In the present study, we investigated the effects of rearing condition during the winter period on artificial maturation and reproduction of cultured female eel, Anguilla japonica. The female eel was adapted by combination of environmental conditions (seawater/low temperature, $10^{\circ}C$; seawater/high temperature, $20^{\circ}C$; freshwater/low temperature, $10^{\circ}C$; freshwater/high temperature, $20^{\circ}C$) during 8 weeks of the winter period. Then, the female eel cultivated by different conditions during the winter were transferred to seawater at $20^{\circ}C$ for induction of artificial maturation by salmon pituitary extraction (SPE) injection. The results shown that gonadosomatic index (GSI) and plasma levels of estradiol-$17{\beta}$ (E2) were significantly higher in female eel were reared in seawater than in freshwater, and were the highest at eel adapted by seawater/low temperature. Also, reproduction coefficient were higher in seawater/low temperature than in the other groups. These results will provide valuable information for elevation of the artificial maturation and reproduction coefficient in the cultured female eel.

본 연구는 도암댐 상류 고랭지 농업지역의 이른 봄철 융설에 의해 발생되는 비점오염 물질의 배출 특성을 규명하고자 수행하였다. 연구는 2010년 2월 중순부터 4월 말까지 수행하였다. 연구지역에서는 2009년 11월 2일부터 2010년 4월 29일까지 눈이 내렸으며, 일 최대 적설량은 2월 11일에 기록된 59.3 cm이고, 총 적설량은 372.1 cm로 나타났다. 연구결과 융설에 의해 발생되는 단위 면적당 유량은 $77.05\;m^3$/ha/day로서 겨울철 평시 유량 $26.99\;m^3$/ha/day에 비해 두배 가까이 증가하였다. 유량의 변화는 기온의 영향을 많이 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 유량의 변화는 탁도와 SS 그리고 $COD_{Mn}$의 농도 변화에 영향을 주는 것으로 조사되었다. 오염물질 항목 중 SS와 COD의 유량가중평균농도는 각각 986.0 mg/L와 16.3 mg/L로서 겨울철 평시 농도보다 크게 증가하였는데, 이는 융설시 발생한 유출수에 의해 미세한 토양입자의 유실과 함께 오염물질도 배출된 결과로 판단된다. 그러나 T-N과 T-P의 농도는 큰 변화가 없는 것으로 조사되었다. 본 연구결과에 기초할 때, 담수호 상류에 위치한 고랭지 지역에서는 겨울철 적설량이 많고 융설에 의한 수질오염 문제가 하는 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 해빙기 융설로 인해 발생되는 비점오염 물질의 정량화에 대한 연구가 체계적이고 지속적으로 수행될 필요가 있다. 특히 우리나라의 겨울철 적설량과 기온은 연도별로 많은 편차가 있고, 연구결과 다량의 오염물질이 배출되기 때문에 융설에 대한 연구는 반드시 수행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, we investigated the physiochemical characteristics of temporal estuarine environment formed during the summer flood season (consecutive rainy days with average 50 mm day$^{-1}$ precipitation) in the coastal area of South Sea of Korea. The freshwater from the Seomjin River was characterized by lower temperature, salinity and pH, and high concentrations of COD and nutrients. In the summer flood season, such peculiar Somejin-River freshwater was dispersed southward along the coast of Yeosubando-Dolsando-Geumodo, form-ing temporal estuarine environment (defined as "Coastal Pseudo-Estuary" in this study) throughout the entire study area (as far as 60 km from the Seomjin River mouth). Compared to the winter dry season, the DIN/DIP ratio was almost doubled (16-36) during the summer flood season. This excessive nitrate supply during the summer flood season was probably due to nitrogenous fertilizer. Distribution and behaviors of physiochemical factors in this coastal pseudo-estuarine environment were controlled not only by the runoff of the Seomjun River (physical mixing of river water with seawater) but also by the biogeochemical estuarine processes which are mostly similar to those of the river estuary.r estuary.

The objectives of this investigation are : 1. To analyze spectral signature and the associated vegetation index for geometric illumination conditions inf1uenced by low solar elevation and high slope orientations in mountainous forest. 2. To assess the accuracy of the spectral angle mapper classification for the a winter land cover in comparison with the maximum likelihood classification. 3. To produce the image of water quality and water properties that could be used to estimate the water pollution sources and the tide-included by turbid water in estuarine and coastal areas. These objectives are to characterize environmental and ecological monitoring applications of the Nak-Dong River Basin by using Fuyo-1 OPS VNIR data acquired on December 26, 1992. The results of this paper are as follows : 1. The spectral digital numbers and vegetation indexes (NDVI and TVI) of mountainous forest are higher on the slope facing the sun than on the slope hidden the sun under low sun elevation condition. 2. The spectral angle mapper algorithm produces a more accurate land cover classification of areas with steep slope, various aspects and low solar elevation than the maximum likelihood classifier. 3. The maximum likelihood classification images can be used for identifying the location and movement of both freshwater and salt water, regardless of geometric illumination conditions. 4. The color-coded density sliced image of selected water bodies by using the near-infrared band 3 can provide distribution of the water quality of the Lower Nak-Dong River. 5. The color-coded normalized difference vegetation index image of the selected mountain forest is suitable to classify winter vegetation cover types, i.e., forest canopy densities for slope orientations.

영산강은 황룡강과 지석천이 합류하는 지점이기 때문에 많은 비가 내리면 홍수에 취약한 반면, 인근 지역인 나주시 노안면과 광주광역시 승촌동 지역의 지하수를 풍부하게 해주는 역할을 하고 있다. 특히, 승촌보 인근 지역은 겨울철 수온이 따뜻한 지하수를 활용하여 겨울철 미나리를 대규모로 재배하고 있다. 현재 승촌보 운영 수위를 관리 수위인 E.L.7.5m보다 1.5~2m 낮은 E.L.5.5~6.0m로 운영함에 따라 지하수 수위가 보 관리 수위보다 낮게 형성되고 있다. 이에 K-water 영산강보관리단은 여름철 홍수방어를 위해 설치된 배수문을 겨울철에 닫아 인공소류지를 형성함으로써 겨울철 미나리 재배지역에 지하수가 함양되는지 시험운영을 계획하였다. 배수문 시설을 관리하는 한국농어촌공사 광주지사와 광주광역시 남구청과 협의하였다. 이후 영산강유역환경청 민관협의체 위원장과 주민대표 통장님들께 방문 설명 등 지역주민들의 공감대 형성을 거쳐, '22년 9월 30일 승촌보 인근 승촌배수문 등 5개 배수문을 폐쇄하여 11월 30일까지 소류지에 물을 담수하였다. 또한, 소류지의 수위를 파악하기 위해 GPS 측량으로 해발 표고 산정한 간이 목자판 수위계를 설치하여 소류지내 수위를 모니터링하였다. 승촌배수문(#1)에서 발생한 누수는 스펀지를 바닥에 깔아 보강함으로써 누수를 줄여 소류지 수위를 E.L.6.7m 이상을 유지하였다. 그 결과 영산강에 인접한 SCM-008 지하수 관측소 데이터는 승촌보 운영 수위에 영향을 받고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 미나리 재배 기간인 3월에는 수막 재배로 인한 지하수 사용으로 수위가 가장 낮았으며, 여름철에 지하수 수위가 회복되는 패턴을 반복하였다. 10월~11월 시험운영기간 동안 SCM-005, -008, -101 지하수 관측정은 소류지와 중앙배수로에 가까울수록 인공 함양시 수위 상승효과가 크게 나타났으며, 평년(2020년~2021년) 대비 지하수위 상승을 확인하였다. SC-0 지역은 2022년 가뭄으로 다우년 대비 지하수 수위가 낮았으나, 시험운영 기간 중 지하수 수위 하강 속도가 늦춰지거나, 수위가 상승하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 인근 마을주민들에게 시험 운영 결과를 공유하였고, 소류지가 예년처럼 건천화되었을 때보다 지하수 수위상승과 중앙배수로나 소류지에서 양수하는 등 용수 이용에 도움이 되었다는 긍정적인 답변을 받았다. 따라서 2023년도에도 겨울철 미나리 재배 시기 동안 배수문을 닫아 소류지를 형성하여 지하수 함양에 도움이 되록하여, 미나리 지역의 농가 수익 증대에 보탬이 되도록 할 예정이다.

Circulation, tides, currents, harmful algal blooms, water quality, and hypoxic conditions in Jinhae-Masan Bay have been extensively studied. However, these previous studies primarily focused on short-term variations, and there was limited detailed investigation into the physical mechanisms responsible for ocean circulation in the bays. Oceanic processes in the bays, such as pollutant dispersal, changes on a seasonal time scale. Therefore, this study aimed to understand how the circulation in Jinhae-Masan Bay varies seasonally and to examine the effects of tides, winds, and river discharges on regional ocean circulation. To achieve this, a three-dimensional ocean circulation model was used to simulate circulation patterns from 2016 to 2018, and sensitivity experiments were conducted. This study reveals that convective estuarine circulation develops in Jinhae and Masan Bays, characterized by the inflow of deep oceanic water from the Korea Strait through Gadeoksudo, while surface water flows outward. This deep water intrusion divides into northward and westward branches. In this study, the volume transport was calculated along the direction of bottom channels in each region. The meridional water exchange in the eastern region of Jinhae Bay is 2.3 times greater in winter and 1.4 times greater in summer compared to that of zonal exchange in the western region. In the western region of Jinhae Bay, the circulation pattern varies significantly by season due to changes in the balance of forces. During winter, surface currents flow southward and bottom currents flow northward, strengthening the north-south convective circulation due to the combined effects of northwesterly winds and the slope of the sea surface. In contrast, during summer, southwesterly winds cause surface seawater to flow eastward, and the elevated sea surface in the southeastern part enhances northward barotropic pressure gradient intensifying the eastward surface flow. The density gradient and southward baroclinic pressure gradient increase in the lower layer, causing a strong westward inflow of seawater from Gadeoksudo, enhancing the zonal convective circulation by 26% compared to winter. The convective circulation in the western Jinhae Bay is significantly influenced by both tidal current and wind during both winter and summer. In the eastern Jinhae Bay and Masan Bay, surface water flows outward to the open sea in all seasons, while bottom water flows inward, demonstrating a typical convective estuarine circulation. In winter, the contributions of wind and freshwater influx are significant, while in summer, the influence of mixing by tidal currents plays a major role in the north-south convective circulation. In the eastern Jinhae Bay, tidally driven residual circulation patterns, influenced by the local topography, are distinct. The study results are expected to enhance our understanding of pollutant dispersion, summer hypoxic events, and the abundance of red tide organisms in these bays.

In order to understand the seasonal characteristics of seawater in Asan Bay, the quality of this water was observed over four seasons form December 2011 to February 2013, and correlations between seawater quality variations and freshwater input were analyzed by a statistical method. The results, based on factor analysis, indicate that the two most important factors in understanding variation are freshwater input (37.7 %) and seawater exchange (24.4 %). Asan-ho and Sapgyo-ho are two major freshwater sources that affect inner (eastern) Asan Bay. Discharged freshwater from the inner bay strongly affects the spatial and temporal distribution of seawater in the bay overall during the summer rainy season. On other hand, water re-suspended from the bottom of the bay overwhelmed the water quality during the dry winter season. In conclusion, seasonal freshwater discharge dominated the water quality of the bay, and, consequently, DIP limited the growth of phytoplankton in the bay.

As one of the on-going projects to investigate the biogeochemical characteristics of tidal flat, we develop seasonal mass balance calculations (or DIP, DIN and DON in Gomso Bay. We have obtained 13-hours time-series data of salinity, tidal current, nutrients, and chlorophyll-a of seawater for spring, dry summer, rainy summer and winter during $1999{\sim}2000$. DIP of $-1.10{\times}10^6g\;P\;day^{-1},\;-4.50{\times}10^5g\;P\;day^{-1}$ was out-fluxed from the bay to the bay proper for spring and dry summer, respectively. Whereas $1.06{\times}10^4g\;P\;day^{-1}$ of net influx of DIP was found during winter and $2.72{\times}10^6g\;P\;day^{-1}$ of net influx was also found during the rainy summer. Therefore we suggest the role of Gomso tidal flat as a source of DIP fur the seasons of spring and summer, but as an opposite role during the rainy summer and winter but much smaller in magnitude. Except winter, the advection process by tidal current is found the most dominant flux among the diverse fluxes of DIP in the bay. Whereas ground water is estimated as the strongest flux of TDN except winter. TDN of $1.38{\times}10^7g\;N\;day^{-1},\;2.45{\times}10^6g\;N\;day^{-1},\;and\;4.65{\times}10^7g\;N\;day^{-1}$ was in-fluxed to the bay from the bay proper far spring, rainy summer and summer, respectively. Only $-1.70{\times}10^7g\;N\;day^{-1}$ of net out-flux was found during the winter. Therefore we suggest the role of Gomso tidal flat as a sink of TDN far the year round except winter.

The distribution of fish (Cobitidae and Cyprinidae) and amphibians together with related environmental factors were surveyed at 30 randomly selected rice-fields (15 flooded unmanaged rice fields (FUR) and 15 unflooded managed rice fields (UMR)) near the Yedang reservoir in Korea, eight times from May to August in 2012. The total number of species captured from the entire survey area was 13 species with 8 families of fish and 5 species of amphibians. The number of species of Cyprinidae fish captured in FUR was higher than that in UMR. Upon the comparative analysis on the distribution of fish and amphibians in FUR and UMR, it was found that the number of Cyprinidae fish captured in FUR was significantly higher than that in UMR while the number of Cobitidae fish captured in UMR was higher than that in FUR. According to the analysis on the environmental factors that affect the distribution of fish, Cyprinidae fish tend to appear in rice-fields, that were flooded in winter, near the Yedang reservoir while Cobitidae fish tend to appear in rice fields that draws its water supply from forest reservoir and have a good water drainage system. In case of amphibians, the number of tadpoles captured in UMR was higher than that in FUR. Rana catesbeiana was dominant in FUR and Rana nigromaculata was dominant in UMR. Upon the analysis on the environmental factors that affect the distribution of tadpoles, it was found that Rana catesbeiana tadpoles tend to appear in rice fields, that were flooded in winter, near Yedang reservoir while Rana nigromaculata tadpoles tend to appear near mountains and far from the Yedang reservoir.
