The comprehensive master plan in November 2010 on Saemangeum internal development has been released, and there is a need for complementary measures related to in-situ monitoring methods in order to acquire water temperature (T) and salinity (S) data. Thus, these data are monitored and analyzed by Korea Rural Community Corporation continuously. The purposes of current study are to evaluate the distributions of seasonal T and S, sigma-t, and stratification parameter and to compare annual stratification system in 2011 and 2012. To achieve these objectives, monthly vertical changes of T, S, and sigma-t, which are reproduced by a kriging technique, have been analyzed. In summer, the temperature difference between surface and bottom layers varies from 2 to $3^{\circ}C$, and the stratification of T is considerably weak. The stratification of S occurs abruptly within depth of EL. (-)5 to EL. (-)10 m. Therefore, stratification is induced by sudden increasing of water inflow amount due to a localized downpour during the rainy season, and these stratification processes are strongly influenced by inflowing a fresh water from watersheds in estuary environment.

In order to understand the seasonal and geographical characteristics of environmental factors and distribution of Escherichia coli by salinity gradient due to precipitation, we investigated abiotic and biotic factors during four seasons from February 2013 to November 2015. The study area was divided into three different zones based on salinity gradient and geo-oceanographic characteristics. During the study period, water temperature, salinity, Chlorophyll a, and secchi-depth varied in the range of $8.5-26.1^{\circ}C$, 13.5-34.4 psu, $0.4-74.0{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$, and 0.5-10.0 m, respectively. Salinity was low at Zone I, which was influenced by water flux from Tae-hwa River, especially in 2014. Salinity was gradually increased (one-way ANOVA; p < 0.05) toward Zone III located offshore of the bay. The highest colony form of E. coli was detected at Zone I. E. coli maintained a relatively low level at Zone III during all seasons. E. coli was correlated with transparency (r = -0.36; p < 0.05) and salinity (r = -0.53; p < 0.01), implying that those parameters might play important roles in the proliferation of E. coli. These results indicated that E. coli were strongly affected by frequent rain (< 50 mm) around inner stations in Ulsan Bay of Korea.

In order to find out the environmental factors influencing the catch of fyke nets in the coastal waters Yosu, the oceanographic factors, i.e., the waters temperature and the salinity were observed respectively from April to November in 1999, and each of them was compared with the catch of common mullet, Mugil cephalus by fyke net. The results obtained are summerized as follows : 1. The water temperature was ranged from 13.0 to $25^\circ$C and water temperature increased from April to August and decreased on September to November. 2. The range salinity in the fishing grounds was from 28.6 to 33.8$\textperthousand$, and salinity was high from April to June. From July, however, the salinity decreased to continue a low value still september. 3. The catches of common mullet caught by funnel net were the highest in may and the smallest in November. The ranges of optimum water temperature for the funnel nets fishing was 15.0 to $16.0^\circ$C, the ranges of optimum salinity for fishing varied between from 32.6 to 33.8$\textperthousand$.

To examine the movement of the freshwater discharged artificially into the estuary during ebbing period in the Keum River dike we observed surface salinity variations in three stations along the estuary channel in May 1998 and July 1997 and surface temperature and salinity along the ferry-route between Kunsan and Changhang during eighteen days in July 1999. Based upon the typical features of observed salinity variation, we analyzed the excursion and decay processes of the discharged water. When freshwater is discharged, the low-salinity water forms strong salinity front over the entire estuary width, which basically moves forth and back by tidal modulation along the channel, producing the sudden change of surface salinity with the front passage. Salinity distribution along the channel, which is deduced from time variation of mean salinity over the estuary width, after one tidal period from gate operation suggests that diluted low-salinity water is trapped to the front and surface salinity increases gradually toward the upstream region. This frontal distribution of salinity is interpreted to be produced by the sudden gate operation supplying and stopping of freshwater within about two hours. Daily repeat of freshwater discharge produces separation (double front) or merge between decaying and new-generated fronts depending on dike-gate opening time, and the front decays with salinity increasing if the freshwater supply is stopped more than two days. In addition, the observed fluctuations and deviations in surface salinity variation is explained in terms of the differences of fronts intensity, their transition time and temporal salinity front running along the channel, which can be generated due to artificial gate-operation for the discharging time and water volume in the estuary dike.

The newly developed eight-directional collector was installed at five different locations in the coastal area after its functionality was verified through experiments. Based on the airborne chloride amount measured for one year, the distribution characteristics of airborne chlorides were examined by direction. In terms of direction, a large amount of airborne chlorides was collected, not only in the direction facing the coast but also in the opposite direction. The amount measured at effective three directions was 1.5 times that measured at non-effective three directions.

Salinity does not generally affect sound speed because it shows very small variations in the ocean. However, low salinity water appears in the Western Sea of Jeju Island every summer so that sound speed and sound propagation can change near sea surface. We calculated Sound Speed Profile (SSP) using vertical profiles of temperature and salinity, which were averaged over years of normal salinity and low salinity (<28 psu) from 30 years (1980~2009) at 3 sites of Korea Oceanographic Data Center (KODC). As a result, sound speed variation by low salinity alone was -5.36 m/s at sea surface and -1.35 m/s at 10m depth for low salinity environments. Gradient of SSP was positive down to 5 m depth due to decrease of sound speed near surface, leading formation of haline channel. Simulation of acoustic propagation using a ray model (Bellhop) confirmed the haline channel. Haline channel has formed 4 times while hydrostatic channel controlled by only pressure has formed 9 times for 30 years. The haline channel showed larger critical angles of rays than hydrostatic channel. Haline channel was also formed at some sites among 20 measurement sites in low salinity water mass which appeared on August $1^{st}$ 2010.

The juvenile gobiidae, Tridentiger trigonocephatus were reared for 40 days under the salinity ranges between 0 and 33.6$\textperthousand$ to examine the effects of salinity on the survival, growth and oxygen consumption rates of the fish. Survival rates were significantly declined for the fish reared under 3.4$\textperthousand$, and daily growth rates were also reduced below 6.7$\textperthousand$ Body length and weight of gobiids reared below 6.7$\textperthousand$ were smaller than those reared above 13.4$\textperthousand$. Oxygen consumption rates in the salinity conditions $\leq$ 10.1$\textperthousand$ were significantly reduced with decreasing salinity. This study reveled that low salinity reduced survival, growth and oxygen consumption rates of the juvenile gobiids suggesting potential influence on the natural mortality of Tridentiger trigonocephalus in the estuarine areas where experience the extreme salinity fluctuations in Korean waters.

This paper describe on the transmitting/receiving functions and the monitoring effects for the telemetry system which is designed to monitor the environmental condition of a culturing fishery ground inside a bay. The telemetry experiments were carried out by the telemetry system which constructed with the sea water temperature/salinity measuring sensor and telesounder at culturing fishery ground located in the coast of Sangyang-Myon, Kyongsangnam-Do province from October, 1995 to May, 1996. The results of this experiment showed that the developed telemetry system could be used for monitoring the sea water temperature/salinity and the distribution of fish in culturing fishery ground.
