A new method was proposed to control Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) by a biosurfactant sophorolipid. The effect of sophorolipid on the growth, motility, precipitation, and recovery of algal cells was investigated for four common HAB species, Scripsiella trochoidea, Prorocentrum minimum, Cochlodinium polykrikoides, and Heterosigma akashiwo. The motility and growth of algal cells were inhibited significantly at the concentration of 20 and 5 mg/l sophorolipid, respectively, and no recovery was observed under the above concentrations. The concentration of 20 mg/l sophorolipid was considered to be an effective concentration for the mitigation of HABs. A sedimentation test suggested that the maximum precipitation occurred at the end of 1 h, and the algicidal effect of sophorolipid was observed by a microscope. Comparative study showed that sophorolipid had marked algicidal capability. Analysis on biodegradability, toxicity, and cost effectiveness further demonstrated the potential of sophorolipid in future HABs mitigation.

Mortality of several species of fish and shellfish exposed to Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) caused by Cochlodinium polykrikoides, Heterosigam akashiwo, Alexandrium tamarense, Eutreptiella gymnastica, Heterocapsa triquetra and Prorocentrum micans was studied. When fish were exposed to a cell density of 8,000 cells $mL^{-1}$ in C. polykrikoides, $35\%$ of flatfish and darkbanded rockfish died within 48 hrs. However, jacopever rockfish had mortality of higher than $85\%$. Rock bream, filefish and red sea bream showed $100\%$ mortality within 10 hrs with an exposure cell density of 8,000 cells $mL^{-1}$. The rest of HABs except for C. polykrikoides showed that there was no fish and shellfish death throughout the 48 hrs even in the maximum cell density of 100,000 cells $mL^{-1}$ These results imply that C. polykrikoides can have a serious impact on fish mortality and it is regarded as an ichthyotoxic dinoflagellate. The fish death may be attributed to anoxia caused by a combination of the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and polysaccharide from C. polykrikoides during blooms.

Measurements of ocean color from space since 1970s provided vital information with reference to physical and biogeochemical properties of the oceanic waters. The utility of these data has been explored in order to map and monitor highly toxic/or harmful algal blooms (HABs) that affected most of coastal waters throughout the world due to accelerated eutrophication from human activities and certain oceanic processes. However, the global atmospheric correction and bio-optical algorithms developed for oceanic waters were found to yield false information about the HABs in coastal waters. The present study aimed to evaluate the potential use of red tide index (RI) method, which has been developed by Ahn and Shanmugam (2005), for mapping of HABs in Korean and neighboring waters. Here we employed the SSMM to remove the atmospheric effect in the SeaWiFS image data and the achieved indices by RI method were found more appropriate in correctly identifying potential areas of the encountered HABs in Korean South Sea (KSS) and Chinese coastal waters during 1999-2004. But the existence of high absorbing and scattering materials greatly interfered with the standard OC4 algorithm which falsely identified red tides in these waters. In comparison with other methods, the RI approach for the early detection of HABs can provide state managers with accurate identification of the extent and location of these blooms as a management tool.

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) of Cochlodinium polykrikoides frequently occur around the South Sea of Korea, causing. economic losses in coastal breeding grounds. HAB outbreak scale usually changes each year depending on physical, biological and environmental conditions. Relatively large-scale HABs occurred in 1995, 1997, 1999, 2001, 2002 and 2003 with respect to spatial scale, duration and maximum density. Considering HAB scale and temperature distributions around the South Sea, we found that low coastal temperatures in August correspond to enormous HAB outbreaks. Cold waters created by coastal upwellings around the southeastern coast of Korea also corresponded to these outbreaks. Serial oceanographic investigations in August in the South Sea revealed that sea surface temperature anomalies had distinctively negative values when large-scale HAB outbreaks appeared. With regard to temperature differences between the surface and the 30-m layer, there was a tendency for large-scale outbreaks when temperature gradients around the seasonal thermocline weakened.

The toxic, Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) caused by the Cochlodinium polykrikoides have a serious impact on the coastal waters of Korea. In this study, the acoustic detection system was developed for rapid HABs detection, based on the acoustic backscattering properties of the C. polykrikoides. The developed system was mainly composed of a pulser-receiver board, a signal processor board, a control board, a network board, a power board, ultrasonic sensors (3.5 and 5.0 MHz), an environmental sensor, GPS, and a land-based control unit. To evaluate the performance of the system, a trail was done at a laboratory, and two in situ trials were conducted: (1) when there was no red tide, and (2) when there was red tide. In the laboratory evaluation, the system performed well in accordance with the number of C. polykrikoides in the received level. Second, under the condition when there was no red tide in the field, there was a good correlation between the acoustic data and sampling data. Finally, under the condition when there was red tide in the field, the system successfully worked at various densities in accordance with the number of C. polykrikoides, and the results corresponded with the sampling data and monitoring result of NFRDI (National Fisheries Research & Development Institute). From the laboratory and field evaluations, the developed acoustic detection system for early detecting HABs has demonstrated that it could be a significant system to monitor the occurrence of HABs in coastal regions.

국립수산과학원과 지역자치단체의 적조모니터링 결과를 바탕으로 해양환경 변동이 적조발생에 미치는 영향을 규명하였다. 1972년 적조 모니터링이 시작된 이후, 1980년대에서 1990년대까지 적조 발생은 지속적으로 증가를 하였으며, 1998년 109건의 최다 적조발생 이후 2010년대까지 감소 추세를 보이고 있다. 1970년대는 대부분 규조 적조가 발생하였으며, 1980년대에는 연안성 와편모조류가 주로 적조를 일으켰으며, 1993년 이후 Cochlodinium polykrikoides 적조가 지속적으로 발생하고 있다. 우리나라에서 수산피해를 일으킨 유해 적조생물은 3종이다. 1981년 진해만에서 Karenia mikimotoi에 의한 고밀도 적조가 발생하여 패류가 대량 폐사하였다. 1992년 통영해역에서 Karenina sp.에 의한 적조가 발생하여 양식어류를 폐사시켰으며, 1995년 C. polykrikoides 적조로 765억 원의 최대 규모의 수산피해가 발생한 이후 지속적으로 발생하고 있다. 연안해역의 영양염 농도는 1980년대에 가장 높았으며, 1990년 중반 이후 매우 감소하고 있다. 이러한 영양염 감소는 적조발생 감소를 잘 설명해 준다. 2016년 이후 30℃이상의 여름 고수온이 나타나며 C. polykrikoides의 적조 발생 범위와 규모는 매우 감소하였다. 2016년 K. mikimotoi 적조가 전남 장흥~고흥 해역에 발생하였으며, C. polykrikoides 적조는 여수해역에만 발생하였다. 2017년은 C. polykrikoides 적조 발생이 없었으며, Alexandrium affine 적조가 전남 여수~경남 통영해역까지 발생하였다. 2018년은 평년에 비해 소규모 C. polykrikoides 적조가 발생하였다. 본 연구결과 우리나라 연안의 영양염 감소와 기후변화로 인한 고수온은 적조 발생에 영향을 주는 것으로 판단된다.

Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs), caused by Cochlodinium polykrikoides that causative fishery mortality, impact on aquaculture and economic loss appear particularly in summer and fall seasons in the Korean seas. It was studied on characteristics of HABs in the South Sea of Korea by using satellite and in-situ data. The in-situ data encompassed oceanic and meteorological data from July to October 2002-2008 and satellite data from July to October 2002-2006. Chlorophyll concentrations were calculated using Seaviewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor images by an Ocean Color (OC4) algorithm, and HABs were estimated using the Red tide index Chlorophyll Algorithm (RCA). The HAB occurrences were dominant when water temperature was $22.6-28^{\circ}C$ in August. The frequency of the individual numbers during 2002-2008, the HABs more than 1000 cells/ml (alert condition), were 73.57 %. In meteorological data from July to September during 2002-2008, the average precipitation, the mean air temperature, the mean wind speed and direction, and the sunshine were 9.31 mm/day, $24.07^{\circ}C$, 2.34 m/s and easterly, and 1-11 h, respectively. Our results suggest that the upwelling is caused by southwesterly wind in summer season and the Tsushima Warm Current which have influenced on the dispersion and moving of HAB (chlorophyll). In addition, the fresh water from Nakdong River, as the source of nutrients, also influences the occurrence of HABs.

우리나라 4대강 사업에 의해 건설된 낙동강의 달성보와 함안보, 금강의 세종보와 백제보, 영산강의 송촌보와 죽산보를 대상으로 3차원 수리-수질모델을 이용하여 가동보 운영에 따른 수질 및 녹조 현상 예측 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 가동보를 전면 개방하였을 때, 금강과 영산강에서는 상류에 위치한 세종보와 승촌보에서 연중 및 하절기 Chl-a 농도와 남조류 농도가 감소되는 것으로 예측되었으나, 하류에 위치하는 백제보와 죽산보에서는 하절기에 모두 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. 금강과 영산강에서 수문이 닫힌 경우, 상류에서는 체류시간이 증가하여 조류가 성장에 필요한 용존성 무기인을 충분히 섭취하면서 조류 농도가 증가하지만, 하류에서는 용존성 무기인이 고갈되어 상대적으로 조류의 성장이 제한되는 현상이 발생하는 것으로 분석된다. 반면 낙동강의 달성보 및 함안보에서는 연평균과 하절기 평균 농도가 모두 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 낙동강에서는 금강과 영산강과 같이 용존성 무기인의 농도가 심각하게 증가하지 않은 반면 수문 개방으로 수심이 감소함에 따라 조류가 이용하는 평균 광량이 증가하면서, 조류의 성장이 증가한 것으로 분석된다. 결과적으로 수문을 전면 개방 또는 폐쇄하였을 경우, 녹조현상 발생 특성은 위치에 따라 수리학적 체류시간, 용존성 무기인 농도 및 수위변화에 따른 광량의 변화 등에 의해 서로 다르게 나타나는 것으로 분석된다.

In this study we conducted a weekly monitoring exercise at a fixed station in the saltwater zone during the dry season (Jan-Mar, 2013) and wet season (Jun-Aug, 2013) to understand the fluctuations in phytoplankton communities and environmental factors in the Youngsan River estuary altered by a dike constructed in the coastal area. Phytoplankton communities displayed seasonality; diatoms were dominant during the dry season whereas dinoflagellates were dominant during the wet season. T-test analysis showed that water temperature was significantly different between the seasons whereas freshwater discharge from the dike was not significantly different. This suggests that seasonal variations of phytoplankton are more likely affected by water temperature than freshwater discharge. However, a short-term fluctuation was also observed in response to freshwater discharge; freshwater species appeared during or after the discharge in the dry and wet seasons and blooms of harmful species developed after the discharge. Phytoplankton communities may be affected by changes in physical factors such as turbidity and salinity and nutrient supply resulting from freshwater discharge. Especially, the nutrient supply may directly contribute to the harmful algal blooms (HABs) composed of dinoflagellates which can adapt to low salinity after freshwater discharge.
