We study on the dynamic interaction with a simulated physical-biological coupled model response to nutrient reduction scenario in Jinhae Bay. According to the low relative errors, high regression coefficients of COD and DIN, and realistic distribution in comparison to the observation, our coupled model could be applicable for assessing the marine ecosystem response to nutrient input reduction in Jinhae Bay. Due to the new construction and expansion of sewage treatment plant from our government, we reduce 50% nutrient inputs near Masan Bay and sewage treatment plant. COD achieves Level II in Korea standard of the water quality from the middle of the Masan Bay to all around Jinhae Bay except the inner Masan Bay remaining at Level III. When our experiment reduces 50% nutrient inputs near Masan Bay and Dukdong sewage treatment plant simultaneously, COD decreases to about 0.1-1.2 mg/L $(128^{\circ}30'{\sim}128^{\circ}40'\;E,\;35^{\circ}05'{\sim}35^{\circ}11'\;N)$. The COD from the middle of the Masan Bay to Jinhae Bay achieves Level II.

Distribution of organic materials In the surface sediments was investigated in September 1983 in Chinhae Bay System. Bottom waters containing less than 1ml/l of dissolved oxygen were found in Masan Bay, and in part of Kohyonsong Bay and Wonmunpo Bay. Organic carbon content in the surface sediments of Masan Bay was about 25mg/g and it decreased with increasing distance from the inner Masan Bay. Mean organic carbon contents in Wonmunpo Bay and Kohyonsong Bay were 25.48 and 31.39mg/g, respectively, which are higher values than those in Masan Bay where large amount of domestic and industrial wastewaters art discharged into the surface water and extensive phytoplankton occurs almost year round. Mean organic nitrogen and pheophyton contents were also the highest in Kohyonsong Bay amont eight subareas. In Masan Bay, settling of organic materials on the surface sediments seemed to be not significant because of active tidal mixing and relatively small size of particulate materials. In Kohyonsong Bay and Wonmunpo Bay large fecal pellets produced in shellfish farms could be easily settled down on the sediment because of weak current regime. DO content in the bottom waters were low in the organic material rich areas, and that suggests biodegradation of organic materials in the surface sediments could be an important oxygen consuming process during the study period of September 1983.

해역수질 관리를 위해 마산만으로 유입되는 육상기인오염원이 해역수질에 미치는 영향인 오염기여율을 생태계 모델을 이용하여 정량화하였다. 오염기여율은 마산만 해역으로 들어오는 16개 오염원 각각의 유무에 따라 해역 정점별 수질 농도변화를 통해 계산하였다. 오염기여율 결과로 만 내측의 하천들은 만 북부에서 COD는 20 %, T-P는 62 %로 나타났고, 만 중부에서는 COD는 10 %, T-P는 16 %로 나타냈다. 따라서, 만 내측의 하천들은 마산만 북부와 중부수질에 영향을 주고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 만 북부로 유입되는 하천들의 T-P기여율이 COD기여율 보다 높기 때문에, COD부하보다 T-P부하가 수질에 미치는 영향이 더 큰 것으로 판단된다. 만 남부 오염원인 덕동하수처리장은 남부에서 COD는 26 %, T-P는 11 %, 중부에서 COD는 17 %, T-P는 7 %, 만 외측에서는 COD는 10 %, T-P는 1 % 기여하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 저층 잔차류 흐름이 만 내측으로 향하고 있기 때문에 마산만 외측보다 남부와 중부에서 수질에 더 큰 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Nine surface sediments from Masan Bay and Gadeog Channel were taken for grain size and geochemical and foraminiferal analyses in August 2002. The sediments consist of mud with 7.29-8.54 $\phi$ in mean grain size. Average concentrations of Al, Fe and Mn are higher in Gadeog Channel than those in Masan Bay. On the other hand, average concentrations of Pb, Cu, Zn, Cd, Cr, Ni and V are higher in Masan Bay than those in the channel. The latter group of elements show the highest concentration at station M4, off the outfall of treated wastewater disposal. Eighty-one foraminiferal species are identified in total assemblages, including 21 species of living populations. The number of individuals, species number, species diversity and equitability in Masan Bay have lower values than those in Gadeog Channel. The foraminiferal fauna off the outfall is relatively poor. Compared to geochemical and foraminiferal data obtained in 1996, heavy metals are more enriched, and the characteristics of foraminifera are little changed. These features indicate that the pollution of Masan Bay has not been reduced.

During the last two decades, many industrial complexes for heavy and chemical industries have been established along the Korean coastline, thereby increasing the pollution materials burden on the coastal environment of seawater. Masan Bay is one of the most polluted coastal areas in Korea and the main soures of pollutants are domestic and industrial wastewater from Masan, Changwon. This study was aimed to evaluate relationships among the physicochemical parameters in the bottom water of Masan bay and to examine environmental factors affecting to pollutions of seawater by factor analysis. 'rife factor loading, 1 is showed higher increasing inclination after 1989 year in station 1. The variance of pollutant materials is showed 43.7% in which the coastal inflow water is indicated external loadings(factor 1 : NO3--N, TN, factor 4 : SiO2-Si) corresponded to domestic sewage, industrial wastewater, and earth-sands in the bottom water of Masan bay And the internal loadings(factor 2 : SS, salinity, factor 3 . W.T., DO) are explained 33.8%'corresponded the phenomena of sedimentary layer and oxygen concentration. Therefore, The external loadings are explained by the higher factor pollutantal variance in Masan bay.

It is noted that the red tides and the oxygen-deficient water mass are extensively developed in Masan Bay during summer. The nutrients mass balance was calculated in Masan Bay, using the three-dimensional numerical hydrodynamic model and the material cycle model. The material cycle model was calibrated with the data obtained on the field of the study area in June 1993. The nutrients mass balance calculated by the combination of the residual currents and material cycle model results showed nutrients of surface and middle levels to be transported from the inner part to the outer part of Masan Bay, and nutrients of bottom level to be transported from outer part to inner part of Masan Bay. The uptake rate of DIN in the box A1(surface level of inner part) was found to be 337. 5mg/$m^3$ㆍday, the largest value in all 9 boxes and that of DIP was found to be 18.6mg/$m^3$ㆍday in box A1, and the regeneration rate of DIN was found to be 78.2mg/$m^3$ㆍday in the box A3(bottom level of inner part), and that of DIP was found to be 18.6mg/$m^3$ㆍday in box A1. The regenerations of DIN and DIP in the water column of the entire Bay were found to be 7.66ton/day and 760kg/day, respectively. And the releases of DIN and DIP from the sediments of the entire Bay were found to be 2.86ton/day and 634kg/day, respectively. The regeneration rate was 2.5 times as high as the release rate in DIN, and 1.2 times in DIP. The results of mass balance calculation showed not only the nutrients released from the sediments but the nutrients regenerated in water column to be important in the control and management of water quality in Masan Bay.

Transcriptomic changes in the brain of Limanda yokohamae were investigated to understand the environmental condition of Masan Bay, Korea. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the brain of the flat fish from Masan Bay were identified by comparing those from the reference site Gangneung using annealing control primers-based polymerase chain reaction. The results demonstrated that two different kinds of the cytoplasmic ribosomal proteins, 40 s ribosomal protein S27a and ribosomal protein L6, were identified by the BLAST searching followed by sequence analysis. These findings suggest that environmental status of Masan Bay could hinder protein synthesis that is required for maintaining brain functions and thus cause the dysfunction of fish physiology.

In this work, we compared the characteristics of three benthic biotic indices (BPI, AMBI, BIBI) which indicates the health condition of benthic communities in Masan Bay, Korea where anthropogenic impacts have been concentrated. Also we evaluated the usefulness of these benthic indices and some problems if they were applied to the Korean coastal waters. For this we used the macrozoobenthos data collected using van Veen grab ($0.1\;m^2$) at 21 sites in Masan Bay in February and August 2004. Based on the BPI values, two stations in the inner bay were found in a very hard polluted condition and three stations in the middle bay were also in a highly polluted condition. Only one station located in the bay mouth was in a normal condition. The inner bay stations showed very high AMBI values (${\geq}5.0$), indicating a highly polluted condition. The bay mouth station was assessed in a moderately polluted condition. The overall BIBI values in Masan Bay were in the range between 1.0 and 3.0. The inner bay stations showed low BIBI values (${\leq}2.0$) in the severely degraded condition. The bay mouth station with high BIBI value over 3.0 was assessed as a normal condition. All three benthos indices showed that macrozoobenthic communities in the inner bay were in a seriously polluted condition all year round, and macrobenthic faunas in the bay mouth seemed in a bad healthy condition (slightly polluted) based on AMBI during summer season. These three benthic biotic indices showed the similar assessment result, and thus we consider that each of them is a useful tool for the assessment of coastal benthic ecosystems under the organic enrichment in sediment.

산업폐수와 도시하수의 유입이 심한 마산만에서 하계에 각종 질소화합물의 분포와 산소소비율에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 1986년 하계에 마산만은 육수유입의 영향을 강 하게 받았으며 수온약층 아래에는 빈산소층이 형성되었다. 용존성무기질소(DIN), 용존 성유기질소(DON), 입자성질소(PN) 는 내만 육수유입을 직접받는 곳에서 각각 735.6, 1261.8 amd 48.5 umol/l의 분포를 보였으며 마산내만 입구에서는 각각 79.1, 73.0 and 39.5 umol/l를 나타냈다. 마산내만입구의 일차생산력은 2,695mgC/m$^2$/day였다. 용존산 소량은 내만입구에서는 3 m 아래에서부터, 마산수로에서는 10 m 아래에서부터 1 ml/l 이하를 보였다. 저층수중의 높은 암모니아와 인산염의 농도는 유기물의 활발한 분해나 저층퇴적물로부터의 용출에 의한 것이라 생각된다. ETS 활동도는 마산내민 가장안쪽에 서 212.1ul $O^2$/l/h였고 마산내만입구의 저층수에서는 산소소비가 442 ml $O^2$/day의 비율로 지행되었다. 마산수로저층수에서의 탈질화 속도는 0.25 umol/l/day 였으며 마 산내만입구에서는 표층에서 일차생산에 의해 생성된 유기물의 9.3-10.5%가 저층수에서 분해되는 것으로 보인다.

1996년 6월부터 11월까지 적조가 빈번히 발생하는 해역인 행암만과 마산만을 대상으로 종속 영양세균과 엽록소 a 함량에 미치는 환경요인의 역할에 대하여 조사하였다. 본 연구결과에 따르면 마산만과 행암만의 수계환경은 무기영양염의 함량이 뚜렷한 한 차이를 나타내었다. 행암만은 질소영양염이 제한된 수계환경이고, 마산만은 담수의 유입이 많은 초여름과 가을에 인에 비하여 질소의 농도가 높게 나타나 행암만에 비해 인 영양염이 제한되는 수계환경특성을 갖고 있다. 단순회귀분석의 결과에 의하면, 엽록소 a는 행암만에서 강수량 (r=0.813, P<0.05), 인 (r=0.846, P<0.05)과 유의한 상관관계를 나타내었으나 마산만에서는 다른 환경변수와 유의한 상관관계를 나타내지 않았다. 종속영양세균은 행암만 (규산염 규소, r=0.960, P<0.01) 보다 마산만 (강수량, r=0.990, P<0.01 : NO₃-N, r=0.901, P<0.05, 용존성 무기질소, r=0.899, P<0.05 ;N/P mole 비, r=0.952, P<0.05 : 염분, r=-0.934, P<0.05)에서 많은 환경변수들과 유의한 상관관계를 나타냈다. 또한 중회귀분석에 의하면, 엽록소 a는 마산만에서 규산염 규소에 의해 67.8%의 중요도를 나타내었으며 행암만에서 N/P 비에 의해 37.6%의 중요도를 나타내었다. 종속영양세균의 분포는 마산만에서 규산염 규소와 염분에 의해 각각 42.3%와 32.1%의 중요도를 나타내었으며, 행암만에서 규산염 규소에 의해 76.3%의 중요도를 나타내었다. 결론적으로 초여름과 가을사이에 행암만과 마산만에서 담수의 유입은 풍부한 영양원, 유기물과 용존성 무기질소의 증가를 유도하였으며 종속영양세균과 엽록소 a 함량의 변화를 지배하는 주된 환경요인으로 작용하였음을 알 수 있었다.
