Fish community characteristics was investigated in Namyang Lake and tributaries in Han River basin, Korea from April to October 2015. During the period, there were 5,672 individuals of 20 species appeared from tributaries (St. 1~St. 6) and dominant species were Pseudorasbora parva (33.5%). Also 5,672 individuals of 20 species appeared in Namyang Lake (St. 7~St. 9) and dominant species were Carassius auratus (32.2%). There were 5 species of endemic species with Rhodeus uyekii, Acanthorhodeus gracilis, Squalidus japonicus coreanus, Abbottina springeri and Odontobutis interrupta from Namyang Lake watershed. The frequency of endemic species were higher tributaries (18.5%) than Namyang Lake (15%). Exotic species were 3 species with Carassius cuvieri, Lepomis macrochirus, and Micropterus salmoides. there were appeared more frequently Namyang Lake (15.0%) than tributaries(7.4%).

The purpose of this study was to analyze the transition process of Gyeongpo lake and to analyze the viewing characteristics of each period in the pavilion. The view characteristics at pavilion were analyzed by overlapping classification maps of landscape types by period with the view range map from pavilion. The circumference and area of Gyeongpo lake have been reduced to 15.2km and 3.9km² in the 1750s, 9.0km and 1.7km² in the 1933, and now 4.41km and 1.0km². By period, the largest decrease in the proportion of Gyeongpo lake viewed from Pavilion was Hwanseonjeong, which decreased by 48.0% from the 1750 to 2017. Hwallaejeong, Haeunjeong, and Hohaejeong were found to be impossible to view Gyeongpo lake as some of the adjacent lakes were changed to agricultural land. Pavilion has great significance as a space for traditional culture created in the background of humanities and natural environments. For the succession and development of Pavilion culture, it is necessary to use it as a cultural resource, to continuously manage the building, and to partially restore Gyeongpo lake considering the function of each pavilion.

Lake Biwa Canal was a dream project that reminds us the passion and innovation of Kyoto Citizens more than water supply. It is a modernization project combining engineering knowledge and scientific technology, which started transportation by ship through big-scale civil construction as well as supplying electricity as the first waterpower plant in Japan, and it overcame the physiographic limit through adopting unique method of waterway transportation. Lake Biwa Canal, which has tangible and intangible culture heritage value as the traditional space of Kyoto, the Old Capital of 1200 years, conceives a cultural meaning that is connected through various mutual relation as well as scientific technologic factor. Lake Biwa Canal is not only the function for supplying water to gardens and temples of Kyoto region, but it is also a cultural fruit that is formed by complex causal relationship of various contents such as geographical and environmental background, the phases of the times, local development policy, political circumstances and religions. This study is aimed at interpreting the value of Lake Biwa Canal multilaterally by the convergence of cultural and technological aspects through the view of the world which the age tried to pursue, focusing on the construction of Lake Biwa Canal which was accomplished in the process of promoting the modernization of Kyoto.

Structural heterogeneity results in different spatial distributions of microcrustaceans. Thus, in ecosystems with excessive macrophyte development, it may be difficult to determine the microcrustacean species composition. Given the importance of microcrustaceans in the food web, the elucidation of microcrustacean diversity is essential. In vegetated habitats, bluegill sunfish can prey on microcrustaceans, and therefore have a potential role as microcrustacean monitoring agents. In the present study, we compared microcrustacean species compositions in the field with those in the guts of bluegill, in Jangcheok Lake, South Korea. Our results showed that the number of microcrustacean species was higher in bluegill guts than in the field. Further, microcrustacean species, such as Daphnia galeata, Graptoleveris testudinaria, Leydigia leydigii, Rhynchotalona sp., and Simocephalus exponisus, were found only in bluegill guts. Our findings verify the validity of the fish gut analysis to monitor microcrustacean species compositions and to clarify spatial distributions of microcrustacean species in structurally heterogeneous ecosystems with excessive macrophyte development.

This paper is based on the 36 wild Japanese quails which migrated to and settled in the Weishan Lake area. The gene frequency of 10 loci encoding the enzymes in viscera and muscle was detected. After collecting the same data about 20 quail colonies in China and other countries, it clusters the 21 quail populations by fuzzy cluster analysis. The study indicates that the wild Japanese quail in the Weishan Lake area is closer to domestic quail for phylogenetic system than wild Japanese quails in Japanese Islands. The paper supports the thesis that the quail domestication area should be further studied.

The process of eutrophication was studied in the lake Changja from November in 1974 to May in 1975. The stratification of water temperature was going to be formed in April and the content of dissolved oxygen varied a little but it was almost zero from January. Total phosphorus was increased very rapidly in February but total nitrogen and carbohydrate-like substances were increased a little during the experimental period. The amount of chlorophyll-$\alpha$ varied from 127mg/$m^2$ to 717 mg/$m^2$ with maximum value occuring in January. This phenomenon was an evidence that chlorophyll-$m^2$ and total phosphorus were correlated each other. The numbers of colony of the coliform bacteria in point A was 10 times more than in point B. In conclcesions, the lake Changja is a very eutrophic and the ecological equilibrium of the lake can not be recovered as far as origin of pollution is erased out.

Environmental factors and phytoplankton community in Lake Doam were monthly investigated at 3 stations from April 2009 to November 2009. During the study period, the concentrated rainfalls occurred at between July and August and then the TP and turbidity were sharply increased in in-lake. A total of 91 phytoplankton species was classified and these were consisted of 38 Bacillariophyceae, 35 Chlorophyceae, 10 Cyanophyceae, and 8 other species. Bacillariophyceae and Chlorophyceae were dominated during the seasonal succession of phytoplankton community, especially summer season. Bacillariophyceae was dominated from spring season to summer season and Chlorophyceae was dominated at summer season and autumn season. However, the dominance of Cyanophyceae generally developed at summer season in eutrophic water was not observed. From the analysis of correlation coefficient between environmental factors and phytoplankton cell number, we confirmed that there was a negative correlation between turbidity and cyanobacteria cell number (P<0.01). This result indicated that turbid water acts as the inhibitor of the cyanobacteria growth than other phytoplankton community.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the change of phytoplankton fluctuation and long term of water quality of Lake Juam and to evaluate the relationship between phytoplankton pattern and environmental factors data. Correlation and factor analyses were employed to identify key environmental factors affecting phytoplankton dynamics. Of 18 parameters, pH, temperature, COD, BOD and T-P were highly correlated with Chl-a. Phytoplankton data showed that cyanobacteria were dominant, and more than 60% of total algae density. Also Lake Juam received a lot of influence of the Asian monsoon climate. This study presents necessity of multivariate statistic techniques for evaluation of Lake Juam complex data set with a view to get better information data and effective management of water source.

The influence of polluted water discharged from the Saemankeum Lake is predicted by using two-dimensional finite element model. The simulation results show that influence of the Polluted water to the northern part of the Kckunsan Islands is small during flood time. The reason is because lock gates are located in the south of the Kokunsan Islands so that tidal current directing north is blocked by these Islands. However, during the ebb time, the influence of the polluted water is extended to the whole southern part of the Kokunsan Islands. When the amount of ten percent of the total volume of polluted water is discharged from the Saemankeum Lake, equi-concentration contour line of one tenth of initial discharge concentration includes the inner area surrounded by Sinsi Island, Munyeo Island, Bian Island, and Daehang-Li. In general, peak concentration near the lock gates is found out to be higher during the spring tide than the neap tide.

Zooplankton feeding was investigated with epilluorescence microscope in Lake Soyang in August 1991. Zooplankton. which ingested fluorescence bead or fluorescently labeled bacteria (FLB). was regarded as bacterivore. The algavores wert. easily distinguished with autofluorescence of chlorophyll in gut. Copepoda nauplius and Copepodids. 7'hermocyclop.s spp, Pleosomcl spp. Brachionus spp were algavores. and DuphnB hpp. Bosmincr spp. Kerutrlla spp and Hrxuthru spp werc identified as bacterivc~res.T he mixo\ory was not detected. The percentages of algavores and bacterivores in Lake Hoyang were 65 7% and 34.3%. respectively. The bacterivorous zooplankton had trend to ingcst the beads bigger than 0.5 pm. Use of 0.5 pm bead as grazing tracer gave similar estin~ates of ingestion to FLR.
