Experimental fishing operation by the shrimp beam trawl was carried out to investigate the bycatch in order to develop the selective fishing gear of the shrimp beam trawl fishery. The experimental trawling was performed by the prototype fishing gear in coast sea of Boryeong, Buan, Kangjin, Tongyeong and Geoje from 30 April to 13 November 2005. Bycatches of the experimental trawling were analyzed species composition, total length composition. The results obtained can be summarized as follows; Target fishes caught by the shrimp beam trawl were Palaemon gravieri, Crangon Hakodatei, Trachysalambria curvirostris, Parapenaeopsis tenellus, Rhynchocinetes uritai and Matapenaeus joyneri. And their fishing rate and total length range were 50.0%, 46.0%, 2.6%, 0.4%, 0.3%, 0.3% and 40-80mm, 40-80mm, 120-150mm, 60-80mm, 60-80mm, 60-120mm respectively. Bycatches caught by the shrimp beam trawl consisted of fishes of 30 kinds, 6 kinds of mollusk, 5 kinds of shellfishes and 3 kinds of crabs. The main fish was Engraulis japonicus, Platycephalus indicus, Paralichthys olivaceus, Leiognathus nuchalis and Conger myriaster, their occupied rate were 47.0%, 16.6%, 13.6%, 5.5%, 2.7% respectively, and their total length range were 60-150mm, 80-410mm, 80-600mm, 30-80mm and 150-460mm respectively.

This study is based on a series of numerical modeling experiments to understand the tidal circulation in the Kangjin Bay (KB). The tidal circulation in the KB is mostly controlled by the inflow from two channels, Noryang and Daebang which introduce the open ocean water into the northern part of the KB with relatively strong tidal current, while in the southern part of the KB, shallowest region of the entire study area, weak tidal current prevails. The model prediction of the sea level agrees with observed records at skill scores exceeding 90 % in terms of the four major tidal constituents (M2, S2, K1, O1). However, the skill scores for the tidal current show relatively lower values of 87, 99, 59, 23 for the semi-major axes of the constituents, respectively. The tidal ellipse parameters in the KB are such that the semi-major axes of the ellipse for M2 range from 1.7 to 38.5 cm/s and those for S2 range from 0.5 to 14.4 cm/s. The orientations of the major-axes show parallel with the local isobath. The eccentricity values at various grid points of ellipses for M2 and S2 are very low with 0.2 and 0.06 on the average, respectively illustrating that the tidal current in the KB is strongly rectilinear. The magnitude of the tidal residual current speed in the KB is on the order of a few cm/s and its distribution pattern is very complex. One of the most prominent features is found to be the counter-clockwise eddy recirculation cell at the mouth of the Daebang Channel.

The chemical, elemental and biochemical components of the suspended particulate matter (SPM) were investigated in order to quantify particulate organic matter (POM) and assess diet quality for suspension feeders in the southern coastal bay systems of Korea where the marine farming of the suspension feeders are most active, The intense field observation program was carried out seasonally in the three coastal bay systems of Chinhae, Gosung and Kangjin bays, The SPM was characterized as collective properties of organic carbon (POC), nitrogen (PON), phosphorus (PP) and more refined collective properties of protein (PPr), carbohydrate (PCHO) and chlorophyll a (Chl a) compound. Although the three coastal bays are regarded as phytoplankton based ecosystem, the SPM is not composed entirely with phytoplankton cells. Due to the shallow water depth, resuspension of bottom sediment contributes significantly to some of the regions. Therefore, concentration of SPM in the surface water did not co-vary with Chl a or PPr, PCHO. In general, temporal variation of POC, PON and Chl a contents in seawater were closely associated with phytoplankton biomass in the three coastal bays, However, PPr and PCHO contents in seawater were higher in Chinhae bay than in Gosung and Kangjin bays and Chl a PPr-N ratio was higher in Chinhae bay than in Kosung and Kangjin bays, since Chinhae bay is more eutrophicated than other bays. Average C : N ratios from regressions of POC and PON of SPM were 6.6, 6.6 and 5.0 in Chinhae, Gosung and Kangjin bays, respectively. SPM in Chinhae and Gosung bays appears to be made of largely phytoplankton cells and SPM in Kangjin bay appears to be contributed from the bacterial biomass due to the shallow water depth. N : P ratios from regressions of PON and PP of SPM were 10.8 and 14.7 in spring, and 18.2 and 24.6 in Chinhae and Gosung bays, respectively. With respect to the hypothetical Redfield molecule, phytoplankton appears to be limited by the lack of N and f in spring and summer, respectively, in the two bays, In Kangjin bay, N : P ratios from regressions of PON and PP of SPM were varied from 6.3 to 12.8 throughout the year. The low N : P ratio with resepct to the hypothetical Redfield molecule, phytoplankton growth appears to be limited by the lack of N-nutrients.

The significant chemical components estimating the quality of green tea were compared and analyzed in the shoots of Korean native tea plants. The results are summarized as follows. The contents of total nitrogen in tea leaves were in range of $3.59{\sim}4.89%$, and the tea plants grown wildly in Bosong Daewonsa, Hwasun Ssangbongsa, Shunchun Changchun-ri, Hadong Ssanggyesa. and the cultivated tea plants in Kangjin Jangwon Sanup had higher contents of total nitrogen. The contents of tannin ranged from 12.5 to 18.3%. The contents of tannin of Kuryoi Chonunsa (18.3%), Kangjin Baekryonsa (16.7%) and Naju Bulhoisa (16.4%) were higher than those of Yangkwang Chonma-ri (12.5%), Hampyong Yongam-ri (12.7%) and Yosu Udu-ri (12.8%). The contents of caffeine were in range of $2.21{\sim}3.11%$. The contents of caffeine of Kwangju Shamae Dawon (3.11%), Kangjin Jangwon Sanup (2.94%) and Shunchun Changchun-ri(2.87%) were higher than those of Tamyang Yanggak-ri(2.21%), Yosu Udu-ri(2.23%) and Kuryoi Hwaomsa (2.23%). The contents of vit. C were in range of $167.9{\sim}223.5mg/100g$. The contents of vit. C of Changsong Oshan-ri (167.9mg/100g), Shunchun Shongkwangsa (185.6mg/100g) and Yongkwang Chonma-ri (185.8mg/100g) were lower than those of Kwangju Shamae Dawon (291.5mg/100g), Kangjin Jangwon Sanup (271.8mg/100g) and Shunchun Changchun-ri (269.5mg/100g). The contents of chlorophyll were in range of $187.4{\sim}332.7mg/100g$, and the mean contents were in range of 242.0mg/100g. The contents of total amino acids were in range of $1,888{\sim}2,500mg/100g$. The content of total amino acid at Kangjin Jangwon Sanup was the highest as 2,500mg/100g, and that of Shunchon Shongkwangsa was the lowest as 1,888mg/100g. Results of this study suggest that the native tea plants naturally grown at Bosong Daewonsa, Hwasun Ssangbongsa, Shunchun Changchun-ri, Hadong Ssanggyesa, and the cultivated tea plants at Kangjin Jangwon Sanup show excellent quality in terms of abundance of total nitrogen and total amino acids, and less contents of tannin.

This study was carried out to investigate characteristics and Pb(II) removal effect of natural Muan, Seosan, Kangjin clays in the batch mode test to develope the low-priced treatment agent of wastewater which contain heavy metals in order structural, optical properties and chemical compositions of natural clays from domestic have been investigated to have high specific surface area and have minerals such as $SiO_2$ and $Al_2O_3$. As a result, removal effects of Pb(II) ions on clays were reached at equilibrium in aqueous solutions by stirring about 20minutes. The removal effect of Pb(II) ions was best for Seosan clay than Muan or Kangjin clays in terms of fixed time. The results show the possibility of continuous treatment system of wastewater which contain heavy metals by using natural clays from domestic.

This study analyzed the current meter records along with wind records for over 500 days obtained in the Kangjin Bay, South Sea, Korea spanning from March, 2003 to Nov. 2005. Various analyses include descriptive statistics, harmonic analysis of tidal constituents, spectra and coherence, the principal axis, progressive vector diagrams. These analyses can illustrate the response of residual current to the local wind resulting in the net drift with rotational motion. Current speed ranges from -28 to 33 (cm/sec), with standard deviations from 6.5 to 12.9 (cm/sec). The harmonic analyses of the tidal current show the average form number, 0.12 with semi-diurnal type and the rectilinear orientation of the major axis toward northeast. The magnitudes of the semi-major range from 12.7 to 17.7 (cm/sec) for M2 harmonics, while for S2 harmonics, they range from 6.3 to 10.4 (cm/sec), respectively. In the spectral and coherency analysis of residual current and wind, a periodicity of 13.6 (day) is found to be most important in both records and plays an important role in the net drift of residual current. The progressive vector diagrams of residual current and wind show two types of behaviors such as unidirectional drift and rotational motion. It was also found that 3 % rule holds approximately to drive 1 (cm/sec) drift current by 30 (cm/sec) wind speed based on the correlation of the semi-major axis of wind and residual current.

Sixty local soybean cultivars were evaluated on the antioxidative activity by superoxide dismutase (SOD), 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), thiobarbituric acid(TBA), and chemiluminescence using the FI-CL system. Soybean were collected throughout the country, and were grown over two years (1997 and 1998) for measuring antioxidative activity in soybean seeds. There were differences in antioxidative activity depen-ding on the method of measurement and variation of the crop year. Soybeans from Kwangyang-shi-1 (76.78%) in 1997 and Kangjin-gun-3(79.14%) in 1998 showed the highest SOD activity, whereas those from Hwasoon-gun (80.43%) in 1997 and Kangjin-gun-2 (49.82 %) in 1998 exhibited the highest DPPH activity. Soybeans from Chongup-gun-2 (75.77%) in 1997 and from Yochon-shi-5 (69.17%) in 1998 exhibited the highest TBA activity, and those from Jinahn-gun (48.99%) in 1997 and Kohung-gun (49.73%) in 1998 exhibited the highest activity using the chemiluminescence method. These results suggest that it may be possible to develop soybean varieties with higher antioxidative activity.

The infection stasus of the loaches, Misgurnus anguillicaudatus, with the metacercariae of Echinostoma hortense, was studied in Korea. A total of 154 loaches purchased at 4 local markets (Seoul, Kimhae, Naju-gun and Kangjin-gun) were examined their infection rate as well as the density and location of the metacercariae in the fish body. The results are as follows: 1. The loaches carrying the metacerariae of E. hortense were 64 (41.6%) in total number and the metacercarial density ranged 1-29 per infected loach with an average value of 8.1. The highest infection rate and metacercarial density were obtained from the loaches purchased at Kangjin-gun, Jeonranam-do. 2. The metacercariae of E. hortense were chiefly distributed in the distal intestinal wall and the adjacent mesentery, the perianal tissues, and the head and gill of the loaches examined. From the results, it is concluded that the loach is one of the important second intermediate hosts of E. hortense in Korea, and their infection rate and metacercarial density are considerably high.
