Optical microscope, SEM and fluorescent microscope were used for qualitative and morphological studies of the attachment bacteria on PE substratum under anaerobic condition. The observation of optical microscopic has demonstrated that the initial attachment of bacteria began in crevices of surface. In SEM photographs, shape and structure of biofilm could be observed, but bacteria species and methanogens was not identified. A large number of methanogenic bacteria were showed on the surface of PE substratum by fluorescence under 480nm of radiation. It was estimated that methanogenic bacteria was related to initial attachment of bacteria under anaerobic condition.

The effect of propeller surface roughness condition on ship performance is very significant even the influence of fouling on propeller performance is not well established compared to biofouling on the hull surface. In present study, predictions of open water efficiency of propeller are made for three different fouling conditions, and its application is given for the 7m full-scale propeller of a medium-size tanker in open water condition. The numerical predictions of propeller efficiency loss due to fouling are based on the results from laboratory-scale drag measurements and boundary layer similarity law analysis presented in Schultz (2007) together with an in-house unsteady lifting surface code which is an appropriate tool to predict the effect of propeller surface roughness on propeller performance. The results of this study indicate that the subject propeller with the small calcareous fouling ($k_s=0.001$) can lead to as high as 15 % loss at the propeller operating condition (J=0.5) and the loss of propeller efficiency due to fouling should be evaluated while the ship is operating.

신수도는 삼천포수도를 사이에 두고 삼천포 화력발전소로부터 불과 2.5km 떨어진 곳에 위치하고 있다. 발전소의 가동에 따른 냉각수의 취수와 배수는 발전소 인근해역의 생물군집에 구조적 변화를 야기하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 발전소의 가동이 생물에 미치는 영향은 취수스크린에서의 기계적 충격, 냉각계통을 통과하는 연행, 부착생물을 제거하기 위해 사용하는 화학물질에 의한 생리적 장해 및 온배수의 방출로 인한 인접해역의 수온상승과 용존산소의 감소 등이 있다. (중략)

The use of electric field has been studied as an alternative for biofilm control dominated by disinfectants and antibiotics. This technology would be advantageous in the environmental respect that biofilm can be controlled based on electron transfer, not using chemical disinfectants and antibiotics. Control mechanisms which were reported by earlier studies are organized as; (1) bacterial adhesion control by electrostatic repulsion at a negative current, (2) bacterial adhesion control using bacterial motion and (3) bacterial inactivation by direct oxidation at a positive current, (4) bioelectric effect leading to biofilm inactivation. In this review article, we summarized the technologies for biofilm control using electric field and provided some application examples from previous studies.

To understand the effects of the cooling water system of the power plant on the succession of sessile zoobenthos, a series of experiments were carried out at the cooling water system of Samchonpo Power Plant from Hay 1985 to May 1986. The lowest species diversity of the zoobenthos was observed at the discharge canal. This is probably caused by both increased velocity and temperature of circulating water. It is also noticeable that species composition of the zoobenthos, to a certain degree, was affected due to the impingement of meroplankton during the entrainment process. While the number of species attached on the experimental substrata installed in the thermally altered area is smaller than that in the intake canal, the biomass is increased as the increased temperature eliminates some species and in turn stimulates reproduction and growth of the others. It is interesting that relatively high similarity exists between the summer communities in the intake canal and the spring communities in the thermally altered area, and the same relationship is also found between the fall communities in the intake canal and the winter communities in the thermally altered area. Ecological index curves of the zoobenthos of the intake canal follows the fluctuation pattern of the thermally altered area in one or two months of elapsed time, probably due to temperature increase by the inflow of heated water discharged from the power plant.

This study assessed biological water quality using epilithic diatoms in the Yeong river, Naeseong stream and Wi stream in the upper region of the Nakdong river from May to October 2016. Epilithic diatoms were not mobile, so they could reflect long-term water quality. The sampled epilithic diatoms were identified a total 158 taxa which were composed to 2 orders, 3 suborders, 8 families, 34 genera, 143 species and 15 varieties. Dominant species were Achnanthes convergens and Achnanthes minutissima at Yeong river, Nitzschia inconspicua at Naeseong stream, and Achnanthes minutissima, Cocconeis placentula var. lineata and Navicula minima at Wi stream. As a result of the CCA, Electrical conductivity, total nitrogen and total phosphorus were important factors determining the diatom species composition in the upper region of the Nakdong river. The correlation between diatom indices (DAIpo & TDI) measured to be high in the correlation coefficient (0.87) from the result of correlation analysis. In the result of the assessment of biological water quality using DAIpo and TDI, Yeong river was rated as class A at most sites. Naeseong stream was rated as class C to D at all sites except for N1 which was rated as Class A. Wi stream was rated as class B to C for DAIpo of W1, and TDI was rated as class D. The assessment of biological water quality at this site showed inferior TDI result compared to that of DAIpo. DAIpo and TDI of W2 were rated as class A to D, and the water quality has changed a lot. W3 and W4 were mostly rated as class B and C respectively.

The anaerobic continuous reactor, which was filled with a sludge of anaerobic digestion from Sooyoung sewage treatment plant, was supplied with synthetic wastewater of various concentration. After changing to substrate concentration, 디 1is research indicated that attached biomass was kept constant after attachment 23 days. In SEM photographs. shape and structure of biofilm could be observed, but bacteria species and methanogens were not identified. A large number of methanogenic bacteria were showed on the surface of PE substratum by fluorescence under 480nm of radiation.

This study was conducted to investigate the recruitment pattern of sessile organisms on the artificial substrates of PVC in Jangmok Bay, Geoje Island, southern coast of Korea. Five PVC plates were submerged from March to October, 2007 at one month interval, and two plates were retrieved after one month. The dominant recruiters were a green algae, Entermorpha prolifera in March, Mytilus galloprovincialis in April, M. galloprovincialis and Styela plicata in May, S. plicata and Bugula sp. in June. During August, Balanus amphtrite and anthozoans were dominant recruiters, and a serpulid worm, Hydroides ezoensis in October. There was a clear specific recruiting period of sessile faunas depending on their reproduction cycles in a sheltered embayment like Jangmok Bay.
