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.

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.

미국 Utah주의 huntington 화력발전소에서 냉각수를 사용하고 버리는 염분농도가 4mmhos/cm 정도로 높아 자연하천으로 그대로 방류 시킬 수 없으며, 미 환경법에 따라 안전처리후 방류할 수 있다. 따라서 이 염분발생 처리방법의 하나로 보리, 밀, 옥수수, 감자 그리고 알팔파등 사료작물의 관개용수로 이용할 수 있는 방법이 장기간 시험연구되고 있다. 현재로서는 이 방법이 경제적인 것으로 평가되고 있으나 장기적으로 이 염분폐수로 인한 토양의 성질변화 작용의 생산량 감소등에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위해서 1977년에 시작하여 8년 연속 연구사업으로 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 지난 8년간(1977~1984년)의 관측.조사자료를 이용하여 염분 관개용수가 장기적으로 생산량 추정과 계획예측을 위한 자발성과 토양수분변화를 추정할 수 있는 모형에 의하여 연구한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. EC 4mmhos/cm의 염분 관개용수로 8년간 장기간 추출한 결과, 추출용수의 양에 관계내 염분축적은 예상보다 서서히 진행되었으며, 이 염분축적이 작물의 생산량 감소의 주원인은 아니었다. 2. 지난 2년간의 관측 결과, 염분 관개용수에 함유된 10ppm정도의 요소가 작물 특히 보리, 옥수수, 감자등의 생산량 감소의 주원인 것으로 판단된다. 염분용수 진개구에는 하천수 보다 20배가 많은 요소가 축적돼 있었으며, 이는 요소가 토양내에 잘 침투되며, 토양으로 부터 요소를 용달시키려는 염분을 용달시킬 때 보다 후러씬 더 많은 용달용수를 필요로함을 뜻한 작물들의 면요소성을 구명하기위한 모형개발이 요구된다. 3. 염분관개용수로 관개할 때 보리, 옥수수, 감자등의 작물 생산량과 풍작물 생산량은 현저하게 감소하였다. 보리, 옥수수의 염분용수에 의한 생산량과 하천수에 의한 생산량과의 비는 풍건물의 경우 0.6, 매물의 경우 0.5였으며 감자의 경우는 0.2이하였다. 4. 염분용수 관개구와 하천수 관개구의 모든작물에서 풍건물 생산량과 축배량 사이에는 강한 직선적인 관계를 보였다. 보리, 감자의 작물 생산량과 축배량사이에도 선형의 관계가 성립되었으나, 밀과 옥수수의 매물 생산량과 축배량사이에는 곡선적인 관계를 나타내었다.

감조하천 구간에서의 수면경사 및 유속분포 등 흐름특성은 조석의 영향으로 자연하천과 달리 매우 복잡하고 다양한 형태를 보이고 있다. 또한 하류에서 상류로 조류 유입시 해침으로 인한 염분도 상승으로 수서생물은 담수종에서 기수종 및 해수종으로 천이되고 있다. 섬진강 하구의 대표적인 수서생물인 재첩은 염분도 상승에 따라 폐각을 닫고 모래층으로 이동하는 특성을 보이고 있다. 이러한 관점에서 본 연구는 감조하천 구간에서의 취수장의 취수 규모에 따른 염분도 변화특성을 살펴보고, 하구 수서생물생활환경에 적합한 염분도를 유지할 수 있는 합리적인 취수장 운영방안을 마련하는 데 있다. 이를 위해 과거 취수장 상류의 유출량에 따른 취수규모별 하구 염분도 변화 특성을 분석하였다.

This study investigated survival rate, osmorality, respiration, excretion and histological response with change of salinity in the abalone, Haliotis discus hannai at $24{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. Survival rate was 100% at 37.0 psu whereas all died after 6 days at 19.8 psu and within 24 hours at 12.8 psu, respectively. The 7-day median lethal limit (7day-$LS_{50}$) was 20.1-28.2 psu with confidence limits of 20.1-28.2 psu. Respiration rate in low salinity groups was lower than control group, but ammonia excretion rate was more increased in comparison to control group. Osmorality was acclimated within 1 hour at above of 26.8 psu but others could not acclimated at each experimental salinity. Histological observation of foot muscle showed hemolymph sinus distension, epidermal destruction and increased infiltration of phagocytes.

The effects of salinity on oxygen consumption, operculum movement number and ammonia nitrogen excretion were examined in cultured tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus (total length 10$\pm$1.0 cm, total weight 17.3$\pm$4.2 g). The fish were exposured to certain salinities (0, 3, 9, 15, 21, 27 and 32 psu) step by step with 3 psu$\cdot$d$^{-1}$ and changed rapidly from certain salinity to another salinity. The oxygen consumption of the fish which was transferred step by step showed increasing tendency in the range of 3 $\sim$ 27 psu, but markedly appeared very low value at 32 psu. The tolerance limit in tilapia by salinity change without acclimation was shown 23.3 psu from 96-h TL$_{50}$. The oxygen consumption, operculum movement and ammonia nitrogen excretion of fish which was transferred rapidly from certain salinity to each salinity (0, 9, 15, 21 and 32 psu) showed a changing point at 15 psu; they showed increasing and/or decreasing pattern before 15 psu, and showed decreasing pattern after 15 psu. From these results, it was concluded that the appropriate salinity without physiological change for Java tilapia was below 15 psu.

해안가에 건설되는 구조물 표면은 해풍에 의해 직접적인 영향을 받는다. 해풍에 섞여 날아오는 염분이 건축물 외부에 흡착하여 시간이 경과함에 따라 내부로 확산 이동하게 되어, 콘크리트 내부의 철근이 부식하게 된다. 따라서, 해안가 구조물의 비래염분에 대한 열화 예측을 보다 정확하게 조사하기 위해서는 실환경하에 작용하는 기상요인, 지형, 구조물의 형태 등 대상지역의 다양한 조건을 정밀하게 반영하여 정해야 할 필요가 있다. 풍향, 풍속, 온도, 습도등의 다양하게 변화하는 기상요인에서 각 요인에 따라 발생되는 비래염분량과의 상관성을 분석하기 위해서는 고정된 실험인자에 따른 지속적인 실험이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구는 비래염분 포집기 개발 및 인공비래염분 발생장치(이하, 인공장치) 개발과 장치 성능의 정확성 향상을 위한 기초 실험 실시에 목표를 하였고, 또한 개발된 비래염분 포집기를 실 환경에 설치하여 각 실험인자에 따른 실환경에서의 비래염분 포집량을 분석하고자 한다.

Salinity distribution in estuary and tidal river is presented by many parameters including tidal forcing, river discharge and geographical effect. Understanding the characteristics of salinity structure is very important in the aspect of water-quality, ecological, and engineering viewpoint. Field measurement was carried out to study the distribution of salinity structure at 2 surface stations at Yeomha channel in the Han River estuary. The results of short- and long-term salinity change according to short and long tidal variability is investigated. For analyzing the axial salinity distribution at Yeomha channel, the salinity data from NFRDI is used in this study. The relationship between freshwater discharge and salinity distribution is represented through the nonlinear regression equation. The empirical equation for salt intrusion length scale, including tide, river discharge, and topographical effect is presented. As the comparison of empirical equation and existing data collected in study area, the characteristic of salt intrusion length and salinity distribution is changed by tide, fresh water, and geographical effect.

We investigated physiological responses of hybrid striped bass (Morone chrysops ${\times}$ M. saxatilis) to gradual changes of salinity from 33 psu to 0 psu and from 0 psu to 33 psu in two separate trials. Gradual salinity change was not accompanied by an increase in cortisol level in the plasma however, the glucose level in the plasma increased. $Na^{+}$, $Cl^{-}$ and osmolality significantly increased with rising salinity, but they did not change with dropping salinity. The hybrid striped bass adjusted effectively without stress to the gentle change of salinity.

The optimum salinity and the effects of rapid salinity change on oxygen consumption and ammonia nitrogen excretion were examined in River Puffer Takifugu obscrus (total length 9.5$\pm$0.9 cm, total weight 18.7$\pm$5.4 g). Fish examined at the different transfer medium salinity (2, 12, 22 and 32 psu) after 2 months of acclimation period at each salinities. The routine metabolic rates of River puffer are shown as parabola equation, $Y=-0.0873X^2+0.6384X-0.690$ for oxygen consumption and $Y=-2.1667X^2+7.1672X+31.999$ for ammonia nitrogen excretion with the salinity medium at 2, 12. 22 and 32 psu. The oxygen consumption and ammonia nitrogen excretion of River puffer trans-ferred to the low salinity medium (2 and 12 psu) showed significantly difference in each salinities rearing groups than to salinity of 22 and 32 psu. Fish has a diurnal rhythm in relate to feeding, it was showed that the peak of oxygen consumption appeared at 3 hours after feeding and the ammonia nitrogen excretion rate reached maximum 4 hours after feeding. These results may indicate that the optimum salinity for rearing of River puffer is 22 psu based on growth and feed conversion ratio. The rapid change of medium salinity had no effects on the oxygen consumption and nitrogen excretion in River puffer based on this experiment.
