In order to obtain basic informations about impact assessment of marine life by suspended solids in coastal waters, the survey about recent study related with suspended solids effects on exploitable marine life (shellfish, fish, seaweed.) was tried. 1) The paper concerning impacts of suspended solids on marine life has been mainly focused on shellfish. 2) Effects of suspended solids on marine life mainly investigated for acute toxicity. 3) Experiments with suspended solids are intended on adult and juvenile in shellfish, egg and juvenile in fish, and spores in seaweed. Biological impacts of suspended solids can vary depending on concentrations, duration, and life stage, and these informations would improve a knowledge of the effects of suspended solids on marine life.

산불의 발생은 산림 내에서 낙엽, 낙지, 초류, 임목 들의 연소로서 산불재 및 질소, 인 ,칼륨 등의 식물 영양염류와 토사 등이 산지에서 이탈되어 하천으로 쉽게 유입될 수 있으며, 산지와 해양이 인접한 지형에서는 하천에서의 자정작용 없이 곧바로 해양으로 유출되어 해양생물의 생태계에 직접 영향을 미칠 수도 있다. 해양 생태계에서는 하천의 오염원 유입으로 인하여 일차적으로 강 하구의 고착생물 즉 해조류들에 영향을 줌으로써 해양환경 오염에 대한 indicator 생물로서 이들 해조류를 많이 이용하고 있다. (중략)

Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) technology is recognizing one of method responding the climate change with reduction of carbon dioxide in atmosphere. In Korea, due to its geological characteristics, sub-seabed geological $CO_2$ storage is regarded as more practical approach than on-land storage under the goal of its deployment. However, concerns on potential $CO_2$ leakage and relevant acidification issue in the marine environment can be an important subject in recently increasing sub-seabed geological $CO_2$ storage sites. In the present study effect data from literatures were collected in order to conduct an effect assessment of elevated $CO_2$ levels in marine environments using a species sensitivity distribution (SSD) various marine organisms such as microbe, crustacean, echinoderm, mollusc and fish. Results from literatures using domestic species were compared to those from foreign literatures to evaluate the reliability of the effect levels of each biological group and end-point. Ecological effect guidelines through estimating level of pH variation (${\delta}pH$) to adversely affect 5 and 50% of tested organisms, HC5 and HC50, were determined using SSD of marine organisms exposed to the $CO_2$-induced acidification. Estimated HC5 as ${\delta}pH$ of 0.137 can be used as only interim quality guideline possibly with adequate assessment factor. In the future, the current interim guideline as HC5 of ${\delta}pH$ in this study will look forward to compensate with supplement of ecotoxicological data reflecting various trophic levels and indigenous species.

In order to understand the effects of the main components of antifoaming agents on the marine benthic ecosystem when silicone-based antifoaming agents are discharged into marine environments, eco-toxicity testing was performed on silicone and alcohol-based antifoaming agent by using benthic amphipod (Monocorophium acherusicum) and luminescent bacteria (Vibrio fischeri). The toxic effects of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as a main component of silicone-based antifoaming agents on aquatic organisms were also researched. In the results of the eco-toxicity test, luminescent bacteria showed a maximum of 9 times more toxic effects than benthic amphipod for alcohol-based antifoaming agents, and silicone-based antifoaming agents showed a maximum of 400 times more toxic effects than alcohol-based. The $LC_{50}$ and $EC_{50}$ values of PDMS ranged from 10 to $44,500{\mu}g/L$ in phytoplankton, invertebrate, and fish. In the results of applying PBT (P: persistency, B: bioaccumulation, T: toxicity) characteristics as an index showing the qualitative characteristics of PDMS, persistency (P) and bioaccumulation (B) were confirmed. Thus, when PDMS is discharged to marine environments, it could accumulate in the upper trophic level through bioaccumulation and the food chain, which could have negative effects on benthic organisms. The results of this study may be used for objective and scientific risk assessment, considering the major components of antifoaming agents when investigating the effects of various discharged antifoaming agents in marine ecosystem.

The scenario of $CO_2$ disposal in the deep-sea are thought to be possible method to reduce atmospheric $CO_2$ concentrations. However, it is necessary to clarify the effects of elevated $CO_2$ concentrations on both marine organisms and marine ecosystems. In this paper the literatures on the biological impact of elevated $CO_2$ concentrations in seawater and recent studies on the effects of elevated $CO_2$ concentrations on marine animals are reviewed. Elevated $CO_2$ concentrations may affect the physiological functions of marine animals such as acid-base regulation, blood oxygen transport and respiratory system, and ultimately lead to the death of marine animals. Although the fish used in the early studies on $CO_2$ effects are temperate, shallow-water species, deep-sea species should be experimented for the future study on $CO_2$ sequestration in the deep ocean.

$CO_2$ impacts on marine ecosystems must be elucidated before implementation of $CO_2$ ocean sequestration. This study was performed for the purpose of applying the use of a cephalopod, Octopus vulgaris to the evaluation of $CO_2$ impacts on marine organisms. 1) 5.25% $MgCl_2\;6H_2O$ is an effective anaesthetic for octopus. 2) Cannula implantation into the abdominal aorta is effective for octopus. 3) A restraint chamber made out of the plastic net is suitable to permit the exit of cannula from the body.

산업사회의 발달로 해양생물이 살아가는 생태계는 지역에 따라 자연적인 정화 능력 이상의 많은 오염물질이 유입되고 있으며, 이는 연안 생태계 내에 살아가는 생물이나 그 생물을 이용하는 사람에게도 많은 악영향을 미치고 있다 (Johnston, 1976). 이러한 중금속의 악영향으로 인하여 중금속에 대한 생물축적을 파악하기 위하여 해양생물을 biomonitor로 활용을 하며, 대형 수생식물, 이매패류, 다모류, 따개비류 및 어류 등을 이용하여 중금속이 생물에 미치는 영향을 연구하고, 환경 평가의 기준으로 이용하고 있다 (Rainbow, 1995).

해초에 서식하는 부착생물의 생태학적인 이해를 위해 수주의 물리 화학적 요인 (수온, 염분, 영양염의 농도)이 잘피와 부착생물 및 부착조류의 성장에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 영양염의 농도 중 특히 질산염은 해양 수주 내에 부족할 경우 식물 플랑크톤을 비롯한 광합성 식물의 성장을 방해하는 요인으로 잘 알려져 있으며 (예, Bougis, 1976), 질산염이 부착생물에 미치는 영향에 대한 많은 연구가 수행되었다(Williams and Ruckelshaus, 1993, Coleman and Burkholde.,1994, 1995).

In this study, data on the types and density of abalone attached organisms were provided in marine net cage of the southern coast. In addition, the effect of the removal of attached organisms was evaluated. In marine net cage, oysters, bryozoa, and barnacles were dominated among the attached organisms, and their average area ratio was about 57.5%. The growth rate and hepatopancreas condition were better in removal group of attached organisms than control group. Therefore, it is judged that the removal of attached organisms from abalone is necessary for the growth of individuals and improvement of value.
