A seasonal circulation pattern in the eastern Yellow Sea (EYS) is suggested from the water mass analysis and geostrophic calculation using the hydrographic data collected by National Fisheries Research and Development Institute during the years of 1970 to 1990. This research focuses on the presence of inflow of warm (and saline) waters into EYS in summer. EYS is divided into two regions in this paper: the west coast of Korea (WCK) and the central Yellow Sea (CYS). In CYS, waters are linked with warm waters near Cheju Island in winter, but with cold waters from the north in summer (in the lower layer). It is not simple to say about WCK because of the influences of freshwater input and tidal mixing. Nevertheless, water mass analysis reveals that along WCK, waters have the major mixing ratios (40-60%) of warm waters in summer, while the dominant mixing ratios (50-90%) of cold waters in winter. Such a seasonal change of water mass distribution can be explained only by seasonal circulation. In winter, warm waters flow northward into CYS and cold waters flow southward along WCK. In summer, warm waters flow northward along WCK and cold waters flow southward into CYS. This circulation pattern is supported by both statistical analysis and dynamic depth topography. Accordingly, Yellow Sea Warm Current may be defined as the inflow of warm waters to CYS in winter and to WCK in summer.

Seasonal variation in reproductive condition of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas was investigated from a suspended cultured oyster population in Gosung Bay, South Korea using histological techniques, Gametogenesis of oysters initiated in February when water temperature reached 11 to $13^\circ{C}$. Increase in oocyte size and the number resulting in follicle expansion was observed from March to May First spawning of oysters observed in mid Jun when the surface water temperature reached 22 to $25^\circ{C}$. Spawning activity of oysters extended from mid June to late September with two marked spawning peaks in June and August. Most oysters collected from October to December exhibited few residual eggs in packed follicles exhibiting a typical spent condition. No gametes were observed from December to February from oysters collected in the Bay. Gonadal development of oysters in the Bay seemed to follow a seasonal fluctuation in environmental conditions such as water temperature and food availability in the water column. Spawning of oysters in late June was in part associated with sudden drop in salinity due to vast amount of freshwater input in the Bay after the summer flooding. Sex ratio of oysters was 59.5% male and 39.8% female. Less than 1 percent (0.6%) of the oysters examined were hermaphrodite; few eggs were observed in testis.

영일만의 식물플랑크돈의 분포와 수괴의 수리적 특성과의 상호관계에 관한 연 구가 1983년 12월부터 1984년 7월에 걸쳐 이루어졌다. 식물플랑크톤 현존량의 시간 적 변화는 수괴의 수직적 안정도와 영양염의 공급을 수반한 담수의 유입과 밀접한 관계를 보였다. 우점종의 시간적 동태는 일반적인 천이양상과 일치하였고, 특히 Skeletonema costatum은 매 조사시기마다 우점종으로 나타났다. 식물플랑크톤의 색소량과 개체수는 세포의 크기변화에 따른 차이는 있어도 전반적으로 좋은 상관관 계를 보였다. 다변량분석에 따른 조사해역의 구분은 수괴의 수리적 특성과 식물플 랑크톤의 분포양상과의 상호연관성을 잘 반영하고 있다.

In order to study on the variational characteristics of water quality and chlorolphyll a concentration the water samples were collected daily or three times a week during the period from April 1990 to November 1991 at Kukdong port located in the northern Kamak bay of Southern Korea I made an analysis on biological factor as chlorophyll a concentration as well as physico-chemical factors such as water temperature salinity sigma-t dissolved oxygen, nutrients (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, and silicate) N/P ratio and chemical oxygen demand. In Northern Kamak bay seasonal variations in physical factors such as water temperature salinity and sigma-t were very marked. On the other hand chemical factors such as nutrients concentration and COD were not so. Chemical factors, in particular silicate were influenced by input of freshwater. And the roles of silicate on the seasonal succession of phytoplankton species composition was very low. Phytoplankton biomass as measured by chlorophyll a concentration was very high all the year round and it was controlled by the combination of several factors especially of N/P ratio determined by dissolved inorganic nitrogen.

We evaluated the performance of in-situ capping to prevent the release of phenol, one of hazardous chemicals of concern for their impact on sediment. Sediment near the estuary of Hyeongsan River, Korea, and commercially-available sand were collected to evaluate their physical properties and phenol sorption characteristics. Biodegradation kinetics of phenol spiked into the sediment was evaluated under freshwater and estuarine salinity conditions. These experimental measurements were parameterized and used as input parameters for executing CapSim, a software predicting the performance of in-situ capping. The CapSim simulation demonstrated that capping with 50-cm sand reduced the phenol release by several orders of magnitude over 0.25- and 1-year duration for almost all simulation scenarios. The variables tested, i.e., cap thickness, pore-water movement, and biodegradation rate, showed high correlation to each other to influence the extent of phenol release from sediment to the water column. The findings and the framework employed to evaluate the performance of in-situ capping in this study can be adopted to determine whether in-situ capping is appropriate remedial approach at sediment sites impacted by hazardous chemicals due to accidental spills.

The Tonle Sap is the richest and diverseness of freshwater ecosystem in Southeast Asia, receiving nurturing water flows from the Mekong and its immediate basin. In addition, the rapid development in the Tonle Sap Lake (TSL) Basin, and flood inundation may threaten the natural diversities and characteristics. The impacts of flood inundation in 11 sub-basins contributing to the Tonle Sap Lake were assessed using the Rainfall-Runoff-Inundation (RRI) model to quantify the potential magnitude and extent of the flooding. The RRI model is set up by using gauged rainfall data to simulate the information of river discharge and flood inundation of huge possible flood events. Moreover, two satellite precipitation products (SPPs), CHIRPS and GSMaP, within respectively spatial resolutions of 0.05° and 0.1°, are utilized as an input for the RRI model to simulate river discharge, flood depth, and flood extent for the great TSL Basin of Cambodia. This study used statistical indicators such as NSE, PBIAS, RSR, and R2 as crucial indices to evaluate the performance of the RRI model. Therefore, the findings of this study could provide promising guidance in hydrological modeling and the significant implications for flood risk management and disaster preparedness in the region.

Phytoplankton communities, with emphasis on picoplankton and nanoplankton, were investigated in Gamak Bay, South Korea, where freshwater input and coastal water intrusion shape ecosystem functions. Shellfish farms and fish farms are located in the inner bay and outer bay, respectively, and tides translocate uneaten food and urine production from aquaculture farms toward the inner bay. Water masses were distinctly different based on a significantly different density between the surface and bottom layer and among three water masses, including the inner bay, outer bay, and Yeosu Harbor. Phytoplankton communities were quantified using flow cytometry and size-fractionated chlorophyll-a (chl-a) was measured. Salinity was a principal variable separating phytoplankton communities between the surface and bottom layer, whereas Si(OH)₄ controlled the communities in the inner bay, and NH₄⁺ and PO₄^3- governed the outer bay communities. While phycocyanin-containing (PC) cyanobacteria dominated in the outer bay, phycoerythrin-containing (PE) cyanobacteria dominance occurred with cryptophyte dominance, indicating that nutrients affected the distribution of pico- and nanoplankton and that cryptophytes potentially relied on a mixotrophic mode by feeding on PE cyanobacteria. Interestingly, picoeukaryotes and eukaryotes larger than 10 ㎛ were mostly responsible for the ecological niche in the western region of the bay. Given that chl-a levels have historically declined, our study highlights the potential importance of increased small phytoplankton in Gamak Bay. Particularly, we urge an examination of the ecological role of small phytoplankton in the food supply of cultivated marine organisms.

내분비계 장애물질이 식물플랑크톤의 개체군 성장에 미치는 영향을 이해하고자 부영양 호수 및 하천에서 우점하는 남조 M. aeruginosa와 규조 S. hantzschii를 성장시기에 따라 자연수 농도의 10 ${\sim}$ l,000배까지 다양한 농도로 투여하고 현존량 및 형태적 변화를 조사하였다. Nonylphenol (NP)을 조류세포 배양초기나 대수성장기에 처리하였을 경우 농도 0.01 ppm이상에서 곧바로 성장억제 현상을 보였으며, 남조 M. aeruginosa가 규조 S. hantzschii보다 더 심한 억제현상을 보였다. 이에 반해 diethyhexyl phthalate(DEHP)의 경우에는 조류세포 성장시기나 처리농도에 상관없이 성장 억제 현상은 관찰되지 않았고, 실험 중 가장 높은 처리농도인 3.00 ppm 처리군에서는 오히려 대조군보다 10% 이상의 높은 성장을 나타냈다. 조류세포의 형태적 변화는 NP를 처리한 모든 실험군에서 조류세포의 색소체 변화가 뚜렷하였으며, M. aeruginosa 세포의 경우, 크기가 점차 작아지는 특징을 보였다. 결국 DEHP의 자연계로의 유출은 식물플랑크톤을 섭식하는 섬모충이나 동물플랑크톤의 성장을 억제하거나 M. aeruginosa 및 S. hantzschii와 같은 유해조류의 성장을 촉진함으로써 부영양수역 조류대발생의 중요한 요인으로 작용될 수 있음을 시사해주고 있다.

반폐쇄적인 구조의 천수만에서 환경요인과 동 식물플랑크톤 군집과의 관계를 파악해 보았다. 식물플랑크톤 군집은 계절에 따라 변하는 일사량과 수온 그리고 담수 유입에 따른 영양염 공급에 의해 조성변화가 일어났으며, 한 달 이내의 짧은 기간에 서해 연안의 다른 해역에서보다 큰 폭으로 변화하였다. 담수 방류가 겨울철(2월)에는 규조류의 증식에, 여름철(7~8월)에는 표층에 한해서 와편모류의 증식에 많은 영향을 미치고 있었으며, 식물플랑크톤 중 규조류 군집은 크기별 천이현상이 관측되었다. 동물플랑크톤은 먹이농도와 수온, 염분에 의해 군집의 구조가 변하고 있었으며, 주성분 분석 결과 계절변화와 그에 따른 식물플랑크톤 현존량 변동에 약 32%, 담수방류에 의해 약 17%정도의 영향을 받고 있는 것으로 추측되었다. 과거 1985-1986년, 1991-1992년과의 비교에서 주요 우점종인 Acartia hongi, Paracalanus parvus sensu lato, Centropages abdominalis는 비슷한 계절별 변동과 조성률을 보였으나 출현양은 과거보다 약 3배 이상 증가하였고, 요각류 이외의 다른 분류군에서는 조성의 변화가 관측되었다.

한강 하구의 염분 및 생태 환경에 관한 연구를 위하여 기존에 발표된 논문과 국립수산과학원의 국가해양환경측정망 자료를 이용하여 한강 하구의 염분 분포 특성을 구명하였으며, 염분과 연관하여 동식물플랑크톤, 저서생물 및 어류플랑크톤의 분포를 논의하였다. 염분의 시공간적 분포를 고려할 때 인천북항 주변 해역은 계절에 무관하게 연중 한강 유입수의 직접적인 영향을 받고 있으며, 담수 유입량이 많은 하계에는 팔미도 해역까지 담수 영향권이 확대되었다. 반면 해수의 직접적인 영향을 받는 상한선은 한강 본류인 경기도 김포시 고촌면 신곡리의 신곡수중보에 이르며, 해침이 상시적으로 발생하는 수역은 이보다 더 하류인 경기도 김포시 하성면 전류리로 판단된다. 동식물플랑크톤의 분포는 담수 및 해수 지역에서 혼재되어 분포하며, 일반적으로 염분의 분포 범위보다 훨씬 광범위한 분포를 보였다. 그러나 기수성 어류플랑크톤은 매우 제한된 수역에 분포하는 반면, 성어는 그 분포범위가 담수에서 해수에 이르는 광범위한 분포를 보였다. 경험적 분석에 의한 한강하구 환경의 문제점은 1)한강 하구 및 유수지역의 개발 압력에 따른 환경 파괴, 2)갯벌 매립에 의한 조간대 상실, 3)군사용 철책에 의한 육수전이환경(陸水轉移環境)의 생태적 단절이 매우 심각하였다.
