  • Distribution characteristics of water masses, dissolved inorganic and organic nutrients were investigated in the southern part of the East Sea of Korea in September, 2011. On the basis of the vertical profiles of temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen, water masses in the study area were divided into 4 major groups, such as WM (water mass)-I, WM-II, WM-III, WM-IV. Their characteristics were similar to Tsushima Surface Water (TSW), Tsushima Middle Water (TMW), North Korea Cold Water (NKCW) and East Sea Proper Water (ESPW), respectively. In the vertical profiles of dissolved nutrients, dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) concentrations were highest in the WM-IV, followed by WM-III, WM-II, WM-I. On the contrary, distribution of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) and dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) were highest in the WM-I, followed by WM-II, WM-III, WM-IV. Although the DIN : DIP ratio in all of the water masses was similar to Redfield ratio(16), the DIN : DIP ratio in mixed layer was about 5.3, indicating that inorganic nitrogen is the limiting factor for the growth of phytoplankton. However, the DON proportion in dissolved total nitrogen (DTN) was about 70% in the mixed layer where inorganic nitrogen is limiting factor. Thus, enriched DON may play an important source of the nutrient for the growth of phytoplankon in the East Sea.

  • The long-term water-quality change of Asan Bay by the influx of polluted disposal water was predicted through a simulation with an Eco-hydrodynamic model. Eco-hydrodynamic model is composed of a multi-level hydrodynamic model to simulate the water flow and an ecosystem model to simulate water quality. The water quality simulation revealed that the COD(Chemical Oxygen Demand), dissolved inorganic nitrogen(DIN) and dissolved inorganic phosphorus(DIP) are increased at 5 stations for the subsequent 6 months after the influx of the effluent. COD, DIN and DIP showed gradual decreases in concentration during the period of one to two years after the increase of last 6 months and reached steady state for next three to ten years. Concentration levels of COD, DIN, and DIP showed the increase by the ranges of $11{\sim}67%$, $10{\sim}67%$, and $0.5{\sim}7%$, respectively, which represents that the COD and DIN are the most prevalent pollutants among substances in the effluent through the sewage treatment plant. The current water quality of Asan Bay based on the observed COD, TN and TP concentrations ranks into the class II of the Korean standards for marine water quality but the water quality would deteriorate into class III in case that the disposal water by the sewage plant is discharged into the Bay.

  • To identify characteristics of the water quality at Goseong bay, we analyzed long term monitoring data collected at surface and bottom water which was accumulated during the period of 1987~2009. The result showed that the waters of Goseong bay represented mesotrophic level that is based on chlorophyll-a, DIP and DIN and seasonal average of COD that indicates level by the COD criteria. This analysis can be translated that the waters is comparatively clean even though the waters is in the closed bay that slowly diffuses influx mass. We also did the time series analysis, correlation analysis and regression analysis on the moving average of the water parameter at Goseong bay. According to the results, DIP showed a increasing trend as time passed while DIN was on a decreasing trend under the same condition. In the waters of Goseong bay, the phyto-plankton growth was shown to be limited by DIN concentration. The chlrophyll-a was at the peak in August, at $4.60{\mu}g/L$. As the seasonal average and index were the highest in November, it was understood that the balance of nutrient at Goseong bay was dependent more on inner factors, ie, mass farming of aquatic species and release of bottom sediment rather than on inflow of fresh water. Accordingly, it is needed to consider the balance of nutrient like DIP and DIN to manage the water quality or estuaries at Goseong bay.

  • In order to elucidate the spatiotemporal variations of marine environmental parameters, we collected seawater samples in the south-western region of the East Sea in May, August, and November 2012 and February 2013. The concentrations of dissolved inorganic nutrients (dissolved inorganic nitrogen, phosphorus, and silicate) in surface seawater during the summer season were lower than those during autumn and winter seasons, which the mixed layer is deeper. The low nutrient concentration in spring and summer seasons seems by consumption of dissolved inorganic nutrients by phytoplankon photosynthesis (high chlorophyll a concentration) and the limited supply of dissolved inorganic nutrients from subsurface layer having high nutrients. The low nutrient concentration during spring season seems to be related to the limited supply of dissolved inorganic nutrients from land and subsurface layer because the concentration of chlorophyll a was low. The DIN:DIP ratio was a wide range of average $15.6{\pm}13.6$ in the surface seawater compared to that of average $14.8{\pm}4.2$ in the bottom seawater during sampling periods. The dissolved inorganic nitrogen might act as a limiting factor of the growth of phytoplankton because the DIN:DIP ratio (on average $8.35{\pm}4.67$) was low during the spring season.

  • We investigated the distribution of dissolved nutrients, phytoplankton community structure and utilization of nitrogen compounds by dominant species in the southwestern part of East Sea in September, 2014. Dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) were lower in the surface layer, and concentrations were increased with depth. Dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) and dissolved organic phosphorus were the opposite of dissolved inorganic nutrients. Although DIN DIP ratio in all of the water masses was higher than Redfield ratio (16), DIN : DIP ratio in mixed layer was about 2, indicating that inorganic nitrogen is the limiting factor for the growth of phytoplankton. In particular, DON proportion in dissolved total nitrogen was about 88 % in the mixed layer where inorganic nitrogen is limiting factor. The dominant species Chaeotceros debilis and Prorocentrum minimum were able to grow using DIN as well as DON such as urea and amino acids. Therefore, DON utilization of phytoplankton may play a role as a survival strategy in the DIN-limited conditions of East Sea.

  • This study estirmted the appropriate pollutant load reduction from point sources in Jinhae Bay, Korea, using an eco system model. The results of COD values in the inner part of the bay obtained through the simulation by ecosystem model were greater than 3.0mg/L, and exceeded the limits of Korean Coastal Water Quality Grade III. Engineering countermeasures to reduce the $70\sim90%$ of all land based pollution load or organic and inorganic material loads from point sources by more than 50% were required to keep the COD levels below 2 mg/L. The reduction loads is 5,632kg/day of COD, 481kg/day of DIP and 7,991 kg/day of DIN in case of the reduction of both the organic and nutrients. The estimated environmental currying capacity of that case is 13,112kg/day of COD, 206kg/day of DIP and 3,425kg/day of DIN to keep the COD levels below 2mg/L.

  • The variation of the dissolved inorganic nutrients were investigated four times per year in the costal area of Gunsan, Yellow Sea from 2001 to 2010. Water samples were collected at 10 stations and phsico-chemical parameters were analyzed including water temperature, salinity, suspended solids, dissolved oxygen, chemical oxygen demand, chlorophyll a and dissolved inorganic nutrients. The average of dissolved inorganic nitrogen(DIN) for ten years at Gunsan area showed similar concentration between surface and bottom. The average of DIN at surface was 0.421mg/L (0.198~0.846mg/L) and bottom was 0.344mg/L(0.148~0.717mg/L). The highest value of annual average of DIN at surface was 0.846mg/L in 2002 and the lowest value was 0.198mg/L in 2010. The percentage of ammonia, nitrite and nitrate for the average DIN of 10 years showed 27%, 3% and 70% which showed most of DIN was nitrate. Dissolved inorganic phosphate(DIP) for ten years at Gunsan area showed similar concentration between surface and bottom and DIP was decreasing from 2003 to 2010. The average of DIP of 10 years was 0.024mg/L and annual average 0.021mg/L in 2008, 0.007mg/L in 2009 and 0.008mg/L in 2010 which showed decreasing pattern from 2007 to 2010. The average of DIN/DIP ratio from 2002 to 2010 was 6.0(3.2~10.1) at surface and 4.6(2.6~7.0) at bottom. The average value of dissolved inorganic silicate from 2004 to 2010 showed 0.372mg/L at surface layer and 0.352mg/L at bottom layer and was on decreased from 2006 to 2010. The Spearman's correlation analysis was carried out to knowrelation among the salinity and dissolved inorganic nutrients at the surface and bottom layer. The correlation factor of DIN was -0.72, DIP was -0.46 and dissolved inorganic silicate was -0.63 at surface layer and DIN was -0.70, DIP was -0.44 and dissolved inorganic silicate was -0.57 at bottom layer. The dissolved inorganic nutrients at the nearshore of Gunsan was affected from the freshwater discharge of Geum river. Especially, a lot of DIN flowed into the nearshore of Gunsan from Guem river. The concentration of dissolved inorganic nutrients at Gunsan showed high at station 1, 2 and 3 and there was a little concentration differences according to the cruise time. The concentration of dissolved inorganic nutrients showed high value at the station 1, 2, 3 which exist nearshore of Gunsan city and it means these stations mainly affected by Geum river and Gunsan city. The annual average of dissolved inorganic nutrients showed gradually decreased from 2003 to 2010 and we need more research on this conditions.

  • 황해의 25개 조사정점의 표층수에 대한 해양환경요인 및 식물플랑크톤 현존량의 월별 조사결과를 종합하여 주성분분석(PCA)을 실시한 결과 주성분 I에서는 변화를 26.6% 설명할 수 있으며, 이중 질산질소가 가장 많이 기여하였고, 이어서 용존무기질소, 규산규소, 수온, 용존산소, 암모니아질소 순으로 기여 하고 있었다. 주성분 II에서는 20.3%를 설명 할 수 있으며, 이중 용존산소가 가장 많이 기여하였고 그 외 엽록소 a, 수온, 염분, 규산규소, 식물플랑크톤 현존량 순으로 기여 하였다. 주성분 III에서는 15.1%를 설명 할 수 있으며, 이중 인산인이 가장 많이 기여하였고 그 외 염분, 아질산질소, 수온, 용존산소, 질산질소, 용존무기질소 순으로 기여하였다. PCA에 이용된 항목 중 부유물질은 제외한 모든 항목은 주성분 I, II, III에 5%이하 유의수준에서 의미 있는 상관성이 있었다. 주성분 I은 질산성질소, 용존무기질소, 규산규소, 인산인과는 긍정적인 상관성(p<0.0001)을 갖고, 수온, 암모니아질소와는 부정적인 상관성을 보였다(p<0.001). 주성분 II에서는 용존산소, 엽록소 a, 식물플랑크톤 현존량은 긍정적 상관성을 나타내었고, 수온, 염분, 규산규소와는 부정적인 상관성을 보였으며(p<0.0001), 주성분 III에서는 염분, 수온, 질산질소, 용존무기질소, 식물플랑크톤 현존량과는 긍정적인 상관성(P<0.0001)을 나타내었고 인산인, 아질산질소, 용존산소는 부정적인 상관성을 나타내었다 (p<0.01). 공간적인 분포특성은 조사정점에 따라 항목별 결과에 대한 분산이 커서 일정한 특성을 도출하기가 어려운 상태이나 대체로 PCA II축을 기준으로 상부인 $1/4{\sim}2/4$분면에 북부와 중부의 조사정점이 위치하고 음의 방향인 $3/4{\sim}4/4$분면에 중부와 남부의 조사정점이 위치하고 있어 북측의 307선과 308선 및 중부의 309선과 310선 그리고 남측의 311선과 312선으로 구분되어지는데 그 중에서 태안반도의 연안역인 307선의 03점은 계절에 변화가 가장 커서 분산의 폭이 심한 상태로서 다른 조사정점들과 구분되어진다. 전반적으로 북측해역에서는 용존산소, 엽록소 a, 식물플랑크톤 현존량이 남측해역에 비해 상대적으로 많은 반면, 남측해역은 수온과 염분 및 규산규소가 높은 상태이었다. 북쪽인 307선과 308선은 연안역과 외해에서 상대적으로 영양염류가 높았으며, 중부인 309선과 310선은 연안역과 준 외해역인 07점과 09점에서 영양염류가 높았었고, 남부 해역인 311선과 312선에서는 연안역에서 영양염류가 상대적으로 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 즉 황해 동부는 연안역에서는 조석간만의 차가 심하고, 새만금 및 시호호등과 같은 대규모의 간척 매립으로 육상의 오염원이 자정작용을 거치지 못하고 직접 연안으로 유입되고 있는 실정이다. 또한 10여 년 전부터 육지의 모래부족으로 다량의 바다 모래가 채취되어 왔고 그 량이 점차 증가추세이며, 중부외해역에서는 각종 폐기물 투기로 점차 영양염류의 부하량이 증가되고 있어 특히 질소계와 인의 영양염류 농도가 높아지고 있는 추세이다. 시간적 변동특성은 전반적으로 순환하는 형태를 유지하고 있다. 2005년 2월에는 질산질소, 용존무기질소, 규산규소, 인산인, 용존산소가 높았었으며 4월로 접어들면서 항목 간에 분산되는 경향을 보이면서 수온, 엽록소 a 및 식물플랑크톤이 증가 하면서 해역에 따라 좌우로 분산되는 경향을 나타내었고 6월에는 아질산질소를 제외한 영양염류가 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 8월에는 6월에 비해 수온이 높아지고 규산규소, 질산질소, 용존무기질소 등이 약간 증가추세이었으며 10월로 접어들면서 증가추세가 더 높아졌었고 12월에는 질산질소, 용존무기질소, 규산규소, 인산인, 용존산소가 높아졌었다. 2006년 4월에는 2005년 4월에 비해 수온, 엽록소 a, 식물플랑크톤의 현존량이 높아져서 전년 동시기와 약간 다른 양상을 보이고 있었다. 즉 동계인 2월을 시작으로 반 시계 또는 시계 방향으로 순환하는 형태를 유지하고 있으며, 4월은 2개년 비교해 보았을 때 해마다 해양환경에 따라 그 순환 정도 및 형태가 다를 것으로 추정된다.

  • Salinity, DIN, DIP, DIN/DIP and indigenous algal assay were determined to estimate the limiting nutrient for phytoplankton growth in Gwangyang Bay, South Sea of Korea. Seawater samples were collected at surface and bot-tom water in 4 November 1999 (dry season) and 2 September 2000 (after heavy rain). In 4 November 1999, the salinity, DIN, DIP and DIN/DIP were 29.92 psu, 13.59 ${\mu}M$, 3.41 ${\mu}M$ and 4.14 respectively. In 2 September 2000, These values were 24.62 psu, 27.77 ${\mu}M$, 2.82 ${\mu}M$ and 9.79 respectively. The DIN and DIP concentrations in this study were higher than Deukryang, Yeoja and Gamak Bay, South Sea of Korea. Especially, DIP concentration was 8 times high compared to Deutryang, Yeoja and Gamak Bay. The main sources of nitrogen seem to be freshwater runoff from Somjin River and industrial wastewater. But, the main sources of phosphorus seem to be industrial wastewater around Gwangyang Bay. The limiting nutrient was nitrogen at all station in 4 November 1999. The limiting nutrient was also nitrogen in 2 September 2000 in spite of heavy rain observed because of relatively much volume of phosphorus sup-plied from point sources than nitrogen. In case of below 20 psu in salinity by heavy rain, the limiting nutrient willbe shift from nitrogen to phosphorus at some area of Somjin River estuary. But the limiting nutrient will be never shift to phosphorus throughout Gwangyang Bay, eastern coast of Yeoja and Dolsan because of much volume of phosphorus runoff from point source in coastal area of Gwangyang Bay.

  • This study explores ways to improve the actual conditions of ocean environment by conducting a comparative study on the current sea-water quality of Busan Metropolitan City and Incheon Metropolitan City that are representative sea port cities in Korea. The indices used to evaluate the sea-water quality include water temperature, salt content, PH, DO, COD, DIN, T-N, DIP, T-P, Sio2-Si, floating materials, and Chi-a. The findings of the analysis can be summarized as follows: First, ocean environmental states of Busan Metropolitan City and Incheon Metropolitan City are getting increasingly worse between the year of 2000 and 2003. Second, T-N, DIP and T-P have been main contributors in worsening ocean environmental states of Busan Metropolitan City and Incheon Metropolitan City.
