  • To determine the autochthonous COD caused by the production of phytoplankton, three different methods were used simultaneously utilizing several environmental factors and applied to the Nakdong Estuary. From the estimation of the tropic state index, tropic level in the Nakdong Estuary was found to be in excess of eutrophication level at all area studied. The percentage of autochthonous COD in total COD was largest in summer and in station No. 6 $(43.5\%)$. Using of the relationship between COD and salinity was not appropriate tov the evaluation of the autochthonous COD due to discrepancy with other tesulfs evaluated. However, the evaluations of autochthonous COD obtained from the $\DeltaCOO$ and the relationship between COD and chl.a were found to be proper methods, resulting in a relative error less than $20\%$ for all of the area investigated.

  • The three-dimensional eco-hydrodynamic model was applied to estimate the autochthonous COD caused by production of phytoplankton in Jinhae Bay. A residual current was simulated, using a hydrodynamic model, to have a sightly complicated pattern in the inner part of the bay, ranging from 0.001 to 5 cm/s. In the outer part of the bay, the simulated current flowed out to the south sea with a southward flow at a maximum of 25 cm/s. The results of the ecological model simulation of COD levels showed high concentrations, exceeding 4 mg/L, in the inner bay of Masan, an area of wastewater discharge, and lower levels, approaching less than 1 mg/L, closer to the outer part of the bay. The simulation results of Autochthonous COD by two methods using ecological modeling, showed high ratio over 70% of total COD. Therefore, it is more important to consider nutrients than organic matters in the region for control COD standard.
