The species composition and biomass of intertidal benthic algae at 12 widely dispersed stations representative of mid-western coast of Korea were studied. A total of 151 species of marine algae including 19 Cyanophyta, 20 Chlorophyta, 32 Phaeophyta and 80 Rhodophyta is listed. Three species were found at all 12 stations: Sargassum thunbergii, Stylonema alsidii and Gracilaria verrucosa. Biomass per unit area exhibited a wide range of variation, ranging from a low of 41 g dry $wt{\cdot}m^{-2}$ at both Paeksajang and Taechon to a high of 549 g dry $wt{\cdot}m^{-2}$ at Uihangri, the northernmost station of the study area. The latter value is higher than those reported from any other stations in western coast of Korea. Biomass was composed largely of Phaeophyta at nearly every station. Sargassum thunbergii was dominant over the study area. The distribution of Corallina spp., however, is disjunct, since those occur as dominant species in biomass at the northern stations and to a lesser extent at the southern stations, but are nearly absent from the middle part of the study area.

우리나라 동해는 남해나 서해와는 달리 수심이 깊고 해안선이 단조로우며 급경사를 이루는 곳이 많은 지형적 특징을 가지고 있으며, 연안역은 생산성이 높은 해역으로 수 많은 해양생물이 산란, 생육 및 섭식의 장소로 이용하고 있어 어장으로서 가치가 매우 높은 곳이다. 특히 동해 중부연안은 동한난류와 북한한류의 영향을 동시에 받는 해역으로서 한ㆍ난류성 어류 및 표 저층성 어류 등 다양한 어종이 서식하고 있는 곳으로 알려져 있다. (중략)

The species composition of cephalopods, consisting of 14 species and 19,789 individuals has been identified. The dominant species of the Yellow sea was Euprymna morsei. The dominant species of the northern part, middle part and southern part were Todarodes pacificus, Loligo spp. and Loligo beka.

조류는 조석현상에 따라 해수가 이동하기 때문에 일어나는 흐름으로 유향, 유속이 주기적으로 변하며, 일반적으로 반일의 주기를 가지고 있으나 장소에 따라 약 하루의 주기로 유동하는 곳도 있다. 조류에 의한 해수의 이동은 대량의 열량과 수량을 운반 할 뿐만 아니라 그 속에 함유된 각종 성분 및 기타 여러 가지 부유물을 운반함으로써 각종 성분의 분포, 어류의 회유, 번식 등에 관계가 있으며 어류생활에 직접, 간접적으로 많은 영향을 미치고 있다. 본 연구에서는 해수유동의 흐름이 활발한 서해 중부 연안의 관측자료를 이용하여 계절별 조류특성을 파악하였다.

Stomach contents of Hexagrammos otakii collected from mid-western coast of Korea were analysed to determine dietary composition, and ontogenetic and temporal dietary variations. Fish total length (TL) ranged between 5.6 and 32.4 cm. H. otakii primarily consumed amphipods, carid shrimps and teleosts, but also ate various benthic crustaceans and other invertebrates with small amounts. Carid shrimps and teleosts dominated the diet of both immature and mature fishes. Amphipods and polychaetes were secondary, and the former more frequently consumed by smaller specimens, while the latter was more abundant in the diets of larger fishes. DISTLM (distance-based linear modelling) showed diet composition of H. otakii varying significantly with TL, season and water temperature, but did not with maturity.

In the coastal region of Korea, historical tide harmonic constants were collected. Long-term tides and short-term tides observed by the KHOA were analyzed by a tide harmonic analysis method. Based on the harmonic constants, tidal characteristics such as tide asymmetry in Korean coastal waters were investigated. The harmonic constants obtained from the long-term tide data in the western coast have been used to show the relation between tide variation and reclamation project. $M_2$ amplitudes in the western coast have been decreased and $M_2$ phases were faster. $M_4$ amplitudes also were reduced and $M_4$ phases were faster in overall. In Mokpo and Kunsan tidal nonlinearity is relatively conspicuous. Overall, non-linearity of tidal currents is higher in the tidal channels flowing fast. The tidal non-linearity has increased by the development projects including large reclamation. The flood dominant characteristic in the northern and central part of Korean western coastal waters and the ebb dominant characteristic in the southern part have been intensified. The construction of Saemangeum sea dike has significantly changed the tidal characteristic in Korean western coastal waters.

This study was conducted to find out the effects of relationship between ocean conditions and snowfall when cold and dry continental air mass passes through the West Sea of Korea. Route of continental high atmospheric pressure can cause effect on snowfall at the west regions (Inchoen, Gunsan, Mokpo) of the Korean Peninsula. The continental high atmospheric pressure extend from the southern China to western coastal region of the Korean Peninsula during the December, and it extend from the north side of China through Bohai Sea and Yodong Peninsula to central area of the Korean Peninsula during the February. Therefore, more snowfall recorded in Incheon is higher during Feb. than Dec.. whereas Gunsan and Mokpo is the opposite. The heavy snowfall at the western coastal region of Korea was caused by loss of the heat from the ocean to air when it's higher than $100W/m^2$. the heavy snowfall was also observed when the arrangement of continental high atmospheric pressure and low pressure was high at the West and low at the East, which formed a front in West and when the wind blow from the North or North West at the speed of $4\sim8m/sec$. There were not much relation between salinity in the western sea and snowfall in the western coastal region of Korea.

Observations of internal waves in the southwest coastal waters of Korea have been made using a mooring measurement and satellite SAR together. From May 28 to May 30 in 2002, thermistor chains with RCM and ADCP mooring measurements were carried out at 10 kin west of Ocheong-Do, together with a CTD field sur-vey on the surrounding waters. Also, a SAR image was acquired on May 29 at 06:53. The data from the in-situ measurement show several internal wave packets passing through the mooring point and the SAR image reveals numbers of internal wave packets distributed around the point. Temporal and spatial characteristics of internal waves in the southwest coastal waters were analyzed using the data from mooring measurement, SAR image, and the K-dv equation. The internal waves are important phenomena in terms of physical oceanography and military as well as marine biology. They should be considered as one of important features in the southwest coastal waters in summer.

This study was conducted to find out the effects of relationship between ocean-meteorological factors and snowfall at Incheon, Gunsan and Mokpo when cold and dry continental air mass passed through the West Sea of Korea in winter. Mean snowfall from December to February showed the order of Gunsan (12.7 cm), Mokpo (9.0 cm) and Incheon (7.8 cm). In particular, the snowfall in the three regions showed the regional difference in December and February. It was well consistent with the extension of continental high. Extension of continental high can cause effect on snowfall at the west regions (Inchoen, Gunsan, Mokpo) of the Korean Peninsula. The continental high extended from the southern China to western coastal region of the Korean Peninsula in December, it extended from the northern China to central area of the Korean Peninsula in January. It also extended from the north side of China through Bohai Sea and Yodong Peninsula to central area of the Korean Peninsula in February. Therefore, more snowfall recorded in Incheon is higher in February than December whereas Gunsan and Mokpo is the opposite. The heavy snowfall at the three regions was caused by loss of the heat from the ocean to air when the heat loss was higher than 100 $W/m^2$. The heavy snowfall was also observed when the arrangement of continental high atmospheric pressure and low pressure was high at the west and low at the east, which formed a front in West and when the wind blow from the North or North West at the speed of 4${\sim}$8 m/sec.
