Abstract

We measured various geochemical parameters, including the grain size, loss on ignition(LOI), total organic carbon(TOC), total nitrogen(TN), total sulfur(TS) and metallic elements, in surface sediment collected from 19 stations in Gamak Bay in April 2010 in order to understand the sedimentary types, the origin of organic matters, and the distribution patterns of alkali(Li, Na, K, Rb) and alkaline earth(Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) elements. The surface sediments were mainly composed of mud. The concentrations of Chlorophyll-a, TOC, TN, TS and LOI in sediment were the highest at the cultivation areas of fish and shellfish in the northern and southern parts of the bay. The redox potential(or oxidation-reduction potential) showed the positive value in the middle part of the bay, indicating that the surface sediment is under oxidized condition. The organic materials in sediment at almost all of stations were characterized by the autochthonous origin. Based on the overall distributions of metallic elements, it appears that the concentrations of alkali and alkaline earth elements except Ba in sediment are mainly influenced by the dilution effect of quartz. The concentrations of Sr and Ba are also dependent on the secondary factors such as the effect of calcium carbonate and the redox potential.

2010년 4월 가막만 전역의 19개 정점에서 표층퇴적물을 채취하여 퇴적물의 입도 분포, 유기물의 기원, 알칼리 원소(Li, Na, K, Rb) 및 알칼리 토금속(Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba)원소의 분포특성을 파악하였다. 조사해역의 퇴적물 유형은 대부분 Mud로 나타났다. Chlorophyll $a$, TOC, TN, TS 및 LOI의 경우 만의 북부해역과 어류양식장이 산재되어 있는 남측해역에서 높은 농도분포를 보였으며, 만의 중앙부에서 낮은 농도를 보였다. 이들 성분과는 반대로 산화환원전위의 경우 만의 중앙부에서 대체로 (+)값으로 산화상태를 나타내었으며, 만의 북부해역과 남측해역에서 (-)상태로 환원환경 특성을 보였다. 유기물의 기원은 대부분 자생기원 유기물질 이였으나, 일부 정점에서 육상 및 박테리아성 유기물 기원 특성을 보였다. 알칼리 및 알카리 토금속 원소 중 Li, Na, K, Rb, Be, Mg, Ca 및 Sr의 경우 대부분의 정점에서 석영희석 효과에 의해 일차적으로 농도 분포가 결정된다. Ba의 경우 본 조사해역에서 중정석(Barite)가 존재하는 것으로 생각되며, Sr 및 Ba의 경우 이차적으로 탄산염 희석과 산화환원전위에 의한 생지화학적 영향을 직간접적으로 받는 것으로 보인다.
