A systematic water quality survey was conducted in August, 2005 for a drinking water supply reservoir (the Jeolgol reseuoir located in an island), which is at an early stage of impoundment, to investigate the causes of water color deterioration of the reservoir and the clogging of filter beds of a water treatment plant. The reservoir shape was simple and its average depth was 5.5 m, increasing from upreservoir toward the downreservoir end near the dam. Dissolved oxygen (DO) and chloropllyll-a (chi-a) showed a large variation while water temperature had a smaller range. Transparency ranged from 0.6 to 0.9 m (average 0.7 m). The average value of turbidity was 9.3 NTU, ranging from 8.0 ${\sim}$ 12.1 NTU. The transparency and the turbidity appear to be affected by a combination of biological and non-biological factors. The poor transparency was explained by an increase of inorganic colloids and algal bloom in the reservoir. The blockage of the filter bed was attributed to the oversupply of phytoplanktons from the reservoir. The range and the average concentration of chi-a within the reservoir were 31.6 ${\sim}$ 258.9 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$, 123.6 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$ for the upper layer, and 17.0 ${\sim}$ 37.4 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$, 26.5 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$ for the bottom layer, respectively. A predominant species contributing the algal bloom was Dinophyceae, Peridinium bipes f. occultatum. The distribution of Peridinium spp. was correlated with chi-a concentrations. The standing crop of phytoplankton was highest in the upreservoir with $8.5\;{\times}\;103\;cells\;mL^{-1}$ and it decreased toward the downresevoir. Synedra of Bacillariophyceae and Microcystis aeruginosa of Cyanophyceae appeared to contribute to the algal bloom, although they are not dominated. It is mostly likely that sloped farmlands located in the watershed of the reservoir caused water quality problems because they may contain a significant amount of the nutrients originated from fertilizers. In addition, the aerators installed in the reservoir and a shortage of the inflowing water may be related to the poor water quality. A long-term monitoring and an integrated management plan for the water quality of the watersheds and the reservoir may be required to improve the water quality of the reservoir.

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a serious problem for public health and fisheries industries, thus there exists a need to investigate the possible ways for effective control of HABs. In the present study, we investigated the algicidal effects of a newly developed GreenTD against the HABs (Chattonella marina, Heterosigma akashiwo, Cochlodinium polykriokides, and Heterocapsa circularisquama) and non-HABs (Chaetoceros simplex, Skeletonema sp. and Tetraselmis sp.), which is focused on the different population density and concentration gradients of algicidal substances. The time series viability of target alga was assessed based on the activity of Chl. a photosynthetic efficiency in terms of $F_v/F_m$, and in vivo fluorescence (FSU). Effective control of Raphidophyta, C. marina and H. akashiwo was achieved at a GreenTD concentration of $0.5{\mu}gL^{-1}$ and $0.2{\mu}gL^{-1}$, respectively, and regrowth of both the species was not observed even after 14 days. The inhibitory ratio of the dinoflagellate, C. polykriokides was more than 80% at $0.2{\mu}gL^{-1}$ of GreenTD. H. circularisquama was constantly affected in the presence of $0.2{\mu}gL^{-1}$ of GreenTD in the high- and low-population density experimental groups. On the other hand, diatoms, C. simplex, and Skeletonema sp. were not significantly affected even in the presence of $0.2{\mu}gL^{-1}$ of GreenTD and exhibited re-growth activity with the passage of incubation time. In particular, green alga Tetraselmis sp. remained unaffected even in the presence of the highest concentration of GreenTD ($1.0{\mu}gL^{-1}$), implying that non-HABs were not greatly influenced by the algicidal substances. As a result, the algicidal activity of GreenTD on the harmful and nonharmful algae was as follows: raphidophyte>dinoflagellates>diatoms>green alga. Consequently, our results indicate that inoculation of GreenTD substances into natural blooms at a threshold concentration ($0.2{\mu}gL^{-1}$) can maximize the algicidal activity against HABs species. If we consider the dilution and diffusion rate in the field application, it is hypothesized that GreenTD will demonstrate economic efficiency, thus leading to effective control against the target HABs in the closed bay.

To investigate the influence of water area calmness on the red tide development, runoff phenomena due to antecedent precipitation of red tide development day were analyzed. There were examined the water quality variation properties at about the same time of the red tide develop. The red tide was developed when the stage and discharge nearly had not changed. It was estimated that the stability of particle behavior in the mouth of river effected on the red tide develop. Also, the concentrations of $COD_{Mn}$ were increased about 241~629% when the red tide developed.

식물플랑크톤은 여러 환경요인들의 변화와 해역의 해양학적 특성에 따라서 매우 다른 형태의 군집구조를 나타내고(Legendre and Legendre,1978), 물리적, 화학적 환경요인의 변동에 따라 종조성이나 출현수에 있어서 뚜렷한 변동을 보이므로 생태계의 구조와 기능을 이해하는데 중요한 역할을 한다(Smayda,1978). 식물플랑크톤의 군집구조는 해양생태구조 파악이나 해역의 환경지표 및 효율적 해역이용관리를 위해 무엇보다 우선 파악되어야하며(Gou and Zang, 1996), 생태계의 구조와 기능을 이해하기 위해서는 식물플랑크톤의 분포양상 및 군집구조를 환경요인과 같이 연구하는 것이 필수적이다.

Vertical and horizontal distributions of chemical oceanograthic parameters were measured in Jinhae Bay in July, 1983. On the Masan-Gadeog section, high amounts of dissolved nitrates, ammonia, chlorophylla-a, and particulate carbon and nitrogen were observed in waters with low salinity. In the inner Masan Bay, high concentrations of dissolved ammonia and phosphates were shown. The C/N ratio in the surface waters was higer in the outer bay. Concentrations of dissolved inorganic nitrogen and phosphates in the surface waters seemed to be sufficient for red tides to occur.

Physical and chemical environmental factors influencing on the outbreak of freshwater red tide by Peridinium bipes (dinoflagellate) in Soyang Reservoir were studied. Red tide occured in the site of inflowing of tributary streams annually, but the extent and severity of red tide varied from year to year. Several environmental factors such as water level, nutrient releasing from sediment, cyst resuspension, and concentrations of $Ca^{2+}$ and $Mg^{2+}$were studiedin relation to development, extent, and duration of red tide. In June of 1989 and 1991, the red tides of Peridinium bipes were very severe, and these red tides coincided with notable and rapid drawdown of lake water in late spring. Nutrient releasing and cyst resuspension by turbulence during drawdown were suggested as main causes of red tide. The quanity of nutrient releasing from sediment and hydrometeorological factors such as run-off and wind may determine the extent and duration of red tide.

우리나라의 해수어류 양식생산량은 사육환경, 사육관리조건 및 적조, 냉수대, 저염 분수의 양식장내 유입 등 자연재해에 의해 생산량 변동이 심하여 어가의 불안정한 요인으로 작용하고 있다. 집약적 어류양식에서 발생하는 부적당한 환경, 영양 및 인위적 스트레스는 어류의 최적 성장을 저해하며, 양식생산의 계획화에 지장을 초래한다. 환경요인중 수온, 염분 및 수질의 급변은 양식어류에 상당한 스트레스 요인으로 작용하는데, 이중 염분변화는 어류의 체내 삼투압 변화를 유도하고, 이때 어류는 체내 항상성을 유지하기 위하여 삼투압 조절을 한다.

Chronic Cochlodinium blooms in the southern waters of Korea have brought about considerable economic losses for about a decade, This paper aims to reframe current perspectives on the outbreak mechanism and the remediation schemes through a thought experiment in a context of mass balance and mathematical ecology. Far different explanations emerge from a careful examination of the scientifically unnoticed clues and a through discussion on the phytoplankton conservation equation. Logic of the eutrophication-induced red tide subjects to criticism. It is strongly recommended that the current remediation scheme to exterminate the target species should be rerouted to an environmentally sound competition enhancement tactics. Finally a novel convergence-float-aggregation hypothesis is proposed as an outbreak mechanism.

해수를 이용한 세계최초의 해수수로인 송도 신도시 중앙공원 해수수로는 서해안에서 집수된 해수를 $5{\mu}m$의 공극 크기를 가지는 해수처리시설 (STF, seawater treatment facility)에 의해 여과된 뒤 2곳의 해수공급 지점에서 해수수로로 공급된다. 여과된 해수는 수로로 155L/sec의 유량으로 1.8km를 흐른 뒤 서해로 방류된다. 이러한 인공 해수수로에서는 흐름정체에 따른 수질 문제와 영양염에 의한 적조를 유발하는 조류 성장이 문제가 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 3차원 수치모형을 이용한 인공 해수수로내의 흐름특성 모의와 수질 모니터링의 통한 조류 생성 특성 및 장소를 비교하여 그 상관성을 분석하고자 한다. 수치모의 실험은 3차원 수치모형인 FLOW-3D를 이용하였으며, 격자망 형태는 직사각형 직각 격자가 사용되었다. 현장 모니터링을 통하여 획득한 수질 데이터와 비교 분석을 통하여 해수수로 내 해수 흐름 특성변화(유속, 와도 등)와 조류생성에 미치는 영향을 비교 분석하였다. 해수 수로내의 평균 유속은 0.01m/s 이었으며, 수로의 형상에 따라서 정체수역이 발생하였다. 이러한 정체수역은 현장 모니터링을 통하여 예측된 조류 발생 지역과 일치하였다. 이러한 흐름 특성과 조류생성과의 상관성 규명을 통하여 인공수로의 물순환 시스템 설계시 조류 생성을 억제할 수 있는 최적 관리를 위한 설계의 기초 자료를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
