The influence of atmospheric aerosol on satellite ocean color data were evaluated using SeaWiFS monthly standard mapped image products. The atmospheric optical thickness (AOT) was increased in spring and summer, and it showed the strong positive correlation with remote sensing reflectance, normalized waterleaving radiance /solar irradiance, at 555 nm (Rrs555) which is a component of the satellite chlorophyll estimation. Such the high AOT and high Rrs555 pixels showed overestimation of satellite chlorophyll in spring, especially in the area which showed large phytoplankton absorption which 1s expressed by low remote sensing reflectance at 443, 490 and 510 nm (Rrs 443, Rrs490 and Rrs510).

Ecological methods were reviewed through reports such as environmental impact assessment and damage effect of fishery in the Korean watershed. Survey items in marine ecological field were included: phytoplankton, zooplankton, benthic animal, algae, adult fish, egg and juvenile of fish. A standardization of survey method in the field of community ecology was suggested to consider the convenience, Sequency in Use of device, accuracy of data collected from that. It is necessary that spatial data should be sufficiently acquired toy statistical analysis of biodiversity and spatial comparison. Quantitative sampling method must be inevitably adopted based nature of biota and geographical type of the survey area. The same sampling method can make the data compared spatially but can't be applicable in all area. Standardizing survey method should be by no means under certain restriction of study and would become different according to survey environments. The first thing is minutely understanding about ecological character of biota inhabiting in certain area, and then determining survey method.

Participating in a multi-disciplinary oceanography program in July 1997 in the vicinity of Tokdo, we studied the distributions of bacterial abundance and production along with those of phytoplankton and heterotrophic nanoflagellates. In the euphotic zone, chlorophyll a (chl a) concentrations ranged from 0.14 to 0.52 ${\mu}$g 1$^{-1}$. Bacterial abundance in the euphotic zone (0.12-0.21 ${\times}$ 10$^9$ cells 1$^{-1}$) in the study area was quite lower than that expected from the observed chi a concentration in the marine environment. The low bacterial abundance seemed to be due to active grazing pressure on bacteria. The fraction of primary production utilized by bacteria was also low(8-12%). Interestingly, surface water temperatures were love. at stations near islands compared to an offshore station located between Ulleungdo and Tokdo and the highest values of bacterial production and chi a were found at stations near islands, strongly indicating island mass effects.

The morphometry and distribution of the unarmoured dinoflagellates Brachidinium capitatum F.J.R. Taylor, Asterodinium gracile Sournia, Microceratium orstomii Sournia and the toxic species Karenia papilionacea Haywood et Steidinger have been investigated in open waters of the SE Pacific Ocean. The genus Microceratium Sournia is recorded for the first time since the initial description. These taxa showed a high morphological similarity and they may correspond to life stages of a highly versatile single species that is able to project body extensions. Karenia papilionacea showed the higher abundance in the surface waters of the more productive areas (the Marquesas Archipelago and the Perú-Chile Current). Brachidinium capitatum and K. papilionacea often co-occurred, predominating B. capitatum in offshore surface waters. Asterodinium gracile was recorded at the bottom of the euphotic zone (down to 210 m depth), with a shallower distribution in more productive areas. Intermediate specimens of Asterodinium-Brachidinium-Karenia, with variable disposition and size of the body extensions were illustrated.

This study is focused on a climate data integrity to improve water quality assessment due to the social development projects. The study is in an attempt to calculate both extreme ranges of weather data measurements and partly provide means to assess qualification of data which fall within the extremes at the 23 meteorological weather stations. Generally speaking, maximum temperature, minimum temperature, relative humidity, dew point temperature are in the range of reasonable accuracy. However, there found some outliers of the brightness sunshine hours in Cheonan station. Also some years in Gwangju, Seoul, Wonju, Busan, and Jeju never reach to their upper limit and perhaps the calibration of the equipment is doubtful. The users need to take cautions in using the brightness sunshine hour data in preparation of water resources planning and management by estimating evapotranspiration and river discharge, and/or growth rate of the algae (phytoplankton).

Water quality of the Koejong-reservoir was estimated by using the ecological model to evaluate the effects of industrial sewage discharge. State variables consist of POC, DOC, phytoplankton, DIP, DIN, DO and COD. Initial conditions for the compartment are applied to the model based on the observed results. The reproducibility was found to be satisfactory with the relative error ranging between the calculated value and the observed value. Water quality simulation was conducted by applying additional industrial sewage discharge into the Koejong-reservoir. The concentrations of COD, Chl.a, DIP and COD showed fluctuations of a narrow range. The increment percentages of Chl.a, COD and DIP were 26.6%, 20.2% and 18.2%, respectively. In the case of DO, the concentration decreased 4.8%.

Emiliania huxleyi is a marine phytoplankton that plays a critical role in global carbon and sulfur cycling. The genome of E. huxleyi has been sequenced, and an in-depth proteomic profile of this organism has been reported. This study analyzed the phosphoproteome of E. huxleyi and identified its changes under calcium-limited conditions. A TiO₂ microcolumn was used for phosphopeptide enrichment, followed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis. Overall, we identified 7,010 phosphorylated sites on 3,355 phosphopeptides associated with 2,929 phosphoproteins in E. huxleyi. Quantitative analysis revealed changes in the phosphoproteome in E. huxleyi when ambient conditions changed to calcium-limited conditions, notably the phosphorylation of some transporters was altered. This study provides an overview of protein phosphorylation in E. huxleyi and paves the way for further investigations of its biological functions.

To study on feeding behavior of copepods, Calanus sinicus and Acartia clausi(A. omorii), variations of filtering rate and rate of food intake with the changes of phytoplankton concentrations and time progress were measured in laboratory. Filtering rates of the two species of copepod declined with increasing of the food concentration and the averaging filtering rates C. sinicus and A. clausi were 2.42m/ copepod/hr., 3.37 ml/copepod/hr. respectively. And the rates of food intake increased with food concnetration up to a critical concentration. At higher concentrations, the rates of food intake were somewhat variable but kept the constance levels. Filtering rates of copepods with time progress didn't show diel feeding rythms and generally decreased. But filtering rate of A. Clausi increased by the increment of feeding in a few hours. consequently, two copepods showed similar tendency in the rate of food intake and filtering rate with phytoplankton concentrations. However, the measured values appeared differently. And the two species of copepod with time progress showed the non-continuous feeding behavior.

The formation and structure of the shelf front in the eastern part of the Yellow Sea are studied on the basis of oceanographic data collected in August, 1982 and February, 1983. This paper also describes the distribution of planktonic organisms of the shelf front. In summer the shelf front is formed in the area ($126^{\circ}02^'E-126^{\circ}05^'E$) ca. 20 miles from the shore at the depths of 15-25 m. in winter, however, no distinct shelf front is formed. Based on the cluster analysis of surface phytoplankton the species composition shaws a discontinuous pattern in the vicinity of the shelf front in summer, 1982. A similar trend is observed in distribution of some copepod species in winter, l983.

Temporal and spatial variability of phytoplankton pigment concentrations around the Korea Peninsula was described, using the monthly mean composite images of the SeaWiFS (Sea-Viewing Wide Field-of-View Sensor). The high pigment concentrations appear in the spring and fall in the East Sea The spring bloom in the southern regions (in April) occurs one month in advance in comparison with tint in the northern regions (in May). In summer season, the pigment concentrations are low all over the region in the East Sea And the high pigment concentrations exist yearly around warm stream along the coast of the East Sea, and in the coast of the West Sea and South Sea In particular, the high pigment concentrations linking near the mouth q the Yangze River to coast of South Sea in Korea appear during August to December.
