This study was analyzed and assessed the environmental factors on small marine ranching sites around Gunsan Coast, West Sea of Korea. Standards of assessment are followed in the reports on the choice of marine ranching sites and regulation factors of proper site on marine artificial reefs of MOMAF. Max. current speed around Gunsan were ranged between 25.52 ~ 57.49cm/sec. These values were satisfied by comparing assessment factor such as current speed.. Factors of temperature, salinity, transparency and pH were evaluated as the proper extent. DO was not distributed as the proper extent due to different criterion. between the same assessment factor. COD, SS and nutrients were partly suited to the criteria. Especially, SS was almost higher than that of criterion. So, we are proposed to be reflected in environment characteristics of West Coast such as SS. Moreover, the extent of pollution load factors have to be specified clearly in the regulations of assessment criteria.

The distribution of seaweed was examined in Jeonnam archipelago marine ranching area, the coastal of geumo-do, Yosu. Abundance and distribution of seaweed in dropping site of artificial reef were sampled at 6 station at October 2007. Seaweed community were investigated with quadrat method at line-transect by scientific SCUBA divers. as a result, 30 species in total, 4 green, 9 brown and 15 red seaweed were identified. Range of seaweed biomass in all sampling stations were about 1,600~4,000 g/m². At intertidal zone, appearance of individuals and dominance rate were showed higher than below the subtidal line and at depth from 4m to 6m, individuals, dominance rate and biomass were represented low level. characteristic of water in marine ranching area is turbidity and also compensation depth is low. For that reason, individuals of seaweed community were smaller from depth of 4 meters. Therefore, when equip the artificial reef for preparation of seaweed beds need consider that equipment periods(early spring; before releasing marine seaweed spore) and suitable water depth(3~6m).
