Seasonal succession of zooplankton community and species composition was studied from 2003 to 2014 in a deep reservoir, Lake Soyang, in monsoon climate region, Korea. Annual precipitation was concentrated more than 70% between June and September and it showed remarkably that seasonal variation in water quality. Seasonal variation of water quality in Lake Soyang appeared to be more significant than annual variations, and the inflow of turbid water during the summer rainfall was the most important environmental factor. Zooplankton sepecies composition in Lake Soyang showed obvious tendency through two periods (May to June and August to October) every year. Small zooplankton (rotifer; Keratella cochlearis, Polyarthra vulgaris) dominated in spring and mesozooplankton such as copepods and crustaceans were dominant in summer and fall. Zooplankton biomass showed the maximum in September after monsoon rainfall, and chlorophyll showed a similar seasonal variation and it showed a high correlation (r=0.45). The increase of zooplankton biomass is considered to be a bottom-up effect due to the increase of primary producers and inflow of nutrients and organic matter from rainfall. In this study, we found that the variation of zooplankton community was affected by rainfall in monsoon climate region and inflow of turbid water was an important environmental factor, which influenced the water quality, zooplankton seasonal succession in Lake Soyang. It was also considered to be influenced by hydrological characteristics of lake and environment of watershed. In conclusion, seasonal succession of zooplankton species composition was the same as the PEG model. But seasonal succession of zooplankton biomass differed not only in the temperate lake but also in the monsoon region.

In this study, samples were collected from Lake Soyang in Kangwon-do in order to isolate novel Flavobacterium sp. strains. Totally, 21 strains of Flavobacterium showing 97%~98% similarity in 16S rRNA were selected and thoroughly investigated individual characteristics and ecological differences. As results, we could categorize Flavobacterium isolated from Lake Soyang into four major node groups, where most of Flavobacterium belonged to single group. Next, fatty acid analyses were performed demonstrating similar pattern of the majority of fatty acids as either iso $C_{15:0}$ or summed feature 3 (comprised $C_{16:1}$ ${\omega}7c$ and/or $C_{16:1}$ ${\omega}6c$) of the other Flavobacterium. However, other phenotypic data were different from the other Flavobacterium sp. Group. Our data showed that genetically related species of Flavobacterium have been distributed in Lake Soyang. Those Flavobacterium strains were phenotypically different from previously reported genus of Flavobacterium species. Taken together, we speculated that isolated Flavobacterium strains from Lake Soyang might be ecologically important members to maintain ecosystem.

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.

When it is raining or snowing, floating debris flows into a lake and raises its turbidity. High level of turbidity in the lake often causes eutrophication, which pollutes the water. In order to collect and present some essential information for effective management plan for water quality, we carried out our research at the watershed of Mandae-cheon located at the upstream of Soyang Lake. We examined water quality at the time of rainfall or snowfall to analyze the changes in the amount of suspend soils(SS) in the lake.

Drought is an environmental disaster typically defined as an unusual deficiency of water supply over an extended period. Satellite remote sensing provides an alternative approach to monitoring drought over large areas. In this study, we monitored drought patterns over about 30 years (1985-2015), using satellite imagery of Lake Soyang, Gangwondo, South Korea. Landsat images were classified using ISODATA, maximum likelihood analysis, and an artificial neural network to derive the lake area. In addition, the relationship between areas of Lake Soyang and the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) was analyzed. The results showed that the artificial neural network was a better method for determining the area of the lake. Based on the relationship between the SPI value and changes in area, the R² value was 0.52. This means that the area of the lake varied depending on SPI value. This study was able to detect and monitor drought conditions in the Lake Soyang area. The results of this study are used in the development of a regional drought monitoring program.

We have analyzed surface water temperature and seasonal stratification of lakes in the Han river system using time-series Landsat images and in situ measurement data. Using NASA equation, at-satellite temperature is derived from 29 Landsat-5 TM and Landsat-7 ETM+ images obtained from 1994 to 2004, and was compared with in situ surface temperature on river-type dam lakes such as Paro, Chuncheon, Euiam, Chongpyong, Paldang, and with 10m-depth temperature on lake-type dam lake Soyang. Although the in situ temperature at the time of satellite data acquisition was interpolated from monthly measurements, the number of images with standard deviation of temperature difference (at-satellite temperature - in situ interpolated temperature) less than $2^{\circ}C$ was 24 on which a novel statistical atmospheric correction could be applied. The correlation coefficient at Lake Soyang was 0.915 (0.950 after correction) and 0.951-0.980 (0.979-0.997 after correction) at other lakes. This high correlation implies that there exist a mixed layer in the shallow river-like dam lakes due to physical mixing from continuous influx and efflux, and the daily and hourly temperature change is not fluctuating. At Lake Soyang, an anomalous temperature difference was observed from April to July where at-satellite temperature is $3-5^{\circ}C$ higher than in situ interpolated temperature. Located in the uppermost part of the Han river system and its influx is governed only by natural precipitation, Lake Soyang develops stratification during this time with rising sun elevation and no physical mixture from influx in this relatively dry season of the year.

This sludy was conducted to investigate the change of bacterial co~munities with season and depth in Lake Soyang. Korea, using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The oligonucleotide probes used in this study were EUB338, ALF I b. GAM42a, and CF, The percentage of h e Proleobacteria a $\alpha$-group ranged from 0.70 to 33% the $\beta$-group from 1.0 to 26% they -group from 2.4 Lo 37% and Cytophagn and Flavobactefin groups from 4.7 to 24% duing the study period (April Lo November, 1998). They $\gamma$-group was dominant in spring when Asterionella was dominant. and a $\alpha$-group was dominant in summer when the organic content was low and Dinobryon was dominant. However, a specific group was not dominant in ？dl when cyanobacteria group was dominant and the ratio of eubacleria to total bacteria was very low. Therefore, the bacterial communities in Lake Soyang changed with season and depth, which seems to be associated with the telnporal succession of phytoplanlaons.

The presence of pathogens in wild fish is a potential threat to the fish being raised nearby fish farm. Surveillance of these pathogens in the wild is, thus, highly important to keep fish in the farm safe from serious communicable diseases. Fish and crustacean were sampled 4 times at Soyang Lake in 2016. Pathogens for five reportable communicable diseases including KHVD (koi herpesvirus disease), SVC (spring viraemia of carp), EUS (epizootic ulcerative syndrome) and WSD (white spot disease), and parasites were investigated. In Soyang Lake, pale chub Zacco platypus was the most abundant. Forty seven pale chub, 8 Korea piscivorous chub Opsarichthys uncirostris, 3 oily shiner Sarcocheilichthys variegatus wakiyae and 2 crucian carp Cyprinus carassius were investigated for detection of target diseases of fish. Seventeen Caridina denticulata denticulata, 12 Oriental river prawn Macrobrachium nipponense and 1 Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis were used for detection of WSD. As the result, reportable communicable diseases were not detected in all the freshwater animals. Dactylogyrus was detected in Korea piscivorous chub. Copepoda was also detected in pale chub and Korea piscivorous chub. Metacercaria was detected in the pale chub sampled in September and October. Those were not metacercaria of liver fluke Clonorchis sinensis.

The feeding habits of the Siniperca scherzeri were studied using 332 specimens collected by trammel net in the Soyang Lake of Han River, from April to November 2014. Of 332 specimens, 197 contained food and 135 were empty. The standard length of individuals used in this study ranged from 107 to 321 mm. Mandarin fish mainly consumed fishes and shrimps. The main food items of fishes and shrimps were Hypomesus nipponensis and Macrobrachium nipponense. The proportion of fishes in prey items increased with increasing mandarin fish length, however shrimps decreased with growth. The seasonal difference were apparent, fishes were taken mainly all the seasons except June, July and October. There were higher rates of fishes for food items in downstream areas than in the upper and middle areas of the Soyang Lake.
