본 연구는 퇴적물의 인 용출을 제어하기 위한 방법으로 모래를 이용한 캡핑을 포설할 경우 두께에 따른 인 용출율 저감 효과를 파악하기 위하여 수행되었다. 캡핑은 퇴적물의 인이 수체로 용출되는 속도를 저감시키며, 미생물의 기질소모 이하로 그 속도를 낮추면 수체내의 인의 농도를 일정하게 유지할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 모래캡핑의 두께와 용출저감은 선형의 상관관계를 보이며 캡핑 두께가 40 mm에서 80 mm로 두꺼울수록 탈산소계수가 0.311 $day^{-1}$에서 0.262 $day^{-1}$으로 작아지고 있으며, 두께가 증가함에 따라 재폭기 계수는 0.013 $day^{-1}$에서 0.0240 $day^{-1}$으로 커지는 것으로 나타났다. 회귀분석한 결과에 의하면 최소한 20${\sim}$40 mm의 모래캡핑을 실시하더라도 인 용출량을 효율적으로 저감 시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Most South Korean lakes are middle/small size artificial reservoirs, which are almost agricultural reservoirs (17,956). A total of 67 species (21 families) were recorded and collected from 65 agricultural reservoirs though field samplings and literature surveys. Dominant species was Pseudorasbora parva (relative abundance 24.5%), and Carassius auratur (41 sites) was the highest frequency. Feeding group of fish communities in the reservoirs was as follows: carnivorous (16.2%), omnivorous (79.5%) and herbivorous fish (4.3%). The number of individuals (P=0.024), species number (P=0.047) and carnivores number (P=0.024) were significantly correlated with reservoir ages. Reservoirs were classified into 3 groups according to feeding patterns of carnivore, omnivore and herbivore groups. The omnivores were dominant group in agricultural reservoirs. Detailed studies on fish community will be a base for the understanding of food web structure and biomanipulation in reservoir systems.

종다양성 규명을 위한 계통분류학적 연구는 원시형질의 상동성에 근거한 기존의 형태형질과 효율적인 새로운 분자계통분류학적 연구방법이 병행된다면 좀 더 정확한 분류 및 계통을 추적하는데 객관적인 결론을 제시 할수 있을 것이다. 현재 활발히 연구되고 있는 미토콘드리아 DNA를 이용한 분자계통분류를 재검토할 뿐아니라 계통진화학상 조상과 자손과의 관계를 유추하는데 새로운 가설을 세울 수 있는 토대를 제공하는 기초자료로서 이용될 수 있다.

수십년 전부터 민물의 부영양화는 수질 관리에 문제를 제기해왔다. 전세계적으로 생물학적 조절론이 아닌 영양염류 저감론에 의한 부영양화 해결 방안이 대세를 이루고 있다. 생물학적 조절법은 호소 생태계에서 최상위 먹이망에 위치한 물고기 생태와 생체량의 중요성에 착안한 수질 향상 이론으로 부영양화 해결을 위한 강력한 도구로 받아들여지고 있다. 그러나 실제적으로 수질 향상을 위한 긍정적 효과를 얻으려면 해당 각 수역 전체의 먹이망에 관한 정확한 이해가 필요하다. 생물학적 조절법으로 얻은 수질 향상 효과를 장기간에 걸쳐서 누리려면 어떻게 해야 최적인가가 현재 제기되는 논의의 중심이다.

울릉도 수계의 부착규조군집의 계절적 변이와 DAIpo에 의한 수질평가를 조사하였다. 채집은 2003년 4월, 5월, 7월, 8월, 10월과 11월 그리고 2004년 1월과 2월에 4개의 정점에서 채집하였다. 총 95분류군이 동정되었으며 우점종들은 Nitzschia inconspicua, Achnanthes minutissima, Gomphonema angustum과 Cocconeis placentula var. lineata였다. DAIpo는 51.15에서 77.77의 범위였고 울릉도 수계의 수질은 ${\alpha}$-빈부수성에서 ${\beta}$-빈부수성이었다.

본 연구는 하수처리장에서 최종 방류되는 하수처리수의 거품발생 원인분석과 저감방안을 제시하고자 수행되었다. 감조하천의 방류구에서 거품이 발생하는 것은 구조적인 문제점으로 파악되었다. 거품은 낙차에 의한 공기 연행과 확산방지막에 의한 내부축적이 주요한 원인이었다. 이러한 여건을 고려하여, 방류수로와 방류구 종단에서 미세스크린과 수중방류를 통해 거품발생을 완화시킬 수 있는 효과적인 방안을 제시하였다.

The objectives of this study were to analyze fish compositions, based on trophic guilds and tolerance guilds and determine community characteristics structure at five sampling sites of Yeongsan Lake during July 2006-May 2007. Total number of species sampled was 30 species and the number was 1350. Cyprinidae (77%) and Centrarchidae (15.7%) dominated the community and then followed by Cobitidae(2.7%), Gobiidae(2.4%), Mugilidae (0.5%), and others (0.1%). The relative abundance of tolerant and omnivore species at all sites was 63% and 77% of the total, respectively, suggesting an ecological degradations in the Lake. Exotics species such as large mouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), which is a top-carnivore in the water distributed at all sampling sites, implying that ecological disturbance was severe based on previous reference of US EPA (1991). Also, we found external anomalies such as external deformities, bleeding and tumors and not found migratory fish. Analysis of fish community structure showed that species diversity index and richness index was the highest in Site 1 and the dominance index was the highest in Site 2. In this study, high proportions of tolerant species and omnivore species, widespread exotic species, and frequent observations of abnormal fish. Such problems may be directly or indirectly associated with high nutrient enrichments and the reduced flow velocity by the dam construction. The ecosystem restoration by dam removal or removal of exotic top-carnivore fish may be one of the best strategies for better lak management.

The heavy metal removal capacity of filamentous green alga Cladophora sp. cultured together with wet-mixed solidified soil (loess) was tested. A Cladophora sp. was cultured for 5d, with added Chu No. 10 medium, in stream water contaminated by high concentration of heavy metals from a closed mine effluent. Heavy metal ion concentrations of the medium and in algal tissue were measured every day during the experiment. Dissolved metals (Al, Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn) in medium were rapidly removed (over 90% elimination) within 1-2d when alga and loess were added. Dissolved heavy metals dropped by only 10% when algae were cultured without loess. The Cladophora sp. accumulated much more heavy metals when cultured with loess than when the alga was cultured alone. Cladophora sp. exhibited a maximum uptake capacity for Al ($17,000{\mu}g^{-1}$ algal dry weight). The metal bioremoval capacities of the algae were in the order Al, Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn and Cd. The heavy metal removal capacity of Cladophora sp. showed significant increases when wet-mixed solidified soil was added to culture media.

Transcriptional modulation of metallothionein (MT) during acute metal exposures (cadmium, copper or zinc) was examined in fry of Hemibarbus mylodon, a threatened fish species in Korean peninsula. Viability of H. mylodon fry was most affected by copper exposure (up to 79% of mortality at 1 ppm for 48 hours) and considerably by cadmium exposure (21 to 54% of mortality). On the other hand, Zn showed the least adverse effect on the viability (0 to 13% of mortality) of this species. Based on the semi-quantitative RT-PCR analysis, the stimulation of MT mRNA in response to metal exposures followed generally in a dose-dependent fashion where cadmium was the most potent inducer for the induction of MT transcripts in fry (up to more than 5-fold) while the lowest response was observed in zinc-exposed group (2-fold at maximum). From the exposure using environmentally realistic doses of cadmium (0 to 0.05 ppm for 24 hours), MT expression at mRNA level was also sensitively modulated toward upregulation up to more than 3-fold as relative to non-exposed control. Results from the present study would be a good basis for understanding the adaptive capacity and stress physiology of this endangered fish species during metal pollution.

The vertical distributions of sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) in sediments of lakes in Korea (Lake Sihwa and Lake Soyang) and China (Lake Aha and Lake Erhai) were investigated by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). SRB from sediment of Lakes of China were located to deeper layer than those in Lakes of Korea. SRB were not detected below 19 cm and 10 cm depth in sediments of Lake Sihwa and Lake Soyang, respectively. SRB numbers were, however, detected at all observed sediments in Lake Aha and Lake Erhai. In case of lakes in Korea, the proportion of SRB ranged from 2.9 to 25.6% (Lake Sihwa) and ranged from 0.6 to 7.1% (Lake Soyang). For lakes in China, the proportions of SRB were from 0.6 to 19.4% and from 2.9 to 11.2% within sediments from Lake Aha and from Lake Erhai, respectively. The high peaks of SRB numbers in sediments of all lakes were appearing at depths between 0 cm and 2 cm.
