In order to elucidate the cause of Cochlodinium polykrikoides blooms in the Korea southern coastal water, we investigated observational data of water temperatures and salinities in summer and winter, obtained from the stoppage of ship by NFRDI (National Fisheries Research and Development Institute) as well as composite images by NOAA from 1995 to 2008. Cochlodinium polykrikoides blooms occurred when water temperature was approximately $25.0{\sim}26.0^{\circ}C$ and salinity was 31.00 psu on average in Narodo neighboring seas. Different thermohaline fronts were observed between the Korea southern coastal water and the open sea water in summer and winter, respectively. That is, in winter four fronts were observed between the Korea southern coastal water with low temperature and low salinity, intermediate water originated from Tsushima Warm Current, Tsushima Warm Current with high temperature and high salinity, and the China coastal water with low temperature and low salinity. In contrast, in summer two fronts were observed between the Korea southern coastal water with low temperature and high salinity, Tsushima Warm Current with high temperature and low salinity, and the China coastal water with high temperature and high salinity. These thermohaline fronts also proved to be formed by two water masses with a different physical property, in terms of T-S diagrams. Consequently, we noticed that C. polykrikoides blooms occurring in Narodo neighboring seas in summer had a close relationship with thermohaline fronts observed between the Korea southern coastal water and Tsushima Warm Current.

A study on the larval fish assemblage around the front area was conducted in the Korea Strait in August, 1993. The front was found in the shelf break located in $35{\sim}36^{\circ}N$. A total of 125 species were found in the study area. Of these Engraulis japonicus was the most dominant species comprising 84.3% of the total fish larvae collected and followed by Maurolicus muelleri accounting for 7.7%. Gobiidae, Callionymidae and Pomacentridae showed higher frequency of occurrence. These five species can be divided into three groups. First group was comprised in the larval fish species such as E. japonicus and Callionymidae which were found in the whole study area. The second group was comprised of Gobiidae and Pomacentridae which were found in the warm area located in the southern part of the front area. The other species was M. muelleri found in the cold area located in the northern part of the front area including the front area. The assemblage, geological distribution and body length composition of the fish larvae in the Korea Strait would be mainly determined by the spawning ecology of the fishes, and the geological distribution and structure of the front which is formed in the ocean boundary between the Tsushima Current and the East Sea Cold Water.

Southern sea of Korea was investigated for primary productivity during four scientific cruises of Korea Ocean research and Development Institute. Frontal structure appeared to be an important physical characteristic in enhancing the phytoplankton production in the study area. Relatively high productivity was occurred near the front between Tsushima Warm Current Water and Coastal Waters of China continent in March 1990 and in November 1989, and near the front between Tsushima Warm Current Water and Korean coastal Water in April 1989. In August 1988 high productive zone was limited to the tidal front off the southwestern coast of Korea. Nutrient supply related to the frontal structure might play a dominant role in increasing the primary productivity but mechanisms of nutrient enrichment are not clear. Average column productivity showed its maximum in April 1989 (1727 mgC/m$^2$/day). In the costal Waters of the china Continent incident light may be an important factor in regulating the regulating the phytoplankton production because of low light penetration rate resulting from high turbidity.

본 연구에서는 장기간의 현장관측 수온, 염분자료를 분석하여 동중국해 북부해역에서 계절별 수온, 염분의 변동 특성을 조사하였다. 표층의 경우 춘계 수온상승에는 공간적인 차이가 있다. 또한 서부해역($125^{\circ}E$ 이서)에서는 32 psu 이하의 저염 분포가 나타나고 제주 남서해역에서 33psu 이하의 저염수가 춘계부터 제주 주변해역으로 확장한다. 하계 표층염분은 $28.0{\sim}32.4$ psu로 연중 최저값은 보이며, 전해역 표층 염분이 33psu 이하로 저염의 양자강 희석수가 하계에 동중국해 북부해역 표층 전체에 영향을 미치고 있다. 추계의 표층수온과 염분은 동고서저형의 수평분포를 나타낸다. 수온 하강은 서부해역인 대륙 연안수역이 동부의 대마난류수역에 비해 크고, 서부해역에서 33psu 이하의 설상형 저염분포가 이시기에 남동쪽으로 관입되는 형태로 나타나 동계의 남북방향의 염분전선과 이어지게 된다. 연직해황의 경우 동계 수온과 염분은 활발한 대륙작용에 의해 전수층에서 균일한 분포를 나타내며, 대륙연안수역에서는 저온, 저염($12^{\circ}C$, 33psu 이하)의 분포를, 대마난류수역에서는 고온, 고염($16^{\circ}C$, 34.4psu 이상)분포의 지역적인 특성으로 구별된다. 춘계에는 수온약층이 형성되며, 저층에는 동계에 형성되어 대륙연안수와 외양수 사이에 고립된 $13^{\circ}C$ 이하의 냉수괴가 분포한다. 염분은 표층 저염화가 시작된다. 하계에는 양자강 유출수의 영향으로 전해역 표층에서는 30psu 이하로 전해역에서 저염화 양상이 나타나며, 표층에서 30m 층까지 매우 강한 염분약층이 형성된다. 추계 수온 엽문은 균일한 연직수온분포가 나타나며, 동부해역에서는 수심 $75{\sim}100m$사이에서 수온, 염분약층이 형성된다. 동중국해의 수괴는 뚜렷한 계절 변동을 보이며, 대마난류수역인 동부해역에서는 수괴 계절변동의 요인으로 계절 수온변동이 지배적이고, 수온변동은 춘계와 하계 사이에 가장 크다. 중앙부와 대륙연안역인 서부해역에서는 수괴 계절변동에 수온외에 염분 변화가 주요한 요인으로 작용하며, 염분은 하계와 추계 사이에 가장 변동이 크게 나타난다. 즉, 동중국해의 수괴변동에는 변동요인에 따른 공간적인 차이가 있으며, 수괴변화 특성으로 동중국해는 수온변화가 수괴변동에 직접요인이 되는 동부 대마난류수역과 염분변화가 수괴변동의 직접요인인 서부의 대륙연안수역으로 구분된다.

The results of analyzing the hydrographic observations in the southwestern sea of Jeju Island in the last 10 days of August 1999 to investigate the characteristics of oceanic front area appeared in the East China Sea in August from is summarized as follows: In Line A, a front appears at Station A5 of 124°E and 31°30'N, showing relatively uniform density of 21.4 to 22.1 in the surface layer of 50m depth, which is distinguished from 22.0 shown in the sides of China and open ocean. In Line B, a front also appears at Station B6 of 124°E and 33°N, of which density is distinguished from 20.0 shown in the sides of China and open ocean as In Line A. As a result, the front area caused by fresh water runoffs from the Yangtze River in the East China Sea is formed at 124°E and 124°30'in the direction of east and northeast from Yangtze River, respectively. Nutrient concentrations in the study area are characterized by higher density in the side of China and by clear density difference between the upper and the lower layers in the side of open ocean, while by uniformly lower density concentration between the upper and the lower layers in the front area. Chlorophyll-α concentrations is high in the sides of China and open ocean, while low in the front area. Judging from the above results, the productivity in the front area is lower according to the inactivity of phytoplankton due to increased flow from vertical mixing between the upper layer and the lower layer. Also, the front area in the East China Sea in summer may be moved towards the adjacent sea of Jeju Island by increasing fresh water runoffs from the Yangtze River in summer.
