To examine distribution of the Zostera species growing naturally in Ulleungdo, scuba diving surveys using ships were conducted along the coast and inside the harbors of the island at the end of September 2019. In areas of seagrass occurrence, environmental factors such as nutrient concentrations in water column and sediment pore water, salinity, and sediment organic content were also analyzed. Zostera caulescens meadows appeared in the relatively deep waters (14-24 m MSL) of Cheonbu-ri, Jeodong-ri, Sadong-ri, and Namyang-ri in Ulleungdo, and the total seagrass coverage was approximately 4.9 ha. Approximately 0.9 ha of Zostera marina meadow was found at the depths of 3-5 m MSL within Hyeonpo-hang in Hyeonpo-ri. The average shoot density and biomass of Z. caulescens were 121.9±9.7 shoot m^-2 and 99.0±13.2 gDW m^-2, respectively, with no significant differences by location. The average shoot density and biomass of Z. marina were 193.8±18.8 shoot m^-2 and 102.6±6.8 gDW m^-2, respectively. The nutrient concentrations in the sediment pore water and sediment organic content in the seagrass meadows in Ulleungdo were lower than those in eelgrass meadows on the southern and eastern coasts of Korea. These results will provide useful basic information for the marine protected species, Z. caulescens and Z. marina, and for the conservation of the waters of Ulleungdo, which has been designated as a marine protected area.

Effect of suppression for zoosporangial germination and mycelial growth of Phyto­phthora capsici causing red pepper fruit rot, was carried out in vitro test by using $NH_4OH$ and $KNO_2$, as ammonium/ammonia, nitrite/nitrous acid and $CaCl_2$, as calcium ion. Results of in vitro tests with $NH_4OH$, $KNO_2$, and $CaCl_2$, mol solutions demonstrated that zoosporangial germination of P. capsici was inhibited about 15 to 50% compared with control, according to $NH_3$, HNO as nonionized form and $Ca^{+2}$ ions. Ammonia concentration$(NH_3)$ was proportionally increased by high pH level and mol concentration, whereas low pH and high mol concentration showed rather higher concentration of $HNO_2$. Ammonia were more toxic at pH 8 than at pH 7 under the same concentration, while nitrous acid$(HNO_2)$ was more toxic than at pH 8. The zoosporangial germination inhibition in the ammonium/ammonia and nitrite/nitrous acid solutions demonstrated that $NN_3$, and $HNO_2$, were primarily responsible for the inhibition at lower concentration and mor" toxic by increasing concentration. $Ca^{+2}$ ions showed that zoosporangial germination was inhibitory by high pH level and increasing mol concentration in comparison with buffer conlrol. pH levels affected to mycelial growth of the fungus, and especially, high pH caused rather retardation of mycelial growth. There was no definite inhibitory response of mycelial growth at various degree concentrations of the toxicant solutions.

A bacterial strain AE-1-3, isolated from soil and wastewater identified as Pseudomonas strain, removed $NH_4^+\;and\; NO_3^-$ simultaneously in anaerobic cultivation in a medium containing $0.1\%\;NH_4NO_3\;and\;3.0\%$ glucose. The strain removed $NH_4^+\;,\;NO_3^-\;and\;NO_2^-$ completely in 15 days of anaerobic cultivation. Though N03- removed completely, $33\%\;of\;NH_4^+$ remained in 15 day of incubation in $1\%$ glucose and $0.1\%\;NH_4NO_3$ medium. The bacterium could remove $0.1\%\;NH_4NO_3$ completely in a short time by addition of $Cu^{2+},\;Zn^{2+},\;Sn^{2+}\;in\;0.5\%$ glucose medium. By chaning the metal concentration, $0.3\%\;NH_4NO_3$ could be removed completely.

종래의 산업폐수 처리기술로는 중금속 함유 폐수에 수용성의 금속염을 첨가하여 가성소다 혹은 소석회를 이용하여 pH를 조정하고 고분자 응집제를 첨가하여 금속의 수산화물을 생성시켜 이를 부상 혹은 침전시켜 Sludge화하여 제거하는 방법이 주로 사용되고 있다. 그 외 질소, 인, 유기물이 함유된 폐수의 경우에는 Biological Oxidation Techniques, 활성탄 흡착방식이 주로 채택되고 있다.[1-3] 이러한 폐수처리기술은 화학약품 사용량이 과다하고 이는 Sludge 생성량을 증대하고 2차 폐수처리가 필요로 하는 경우가 많고, 처리장이 면적이 넓어야 하고 대용량의 Sludge 제거창치가 필요하여 고비용의 처리공정으로 문제점을 가지고 있다.[2-3] 이에 본 연구에서는 이러한 기존 기술의 문제점을 보완할 수 있고 기존 기술로는 완벽하게 처리하기 곤란한 악성 폐수들에 대한 새로운 고도처리기술로 초전도 마그네트를 이용한 고구배 자기분리기술에 대한 기초연구를 하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 고구배 자기분리 시스템은 무헬륨 전도냉각방식으로 자기분리를 위해 사용한 필터는 SUS 430 재질의 메쉬 형태로 제작하여 실험하였다. 또한, 자기분리 처리를 위한 전처리 공정으로는 응집제를 첨가하여 자기분리 효율을 높이고자 하였다. 자기분리 처리대상수로는 포항제철에 압연 강판에 사용되는 냉각수를 대상으로 자기분리 처리에 대한 효과를 실험하였다. 또한, 자기분리에 대한 특성을 평가하기 위해 강자성의 $Fe_3O_4$ 미세자성분말을 첨가하여 처리수내의 들어있는 유기물질에 대해 자기분리 자장 및 유속에 대한 처리효율을 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 자기분리 처리는 1~6 Tesla에서 자기필터는 디스크 형태로 다층으로 연속적으로 적층하였으며, 처리유속은 1~4 l/min으로 하였다. 고농도인 처리폐수를 자가분리 인가 자장에 따라 처리하여 고농도에서는 70%, 저농도에서는 98 %까지 처리되었다. 또한, 자기분리용 필터는 SUS 430 재질의 mesh 망을 사용하였으며 인가자장 및 유속변화에 대한 실험 결과 탁도 및 농도는 필터 크기의 영향은 거의 차이가 없었으며 단지 인가자장 및 유속에 따라서 지수적으로 감소하였다. 자기분리된 용액 내 $Fe_3O_4$ 입도 분석 결과 자기분리 이전에 분포하던 $10\sim20\;{\mu}m$의 입자는 거의 제거되었으며 2 ${\mu}m$ 이하의 입자들은 실험 횟수에 따라 점점 직경이 작은 쪽으로 분포가 좁아졌으며, 마그네타이트의 자화율을 분석한 결과 약 0.8 Tesla에서 포화 되었으며 처리수의 탁도 및 농도가 자장에 따라 감소하는 것으 알 수 있었다.

Inter- and intra-specific differences in removal activities, filtering rates (FR) and production of feces-and pseudo-feces (PF) between a native freshwater bivalve in Korea, Anodonta woodiana Lea and Unio douglasiae Griffith et Pidgeon, were compared using a continuous removal of organic matters (CROM) system. The CROM system comprised five steps; input of polluted water, control of water flow, mussel treatment, analysis of water quality and discharge of clean water. The study was designed to compare the removal activity of organic matters between A. woodiana and U. douglasiae, and the intra-specific differences between density and length in A. woordiana. Results clearly indicate that two kinds of mussels had obvious removal activities of seston in the eutrophic reservoir. First, if both are similar in shell length, there were no significant inter-specific differences in removal activity between A. woordiana and U. douglasiae (P>0.5), but FRs of U. douglasiae was relatively high due to low ash-fee dry weight. Second, if both are same in animal density, the smaller mussels (1$\sim$2 years old) showed a higher filtering rate and production of feces- and pseudo-feces and less release of ammonium than the larger mussels. Third, if both are same in biomass, FRs and PF of mussels were higher in the low-density tank than the high-density tank, While the Concentration of $NH_4$-N and $PO_4$-P released WRS similar to each other (P>0.5). Therefore, these results suggest that CROM system using a young bivalve A. woordiana can be applied to control the nuisance seston in eutrophic lake system, if a relevant species and density were selected. Additional pilot tests to optimize the age and density of domestic bivalves were needed for the generalization of CROM operation.

In this study, the use of purge & trap GC-MS technique for determination of methylmercury in sediment samples was described. The method detection limit of the method was determined as 0.06 ng/g and the recovery of the method was $102{\pm}11.4%$, with precisions better than 11.2%. The method was validated by analysis of CRMs such as ERM CC580 (estuarine sediment) and IAEA 405 (sediment). Additionally, the performance of the method was tested on river sediment samples and the analytical results were compared with those of the GC-CVAFS, which has been widely used for methylmercury analysis.

Typhoon and neap tide on Cochlodinium polykrikoides bloom and water temperature on disappearance of C. polykrikoides bloom were investigated to elucidate the outbreak mechanism of C. polykrikoides blooms at Naro and Namhae coastal area in South Sea of Korea. The first observation of C. polykrikoides blooms were observed when thermocline was disappeared by typhoon, tide, etc. The first blooms of C. polykrikoides were observed on neap tide or before one day from neap tide in 1996-1998 and 2000. However, thermocline was disappeared by typhoon in 1994 and 1999, the first blooms were observed early 12-30 day than 1996-1998 and 2000. The main reason of disappearance of C. polykrikoides blooms after typhoon on 1997-2000 seems to be other environmental change by typhoon rather than low water temperature. In the future, the first C. polykrikoides bloom will be appear around the first neap tide of latter part of August with breaking down of thermocline, but if the thermocline be collapsed by typhoon in July, the C. polykrikoides bloom will be appear at beginning of August. The outbreak of C. polykrikoides blooms will be explain as follows: The vegetative cells, which was germinated by environmental change or already exist in surface water at low level, input to the surface water, and then nutrients and trace metals which were suppled from out side of C. polykrikoides bloom area inflow to surface. The vegetative cells are growth by the nutrients and trace metals at suitable environmental conditions e.g. water temperature, salinity, and sufficient light.

For the micropropagation, node explants of cassava were cultured in liquid MS medium with various concentrations of cytokinins on a rotary shaker (100 rpm) for 2 weeks. The adventitious roots and shoots from the explants were differentiated more efficiently in liquid medium than in solid. But root formation was not inhibited in medium with BAP and kinetin at low concentration (＞0.05 mg 1/sup -1/), while in medium added with BAP and zeatin at high level (＜0.25 mg 1/sup -1/), it was inhibited by callus forming on cut end of the cuttings. However, all of plantlets grown in liquid medium for more than 2 weeks showed symptoms of hyperhydricity. The plantlets grown in liquid medium were transferred into culture bottles filled with fine sand or artificial soil (pitmoss：perlite：vermiculite, 1：1：1 v/v) wetted with half strength of Knop's solution. After transplanted to culture bottles, some of vitriscent leaves were defoliated and new leaves were normally formed from shoot apex. Most of plantlets (＞95%) were hardened-off successfully only in culture bottles with fine sand, and grew into 3-5 cm seedlings possessing 4-6 nodes after 4 weeks. Thus, the mass propagation of cassava on medium containing cytokinin could be established based on the suspension culture using node explants.

Non-point source pollutants and high-concentration livestock wastewater are reported as major factor of water pollution in water system and wet-land. So, LID is suggested as a method to manage of them. wet-lands is presented as effective method for management of NPS from agriculture and livestock farm area based on various NPS reduction mechanism. In this research, the application of wet-lands was evaluated based on monitoring and modeling of agriculture and livestock farm in J city, Jeollabuk-do. As a resutl, EMC during rainfall event was found to be about 27 times higher than dry season based on a BOD. indicating that the management of non-point pollutants is urgent. Modeling-based wet-land reduction efficiency was BOD 57.5%, TN 48.9% and Tp 64.2%. However, removal efficiency of wet-land tends to decrease during the winter and large amounts of rainfall runoff occur, it is necessary to manage of wet-land. Based on the results of this research, wet-land could be proposed as an alternative to stable management of NPS in agriculture and livestock farm area.

In this study, we developed a model to simulate the interaction between sediment and the overlying water. The model deals with water-sediment interaction in terms of the sedimentation of organic detritus from the pelagic zone into the benthic zone and the release of nutrients occurring in the reverse direction. The model was tested and verified by comparing the predicted release rates of phosphorus from the sediment in Osaka Bay with actual observed values. The results accurately reproduced the seasonal change in release rates. The results well represented seasonal change of the release rates. A long-term prediction of water and sediment quality was performed for the period from 1950 to 1999. Nutrient loads from land and the boundary conditions of 3-D baroclinic flows were season-adjusted. The model accurately reproduced the changing trends in phosphorus, nitrogen, and COD concentrations in Osaka Bay over a long period of time.
