It is very important to interprete and simulate the variation of phytoplankton maximum region for the prediction and control of red tide. This study was composed of two parts first the hydrodynamic simulation such as residual current and salinity diffusion and second the ecological simulation such as phytoplankton distribution according to freshwater discharge and pollutant loads. Without the Nakdong river discharge residual current was stagnated in inner side of this estuary and surface distribution of salinity was over 25psu. On the contrary with summer mean discharge freshwater stretched very far outward and some waters flowed into Chinhae Bay through the Kadok channel and low salinity extended over coastal sea and salinity front occurred. From the result of contributed physical process to phytioplankton biomass the accumulation was occurred at the west part of this estuary and the Kadok channel with the Nakdong river discharge. When more increased input discharge the accumulation band was transported to outer side of this estuary. The frequently outbreak of red tide in this area is caused by accumulation of physical processes. The phytoplankton maximum region located inner side of this estuary without the Nakdong river discharge and with mean discharge of winter but it was moved to outer side when mean discharge of the Nakdong river was increased. The variation of input concentration from the land loads was not largely influenced on phytoplankton biomass and location of maximum region. When discharge was increased phytoplankton maximum region was transferred to inner side of the Kadok channel. ON the other hand when discharge was decreased phytoplankton maximum region was transferred to inner side of this estuary and chlorophyll a contents increased to over 20$\mu\textrm{g}$/L Therefore if any other conditions are favorable for growth of phytoplankton. decreas of discharge causes to increase of possibility of red tide outbreak.

Conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) data obtained along a meridional section in the eastern tropical Pacific in July 2003 have been analyzed to identify various water masses, and to examine the hydrographic structure and zonal geostrophic currents in the upper 1000 m. Water mass analysis shows the existence of subtropical and intermediate waters, characterized by layers of subsurface salinity maximum and minimum, originating from both hemispheres of the Pacific. Vertical section of temperature in the upper 200 m shows the typical trough-ridge structure associated with the zonal current system for most of the tropical Pacific. Water with the lowest salinity of less than 33.6 was found in the upper 30 m between $8.5^{\circ}N$ and $10.5^{\circ}N$ in a boundary zone between the North Equatorial Current and North Equatorial Countercurrent. Temporal changes in water properties observed at $10.5^{\circ}N$ over a period of 9 days suggest both the local rainfall and horizontal advection is responsible for the presence of the low-salinity water. Development of a barrier layer was also observed at $10.5^{\circ}N$. In the North Equatorial Current region a local upwelling was observed at $15^{\circ}N$, which brings high salinity and cooler subtropical water to the sea surface. A band of countercurrent occurs in the upwelling region between $13^{\circ}N$ and $15^{\circ}N$.

In order to study changes in the marine ecosystem of the East China Sea derived by the global warming and construction of the Three Gorges Dam in the middle of the Changjiang, temperature, salinity, nutrients, and chlorophyll-a were studied intensively in the northern part of the East China Sea during the summer of 2003 and spring of 2004. According to the previous studies, the upwelling of the Kuroshio Current and the Changjiang resulted in a major inputs of nutrients in the East China Sea, but these two inputs may not contribute gently to a build up of nutrients in the northern East China Sea. In spring, relatively high concentrations of nitrates and phosphates were observed in the western part of the study area, which resulted from the supply of high concentrations of nutrients showing up in the surface waters as a result of vertical mixing from the ocean bottom. The concentrations of nitrates and phosphates observed in summer were lower than those in spring, since the surface waters were well stratified by the larger discharge of fresh water from the Changjiang in summer. The surface nitrate/phosphate ratios ranged from 1.3 to 16 in spring and from 1.1 to 15 in summer and were lower than the Redfield ratio of 16, indicating that the growth of phytoplankton is limited by nitrogen. This results are contrary to the previous results, in which the growth of phytoplankton was limited by phosphate in the East China Sea. The reason for this contrary result is that most nutrients in the surface waters are supplied by vertical mixing from the bottom waters with low nitrate/phosphate ratios, not directly influenced by the Changjiang with high nitrate/phosphate ratios. The depth-integrated chlorophyll observed in summer was similar to the previous results, but those measured in spring were almost twice as high as those found in previous results. The depth-integrated chlorophyll in spring was higher than that of summer, which results from high concentrations of nitrates and phosphates in the surface waters in spring due to active vertical mixing.

해수중 용존 Cu와 Ni의 생지화학적인 행동을 이해하기 위하여 1995년 10월 동해중앙 해역을 남북으로 횡단하여 남부와 북부의 두 정점에서 수심 400 m까지 수직적 분포를 조사하였다. 이 연구는 우리나라에서 금속들의 수직적 농도 분포에 대한 최초의 보고이다. 남부에서 용존 Cu의 농도 범위는 2.2~5.8 nmol/kg이고 북부에서는 1.6~2.4 nmol/kg으로 조사되었다. 특히, 남부 표층수의 5.8 nmol/kg는 북부의 1.7 nmol/kg보다 2배 이상 높았다. 그 결과로 남부에서 Cu의 분포 형태는 표층에서 농도가 높고 수심 30m이하에서 급격히 감소하는 스카벤징 형태였다. 그렇지만 북부는 수심에 따른 특정적인 분포 경향성이 없었다. Ni의 경우, 남부에서는 4.3~7.1 nmol/kg의 분포를 보이면서 인산염과 뚜렷한 양의 상관 관계를 보인 반면, 북부에서는 남부보다 낮은 3.4~5.4 nmol/kg들 함유하고 영양염과는 상관 관계가 낮았다. 이는 동시에 조사한 CTD, 용존산소 및 영양염 자료에서 남부정점은 저염분이 출현한 표층에서 심층까지 6개 정도의 복잡한 수괴가 수직적으로 분포하는 반면, 북부 정점은 매우 얕은 수온약층을 제외하고는 수심 300m 이심까지 비교적 균일한 해수로 구성되었기 때문으로 해석되었다. 남부 표층수의 저염분 분포(31.87~31.96 psu)는 육지에서 기인한 담수의 영향이 강하게 남은 것으로서, 여름철에 배출된 양자강수가 비교적 그 특성을 유지한 채 중국 연안과 대한해협을 통하여 대마난류에 편승하여 plume의 형태로 조사시기인 10월에 본 조사 정점인 동해의 남부 지역까지 이동된 결과인 것으로 유추되었다. Cu와 Ni의 농도는 북태평양이나 다른 서기에 조사한 동해 표층의 농도 범위와 잘 일치하고 있으며 Ni의 대부분은 용존상태로 존재함이 밝혀졌다.

A 450 m-long sediment section was recovered from Hole U1359D located at the eastern levee of the Jussieau submarine channel on the Wilkes Land continental rise (East Antarctica) during IODP Expedition 318. The age model for Hole U1359D was established by paleomagnetic stratigraphy and biostratigraphy, and the ages of core-top and core-bottom were estimated to be about 5 Ma and 13 Ma, respectively. Biogenic opal content during this period varied between 3% and 60%. In the Southern Ocean, high biogenic opal content generally represents warm climate characterized by the increased light availability due to the decrease of sea-ice distribution. The surface water productivity change in terms of biogenic opal content at about 10.2 Ma in the Wilkes Land continental rise was related to the development of Northern Component Water. After about 10.2 Ma, more production of Northern Component Water in the North Atlantic caused to increase heat transport to the Southern Ocean, resulting in the enhanced diatom production. Miocene isotope events (Mi4~Mi7), which are intermittent cooling intervals during the Miocene, appeared to be correlated to the low biogenic opal contents, but further refinement was required for precise correlation. Biogenic opal content decreased abruptly during 6 Ma to 5.5 Ma, which most likely corresponds to the Messinian salinity crisis. Short-term variation of biogenic opal content was related to the extent of sea-ice distribution associated with the location of Antarctic Polar Front that was controlled by glacial-interglacial paleoclimate change, although more precise dating and correlation will be necessary. Diatom production in the Wilkes Land continental rise increased during the interglacial periods because of the reduced sea-ice distribution and the southward movement of Antarctic Polar Front.

Seasonal variations of various physicochemical components (temperature, salinity, pH, DO, COD, DOC, nutrients-silicate, DIN, DIP) and potential limiting factor for phytoplankton primary production were studied in the surface water of semi-enclosed Masan Bay. Seasonal variations of nutrient concentrations, with lower values in summer and winter, and higher in fall, are probably controlled by freshwater loadings to the bay, benthic flux and magnitude of occurrence of phytoplankton communities. Their spatial distributional patterns are primarily dependent on physical mixing process between freshwater and coastal seawater, which result in a decreasing spatial gradient from inner to outer part of the bay. In the fall season of strong wave action, the major part of nutrient inputs (silicate, ammonium, dissolved inorganic phosphorus) comes from regeneration (benthic flux) at sediment-water interface. During the summer period, high Si:DIN and Si:DIP and low DIN:DIP relative to Redfield ratios suggest a N- and secondarily P-deficiency. During other seasons, however, silicate is the potential limiting factor for primary production, although the Si-deficiency is less pronounced in the outer region of the bay. Indeed, phytoplankton communities in Masan Bay are largely affected by the seasonal variability of limiting nutrients. On the other hand, the severe depletion of DIN (relatively higher silicate level) during summer with high freshwater discharge probably can be explained by N-uptake of temporary nanoflagellate blooms, which responds rapidly to pulsed nutrient loading events. In Masan Bay, this rapid nutrient consumption is considerably important as it can modify the phytoplankton community structures.

가을 한국 남해 서부 해역의 수괴분석 및 식물플랑크톤 군집의 공간분포 특성을 이해하기 위해 2021년 9월 15개 정점의 표층과 엽록소 a 최댓층(CML)을 대상으로 조사하였다. 결과, 수괴는 고온, 저염의 연안수(CW), 고온, 고염의 쓰시마난류(TWC) 및 이 두 수괴의 혼합특성을 보이는 혼합수(MW)로 구분되었다. 용존산소 포화도는 표층에서는 95% 이상을 보이지만, CML 일부 해역은 낮은 불포화 상태를 보였고, 탁도는 표층과 저층 모두에서 농도가 높았다. 엽록소 a 농도는 표층이 0.90±0.43 ㎍ L^-1 변동 폭으로 연안수에서 1.1 ㎍ L^-1 이상, 혼합수에서 1.0 ㎍ L^-1 전후, 그리고 쓰시마난류에서 0.5 ㎍ L^-1 이하를 나타내었다. CML은 1.64±0.54 ㎍ L^-1 변동 폭으로 표층보다 약 2배 높았다. 식물플랑크톤 종 조성은 31속 57종으로 규조류가 57.8%, 와편모조류가 35.1%, 규질편모조류 5.3%, 그리고 은편모조류가 1.8%로 단조로웠다. 현존량은 표층이 4.6±7.6 cells mL^-1 변동 폭으로 연안에서 30 cells mL^-1 이상, 혼합수에서 2~5 cells mL^-1, 그리고 쓰시마난류에서 2 cells mL^-1 이하를 나타내었다. CML은 5.7±8.4 cells mL^-1 변동 폭으로 표층보다 다소 높았다. 5% 이상 우점율을 보이는 우점종은 표층에서 Rhizosolenia flagilissima f. flagilissima, Skeletonema costatum-ls, Nitzschia sp./small size가 각 8.4%, 6.1%, 5.2% 순이었고, CML은 Rh. flagilisima f. flagilissima가 12.0%의 우점율을 나타내었으나, 낮은 현존량으로 우점종에 대한 의미 부여가 어려웠다. 다양도 지수는 표층이 2.36±0.40 변동 폭으로 쓰시마난류에서 높고, 혼합수에서 낮았고, CML은 2.29±0.52 변동 폭으로 표층보다 다소 낮았다. 우점도 지수는 표층이 0.50±0.15 변동 폭으로 혼합수에서 0.5 이상, 쓰시마난류에서 0.5 이하로 다양도와 다른 특성을 보였다. 상관분석 및 주성분 분석 결과는 식물플랑크톤 현존량은 연안수 및 혼합수에서 높고, 높은 탁도를 보인 일부 혼합수 및 쓰시마난류에서 낮은 것에서, 각수괴의 확장 및 혼합 정도에 따라 식물플랑크톤 군집의 출현 및 분포에 커다란 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단되었다.

The aim of this study was to compare community structure of larval fish species in the northern East China Sea during normal meteorological conditions in autumn 2009, during the El Ni$\tilde{n}$o period in 2009-2010, and during the La Nina period in 2010. Fifty taxa were recorded during the study period; the most dominant species were Benthosema pterotum and Gobiidae spp. In October 2008 during the normal period, warm water from the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) intruded more into the surface and middle layers, and cold water affected by the Yellow Sea Cold Water (YSCW) intruded into the bottom layer. In October 2009 during the El Ni$\tilde{n}$o period, intrusion of the China Coastal Water (CCW), which has low salinity (<32.2 psu), was more apparent than intrusion of the TWC or YSCW. In October 2010 during the La Nina period, intrusion of the TWC and CCW was relatively weak, resulting in the lowest temperature and highest salinity observed during the study period in the eastern part of the study area. Hierarchical cluster, one-way ANOSIM (analysis of similarities), and SIMPER (similarity-percentages procedure) analyses provided two main results. First, the abundance of the most dominant larval fish species in autumn of the normal period was greater than that in autumn of the El Ni$\tilde{n}$o/La Nina periods, resulting in a significant difference in ichthyoplankton community structure between the periods. The abundance of Benthosema pterotum increased in the normal period, possibly influenced by the intrusion of cold water from the YSCW; the abundance of species residing in Korean waters (e.g., Gobiidae spp.) probably decreased during the El Ni$\tilde{n}$o/La Nina periods. The second finding was that the abundance of subtropical larval fish in autumn of the normal period was generally larger than that during autumn of the El Ni$\tilde{n}$o/La Nina periods. This could have been induced by the stronger intrusion of warm water from the TWC during the normal period. Although differences in oceanographic conditions between El Ni$\tilde{n}$o and La Nina periods were observed, the differences in ichthyoplankton community structure between the two periods were not significant.
