The effect of a salinity on the performance of a biological nutrient removal system was investigated using a model SBR(Sequencing Bach Reactor) system. The system was operated at a 12hr, 18hr, 24hr, and 36hr HRT with a salinity level of 20,000mg/L and compared with a system similarly operated with fresh water. The influent salinity level of 8,000 mg/L does not have a significant effect on BOD removal efficiency, there is a noticeable decrease in BOD removal rate from 10,000 mg Cl-/L. The Nitrogen could be removed from the saline wastewater with the same efficiency as for the fresh water because of low C/N ratio in anoxic period. The excess biological phosphorous removal is highly affected by the increase in the influent salinity. The efficiency is decreased from 96.6% to 43.4% when the influent salinity is increased from 0 to 20,000mg/L.

There are serious issues with the application of surfactant flooding as a third recovery method, such as surfactant slug losses. In this study,the impact of the salinity gradient on the remobilization of oiltrapped in Berea sandstone was investigated by emphasizing the surfactant adsorption gradient and phase behavior to determine the optimal salinity of the chosen surfactant concentration for investigating the salinity gradient. Three salinity-gradient schemes were applied to six cores saturated with light and heavy oils. The positive salinity gradient provided the best recovery results with an in situ microemulsion formation that could be observed in the fluid collector.

The East Sea, a semi-enclosed marginal sea with shallow straits in the northwest Pacific, is marked by the nearly geographic isolation and the low sea surface salinity during the last glacial maximum (LGM). The East Sea might have the only connection to the open ocean through the Korea Strait with a sill depth of 130 m, allowing the paleo-Tsushima Water to enter the sea during the LGM. The low paleosalinity associated with abnormally light $\delta^{18}O$ values of planktonic foraminifera is interpreted to have resulted from river discharge and precipitation. Nevertheless, two LGM features in the East Sea are disputable. This study attempts to estimate volume transport of the paleo-Tsushima Water via the Korea Strait and further examines its effect on the low sea surface salinity (SSS) during the lowest sea level of the LGM. The East Sea was not completely isolated, but partially linked to the northern East China Sea through the Korea Strait during the LGM. The volume transport of the paleo-Tsushima Water during the LGM is calculated approximately$(0.5\~2.1)\times10^{12}m^3/yr$ on the basis of the selected seismic reflection profiles along with bathymetry and current data. The annual influx of the paleo-Tsushima Water is low, compared to the 100 m-thick surface water volume $(about\;79.75\times10^{12}m^3)$ in the East Sea. The paleo-Tsushima Water influx might have changed the surface water properties within a geologically short time, potentially decreasing sea surface salinity. However, the effect of volume transport on the low sea surface salinity essentially depends on freshwater amounts within the paleo-Tsushima Water and excessive evaporation during the glacial lowstands of sea level. Even though the paleo-Tsushima Water is assumed to have been entirely freshwater at that time period, it would annually reduce only about 1‰ of salinity in the surface water of the East Sea. Thus, the paleo-Tsushima Water influx itself might not be large enough to significantly reduce the paleosalinity of about 100 m-thick surface layer during the LGM. This further suggests contribution of additional river discharges from nearby fluvial systems (e.g. the Amur River) to freshen the surface water.

In this study, we crossbred Epinephelus akaara and E. lanceolatus to produce a hybrid grouper with faster growth and adaptation to domestic aquaculture environments. The plasma cortisol and glucose levels and osmoregulation (stress response indicators) of the hybrid grouper, E. akaara ♀ × E. lanceolatus ♂, were investigated under several salinity levels (32, 24, 16, and 8 psu). The body lengths and weights of E. akaara (8.2 ± 0.1 cm, 8.3 ± 0.4 g) and the hybrid (8.6 ± 0.1 cm, 10.0 ± 0.4 g) were similar at the start of the experiment, but were significantly different at the end of the experiment. Juveniles of both E. akaara and the hybrid showed greater weight gain, specific growth, and feed conversion rate (FCR) under low salinity of 16 psu. Under the 8 psu treatment, the juvenile E. akaara all died, while the hybrid juveniles survived. Plasma cortisol levels were not affected by lower salinity in both species. The above results indicate that the hybrid is more tolerant of low salinity than is E. akaara, although both species exhibited higher growth and FCR at 16 psu, lower than the salinity of natural seawater. Thus, juveniles of both E. akaara and the hybrid can be more effectively cultured in brackish areas or waters with salinity lower than that of seawater.

해수의 염분은 수중 음속 산출에 있어 영향을 적게 미치는 변수로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 여름철 양쯔강(장강) 희석수가 동중국해로 확장하는 과정에서 양쯔강 하구 인근 해수의 저염분이 음속의 수직구조에 어떻게 영향을 미치는지를 파악하였다. 음속 산출에 활용된 염분을 관측치와 고정값으로 구분 후 각각의 음속을 비교한 결과, 양쯔강 희석수의 영향으로 염분약층이 수온약층보다 강하게 형성되는 경우 음속이 상이하게 나타났다. 또한, 음원을 수온약층의 중간 심도에 위치하여 음선경로를 추적한 결과 염분약층이 강한 경우 고정된 염분으로 계산된 음속에서는 확인되지 않는 수중음파통로가 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구는 여름철 저염분수에 의한 강한 염분약층이 형성된 조건에서 음속 산출 시 Expandable Bathy Thermograph(XBT)보다는 실제 염분이 고려된 관측기기인 Expendable Conductivity Temperature Depth(XCTD)와 Expendable Sound Velocimeter(XSV)의 활용이 중요함을 제시한다.

Heterotrophic activity, total bacteria and salinity were determined seasonally in the estuary of Naktong River over half tidal cycle. Heterotrophic activity was determined by the uptake of [U- $^{14}$ C]glucose. Heterotrophic activity fluctuated with the tides and was decreased as salinity increased. Teh great activity occurred near low ebb tide at all seasons except summer. The main environmental factor affecting hetreotrophic activity was the salinity rather than water temperature in the estuary of Naktong River. In order to estimate the effect of salt, salt was added to estuarine water. Vmax for glucose of salt-added water was 17% and 77% of original estuarine water at station 1 and 2 respectively and slight increase was observed at station 3. Respiration rate and Kt+Sn for glucose of salt-added sample increased at all 3 stations. The increase of the Kt value implies the reduced affinity of bacterial population for glucose. The effects of salinity on the heterotrophic activity were more extensive in the upper region of estuary than at the mouth.

Salinity tolerance on survival rate of 2, 4 and 6-week-old larvae and juvenile of black porgy Acanthopagrus schlegeli was investigated at 0, 7.5, 15, 22.5 and 30 psu for 21 days. In the 2 and 4-week-old larvae and juvenile (TL: 1.23 and 1.72 cm) were all died within 12 and 26 hours after to the 0 psu transfer, respectively. However, survival rate of other experimental group (7.5, 15, 22.5 and 30 psu) was significantly difference in the range between 27.3% and 95% (P<0.05). However survival rate of 6-weeks-old juvenile (TL: 2.83 cm) were over 99.0% during experimental periods and they appeared in good health. There was no significant difference in survival those reared to the salinities of all experimental groups (P>0.05). The present study suggests that the freshwater and saline groundwater of low salinity could be used to grow early juveniles of black porgy and it may be possible to culture in freshwater.

Human-induced soil salinity is becoming a major threat to agriculture across the world. This salinisation occurs in both irrigated and rain-fed agricultural zones with the highest proportions in the arid and semi-arid environments. Livestock can play an important role in the management and rehabilitation of this land. There are a range of plants that grow in saline soils and these have been used as animal feed. In many situations, animal production has been poor as a result of low edible biomass production, low nutritive value, depressed appetite, or a reduction in efficiency of energy use. Feeding systems are proposed that maximise the feeding value of plants growing on saline land and integrate their use with other feed resources available within mixed livestock and crop farming systems. Salt-tolerant pastures, particularly the chenopod shrubs, have moderate digestible energy and high crude protein. For this reason they represent a good supplement for poor quality pastures and crop residues. The use of salt-tolerant pasture systems not only provides feed for livestock but also may act as a bio-drain to lower saline water tables and improve the soil for growth of alternative less salt tolerant plants. In the longer term there are opportunities to identify and select more appropriate plants and animals for saline agriculture.

한반도 서남부해역은 하계 양자강의 유출에 의해 저염분 현상이 발생한다. 중국 대통(Datong)에서 지난 65년(1922­1986)간 장기관측한 자료에 의하면 매년 양자강 유출량은 일정하지 않으며, 최대 유출량은 최소유출량의 2배 이상이 됨을 보여주고 있다. 따라서 양자강의 유출량을 달리하여 저염확산을 수치모델로 연구하고자 하였다. 수치모델은 POM(Princeton Ocean Model)을 사용하였다. POM은 연직적으로 $\sigma$­좌표계를 사용하는 3차원 해양순환모델이다. 모델 수행 후 연구해역내 대륙사면에서 유속이 강하게 나타났다. 또한 제주도 서쪽을 통해 북상하여 황해중앙부로 들어가는 흐름이 있으며, 대륙연안을 따라 남하하는 흐름이 있음을 알 수 있다. 양자강 유출량을 부여한 후 수행한 모델의 결과를 보면 양자강 유출량이 많을수록 저염분역이 제주도에 가깝게 나타남을 알 수 있다.
