대청호의 중.하류 주요지점에서 수질특성을 파악하기 위하여 환경요인과 식물플랑크톤의 변동을 98년 6월부터 99년 6월까지 매월 조사하였다. 환경요인 중 수온, DO및 pH는 각각 5.3~27.7$^{\circ}C$, 6.2~13.8 mgO$_2$/1 및 6.4~9.5 범위로서 계절적 영향이 컸다. 무기영양염 중 NH$_4$, NO$_3$, SRP 및 SRSi 농도는 각각 18~104 $\mu$g N/1, 79~1,111 $\mu$g N/1, 0~16 $\mu$g P/1 및 0~3.0 mg Si/l 범위였다. 무기질소 중 NH$_4$ 는 NO$_3$의 5.5~7.2%수준이었다. NO$_3$는 하계에만 다소 낮았고 다른 시기에는 거의 일정하였다. SRP와 SRSi농도는 남조류가 우점하는 하계에 증가하였고 수온이 감소된 10월 이후에 규조류의 증가와 함께 SRP와 SRSi농도가 감소하였다. 따라서 SRSi는 SRP와 더불어 조류 생장에 밀접한 관련성이 있는 영양염으로 평가되었다. Chl-$\alpha$ 평균농도는 8~12 $\mu$g/1 범위로서 하류(댐)에서 가장 낮았다. 또한 하절기에 TN/TP비가 감소할수록 chi-$\alpha$ 농도는 증가하였고 TN/TP비의 평균값은 110으로서 조류의 생장에 대해 P 제한성이 강하였다. 식물플랑크톤의 변동은 계절에 따라 소수종이 우점하는 특성이 관찰되었다. 하계에는 남조류 Anabaena, Microcystis 및 Oscillatoria속 조류가 주로 초여름부터 늦가을까지 발생하여 번무하였다. 이 중에서 A. spiroides v. crassa는 0.3~2.0$\times$$10^4$cells/ml, M. aeruginosa는 6.4$\times$$10^2$~1.0$\times$$10^4$cells/m1 및 O. limosu는 4.6$\times$$10^3$~1.6$\times$$10^4$ cells/ml 범위로서 변화 폭이 가장 컸다. 반면 동계에는 규조류 Stephanodiscus속 조류가 11월~4월에 평균 4.9$\times$$10^2$cells/m1수준이었고 1월에 평균 세포수가 1.3$\times$$10^3$ cells/ml로 많아 중요종으로 볼 수 있었다.

The dinoflagellate genus Alexandrium is known to often form harmful algal blooms causing human illness and large-scale mortality of marine organisms. Therefore, the population dynamics of Alexandrium species are of primary concern to scientists and aquaculture farmers. The growth rate of the Alexandrium species is the most important parameter in prediction models and nutrient conditions are critical parameters affecting the growth of phototrophic species. In Korean coastal waters, Alexandrium affine and Alexandrium fraterculus, of similar sizes, often form red-tide patches together. Thus, to understand bloom dynamics of A. affine and A. fraterculus, growth rates and nitrate uptake of each species as a function of nitrate ($NO_3$) concentration at $100{\mu}mol\;photons\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$ under 14-h light : 10-h dark and continuous light conditions were determined using a nutrient repletion method. With increasing $NO_3$ concentration, growth rates and $NO_3$ uptake of A. affine or A. fraterculus increased, but became saturated. Under light : dark conditions, the maximum growth rates of A. affine and A. fraterculus were 0.45 and $0.42d^{-1}$, respectively. However, under continuous light conditions, the maximum growth rate of A. affine slightly increased to $0.46d^{-1}$, but that of A. fraterculus largely decreased. Furthermore, the maximum nitrate uptake of A. affine and A. fraterculus under light : dark conditions were 12.9 and $30.1pM\;cell^{-1}d^{-1}$, respectively. The maximum nitrate uptake of A. affine under continuous light conditions was $16.4pM\;cell^{-1}d^{-1}$. Thus, A. affine and A. fraterculus have similar maximum growth rates at the given $NO_3$ concentration ranges, but they have different maximum nitrate uptake rates. A. affine may have a higher conversion rate of $NO_3$ to body nitrogen than A. fraterculus. Moreover, a longer exposure time to the light may confer an advantage to A. affine over A. fraterculus.

The seasonal dynamics of phytoplankton and trophic state were evaluated weekly at three sites in the Lake Unmoon from May to November 2001. The seasonal succession pattern of phytoplankton community in the Lake Unmoon showed that the dominant species were; i) diatoms during the late spring, ii) dinoflagellates in June, iii) blue green algae, diatoms and dinoflagellates in July, iv) green algae and blue green algae in August, v) blue green algae in September and early November, and vi) diatoms in November. Members of Microcystis were dominant from middle August to late October and members of Aulocoseira appeared as important species in autumn in the Lake Unmoon. The concentration of chlorophyll-a ranged from 2.4 to 23.0 mg ${\cdot}m^{-3}$ (average: 8.6 mg ${\cdot}m^{-3}$) during the study period. Concentrations of total phosphorus were high during the period from July to November with the maximum of 0.028 mg ${\cdot} l^{-1}$. The average N/P ratio was 121, indicating that concentrations of phosphorus may determine the high algal biomass in the Lake Unmoon. Concentrations of silicate were higher in the Lake Unmoon (average value: 10.016 mg ${\cdot}$ l-) than in other lakes (average values: 1.074-4.408 mg ${\cdot}$ l-), suggesting high potential of diatom growth. The average trophic state index in the Lake Unmoon was 52, which was close to eutrophic state, and the trophic state trend was increasing steadily since 1999.

The first Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) onboard its Communication Ocean and Meteorological Satellite (COMS) is scheduled for launch in 2008. GOCI includes the eight visible-to-near-infrared (NIR) bands, 0.5km pixel resolution, and a coverage region of 2500 ${\times}$ 2500km centered at 36N and 130E. GOCI has had the scope of its objectives broadened to understand the role of the oceans and ocean productivity in the climate system, biogeochemical variables, geological and biological response to physical dynamics and to detect and monitor toxic algal blooms of notable extension through observations of ocean color. The special feature with GOCI is that like MODIS, MERIS and GLI, it will include the band triplets 660-680-745 for the measurements of sun-induced chlorophyll-a fluorescence signal from the ocean. The GOCI will provide SeaWiFS quality observations with frequencies of image acquisition 8 times during daytime and 2 times during nighttime. With all the above features, GOCI is considered to be a remote sensing tool with great potential to contribute to better understanding of coastal oceanic ecosystem dynamics and processes by addressing environmental features in a multidisciplinary way. To achieve the objectives of the GOCI mission, we develop the GOCI Data Processing System (GDPS) which integrates all necessary basic and advanced techniques to process the GOCI data and deliver the desired biological and geophysical products to its user community. Several useful ocean parameters estimated by in-water and other optical algorithms included in the GDPS will be used for monitoring the ocean environment of Korea and neighbouring countries and input into the models for climate change prediction.

Population dynamics of Anabaena and the anatoxin-a concentration were monitored with physicochemical parameters at 3 sites in the lower Naktong River from May to September in 2000. Total 4 species of Anabaena (A. flosaquae, A. smithii, A. ucrainica and A. mucosa) were identified with morphological characterisitcs. Anabaena flos-aquae was most abundant among the populations. The standing crop of Anabaena ranged from 10 to 11,220 cells · $ml^{-1}$ and biomass of Anabaena more 1,000 cells · $ml^{-1}$ was obseved once at St. Mulgeum and St. Seonam, twice at St. Hagueon out of total 9 samplings. There were not significant correlations between the standing crop of Anabaena and other physicochemical parameters such as temperature, nitrate, total nitrogen, phosphate, total phophorus and N/P ratios. The frequency of trichomes with akinetes was low and ranged from 0 to 4% in the total Anabaena population and A. smithii showed highest frequency of 2.8% among all species. The population at St. Seonam showed highest frequency of 1.4% among all sampling sties. The population in September showed the highest frequency of 3.0% among all sampling period. The frequency of trichomes with heterocysts was low and ranged from 1 to 87% inthe total Anabaena population and A. smithii showed highest frequency of 55.1% among all species. The population at St. Mulgeum showed highest frequency of 17.6% among all sampling sites. The population in August showed the highest frequency of 21.4% among all sampling period. The frequency of trichomes with akinetes and/or heterocysts was not related to all the physicochemical parameters of temperature, nitrate, total nitrogen, phosphate, total phosphorus and N/P ratios. The anatoxin-a concentations were determined in algal materials dominated by Microcystis and Anabaena from June though August by derivatization using 7-fluoro-4-nitro-2, 1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD-F) and HPLC analysis with fluorimetric detection. All the concentrations were below the detection limit of 0.1 ㎍ · $l^{-1}$ in the present study.

Cyanotoxins in aquatic ecosystems have been investigated by many researchers worldwide. Cyanotoxins can be classified according to toxicity as neurotoxins (anatoxin-a, anatoxin-a(s), saxitoxins) or hepatotoxins (microcystins, nodularin, cylindrospermopsin). Microcystins are generally present within cyanobacterial cells and are released by damage to the cell membrane. Cyanotoxins have been reported to cause adverse effects and to accumulate in aquatic organisms in lakes, rivers and oceans. Possible pathways of microcystins in Lake Suwa, Japan, have been investigated from five perspectives: production, adsorption, physiochemical decomposition, bioaccumulation and biodegradation. In this study, temporal variability in microcystins in Lake Suwa were investigated over 25 years (1991~2015). In nature, microcystins are removed by biodegradation of microorganisms and/or feeding of predators. However, during water treatment, the use of copper sulfate to remove algal cells causes extraction of a mess of microcystins. Cyanotoxins are removed by physical, chemical and biological methods, and the reduction of nutrients inflow is a basic method to prevent cyanobacterial bloom formation. However, this method is not effective for eutrophic lakes because nutrients are already present. The presence of a cyanotoxins can be a potential threat and therefore must be considered during water treatment. A complete understanding of the mechanism of cyanotoxins degradation in the ecosystem requires more intensive study, including a quantitative enumeration of cyanotoxin degrading microbes. This should be done in conjunction with an investigation of the microbial ecological mechanism of cyanobacteria degradation.

Species composition and community structure of marine benthic community were studied in the intertidal zone of Jijindo Island, Gwangyang Bay. A total of 85 species of benthic marine plants including the 5 Cyanophyta, 9 Chlorophyta, 13 Phaeophyta, 56 Rhodophyta and 2 Magnoliophyta that were listed. The community structure was represented by Gelidium divaricatum in the upper zone, Celidium divalicatum and Ulva pertusa in the middle, and Ulva pertusa, Chondria crassicaulis, Chondracanthus intermedia and Sargassum thunbergii in the lower intertidal zone. The dominant species in the rnscro-zoobenthic community were Chthamalux challengeri in the upper and middle, Littorina brevicula between the upper and middle, and Mytilus edulis and Crassostrea gigas in the middle and lower intertidal zones. The economic benthic organisms such as Undaria pinnatifida, Mytilus edulis, and Crassostrea gigas found in the lower intertidal zone were frequently disturbed due to their collection by local resident. Therefore, it is necessary to record the correct information pertaining to these cases. The species diversity indices estimated kom different sources were quite different. They were 2.22 derived from frequency, 1.67 based on coverage, 2.17 based on sum of frequency and coverage and 2.04 derived from importance value. Species diversity and number of algal species in Gwangyang Bay have noticeably decreased, compared with their previously reported status. It is estimated that their decreases were caused by changes in the marine environment, especially pertaining to the polychaete community resulting from reclamation and dredging activity undertaken for the industrial development.

Water quality and plankton community dynamics after the introduction of two domestic freshwater shellfishes (Unio douglasiae Griffith & Pidgeon and Cipangoplaudina chinese malleata Reeve), were monitored daily in enclosures, which constructed in the tidal zone of eutrophic agricultural reservoir (Shingu reservoir, Korea) for one week between July 31 and August 6, 2007. This biomanipulation study to improve the water quality of eutrophic lake, comprised eight enclosures (duplicate x four kinds), enclosure had no mussels (Control), stocked only with U. douglasiae at density of 60 individuals (UD), stocked only with C. chinese malleata at density of 60 individuals (CCM), and combined-stocked with 30 individuals of UD and 30 individuals of CCM (MIX), respectively. Our results clearly indicate that UD strongly decreased the concentration of chlorophyll-a and increased the water transparency, whereas CCM and MIX (included CCM) did increase algal density or decrease transparency, due perhaps to the disturbance of C. chinese malleata. Therefore, the field application of shellfish to enhance the water quality of eutrophic agricultural reservoir, should consider the grazing characteristics of biological control agents, especially active moving animals like snail.

우리나라 남해안에서 매년 유해 편모조류인 Cochlodinium polykrikoides 적조가 발생하고 있으며 많은 수산피해를 일으키고 있다. 본 연구는 본 종에 대한 적조발생기구를 구명하는데 있어 생물학적인 기초를 확립하기 위해 실시되었다. 실험실 배양실험을 통해 물리 화학적 환경요인에 대한 C. polykrikoides의 성장을 조사하였고, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 해양에서 발생하는 C. polykrikoides 자연군집의 동역학중에서 물리$\cdot$화학적 환경요인의 상대적인 중요성을 평가하기 위해 수온, 염분, pH, 조도 조건별로 무균배양을 통한 본 종의 성장을 조사하였다. 그 결과는 $25^{\circ}C,\;40\%_{\circ}$, pH 7.5, 7,500 lux에서 가장 성장률이 높았다. 그리고, $19\~28^{\circ}C$에서도 성장이 잘 이루어져 광온성(eurythermal) 종으로 확인되었으며, 발생해역의 염분 범위인$30\~35\%$의 환경조건을 만족하는, 즉 내만의 저염분 보다는 외양의 고염분 환경에서 발생하여 성장하는 종으로 확인되었고, 광염성 (euryhaline) 종이다. 그리고, 높은 일사량을 요구하며 현장해역의 pH 범위에서 성장이 원활히 이루어졌다. 무기태 영양염인 질소원으로 질산질소와 암모니아질소를, 인원으로 인산인을 이용하여 C. polykrikoides의 영양염에 대한 성장실험을 하였다. 그 결과, C. polykrikoides의 영양요구량은 질산질소, 암모니아질소, 인산인에 대해 각각 $40, 50, 5{\mu}M$이었고, 성장에 의한 반포화상수 (Ks)값은 각각 $2.10,\;1.03,\;0.57{\mu}M$로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과로부터 C. polykrikoides는 타와편모조류에서 보고된Ks 값보다 대체적으로 낮았고, 빈영양성 (oligotrophic) 종은 아니며, 부영양성 (eutrophic) 종에 해당하지만 암모니아질소 Ks 값은 뚜영양성 종보다 낮은 값을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 C. polykrikoides 적조는 내만의 부영양화된 해역보다는 부영양상태가 높아지고 있는 해역에서 발생할 가능성이 매우 높은 것을 나타낸다. 또한, C. polykrikoides는 질산질소보다 암모니아질소를 성장시 보다 유효한 영양염으로 선택하여 소비하였다 이것은 암모니아질소가 타 영양염보다 성장에 보다 중요한 요인으로 작용하며, C. polykrikoides 적조는 해양에서 증가한 암모니아질소 농도와 연관되는 것으로 나타났다.
