본 연구는 주암호, 동복호, 영산호 세 호소의 이화학적 인자, 식물플랑크톤 생체량(Chl ${\alpha}$) 및 일차생산력을 조사하기 위하여 2004년 4월부터 2006년 3월까지 총 8회에 걸쳐 계절별로 실시하였다. 소형식물플랑크톤이 우점(>60%)한 동복호의 식물플랑크톤 생체량은 상류에서 2004년 4월에 높았지만 하류에서는 2004년 6월에 높은 분포를 나타내었다. 주암호에서 식물플랑크톤 생체량이 높았던 2004련 4월에 미소형식물플랑크톤의 기여율이 높았다. 영산호는 8월 (2004, 2005)에 높은 생체량을 보였는데 이 시기 미소형식물플랑크톤의 기여율이 높았다. 일차생산력은 동복호, 영산호, 주암호 순으로 높게 분포되었다. 단순 회귀 분석결과, 동복호에서 젠체식물플랑크톤, 소형식물플랑크톤과 일차생산력은 투명도와 상관성을 보였다. 주암호에서는 하류에서 크기별 식물플랑크톤과 $PO_4^{3-}$가 상관성을 보였고 일차생산력은 수온, TN과 높은 상관성을 보였다. 영산호 상, 하류에서 식물플랑크톤은 TN/TP와 음의 상관성을 보였고 일차생산력은 상류에서 높은 상관성을 보였으나 하류에서는 탁도와 높은 상관성을 보였다. 주암호와 동복호는 기타 환경 인자와의 단순회귀분석결과로부터 인과 질소 관리의 필요성이 제기된다. 영산호는 부유물질을 관리할 필요성이 있고 하류의 높은 일차생산력으로 보아 식물플랑크톤의 내부생산 기여율에 대한 추가적인 조사를 통한 저감방안 마련도 필요한 것으로 사료된다.

An year-long survey of chemical water quality for Lake Eui-am in Kang-won Province, Korea, was conducted from June 1970 to May 1971 to study the water quality and seasonal variations of productivities in relation to selected physical and chemical environmental factors. A monthly series of water samples were taken at the deepest basin of 18m depth of the lake. Water quality parameters determined were water temperature, Secchi disc reading(transparency), pH, O$\_$2/, CO$\_$2/, alkalinity, acidity, Cl, hardness, Ca, Mg, total residue, total ignitious residue, COD, BOD$\_$5/, nutrients, total-Fe, soluble Fe, Mn and Cu. On the whole, the results indicate that the chemical water quality of Lake Eui-am is high, and vary with season. The lake water is characterized that higher levels of dissolved oxygen(8.6 ml/L in mean of whole water) or percent saturation of dissolved oxygen(114%), and of nitrate nitrogen (523 $\mu\textrm{g}$/L). On the other hand, CO$\_$2/(9.6ppm), chlorides(3.5ppm), Ca(7.7ppm) Mg(2.2ppm), hardness(28.5ppm), silica(2.4ppm) and BOD$\_$5/(1.08ppm) are quite low. In terms of nutrient levels, the lake water exhibit slight signs of eutrophication. The high values for nitrate nitrogen, soluble iron and Cu of the lake water suggest that there are some imputs such as domestic and industrial discharges to the lake.

The Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) has suggested that spatial and spectral characteristics would be suited to evaluate water quality of lake. But, TM has not been commonly used for the analysis of in-land water quality, such as surface water temperature, chlorophyll-a, suspended sediments, and Secchi depth in domestic research. This paper summarizes the analysis of Landsat 5 - TM image collected on 22 Feb 1996 for evaluation of chlorophyll-a and surface temperature in the Lake Soyang. And, field measurements collected in the Lake Soyang were used to obtain water optical algorithms for calibration of satellite data. It is concluded that we can assess chlorophyll-a with remote sensing reflectance and surface temperature with thermal band in lake Soyang. However, surface temperature calculated with thermal band of Landsat TM are underestimated. Relationship between remote sensing reflectance and chlorophyll-a using the ratio of TM band 1 and band 3 is as follows; Y = 17.206 - 6.4711 * (Rrs(band1) / Rrs(band3)) $R^2$=0.8762 and, using the ratio of TM band 1 and band 2 as follows; Y = 57.77 - 35.771 * (Rrs(band1) / Rrs(band2)) $R^2$=0.8317.

During the period of past fifteen years (1992~2006), variations of chlorophyll a in relation with water quality in freshwater reservoirs were investigated. This study compared total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), chlorophyll a, Secchi depth (SD) and total suspended solids (TSS) between terrestrial freshwater reservoir and coastal freshwater reservoir systems based on their location. Regression analyses (linear and non-linear regressions) were applied for all study sites to examine relationship and interaction of these factors in the freshwater systems from in-land to coasts. The results demonstrated that chlorophyll a was significantly correlated to total phosphorus ($R^2=0.94$, P<0.0001) and was remarkably related to TSS increase ($R^2=0.63$, P<0.0001) in the selected reservoirs. The TN : TP ratio in the reservoir systems was higher than Redfield ratio (16 : 1) indicating that the reservoirs are potentially experiencing P limitation. Water quality of coastal freshwater reservoir system was more significantly decreased than the reservoirs located in in-land during the past fifteen years. The strict management of nutrient discharge into freshwater systems should implemented in the coastal reservoirs since the freshwater is introduced into coastal estuarine systems.

The primary production (PP) by phytoplankton in marine ecosystems is essential for carbon cycling and fueling food webs. Hence, estimating the PP in the territorial sea of each country is a necessary step to achieving carbon neutrality. To estimate the PP in the territorial sea of the Republic of Korea from 2005 to 2021, we analyzed various physiochemical parameters, such as sea surface temperature (SST), Secchi depth, and concentrations of chlorophyll-a and nutrients in the seas of five regions, including the East Sea, West Sea, western South Sea, eastern South Sea, and the waters off Jeju Island. During the 17-year study period, the SST tended to increase, while the nutrient concentrations declined, except in the Jeju area. Overall, the PP did not show a specific temporal trend, but daily PP in the western South Sea was the highest among the five regions. Moreover, the maximum PP in the Korean territorial waters (76,450 km²) was estimated at 11,227 Gg C y^-1, which accounts for 0.03% of the global PP. The results may give insights into a better understanding of the PP, further resource utilization, and environmental sustainability in the studied region.

1998년부터 2000년까지 겨울 결빙기를 제외한 청초호의 수질 및 영양상태의 판정결과 부영양화가 심각한 것으로 조사되었다. 투명도는 0.4${\sim}$1.3 m로 비교적 낮은 값을 보였으며, COD농포는 전 조사지점에서 $3.0{\pm}1.0\;mgO_2/L$이었다. 염분은 $29.3{\pm}5.5\;ppt$로 매우 높았으며, 수심 약 0.5${\sim}$l.5 m에서 염분에 의한 화학성층(chemocline)이 형성되어 심층에 산소공급이 제한되었다. 또한 표층보다 심층수의 수온이 높은 수온역전현상이 관찰되기도 하였다. 표층수의 총인은 0.048${\sim}$0.253 mgP/L, 총질소는 0.9${\sim}$2.4 mgN/L의 범위로 나타났으며, 청초호에서의 TN/TP 비는 대체적으로 20 이하로 질소가 수중 생물의 성장과 생성에 제한 요소로 작용할수도 있음을 시사하였다. 그러나 일반적으로 인과 질소의 농도가 높게 유지되어 총질소와 총인의 비로서 제한 요소를 파악하는 것은 무리가 따르는 것으로 판단된다. 유입수가 유입되는 정점 1보다는 해수의 영향이 많은 연안으로 갈수록 점차 TN/TP비가 감소하여 해수의 영향이 클수록 인함량에 대한 질소함량비가 상대적으로 감소하는 것으로 사료된다. 조사기간 식물플랑크톤의 경우는 연중 녹조류인 Microspora sp.가 우점하였으며, 식물플랑크톤에의한 Chl. a값은 매년 감소하는 반면 부유물질의 농도는 점차 증가하여 무기현탁물의 부유물질에 대한 기여도가 점차 증가하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 청초호의 엽록소 a농도는 각 정점 평균 $14.0{\pm}25.0\;mg/m^3$으로 나타나 U.S.EPA 기준으로 볼 때 부영양호로 분류되며, 여름 성장기엽록소 a, 투명도,및 총인의 평균치를 이용한 부영양화도지수 (TSI)도 평균 59${\sim}$77로 부영양 상태로 나타났다.

Physicochemical properties of water quality were analyzed to understand the long-term variations in Lake Youngrang from 1998 to 2015. Nonparametric statistical methods were applied to deduct correlation among water quality parameters and water quality trend. In total observations(N=64), the Secchi depth (SD) transparency showed significant positive correlation with salinity (r=0.458) and highly significant negative correlation with chlorophyll-a (r= -0.649) for p<0.0001 in two-tailed test of Spearman's rank correlation. Significant negative correlations of SD were observed with chemical oxygen demand (COD), total phosphorus (TP) and total nitrogen (TN). These correlation patterns were very similar in rainy (N=25) and non-rainy (N=39) periods too. Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) had significant correlation with COD. Sen's slope test was performed along with Mann-Kendall trend test (significance ${\alpha}=0.05$, two-tailed) to find water quality trend. Positive trends were observed for SD and salinity with Sen's slopes 0.012 and 0.385, respectively (p<0.0001). Negative significant trends were observed for total nitrogen (TN) and Chl-a with Sen's slopes -0.02 (p<0.0001) and -0.346 (p=0.0010), respectively. Temperature, COD and phosphorus components had no trends. Carlson's trophic state index (TSI) for SD, TP and Chl-a were obtained in the ranges of 46~80, 37~82 and 39~82, respectively. Trophic index values suggest that Lake Youngrang was mesoeutrophic to eutrophic and there could be possibility of anoxia during the summer and dominance of blue-green algae. Excess nutrient inputs from external and internal sources were the causes of eutrophication in this lake. The findings of this study would be helpful to recognize water quality variables to manage the water body.

The objectives of this study were to evaluate spatial and temporal variability of water quality in 10 reservoirs and identify the key nutrients (N, P) influencing chlorophyll-a (CHL) along with analysis of empirical models and zonal patterns of total phosphorus (TP) and CHL. We analyzed total nitrogen (TN), TP, CHL, water clarity (Secchi depth, SD), and evaluated potential limiting nutrient using ambient N:P ratios and previous criteria of ambient nutrients. Water clarity and CHL varied largely depending on the seasonal monsoon and type of reservoir, but trophic state was diagnosed as eutrophy, base on mean CHL in most reservoirs. The peak of TP did not match the contents of CHL due to rapid flushing during the high run-off period. In the reservoir of DR, regression coefficient in the $P_r$ was 0.510 but was 0.159 in the $M_o$, while the TP-CHL relation in the YR increased during the monsoon compared to the premonsoon. The regression coefficient in the $P_r$ was not statistically significant but the value of $M_o$ was 0.250. TP showed similar longitudinal zonal gradients among the reservoirs of DR, YR and JR. Empirical models of TP-CHL, based on overall data, showed that CHL was determined by phosphorus($R^2=0.244$, p=0.0019). Regression analysis of CHL-SD showed a stronger linear fit ($R^2=0.638$, p<0.001) than the TP-CHL model.

The major objectives of this study were to evaluate trophic state of reservoirs using major water quality variables and its relations in terms of trophic guilds and tolerance guilds with dominant lentic fishes. For this study, we selected 6 artificial reservoirs such as Namyang Reservoir ($N_yR$), Youngsan Reservoir ($Y_sR$), Daechung Reservoir ($D_cR$), Chungju Reservoir ($Cj_R$), Chungpyung Reservoir ($C_pR$), and Paldang Reservoir ($P_dR$), and collected fish during 2000~2007 along with data analysis of water quality monitored by the ministry of environment, Korea. Biological oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD), indicators of organic matter pollution, varied depending on types of the reservoirs and the spatial patterns in terms of trophic gradients were similar to patterns of nutrients, Secchi depth and chlorophyll-a. Analysis of trophic state index (TSI) showed that reservoirs of $D_cR$ and $C_jR$ were mesotrophy and other 4 reservoirs were eutrophic state. The relations of trophic relations showedthat TSI (Chl-a) had a positive linear function [TSI (CHL)=0.407 TSI (TP)+28.2, n=138, p<0.05] with TSI (TP) but had a weak relation with TSI (TN). Also, TSI (TP) were negatively correlated ($R^2=0.703$, p<0.05) with TSI (SD), whereas TSI (TN) was not significant (p>0.05) relations with TSI (SD). Tolerance guilds of lentic fishes, based on three types of the reservoirs, reflected the exactly water quality in the TN, TP, BOD, and COD, and similar trends were shown in the fish feeding/trophic guilds.
