In this study, Echo-sounder($E_s$) monitoring methodology was applied to test environmental impacts of artificial weirs(SCW and JSW) in the Yeongsan River on fish community and habitat structures at first time, and was compared with conventional fish sampling methodologies($C_s$). For the Es monitoring in the fields, parallel transect methods was employed in determining the survey distance interval with every 125 m within the upper-lower 2 km of the weirs. Four different fish sampling gears such as casting nets, kick nets, fyke nets, and gill nets were used for applications of $C_s$ monitoring methodology. According to the Echo-sounder monitoring, fish density, expressed as a number of individuals per square meter, along the longitudinal axis of the weir was significantly greater(JSW, t = 3.506, n = 30, p < 0.001) in the down-river reach of the weir than in the up-river reach. Also, fish density along the vertical water column was highest at mid-depths of Seungchon weir, which has simple habitat substrates, while fish density was highest at hypolimnetic depth of Juksan weir. According to fish sampling by the $C_s$ methodology, the fish compositions decreased as the river goes upward, and significant differences(JSW, t = 0.248, n = 30, p < 0.05) in the compositions of fish species occurred between up-reach and down-reach of the weirs. The dominant species near the two weirs were Opsarichthys uncirostris amurensis, Hemiculter eigenmanni and Coilia nasus. Overall, our fish and habitat data, based on $E_s$ and $C_s$ monitoring methodologies, suggest that the weirs disturbed the rivers due to initial habitat disturbances by the weir constructions as well as the barrier roles of weirs on fish passage and migrations. More long-term scientific and systematic fish impact monitoring and assessments($E_s$ and $C_s$) are required in the future to predict changes of ecological structures and functions on the constructions of the weirs.

본 연구의 목적은 낙동강 내에 위치한 강정고령보 구간을 대상으로 EFDC 모델을 검정하고, 보 구간의 유량에 따른 체류시간과 유입수 인 농도 변화가 수질 및 조류 그룹별(규조류, 녹조류, 남조류) 생체량에 미치는 영향을 평가하는데 있다. 2018년 실험자료를 이용하여 모델을 검정한 결과, 보 구간의 수위와 수온의 수직 분포, DO, 유기물, 질소, 인 계열의 시계열 변화를 적절히 모의하였다. 조류 그룹별 생체량 예측에 있어서는 계절별 변동 특성은 적절히 재현하였으나, 일부기간에 실측값과 편차가 크게 나타났다. 보의 관리수위와 유량을 조절하는 시나리오 모의결과, 보의 운영 수위를 낮출수록 유량을 증가시킬수록 수온성층이 완화 또는 해소되는 것으로 분석되었다. 강정고령보에서 수온성층이 해소된 유속은 약 0.1 m/s였으며, 이는 금강의 백제보에서 연구결과와 일치한다. 2Q 유량 시나리오 모의결과, Chl-a는 8.7% 감소하였고 규조류와 녹조류 세포수 밀도도 감소하였다. 하지만 남조류 세포수는 오히려 증가하였는데, 그 이유는 유량이 증가함에 따라 유속이 빨라져 상류경계조건의 높은 남조류 농도가 하류에 직접 영향을 끼친 것으로 나타났다. 유입수 인 부하 농도(평균 0.056mg/L)를 50% 수준으로 저감하는 시나리오 모의결과, Chl-a는 13.6 % 감소하였다. 연구결과는 강정고령보의 조류 과잉성장을 억제하기 위해서는 수리학적 제어와 함께 상류 유입 조류 농도와 인 부하량 저감이 동시에 고려되어야 함을 시사한다.

섬진강 수계 210개 지방하천을 대상으로 하천연장과 보 밀도 대비 어류 출현종 현황을 분석하였다. 하천연장에 따른 어류 출현종수는 비선형지수함수 (Nonlinear exponential relationship) 관계를 보였다. 모델에 따른 계수값 (b)은 0.03이며, 결정계수(R²)은 약 59.0%인 것으로 나타났다. 모델식에 따른 예측기대종수는 실제 출현종수와 차이를 보였으며, 대상하천 가운데 약 110개 하천 (약 52.4%)에서 실제 출현종수는 예측기대종수보다 낮게 나타났다. 한편 섬진강 수계 하천에서 나타난 평균 보 밀도는 약 2.7개/km였으며, 이는 타 수계 하천과 비교시 월등히 높은 수치였다. 보 밀도 지표 (Index of Weir's Density, IWD)에 따른 어류출현종수간의 2-DKS 분석 결과 어류 다양성에 영향을 주는 보 밀도 역치값 (Threshold value)은 약 2.5개/km인 것으로 나타났다 (D_max=0.048, p<0.05). 실제 보 밀도 지표가 역치값 이상인 경우 어류 출현종수 대비 기대 종수비율은 70% 미만으로 낮아졌다. 따라서, 향후 수생태계 연속성 확보를 위한 보 밀도는 역치값 이하로 관리하는 것이 필요하다.

Insomuch as it is important to manage water quality, from the perspective of water management, it is essential to understand the effect of the weirs on water quality and phytoplankton dynamics in various regions. The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of nitro-nutrients, as well as occurrences and succession patterns of phytoplankton, in the river sections of the two weirs in the Yeongsan River for the five years (from 2012 to 2016) after the weir construction. In respect to this data, the average water temperature measured at the representative point in the section of the Seungchon Weir ($17.1^{\circ}C$) was higher than that of the Juksan Weir ($16.6^{\circ}C$) by comparison. By way of an analysis of this data, it was found that the water quality variables such as, organic matter, nitrogen nutrients and phosphorus nutrients were improved gradually during the period, but the degree of the improvement differs as noted and measured between the weirs. Under the circumstances, it is especially noted that the $NH_3-N$ concentration was higher for the point of the Seungchon Weir (2.204 mg/L) than that of the Juksan Weir (1.157 mg/L). This indicates that effluent as seen from sewage treatment plants and hydrological feature near the densely population area, could be the main cause for the incidence of water pollution in the upstream section of the Seungchon Weir. Additionally, the phytoplankton analysis showed that a relative abundance of diatoms and green algae were 56.9 % and 25.8 % respectively. However, it is noted that the cyanobacteria was measured lower as 10.7 %. Also, in the study sites cell density and occurrence frequency of cyanobacteria were relatively lower than compared to the same measurements noted in other rivers.

Seungchon Weir was constructed in 2010 on the downstream region of Yeongsan River watershed for four major river projects. The purpose of our study was to determine whether fish compositions and distributions differ between the upper ($U_w$) and lower regions ($L_w$) of Seungchon Weir during May - December 2011 along with hydroacoustic fish surveys using Eco-Sounder monitoring ($E_SM$) technique. Total number of fish species sampled by conventional fish sampling at all sites was 29, and 21 and 24 species occurred in the $U_w$ and $L_w$, respectively. Most dominant species was Hemiculter eigenmanni (43%) in the $U_w$ and Opsaiichthys uncirostris amurensis (21%) in the $L_w$, indicating a distinct differences of the species composition. According to hydroacoustic approach of ESM, fish density was significantly higher (p < 0.05) in the $L_w$ section of 250 m than any other sections, This outcome indicates that fishes moving toward the upstream were blocked by weir construction. According to analysis of tolerance guilds, tolerant species (TS) were made of 88% and 79% in the $U_w$ and $L_w$ region, respectively, while the proportions of sensitive species were < 0.1% of the total in the both regions. Trophic guild analysis showed that the proportion of omnivore species were 58% and 40% in the $U_w$ and $L_w$ region, respectively, while insectivores were made of 16% and 21% in the $U_w$ and $L_w$ region, respectively. Both analyses of tolerance guilds and trophic guilds indicate the biological degradation of the waterbody. Fish community structure analysis, based on species diversity, dominance, and evenness indices, showed higher community stability in the $L_w$ region than $U_w$ region. Exotic species of largemouth bass were largely increased in this survey (14%), compared to the past (< 1%), indicating a modification of fish trophic structure.

Resident time of the continuous and Instantaneous centrifugal separator using that separates the light and heavy liquids by use of density difference is the orptical factor that affects significantly the chemical metial extraction and the productivity in the chemical and mechanical process. In this paper, the overflow of the device is investigated under consideration of the relationships between inclination angle of liquid feeding screw and the centrifugal force. From the design of the length of a centrifugal separator, the radiuses of rotor and housing, theoretical formulation on the contact radius of separation weir is established through the experiments. From the experiments, it is identified that how much the capacity of inlet impeller and the emulsion phenomenon depend on the screw angle of inlet impeller. Also, we investigate the separation condition and the resident times that are functions of the phase ratio and density.

Freshwater cyanobacterial genus Dolichospermum is one of the most commonly spotted types of phytoplankton, whereas a limited number of studies on morphology of Dolichospermum spp. have been performed in South Korea. The purpose of this study is to investigate the succession pattern of cyanobacteria after weir construction, as well as morphological characteristics of Dolichospermum spp. from natural samples collected in the weir regions of Nakdong River. A total of 31 cyanobacterial taxa observed in this study were classified as belonging to 15 genera, 5 families, and 3 orders. Among them, morphological characteristics in the four species were classified into genus Dolichospermum, for most of the planktic former members of the genus Anabaena, were observed through light microscopy. Water bloom frequently occurred in the middle region of Nakdong River, the maximum number of cyanobacterial species appeared in the lower region of Nakdong River. The appearance of order Chrooccocales was only observed during summer when population density of Microcystis aeruginosa reached an annual peak. In contrast, filamentous cyanobacteria was observed throughout the whole year, even if when water temperature was lower than $5^{\circ}C$. It implied that the low-temperature-adapted filamentous cyanobacteria can grow in a range of water temperatures. Coil diameter of D. crassum from natural samples was $75{\sim}140{\mu}m$ ($ave.=91.3{\mu}m$; n = 94), slightly larger than those reported by previous studies. Dolichospemum smithii ($Kom{\grave{a}}rek$) Wacklin et al. 2009, was described for the first time in Nakdong River.

본 연구의 목적은 낙동강에 위치한 칠곡보와 강정고령보 구간을 대상으로 3차원 EFDC 모델을 구축하고, 보 구간의 운영 수위 저하 및 유속 증가와 같은 수리학적 특성 변화가 수질과 조류 생체량에 미치는 영향을 평가하는데 있다. 보정결과, EFDC 모델은 10분 단위의 고빈도로 측정된 상층과 하층 수온의 시간적 변화를 적절하게 모의하였고, 유기물, 질소, 인계열 수질항목과 남조류의 시계열 변화를 적절히 재현하였다. 하지만, 규조류와 녹조류 세포 밀도에 대해서는 모의값이 실측값을 과대 산정하였다. 규조류와 녹조류 예측의 오차 요인은 조류의 신진대사와 관련된 매개변수의 불확실성과 동물플랑크톤에 의한 포식기능이 모의에 포함되지 않은 것에 기인한 것으로 유추된다. 강정고령보의 보 운영 수위를 관리수위(EL. 19.44 m)에서 하한수위(EL. 14.9 m)까지 약 4.54 m 낮추어 운영하는 시나리오 모의결과, Chl-a와 조류 세포수 밀도가 급격히 감소했다. 특히, 녹조를 발생시키는 남조류 세포 수는 기존 관리수위에 비해 하한수위 시나리오에서 표층 기준 56.1% 급감하였다. 연구결과는 임계유속 유지가 남조류 제어에 효과적이라는 선행연구들과 일치하며, 강정고령보에서 수위 저하와 체류시간 감소와 같은 수리학적 조절은 조류의 과잉 성장을 제한 할 수 있는 대안임을 시사한다.

It is difficult to count colonial cyanobacteria Microcystis cells since the thickness of colonies is constrained by amorphous mucilage, making it impossible to estimate the number of cells. Disaggregation of Microcystis colonies into single cell is needed to improve the accuracy and precision of cell density estimation of naturally collected samples. Uultrasonic treatment method is commonly used owing to the simplicity and immediacy of the procedure. However, amplitude, frequency, and duration of ultrasonic treatment also cause cell loss during the experiment. Optimal ultrasonic treatment has not been standardized yet. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate optimal ultrasonic treatment by analyzing cell density and colony numbers. We collected colonial Microcystis from Changnyeong-Haman weir area in Nakdong River during harmful algal boom period from September to October in 2017. Ultrasonic treatment method was applied to disrupt colonies into single cells to enumerate cell density. Among treatment conditions, results from continuously treated for 100 seconds were found to be the optimum to reduce colonies to a suspension of single cell without cell losses under high and low density of Microcystis cells. Lugol iodine fixed cells followed by sonication showed less negative impact of cell damage within the optimal treatment time (100 seconds). Furthermore, disaggregated cells treated by sonication enables microscopic observation more easily since gas vacuoles were collapsed to facilitate sedimentation of cells under the counting chamber for quantitative enumeration of buoyant Microcystis cells.
