The purpose of this study is to evaluate the concentrations of heavy metals in the marine sediments near the Masan bay and the Nakdong estuary, and to investigate the pollution intensity levels of six heavy metals using the existing pollution intensity assessment method. According to the US environmental protection agency, in the case of Cu, the B1 area was classified as severe pollution, while in Ni and Zn, it was classified as moderate pollution in some areas. According to the classification of Igeo, EF and PERF, the A and B regions were polluted by Cd. In particular, in the B1 region, Igeo, EF, and PERF values were the highest in all regions, and were regarded as serious pollution. According to the mean PEL quotient classification, which takes into account the effects of all six heavy metals, there is a 21% probability of toxicity from heavy metals in all regions. The highest concentration of Cd in the B1 region is 1.5 mg/kg. Therefore, the contamination of Cd contained in sediment near Masan Bay is serious, so it is necessary to clarify the cause and take careful approach to future treatment.

One hundred and sixty one strains of Aeromonas were isolated at three sites from August, 1986 to December, 1986 in Naktong Estuary. Cluster analysis was performed on total of 42 morphological and biochemical characteristics of the isolated strains. At the level of 85% and 84% similarity, three major clusters and two minor clusters had been identified: the first three clusters were different one another from MR reaction and gas production utilizing glucose. The five clusters were classified as two serotypes on the basis of serotyping, which was consistent with the result of cytotoxicity test.

Ichthyoplankton were sampled with Bongo net at 13 stations from Chonsu Bay to Keum Estuary from July, 1985 to June, 1986. 19 taxa of pelagic eggs and 45 taxa of larvae were collected. The key to identify the pelagic eggs is based on the number of oil gloubles, the shape of the egg, the sculpture of the chorion, and the size of the egg and the oil globules. The key to the families of fish larvae is based on the morphometric characters such as the body shape, the position of the anus, the pigmentation pattern, and others.

Species composition and abundance of marine organism in the Nakdong River estuary were investigated seasonally from November 2007 to November 2008. During the study period, a total of 169 species, 93 families, and 6 taxa were collected in the study area. Species included were 2 species in Bivalvia, 11 in Cephalopoda, 43 in Crustecea, 8 in Echinodermata, 6 in Gastropoda, and 99 in Pisces. The seasonal dominant species in number of individuals were Acropoma japonicum in autumn, Apogon lineatus in winter, Siphonalia spadicea fuscolineata in spring, and Crangon hakodatei in summer. Dominant species in abundance were Chelidonichthys spinosus in autumn, Liphius litulon in winter and spring, and Raja kenojei in summer. The number of species and their abundance, the species composition, and the diversity indices fluctuated with seasons. The organisms were divided into 17 groups by seasonal variation using a self-organizing map.

To understand the changing patterns in phytoplankton communities, we conducted 12 surveys along the Nakdong River, its estuary, and adjacent coastal areas between January 2011 and October 2012 (during the period of barrage construction and sediment dredging). Monthly precipitation ranged from 0 to 502 mm during the survey period, and salinity ranged between 0.1 psu and 0.3 psu in the Nakdong River, regardless of the depth, indicating no seawater influence, while salinity showed large seasonal fluctuations in the estuarine and coastal station, ranging from 0.1 psu to 34.8 psu. A total of 402 phytoplankton species were identified, 178 species from the river and 331 species from the estuary and coastal areas. Phytoplankton standing crop increased in 2012 compared to that in 2011, and was found to be highest in the river, followed by the estuary and coastal areas. Among the top 20 species in frequency of occurrence and dominance, Stephanodiscus spp., Aulacoseira granulata, and Aulacoseira granulata var. angustissima and Pseudo-nitzschia spp. were important species along the river-estuary-coastal areas. Diatoms were the major taxonomic group inhabiting the Nakdong river-estuary-coastal areas. A comparison of seasonal dominant phytoplankton species revealed a slight decrease over the years, from 13 species in 2011 to 10 species in 2012. However, no significant difference was found in the diversity of phytoplankton species between the two survey years, although lightly greater diversity was observed in the coastal areas than in the river and estuary. Cluster analysis with community composition data revealed that the community structure varied significantly in 2011 depending on the time of survey, while in 2012, it hardly showed any variation and was simpler. An increase in the phytoplankton standing crop, fewer dominant species, and simpler community structure in 2012 compared to those in 2011 are probably due to the rapid environmental changes along the Nakdong River. To investigate these ecological relationships, it is necessary to conduct further studies focusing on integrated analyses of biocenosis, including phytoplankton with respect to the changes in nutrient distribution, variation of freshwater discharge, and effect area of freshwater in the Nakdong estuary and adjacent coastal areas.

Macrozoobenthos were collected from 24 sites using small grab ($0.05m^2$) in order to see the spatial distribution of them at Sueocheon stream at the northern part of Gwangyang Bay during summer season when the maximum ecological processes are occurring. A total of 44 species of macrozoobenthos occurred, and their mean density was $789individuals/m^2$. Mollusks was the dominant faunal group accounted for 43.1% and 86.8% of the whole community density and biomass, respectively. Top five dominant species were a molluscan, Corbicula japonica (40.7%), two polychaete worms, Neanthes japonica (19.3%) and Heteromastus filiformis( 8.1%), and two crustaceans, Paranthura japonica (6.9%) and Jaeropsis sp. (6.9%). Species diversity index was very low with mean value of 1.12 and maximum value was recorded at the river mouth. At the upper stream, a brackish water species such as Corbicula japonica showed their maximum population density. The overall distribution of stream macrobenthos showed a rather simple pattern along with salinity and grain size gradients with few brackish water species occurring at coarse sediments in the stream but more diverse faunas inhabiting fine sediments in the river mouth.

After the construction of the Geum River estuary dam, we investigated the ecological property of phytoplankton community with physicochemical property in 9 stations of Geum River estuary 4 times seasonally in 2010 about the environmental changes through the change of phytoplankton. Physicochemical property seems to show eutrophication which developed from the tendency of accruing of the nutrients (those involved in intermittency of freshwater which flows from the dike and the surrounding cities), caused by the changing of tidal flow, the decreasing of the inflow of seawater after the construction of the Geum River estuary dam (dike). A total of 233 species of species composition of phytoplankton emerged, showing a highly increased result compared to that of the former research. The reason for the increase in number is considered as a phenomenon resulting from the mix of blackish and freshwater marine species in the flow of intermittency of freshwater discharge. Also, the standing crops of phytoplankton considerably increased compared to when the dike had not yet been built. Highly affected by the discharge of occasional freshwater, the diatoms of blackish water zone dominated in spring and winter, while freshwater species appeared to dominate in summer and autumn. The species diversity showed over 2.0 except in winter season. After a cluster analysis, the result showed that the Geum River estuary was influenced by runoff from cities like Gunsan, the sewage which flows from Gyeongpo River, and the intermittency of freshwater discharge from the Geum River estuary dam.

하천유지유량에 대한 인식과 개념은 시대와 사회, 경제의 발전에 따라 변화되어 새로운 물 배분 패러다임에 입각한 하천유지유량이 정립되고 있다. 우리나라에서 하천유지유량의 필요성이 제기되기 시작한 것은 댐 건설 이후부터이며, 하구의 염수침입을 방지하기 위해 하천에서 기본적으로 유지되어야 할 필요수량을 정하면서 부터이다. 실제적인 하천유역의 관리에서 댐 건설 이전에는 하천의 유량을 조절할 수 있는 능력이 거의 없었기 때문에 하천유지유량의 설정 자체가 크게 의미를 갖지 못하였다. 우리나라 하천유지유량의 주요 기능은 1960년대 이전에는 하천의 주운기능, 1970년대는 하구의 염수침입방지 기능, 1980년대는 수질보전을 위한 희석용수의 기능으로 인식되었으며, 1990년대 이후 환경에 대한 인식 변화로 수질과 함께 하천생태계 보전의 필요성이 증가하여 이에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되어 왔고, 2000년대에 들어서는 자연환경을 중심으로 하는 하천유지유량과는 별도의 용수개념인 사회환경 개선을 위한 환경개선용수의 도입의 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 하천유지유량에서 고려하는 항목은 갈수량을 기준으로 하고 하천기능 유지에 필요한 하천생태 및 하천수질 보전을 기본항목으로 하여 고려하도록 하며, 현실적으로 하천유지유량 산정 검토시 부수적인 미미한 비중을 차지하고 있는 하천경관, 하구막힘 방지, 지하수위 유지, 하천시설물 보호, 염수침입 방지 등의 항목은 필요항목으로 구분하되 하천 상황에 따라 추가적인 항목에 대한 검토가 필요한 경우 감안할 수 있도록 하였다. 갈수량의 산정은 반드시 유역 개발과 각종 유수사용, 수공구조물에 의한 유량 조절 효과가 없는 자연상태를 기준으로 산정하도록 하고 어류생태를 고려한 필요유량 산정 시 대표어종은 하천의 특성을 고려하고 지역사회의 의견을 수렴하여 단일어종보다는 생태적 군(Guild, 군(群))을 고려하여 선정하고 최소유량의 개념보다는 계절별 유량변동성을 고려하도록 하였다. 수질보전에 필요한 필요유량 산정 목표는 생태계 서식 및 생육 환경의 보전과 인간의 물 이용 측면에서 요구되는 목표수질을 구분하여 적용하도록 하였다. 하천유지유량 이외에 친수공간 확보, 물놀이, 관광, 하천문화행사 등 사회환경 개선을 위해 하천의 일부구간 또는 일부지역에 필요한 수량은 이를 이용하고자 하는 수혜대상 집단(지자체, 특정 기관 또는 개인 등)의 요구에 의해 발생되는 수량이므로 환경개선용수로 분류하여 별도로 산정하도록 하였다.
