This study was carried out at 5 sites 11 times over two years to identify the variation of benthic environments and benthic polychaetous community and analyze the benthic healthiness in Dangdong Bay, a small semi-enclosed inner bay of Jinhae Bay. The temperature of bottom water showed the typical temporal fluctuation of a temperate zone and was in the range of 5.94 ~ 23.94℃. The salinity did not change significantly during the study period and was in the range of 32.93 ~ 35.72 psu. The concentration of dissolved oxygen of bottom water fluctuated a great deal and was in the range of 0.31 ~ 10.20 mg/L. The lowest DO value was recorded in July 2015, as 0.31±0.04 mg/L corresponding to the hypoxic water mass. The hypoxic water mass was formed continuously at some sites also in July and August 2016. The mean grain size was in the range of 7.57 ~ 9.81Ø and the average was 8.89±0.20Ø. The surface sediments were mainly composed of fine sediment (mud) above 85%. The mean of TOC was 3.09±0.22% and LOI was 13.30±0.47%, showing very high levels in Korean coastal waters. The concentration of AVS was in the range of 0.33 ~ 1.28 mgS/g-dry. The high values of organic contents and AVS indicated that there had been the serious organic enrichment in Dangdong Bay. The number of species and the density of the benthic polychaetous community in Dangdong Bay were in the range of 2 ~ 38 species and 2 ~ 2,185 ind./㎡ during the study period. The number of species and density were highly sustained in winter and spring, and then decreased gradually with the formation of a hypoxic water mass in summer, and the lowest number of species and density were recorded in autumn. In September and November 2015, the dead zone expanded to almost the whole study area. Dominant polychaetous species were Capitella capitata, Lumbrineris longifolia, Paraprionospio patiens and Sigambra tentaculata, each known as opportunistic species and potential organic pollutant indicator species. In particular, Paraprionospio patiens showed a very high population density of 2,019 ind./㎡ in December 2016. Polychaetous communities at each sampling time were classified into 4 temporal groups according to dominant species in each period by cluster analysis and nMDS. 'Period Group AI' was formed in winter and spring of 2015, dominated by Capitella capitata, 'Period AII' in summer dominated by Lumbrineris longifolia, 'Period B' in autumn with no fauna in the dead zone, and particularly 'Period C' in winter of 2016 dominated by Paraprionospio patiens. As a result of analysis of benthic healthiness, the study area was estimated to be in a Fair~Very Poor condition by AMBI and in a Poor~Very Poor condition by BPI during the study period. Both AMBI and BPI showed that the study area was in a Very Poor condition in September and November 2015, and when the dead zone occurred. In Dongdong Bay, the fact that the formation of a hypoxic water mass occurred in summer and a dead zone in autumn were confirmed. In addition, the dominance of opportunistic and organic pollutant indicator species was also observed clearly. The benthic healthiness indexes such as AMBI and BPI showed that organic enrichment was serious in Dangdong Bay.

본 연구에서는 당동만을 중심으로 빈산소가 발생하는 물리적 해양환경 특성을 파악하고, 로지스틱 회귀분석을 이용해 빈산소 발생확률을 예측하였다. 관측 자료를 분석한 결과, 브런트-바이살라 주파수는 수심이 깊은 만 입구보다 수심이 얕은 만 내측에서 더 크게 나타났다. 이는 당동만 내측에서 담수 유입으로 인해 표층 염분이 낮아져 강한 밀도 성층이 형성되었기 때문이다. 시간적으로는 6월 ~ 9월까지 리차드슨 수와 브런트 바이살라 주파수가 매우 높게 나타났고, 9월 2일 이후로는 성층이 완화되어 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 당동만에서 관측된 용존산소 및 수온, 염분 자료를 분석한 결과, 저층의 용존산소 농도는 공통적으로 표층과 저층의 수온차에 가장 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 수심차(dz)를 고정된 변수로 두고, 수온차(dt)의 변화에 의한 빈산소의 발생 확률의 변화를 계산한 결과, 수심차(dz)가 각각 5 m, 10 m, 15 m, 20 m일 경우, 수온차(dt)는 8℃, 7℃, 5℃, 3℃일 때 빈산소 발생확률이 70 %를 상회하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 당동만에서 수심차(dz)가 커질수록 빈산소 발생에 필요한 수온차(dt)는 작아지게 된다는 것을 뜻하며, 특히 당동만에서 수심차(dz)가 20 m 내외인 지역은 빈산소가 발생하기 매우 쉬운 환경이라는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Hypoxia can affect water-atmosphere methane flux by controlling the production and consumption processes of methane in coastal areas. Seasonal methane concentration and fluxes were quantified to evaluate the effects of seasonal hypoxia in Dangdong Bay (Gyeongsangnamdo, Jinhae Bay, South Korea). Sediment-water methane flux increased more than 300 times during hypoxia (normoxia and hypoxia each 6, 1900 µmol m^-2 d^-1), and water-atmospheric methane flux and bottom methane concentration increased about 2, 10 times (normoxia and hypoxia each 190, 420 µmol m^-2 d^-1; normoxia and hypoxia each 22, 230 nM). Shoaling of anaerobic decomposition of organic matter in the sediments during the hypoxia (August) was confirmed by the change of the depth at which the maximum hydrogen sulfide concentration was detected. Shoaling shortens the distance between the water column and methanogenesis section to facilitate the inflow of organic matter, which can lead to an increase in methane production. In addition, since the transport distance of the generated methane to the water column is shortened, consumption of methane will be reduced. The combination of increased production and reduced consumption could increase sediment-aqueous methane flux and dissolved methane, which is thought to result in an increase in water-atmospheric methane flux. We could not observe the emission of methane accumulated during the hypoxia due to stratification, so it is possible that the estimated methane flux to the atmosphere was underestimated. In this study, the increase in methane flux in the coastal area due to hypoxia was confirmed, and the necessity of future methane production studies according to oxygen conditions in various coastal areas was demonstratedshown in the future.

The dicriminant function was introduced to understand the cause and establish the prediction method of red tides occurring In Jinhae Bay. Korea. Two sea re91ons of Masan and Haengam Bays and Dang- dong and Wonmun Bays had different types of causes and patterns for red tides. In Masan and Haengam Bays, the red tides concentrically occurred during June and September. For example, in .lune the red tides occurred from physical and meteorological factors, which are related to the stratification and the increase in planktons. However in August the red tides occurred from the water quality environment, based on these conditoins. Futhermore, in September the red tides were caused by the balance between the meteorological and water quality environmental factors. In contrast to those, In Dangdong and Won-mun Bays, the red tides mainly occurred during July and October and the frequency of occurrence was not as much as Masan and Haengam Bays. Especially, in August and September most meteorological and physical factors or water quality environmental factors appeared to contribute to the occurrence of red tides. This indicates that red tides do not easily occur as they are controlled by various environmental factors particularly in these regions The discriminant functions were applied to predict red tides which they were actually occurred In Masan and Haengam Bays in June. The results showed that they were successful for the prediction of red tide at Haengam Bay but not at Masan Bay. The reason for their discrepancy in Masan Bay could have come from using a slight higher value of pH or COD in May, instead of its value in June.

진해만의 소규모 내만인 당항포만, 당동만, 원문만, 고현성만, 마산만에서의 해수교환율 평가를 위하여 EFDC 모델을 이용해 진해만 전체의 해수유동을 재현하고, 라그랑지(입자추적) 및 오일러(염료확산) 모델기법을 병행하여 해수교환율을 각각 산정하였다. 그 결과 입자추적 방법으로 산정한 해수교환율은 당항포만에서 60.84%로 가장 높고, 마산만에서 30.50%로 가장 낮게 평가되었고, 염료확산 방법으로 산정한 해수교환율은 당항포만에서 45.40%로 가장 높고, 마산만에서 34.65%로 가장 낮게 평가되었다. 당항포만에서 해수교환율이 가장 좋은 이유는 좁은 만 입구로 인한 유속의 가속화 때문이며, 입자추적 방법의 경우 입자가 빠져나갔다가 다시 들어오기 힘든 형태적 특성 때문으로 판단되었다. 한편, 라그랑지 입자의 경우 낙조류에 의해 만을 빠져나갔다가 창조류에 의해 다시 유입될 때 온전한 입자가 그대로 유입하지만, 염료의 경우에는 만을 빠져나간 후 다시 유입하더라도 외해수에 의해 희석되어 유입하기 때문에 염료확산 방법으로 산정한 해수교환율이 전반적으로 더 높게 나타나는 경향을 보였고, 두 가지 방법에 의해 산정된 해수교환율은 같은 조건에서 비교하더라도 상대적으로 전혀 다르게 나타났다. 따라서, 해수교환율을 평가할 때에는 이 두 가지 방법을 병행하거나, 연구의 목적 및 해역의 특성을 충분히 고려하여 모델링 기법을 선정해야만 보다 합리적인 결과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 한편, 폐쇄도 지수와 라그랑지 및 오일러 방법으로 산정한 해수교환율을 비교한 결과, 폐쇄도 지수가 높을수록 수치모형 기법에 상관없이 해수교환율이 높게 나타났다. 따라서, 폐쇄도 지수가 만의 폐쇄성을 지시하는 지수로 사용하기에 적합하지 않고 수정 및 보완이 필요하다고 판단되었다.

To evaluate the bacteriological water quality in Yongnam-Gwangdo, located in western Jinhae Bay, seawater samples were analyzed using sanitary indicator bacteria at 57 sampling stations. According to survey results from January 2007 to December 2009, the range of the geometric mean and the estimated 90th percentile for coliforms and fecal coliforms in the samples were <1.8-16.5 and 1.8-246.8 MPN/100 mL and <1.8-7.1 and 1.8-74.8 MPN/100 mL, respectively. The samples, including those taken from stations located in Wonmunman, Gwangdo, and Dangdong, showed high levels of microbial contamination caused by the climate and weather patterns in the marine environment. The bacteriological water quality in the area met Korean criteria for a designated shellfish growing area for export and National Shellfish Sanitation Program criteria for an approved shellfish growing area, except at station #49. A total of 24 direct pollution sources were discharged into the shellfish growing area. The radius of impact was calculated for each pollution source to assess the effect on the shellfish growing area. The calculated radius of impact for most of the pollution sources was below 300 m. However, the radius of impact for the combined pollution sources in Kyeonnaeryang was 93-1973 m. There were significant differences between the calculated closed sea area and actual monitoring results. The closed sea area values calculated from the fecal coliform load in drainage water tended to be higher than the actual monitoring results. Tidal currents and environmental factors such as salinity, water temperature, sunlight, and microbiological factors affect the survival of fecal indicator bacteria in seawater.
