남조류 분리균주들은 주어진 배양조건에 따라서 특징적인 세포모양이 결핍되거나 형태가 변형되기 쉽기 때문에, 형태학적으로 종을 정확하게 구분하기 어렵다. 형태학적 지표대신에 단일 혹은 조합된 반복염기를 프라이머로 이용한 repetitive oligonucleotides-primed PCR (ROP-PCR)을 수행하여 담수계 오염을 일으키는 독성 남조류 Anabaena와 Oscillatoria 속의 구성원들의 DNA 밴드양상을 구별하였다. 그람음성 세균에 빈번하게 분포한 것으로 알려진 ERIC및 REP 반복염기, 남조류의 게놈으로부터 파생된 STRRIA와 LTRR 반복염기, 그리고 진핵생물의 반복염기를 이용하여 수행한 ROP-PCR은 남조류 분리균주들의 특이적이고 반복적인 DNA 지문 및 뚜렷한 유전형을 동정하게 하였다. 분리균주의 그룹분석은 ROP-PCR에 이용된 프라이머에 따라서 유의성있는 차이를 나타내었다.

The purpose of this study is to describe the change of the spring bloom and oceanographic condition. The variation of pigment concentration derived from the satellite ocean color data has been analyzed. According to the movement of blooming area, blooming was very concerned with a rising trend of sea surface temperature and a supply of nutrients. A nutrient rich water carried by the Oyashio encounters with the warm Core ring, where mixings and blooms are observed. We examined the correlation by using the satellite observations of the temperature and chlorophyll-a for the spring seasons (May, June, July) of 1998 the off Sanriku area (38-43N, 141- l50E). Using the SeaWiFS data, we process the data into the level-3, which contains the geophysical value of chlorophyll-a. And chlorophyll-a data is mapped for the water between 110E and 160E, and 15N and 52N with a 0.08 * 0.05 degree grid for each image. And Sea Surface Temperature (SST) data is produced using the AVHRR onboard the NOAA. The SST is derived by the MCSST. Then, the data is mapped for the water as much as chi-a data. And these gridded image was made by detection of each water masses, which are Kuroshio Extension, the warm-core ring and the Oyashlo Intrusion, etc., using those satellite images to determine short term change. Off Sanriku is a place where warm-water pool and the Oyashio at-e mixed. When warm streamer has intruded in cold water, the volume of phytoplankton increases at the tip of warm streamer. Warm water streamer was trigger of occurring blooming. And also, SeaWiFS images provided as much information for the studies of chlorophyll-a concentrations in the surface.

1996년 여름 제주도 서쪽 해안에서 전에 볼 수 없을 정도로 유용 대형저서동물이 대량으로 죽어, 전복, 오분자기, 소라, 해삼, 말똥성게에 큰 피해를 주었다. 제주도 해안에서 식물플랑크톤 대발생은 없었고, 대량폐사가 일어나기 전에 해안에서 표층 저염수가 나타났기 때문에 저염분 스트레스가 대량폐사에 결정적인 영향을 미쳤을 것으로 여겨진다. 같은 기간 관측된 강수량이 적어, 강수량으로 저염화를 설명하지 못한다. 국립수산진흥원(1997)이 관측한 자료는 1996년 8월 제주도와 중국 사이 해역에 표충 저염수가 나타난 것을 확실히 보여준다. 제주도 서쪽 해안에 나타난 표층 저염수는 다량으로 유출된 강물이 그 기원일 가능성이 가장 높다. 해류와 양자강에서 제주도까지 거리등도 표층 저염수가 양자강에서 방류된 강물에서 기원한 것이라는 가설을 지지한다.

To establish a comprehensive management strategy, as part of the optimization of cultural practice for an oyster rack culture system, we used a numerical model to estimate the primary production in the waters on the eastern coast of Wando island, South Korea. The estimated primary production ranged from 17.12 to $1052.55mgC\;m^{-2}day^{-1}$ ($204.22{\pm}224.75mgC\;m^{-2}day^{-1}$ in average). Except for the times of peak phytoplankton blooms, the estimated primary production (PP) was consistently under $200mgC\;m^{-2}day^{-1}$, which is more similar to the value of PP measured off the western coast of South Korea than the southern coast. No clear relationship was observed between nitrogen content and rainfall with the exception of heavy rainfall events, indicating that precipitation might not be the main source of nutrients in these waters. No clear influence was observed from Doam tidal discharge, located 24 km north from these waters due to main tide comes in this area from the channel between Gunwe-myeon in Wando island and Pukpyeong-myeon in Haenam-gun. Because of the shallow water depth and strong tidal current, resuspension of sediments, which causes an input of nitrogen into the system, could be easily caused by even mild wind and the infrequent passing of ships. Microscopic examination of the phytoplankton composition showed additional contribution of benthic species such as Paralia sulcata into the waters, which increase the productivity of oyster farms in the waters. The availability of nitrate and phosphate for primary production was temporarily limited throughout most of the spring and autumn blooming season.

The community dynamics and distribution of dinoflagellates and their cysts were monitored monthly from June 1996 to May 1997 at six stations in Masan-Chinhae Bay, one of the famous bays for red-tide occurrence in Korea. The dinoflagellate standing crops ranged from the minimum of 306 cells $ml^{-1}$ in February to the maximum of 37,959 cells $ml^{-1}$ in May. The species causing massive blooms were Prorocentrum micans Ehrenberg and Ceratium furca (Ehrenberg) Claparede & Lachmann in July, Gymnodinium sanguineum Hirasaka in October, Alexandrium tamarense (Lebour) Balech in April and Proroeentrum minimum (Pavillard) Schiller in May. Twenty-seven taxa of dinoflagellate cysts were isolated, including 20 identified species and 7 unidentified species. The mean cyst abundance ranged from the minimum of 556 cysts $cm^{-3}$ in June to the maximum of 5,727 cysts$cm^{-3}$ in February. The spatial pattern of cyst distribution showed the gradual increase in abundance from offshore to inshore stations. The cyst genera of Protoperidinium, Gymnodinium, Serippsiella, Gyrodinium and Alexandrium were abundant throughout the year. The vertical distribution of cysts showed the surface miximum at the 0-2cm layer and the sub-surface maximum at the 2-4cm layer. Total abundance of cysts showed the most significant relationships with water temperature, and some minor relationship with dissolved oxygen, salinity, pH, phosphate and total inorganic nitrogen of surface and bottom layer in the water column. The number of dinoflagellate species decreased, while the abundance of cysts increased 4.5 times as compared with the observation of 10 years prior to the present study at the same stations of Masan-Chinhae Bay.

It is often believed that a more complex water quality model is better able to simulate reality. The more complex a model, however, the more parameters are involved thus increases the cost and uncertainty of modeling processes. The objective of this study was to compare the performance of two steady-state river water quality models, QUAL2E and QUAL-NIER, that have different complexity. QUAL-NIER is recently developed by National Institute of Environmental Research aiming to enhance the simulation capability of QUAL2E for eutrophic rivers. It is a carbon based model that considers different forms, such as dissolved versus particulate and labile versus refractory, of carbon and nutrients, and the contribution of autochthonous loading due to algal metabolism. The models were simultaneously applied to Nakdong River and their performance was evaluated by statistical verification with field data. Both models showed similar performance and satisfactorily replicated the longitudinal variations of BOD, T-N, T-P, Chl.a concentrations along the river. The algal blooms occurred at the stagnant reaches of downstream were also reasonably captured by the models. Although QUAL-NIER somewhat reduced the magnitude of errors, the hypothesis tests revealed no statistical evidence to justify its better performance. The contribution of autochthonous carbon and nutrient load by algal metabolism was insignificant because the hydraulic retention time is relatively short compare to the time scale of kinetic reactions. The results imply that the kinetic processes included in QUAL-NIER are too complex for the nature and scale of the real processes involved, thus needs to be optimized for improving the modeling efficiency.

In this study, the PHYTO-PAM-fluorometric method was used to evaluate the ETR$_{max}$ in terms of sensitivity to DIN/DIP against 14 microalgae: Prorocentrum micans, Heterocapsa triquetra, Gymnodinium impudicum, Cymnodinium catenatum, Amphidinium caterae, Chlorella vulgaris, Chroococcus minutus, Microcystis aeruginosa, Chlorella ellipsoidea, Nannochloris oculata, Oocystis lacustris, Chroomonas salina, Gloeocystis gigas, and Prymnessium parvum. We found that P. micans, H. triquetra, and A. caterae exposed to the maximum level of DIN/DIP were significantly smaller in the ETR$_{max}$ than that of the minimum and moderate mixture. Unlikely the ETR$_{max}$, the initial slope alpha was not significantly different at the level of 60 DIN/DIP. In G. catenatum, the moderate levels of 15 and 20 in DIN/DIP were found to be significantly different from the ETR$_{max}$ at Chl-Ch4. Gymnodinium impudicum had a higher value than that of the ETR$_{max}$ than that of dinoflagellates used in this study, ranging from 306.1 (Ch4, DIN/DIP: 10) to 520.1 (Ch4, DIN/DIP: 30). The ETR$_{max}$ value obtained from other microalgae was similar to C. impudicum at any of the ratios of DIN/DIP and channels. Consequently, the influence of offshore water current assures us of the suppression of photosynthesis and electron transport rate in dinoflagellates. Gymnodinium impudicum has not been researched in the area of red tides in Korea, but it will be enough to creat the massive algal blooms in the future because of higher potential photochemical availability.

Recently, there has been a growing interest in physical-biological ocean-modeling systems by communities in the fields of science and business. In this paper, we present preliminary results from a coupled physical-biological model for the Northwestern Pacific marginal seas. The ocean circulation component is an implementation of the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS), and the lower trophic level ecosystem component is a Nutrient-Phytoplankton-Zooplankton-Detritus (NPZD) model. The ROMS-NPZD coupled system, with a 25 km resolution, is forced by climatological atmospheric data and predicts the physical variables and concentrations of nitrate, phytoplankton, zooplankton, and detritus. Model results are compared with remote-sensed sea surface temperature and chlorophyll, and with climatological sea surface salinity and nitrate. Our model adequately reproduces the observed spatial distribution and seasonal variability of nitrate and chlorophyll concentrations as well as physical variables, showing a high correlation in the East Sea (ES) and Kuroshio/Oyashio Extension (KOE) region but relatively low correlation in the Yellow Sea (YS) and East China Sea (ECS). Although some deficiencies were found in the biological components, such as the over/underestimation of the intensity of phytoplankton blooms in the ES and KOE/the YS and ECS, our system demonstrates the capability of the model to capture and record dominant seasonal variability in physical-biological processes and this holds out the promise of coming to a better understanding of such processes and making better predictions .

Plankton communities have close relationships with environmental changes in water columns. Thus, the use of plankton as a biological tool for assessing the marine ecosystem health may be effective. Major issue regarding coastal pollution has been usually recognized as phytoplankton blooms or red tides caused by the eutrophication, an increase in concentration of inorganic nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus. However, in order to understand the effects of the overall pollution on marine ecosystem, the organic pollutants as well as the inorganic nutrients should be also considered. For understanding the effects of the organic pollution, among the planktonic organisms, heterotrophic bacteria, heterotrophic flagellates and ciliates should be investigated. Generally, there are three approaches for assessing the marine ecosystem health using the plankton taxa or plankton communities. The first one is a community-based approach such as diversity index and chlorophyll a concentration which are common in analysis of the plankton communities. The second is an indiviual-based approach which is to monitor the pollution indicative species. This approach needs one's ability to identify the plankton to species level. The last approach is a bioassay of toxicity, which can be applied to the plankton. A pilot study in Masan Bay was conducted to assess the effects of the inorganic and organic pollution. In this article, a new approach using plankton communities was tentatively presented as a biological tool for assessing the ecosystem health of Masan Bay.
