광양만내 해양바이러스양은 2.0$\times$$10^{8}$ particles/ml로 매우 풍부했다. 각 계절별 바이러스의 밀도는 여름에 최대 9.0$\times$$10^{8}$ particles/ml에서 겨울에는 최소값인 0.7$\times$$10^{8}$ particles/ml을 기록했다. 광양만 내의 바이러스, 박테리아, 식물플랑크톤 생물량의 공간적 분포는 open ocean system에 해당하는 정점 28, 38, 42, 46, 51에서 보다 closed estuarine system에 해당하는 정점 2, 5, 10 ,12, 16, 20에서 많은 것으로 나타났다. 그리고, 다른 closed estuarine system에 해당하는 정점 22, 26, 32, 34는 높은 바이러스 밀도를 보였지만 상대적으로 open ocean system에 비해서 낮은 박테리아와 식물플랑크톤의 생물량을 나타냈다. 몇몇 정점의 수심 깊이에서는 박테리아의 밀도가 바이러스의 밀도를 100배정도 초과했다. 해양 바이러스와 그들의 host system의 계절별 밀도는 역동적으로 번화했으며, 그들의 계절별 변화는 밀집한 상호연관성을 가졌다. 여름에 바이러스와 박레리아의 밀도는 증가된 반면 식물플랑크톤의 엽록소-a 농도는 평균값을 유지하였다. 겨울에는 바이러스와 박테리아의 밀도가 급속하게 줄어들었고, 마찬가지로 엽록소-a 농도 역시 감소하다가, 곧 다시 증가했다. 바이러스의 밀도는 2001년 8월에 최고점에 도달했으며, 박테리아의 밀도는 2001년 8월과 2002년 6월에 최고값을 가졌다. 반면에 엽록소-a의 농도는 2002년 4월에 최대치에 도달했다. 전체 host와 바이러스 밀도로 볼 때, 그들의 pool은 바이러스에 의한 mortality에 의해서 steady-state 상태로 유지되고, 바이러스의 밀도 또한 steady-state를 유지하는 것으로 보였다. 이러한 시도는 우리 나라 광양만 내에 존재하는 해양 바이러스의 생태적 분포 연구를 다루는 첫 번째 실험으로 사료된다.

Most projects of tideland reclamation with dike construction produce estuarine reservoirs, which may result in water quality problems due to blocking of natural flow of stream water to the sea. External loadings to the reservoirs through tributaries are major concerns in a concerned water quality management. The water quality of a reservoir is greatly influenced by watershed drainage, and accurate estimation of pollutant is indispensable for in the reservoir management. Concentrations of the microorganisms in stream water and conventional parameters were monitored in the 13 water quality monitoring sites located in a rural watershed of Hwaong estuarine reservoir. The indicator of microorganisms showed strong correlation between them, and regression equations with $R^2\geq0.70$ may be used fur estimating one from other microorganisms. The relationships between water quality parameters obtained in this study may be used to infer one unknown pollutant concentrations from the measured pollutant loadings. This methodology could be applied to other areas where the watershed characteristics are not significantly different from the study area. High concentrations of nitrogen was observed in water quality monitoring sites affected by urban land uses and numbers of livestock in wet day as well as dry day, due to the influent of diffuse sources.

Examining the microbial populations in the Han River estuary, we conducted this experiment at six sites of the estuarine area, Chollyu-ri, Cholsan-ri, Wolgon-ri, Chogi-ri, Inhwa-ri, and Oepo-ri for 5 months since May 1967. From the results obtained it could be summarized as follows. 1) The salinity of the estuarine water increased in order of the distances from the base point of the Old Han River Bridge to every site of the estuary, and pH of the water, which were between 7. 3 and 8. 1, showing little difference each other in both the sites and dates of experiment. 2) The populations of the general bacteria and coliform group bacteria were highest at the site of Chollyu-ri, and it decreased with the downstreaming of the river water toward Oepo-ri site. As for fungi which have comparatively high tolerance to the salinity, its population was shown hi hest at Chogi-ri. 3) The relationship between the salinity and the number of the general bacteria have indicated that the incresed salinity reduced the growth rates of the bacteria. By this it can be assumed that the fresh-water bacteria decreased due to the sea water as well as its dilution effects. 4) The high pollution of the esturarine water was caused by the increases of inhabitants and water thrown by industries in Seoul and Kyung-In Industrial District as well as the excrements fertilized to the farms.

Seasonal variation in species composition of fish in the Geum River estuary was determined using monthly samples collected with a bag net from February to December 2003. Of a total of seventy-three species collected, four groups of fishes were distinguished. Estuarine fishes such as Chelon haematocheilus and Synechogobius hasta were collected almost all the seasons and predominated in abundance during cold months. Coastal fish species such as Sardinella zunasi, Konosirus punctatus, Engraulis japonicus, Johnius grypotus and Thryssa kammalensis were dominated from late spring to autumn. Their adults entered into the estuary in spring and a large number of their juveniles were collected in summer and autumn till moving out to deeper waters for over-wintering. A few freshwater fishes were collected when the freshwater was discharged during the rainy season. Anguilla japonica elvers (diadromous fish) and Coilia nasus (amphidromous fish) were collected in spring during their upstream migration. The principal component analysis revealed that the seasonal variation in species composition of fishes was principally determined by water temperature and/or water temperature related factors.

The study is focused on the analysis of geomorphological environment changes of alluvial bar in lower Kum river using satellite-based multitemporal/multisensor data. Landsat datas for environment changes analysis consists of Landset MSS(2 scenes) and Landset TM(7 scenes) acquired from 1979 to 1994. This study is to develop the analysis techniques for the environment change detection of using ratio, classification, false color composite etc, of Landsat data especially useful to the geomorphological study of tidal flats and river channels. The results of this study can be summarized as follows : 1. The lower Kum River alluvial bar have had rapid geomorphological changes after the construction of the temporary dam to block the river flowing in 1983. The most alluvial bar located in the river has both bankway growth, especially the allurival bar in the Lower Kum River had grown between 1983 to 1990. 2. After construction of the estuarine barrage, no remarkable geomorphological changes have been found in Kum River area but the growth and formation of new underwater bar has continued. The enormous materials was needed for the growth and formations of new underwater barrier oslands and bar would be supplied from the sea bottom and river sediment to diminish of stream velocity after construction of the estuarine barrage.

As Simpson et al. (1990) emphasized the importance of the straining process in the stratification and mixing in the estuarine circulation process, various researches have investigated on the relative contribution of each process to the overall potential energy anomaly dynamics. However, many numerical works have done only for two dimensional modeling along channel or the short distance cross sectional three dimensional simulations as Burchard et al. (2008) and the estuarine channel was not simulated so far. But, in the study on the physics of shallow coastal seas, spatial dimension in the three dimensional way affects significantly on results of a particular numerical model. Therefore, the comparison of two and three dimensional models is important to understand the real physics of mixing and stratification in an estuary. Also, as Geyer and MacCready (2013) pointed out that the lateral process seems to be important in determining the periodic stratifications, to study such process the three dimensional modeling must be required. The present study uses a numerical model to show the signification roles of each term of the time-dependent dynamic equation for the potential energy anomaly (PEA) in controlling along and lateral channel flows and different stratification structures. Moreover, we present the relationships between the ${\Phi}$-advection, the depth mean straining, vertical mixing and vertical advection can explain well how water level, salinity distribution and across velocity 2D model are slightly different from 3D.

Humic substances are refractory organic compounds that are relatively low in biological activity but known to stimulate phytoplankton growth in estuarine and marine environments. The effect of humic substances on phytoplankton growth was investigated in the seawater zone of the Yeongsan River estuary where an episodic anthropogenic freshwater is discharged, affecting its water properties directly. Water samples and data of water properties were collected at three stations (Sts. A-C) along the channel of the seawater zone in February, May, August and November, 2009. The collected water samples were incubated after humic acids (HA) were added in mesocosm experiments. Phytoplankton (chlorophyll-a) were fractionated into net- (> 20 ㎛) and nano-size (< 20 ㎛) to examine the response of phytoplankton according to size. Their response to HA treatment was assessed by repeated measures analysis of variance (RM-ANOVA). The experiments showed that phytoplankton biomass (chlorophyll-a) significantly increased after HA were added at the stations near the sea dike. Especially, nano-sized chlorophyll-a concentrations increased significantly throughout the seasons. This indicates that understanding the behavior of refractory organic matters such as humic substances is required to better manage altered estuarine ecosystems including the Yeongsan River estuary which are affected by episodic discharge of freshwater from sea dikes.

연안 하구는 인위적인 개발압력이 상존하며 자연적인 변화에도 민감하게 반응하는 지역이다. 따라서 보존과 지속 가능한 이용을 위해서는 하구 생태계의 구조와 기능에 대한 이해가 필요하며, 인위적 혹은 자연적 변화에 어떻게 반응할 것인지를 아는 것이 필요하다. 하구 생태계 변화의 방향과 현 상태를 용이하게 판단하기 위한 노력의 하나로서 비오톱(biotope)과 하구 타입 분류(typology)를 이용하여 "생태 구역"을 정의하였다. 하구댐의 유무, 염분특성, 식생유무에 따라 16개의 생태 구역을 정의하였고, 고성만에 위치한 고성천 인근 4개 하구(배둔, 구만, 마암, 고성) 생태계에서 지형, 하상경사, 퇴적물 특성, 염분 구조, 식생 면적 등을 통해 생태구역 구분을 시도하였다. 고성천 인근 하구에는 총 16개 생태구역 중 7개가 구분되었다. 자연형 하천인 구만천, 마암천, 배둔천의 상류에는 NFB(natural, fresh, bare)가 나타나고 있으며, 기수 지역에는 NLV(natural, low salinity, vegetated)가 그리고 갯벌에는 NHB(natural, high salinity, bare)가 나타났다. 폐쇄형인 고성천의 경우 담수지역에는 CFB(closed, fresh, bare), 이후 하구쪽으로 CFV(closed, fresh vegetated)가 나타났다. 갈대가 넓게 서식하는 하구댐 안쪽지역은 CLV(closed, low salinity, vegetated)가 나타나며, 거산방조제 바깥쪽은 CHB(closed, high salinity, bare)가 나타났다. 고성천의 CHB와 CLV 지역은 방조제가 하구 생태계에 미치는 영향을 잘 보여주고 있다. 염분이 비교적 높고, 수심이 갚은 수로나 갯벌이 존재하던 CHB 지역이 하구둑에 의해 고염분 지역과 단절되면서 염분이 감소하고, 조석의 영향이 줄어들면서 침수가 줄고, 결국 갈대가 서식하기에 적합한 환경으로 바뀌게 되며, CLV로 바뀐 것으로 여겨진다. 국내의 여러 하구에 나타나는 생태구역을 데이터베이스화하여 각 생태구역의 출현 분포를 파악하는 것이 필요하며, 이러한 자료는 인위적, 자연적 변화에 의한 하구 생태계 변동을 예측하고 관리/대응 방안을 마련하는데 이용될 것이다. 생태구역 변화는 생태구조와 가능의 변화를 가져오기 때문에 생태계 역할 및 가치의 변화를 수반하며, 생태 구역 변화를 야기하는 사업의 타당성을 판단하는 근거자료로 이용될 수 있다.
