability near $122-124^{\circ}E$, where the western region of the East China Sea was grater than that of the eastern region. Particularly the significant concentration of Chl-a, up to $9mg/m^3$, was found at the western part of $125^{\circ}E$ in the in-situ data of 2002. The higher Chl-a concentrations of in-situ data were consistent with low salinity waters of below 30 psu. It means that there were the close relationship between the horizontal distribution of Chl-a and low salinity water.

Soil salinity is becoming one of the most devastating environmental hazards over the years. Soil investigation involves fast, low cost and non disturbing methods to measure soil characteristics for both construction projects as well as for agricultural use. The electrical resistivity of saline soils is greatly governed by salt concentration and the presence of moisture in soil matrix. Experimental results of this investigation highlight that there is a significant relationship between the electrical resistivity of soil samples mixed with chloride solutions (NaCl, KCl, and MgCl₂) at various concentrations, and soil physical properties. Correlations represented by quadratic functions were obtained between electrical resistivity and soil characteristics, namely, water content, degree of saturation and salt concentration. This research reveals that the obtained correlations between electrical resistivity, salt concentration, water content and degree of saturation are effective for predicting the characteristics of salt affected soils in practice, which constitute a governing element in the assessment of saline lands sustaining infrastructure.

2003년 8월과 2004년 9월 제주도 남서부해역과 중국 연안해역을 대상으로 실시된 본 연구는 용존무기영양염류와 용존 및 입자유기탄소의 분포 특성을 조사하였다. 하계에 동중국해의 영양염의 분포 형태는 수괴 및 식물플랑크톤의 영향을 받은 것으로 밝혀졌다. 하계에 동중국해내 수괴들은 중국의 연안해역을 제외하고 상하수직혼합이 잘 일어나지 않아 표층수에는 영양염의 유입이 감소하고, 저층수에는 표층에서 유입되는 유기물이 분해되어 영양염의 축적이 일어나 높은 농도를 나타내고 있었다. Chlorophyll a의 농도가 높은 해역에서 영양염의 농도가 낮은 값을 보였으며, Chlorophyll a의 농도가 감소하는 수심이하에서 영양염의 농도가 증가함을 보여 높은 생물활동에 의한 무기영양염류 등이 조절되고 있는 것으로 생각된다. 연구해역내 용존유기탄소의 분포는 염분이나 수온에 대해 다소 산만한 분포를 보여 수괴에 따른 상관관계가 없는 것으로 조사되었고, 양자강 영향 정점에서 $100{\mu}M$이상의 높은 값을 보인 반면, 제주도 남서부 해역에서는 낮은 농도를 보였는데, 이것은 양자강 유출수가 동중국해 용존유기탄소의 공급원으로 작용하고 있는 것으로 사료된다. 연구해역 입자유기탄소의 분포특성은 양자강 유출수가 영향을 미치는 중국연안해역에서 평균 $9.23{\mu}M$로 가장 높은 농도를 보였으며, 대마난류수의 영향을 받는 제주도 남동부해역에서 $3.04{\mu}M$로 낮은 농도를 보였으며, 중앙부해역에서 $7.23{\mu}M$의 입자유기탄소량을 나타내, 양자강 유출수가 자생적 기원이외의 입자유기탄소 공급원으로 작용하고 있는 것으로 사료된다. 제주도 남서부해역에서의 입자유기탄소는 Chlorophyll a의 농도와 높은 상관성을 보여 자생적 기원으로 볼 수 있지만 그 해역에서의 염분도가 저염(30%o 이하)을 나타내고 있어 자생적 기원보다는 육상기원에 의한 영향으로 생각되어진다.

The structure of the nematodes communities has been studied in the sediments on two sites located outside and under the layer of Ahnfeltia tobuchiensis (Kanno and Matsubara 1932; Makijenko 1970). Bottom sediments at the stations were represented by sands with a different degree of silting. Specific structure of nematodes at the stations was significantly different under the similar environmental conditions (water depth, dissolved oxygen saturation, salinity, temperature of the bottom layer and organic carbon content inside of the sediment). Nematodes dominated (75.7 %) in meiobenthos community under the layer of A. tobuchiensis where concentration of silt particles was 12 %. Representatives of the family Comesomatidae were dominant. Low index of species diversity and high Simpson domination index were detected in this community. Under a layer of A. tobuchiensis with the thickness of 30 cm concentration of the silt particles was 5.39 %; nematodes density was low and made 32.1 % of the general density of meiobenthos. Species of the families Xyalidae and Monoposthiidae were dominant. Outside of A. tobuchiensis, field percentage of silt particles was minimal (3.1 %) and representatives of families Cyatholaimidae and Axonolaimidae dominated. The specific structure of nematodes in this type of the ground is characterized by high index of species diversity and low level of domination.

It was studied the relationship between the red tide occurrence and the meteorological and oceanographic factors, the choice of potential area for red tide occurrence, and the satellite monitoring for red tide. From 1990 through 2001, the red tide continuously appeared and the number of red tide occurrence increased every year. Then, the red tide bloomed during the periods of July and August. An important meteorological factor governing the mechanisms of the increasing in number of red tide occurrence was heavy precipitation. Oceanographic factors of favorable marine environmental conditions for the red tide formation included warm water temperature, low salinity, high suspended solid, low phosphorus, low nitrogen. A common condition for the red tide occurrence was heavy precipitation 2∼4 days earlier, and the favorable conditions for the red tide formation were high air temperature, proper sunshine and light winds for the day in red tide occurrence. From satellite images, it was possible to monitor the spatial distributions and concentrations of red tide. It was founded the potential areas for red tide occurrence in August 2000 by CIS conception: Yeosu∼Dolsan coast, Gamak bay, Namhae coast, Marado coast, Goheung coast, Deukryang bay, respectively.

In this study, the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of low-salt Myungran jeotkal (Alaskan pollock roe) were evaluated after fermentation at $4^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$ with or without the addition of deep sea water, salt from deep sea water, and vegetable-origin lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus fermentum JS, LBF). When fermented at $20^{\circ}C$, the addition of LBF to Myungran jeotkal resulted in a slow increase in lactic acid content, followed by an abrupt increase after five days of fermentation. However, when fermented at $4^{\circ}C$, the lactic acid content did not change significantly. Further, when Myungran jeotkal fermented at $4^{\circ}C$, the pH decreased as lactic acid production increased. The salinity of Myungran jeotkal fermented at $4^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$ was 7% and was not affected by fermentation period. When fermented at $20^{\circ}C$, volatile basic nitrogen and amino nitrogen contents increased with increasing duration of fermentation. Further, volatile acid content decreased, however, the content of amino nitrogen increased after 11 days of fermentation with LBF and no salt effects were observed. When fermented at $20^{\circ}C$ for 13 days, preference (sensory evaluation) was the highest in all experimental groups after 9 days of fermentation, and then decreased as the fermentation period increased. The free amino acid content was highest (1,648.8 mg/100 g) in Myungran jeotkal when sun-dried salt and LBF were added, 2.3 times higher than in the control.

1983년 7월 $25{\sim}31$일의 대한해협에서 실시한 관측자료를 사용하여 대한해협 서수도 수계의 화학적 성분을 분석 조사하였다. 그 결과 낙동강 유출수, 쓰시마 난류수, 거제도 연안수 및 울산 연안수의 4개의 수계로 구분되었다. 한편 낙동강 유출수의 영향은 거제도쪽 보다 부산영도인 동해 남부 연안쪽이 더 컸다. 이들 수계의 특성으로 먼저 낙동강 유출수는 투명도 3m 이하, 수색 7인 황토색 물로 표면의 수온, 염분, 용존산소, 인산염은 각각 $18{\sim}19^{\circ}C,\;31\%0$ 이하, $4.5{\sim}50ml/l,\;0.25{\sim}0.5{\mu}g-atom/l$이었고 또 질산염과 규산염은 해역중 가장 높은 간인 $10.0{\mu}g-atom/l$ 이상이었다. 쓰시만 난류수는 투명도 15m 이상, 수색 $4{\sim}2$의 맑은 물로 표면수온 $23^{\circ}C$내외 염분$32{\sim}33\%0$의 고온 저염수이다. 또한 표면의 용존산소는 5.0ml/l이상, 인산염, 질산염, 규산염은 각각 0.25, 2.0, $2.5{\mu}g-atom/l$ 이하로 해역중 가장 낮은 값이었다. 거제도 연안수는 표면수온 $20{\sim}21^{\circ}C$, 염분 $33\%0$이상의 비교적 저온 고염이고 표면 용존산소량이 5.0ml/l 이하, 인산염 $0.5{\mu}g-atom/l$ 내외 질산염과 규산염은 각각 $3.5{\mu}g-atom/l$ 이하로 나타났다. 또한 울산 연안수는 관측 해역중 가장 표면수온이 낮은 $16^{\circ}C$ 이하, $33.5\%0$ 이상의 저온고염이고, 용존산소, 인산염, 질산염, 규산염은 상당히 높은 값을 가져 저층수의 연안용승으로 인한 것이 아닌가 생각된다.

영산강 하구 내 해수 유동의 시공간적 변화를 이해하기 위하여 해수의 물성과 유속을 종합적으로 관측하였다. 수문 개방으로 많은 양의 담수 유입이 있었던 다음 날인 2000년 7월 27일부터 28일까지 25시간 동안 영산강 하구에서 관측을 실시하였다. 하구 내 12개 정점에서 27일 저조, 28일 고조와 저조때 각각 CTD 관측을 하였고, 하구 내한 정점에서 25시간 동안 수심별 수온과 유속 관측을 실시하였다. 유속은 Acoustic Doppler Profiler(1.5 MHz)를 이용하여 수직적으로 1m 간격으로 측정하였다. 동시에 하구 내 두 정점에서 TGPS 부이를 띄워 표층 해수 유동을 관측하였다. 관측기간은 소조에 해당되며, 조차는 약 4 m, 최대 조류는 약 12 cm/sec였다. 25시간 동안 관측된 유속은대부분의 수층에서 하구를 따라 동서방향으로 반일주조형태의 조류 특성을 잘 보여준다. 그러나 표층의 경우 바람에 의해 유속의 방향이 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 표층 2m이내에 존재하는 22 psu 이하의 저염수는, 관측 초기 남풍에 의해 북쪽 해안선을 따라 관측되었다. 바람의 방향이 동풍으로 바뀜에 따라 표층수는 외해로 흘러나가, 이튿날 관측시에는 하구 내에서 22 psu 이하의 저염수가 발견되지 않았다 유속과 수괴 특성을 분석한 결과일반적인 하구의 수직구조와 달리 본 해역은 수직적으로 네 개의 층으로 나눌 수 있었다. 담수 기원으로 생각되는 표층과 중층의 해수는 25시간 평균 유속이 외해를 향하며, 상층과 하층의 평균 유속은 강쪽을 향하고 있다 이러한 수직 구조는 하구언으로부터 강물의 유입이 불규칙적으로 이루어지기 때문에 발생한 현상이라고 생각된다.

The aim of this study was to compare community structure of larval fish species in the northern East China Sea during normal meteorological conditions in autumn 2009, during the El Ni$\tilde{n}$o period in 2009-2010, and during the La Nina period in 2010. Fifty taxa were recorded during the study period; the most dominant species were Benthosema pterotum and Gobiidae spp. In October 2008 during the normal period, warm water from the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) intruded more into the surface and middle layers, and cold water affected by the Yellow Sea Cold Water (YSCW) intruded into the bottom layer. In October 2009 during the El Ni$\tilde{n}$o period, intrusion of the China Coastal Water (CCW), which has low salinity (<32.2 psu), was more apparent than intrusion of the TWC or YSCW. In October 2010 during the La Nina period, intrusion of the TWC and CCW was relatively weak, resulting in the lowest temperature and highest salinity observed during the study period in the eastern part of the study area. Hierarchical cluster, one-way ANOSIM (analysis of similarities), and SIMPER (similarity-percentages procedure) analyses provided two main results. First, the abundance of the most dominant larval fish species in autumn of the normal period was greater than that in autumn of the El Ni$\tilde{n}$o/La Nina periods, resulting in a significant difference in ichthyoplankton community structure between the periods. The abundance of Benthosema pterotum increased in the normal period, possibly influenced by the intrusion of cold water from the YSCW; the abundance of species residing in Korean waters (e.g., Gobiidae spp.) probably decreased during the El Ni$\tilde{n}$o/La Nina periods. The second finding was that the abundance of subtropical larval fish in autumn of the normal period was generally larger than that during autumn of the El Ni$\tilde{n}$o/La Nina periods. This could have been induced by the stronger intrusion of warm water from the TWC during the normal period. Although differences in oceanographic conditions between El Ni$\tilde{n}$o and La Nina periods were observed, the differences in ichthyoplankton community structure between the two periods were not significant.
