Abstract
Masan Bay is one of the most heavily polluted bay in Korea owing to the large industrial complex and urban area. Water transparency, Secchi depth in meter, was observed 33 times totally at four sites during 1995 through 2002 and analysed statistically. The range was 0.2∼7.2m, mean 204m, and variation coefficient 60% in totally. Roughly speaking, monthly mean showed lower value April or July than other months. Seasonal mean showed lower in spring or summer than other seasons. Yearly mean was lowest in '95 and '98 during 7 years. Each sampling site showed a different patterns by the monthly, seasonal or yearly transparencies. Inner bay area, S1 site, showed lowest transparency and highest variation coefficient owing to the streamlets and urban area. And it was supposed that one of the important factor affecting different transparency distribution of most seaward site, S4 site, among four sites in the Masan Bay may be the underwater effluents of urban sewage water treated.
