육상기인 오염원의 해양유입의 급속한 증가로 인해 유해성 적조발생이 빈번해졌을 뿐 아니라, 양식기술의 발달과 과밀양식으로 인해 연안역의 자가 오염증가가 가속화되고 있다. 따라서 해양환경 관리와 적절한 해역이용을 위해 과학적인 관리의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 현행 환경기준은 일본의 해역 수질기준을 준용하여 육상의 배수기준에 희석 비율을 적용시켜 설정하는 공학적인 방식이다. 그리고 해역의 환경특성을 고려하지 않고 일률적인 값을 적용하였다. 유럽연합, 미국, 호주, 캐나다 등의 선진국에서는 이미 20여 년 전부터 종합적인 수질관리대책을 마련하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 우리나라 해양환경 특성에 적합한 수질평가 기준을 설정하기 위해 해역을 해류, 조석, 탁도 등을 기준으로 다섯 가지의 생태구로 구분하였다. 그리고 국가해양측정망의 관측항목 중에서 부영양화의 원인항목(용존 무기질소(dissolved inorganic nitrogen, DIN), 용존 무기인(dissolved inorganic phosphorus, DIP)과 일차반응항목(클로로필, Secchi depth)과 이차반응항목(저층용존산소포화도, bottom dissolved oxygen saturation)에 해당하는 항목들을 평가항목으로 선정하였다. 용존 무기질소, 용존 무기인과 클로로필의 기준값은 각각의 생태구에서 하천의 유입 영향이 최소인 외양역 정점의 2000년에서 2007년까지의 계절별 평균값 중 최대값으로 하였고, Secchi depth는 계절별 평균값 중 최소값을 선택하였다. 그리고 저층용존산소 포화도는 외양역의 평균값 중 최소포화도 값인 90%를 전체 생태구의 기준값으로 정하였다. 전체연안을 체계적이고 동일한 기준으로 관리하기 위해서 개별 평가항목의 점수로부터 원인항목, 일차반응 항목, 이차반응 항목 순으로 큰 가중치를 부여하는 가중선형합산 방식으로 수질지수를 계산하였다. 2000년부터 2007년까지 모든 정점에서 구한 수질지수의 분포는 최소값인 20과 중앙값이 30에서 빈도수가 높은 쌍봉분포가 나타났다. 따라서 수질지수의 쌍봉분포 앞부분에 해당하는 23이하를 매우좋음(I등급)으로 하였고 최소값+표준편차 이하를 좋음(II등급), 최소값+2표준편차 이하를 보통(III등급), 최소값+3표준편차 이하를 나쁨(IV등급), 그리고 최소값+3표준편차 초과일 때 아주나쁨(V등급)으로 정하였다.

바지락 양식장의 해수 수온은 황도가 정산포에 비하여 높은 것으로 나타났지만 염분은 황도가 낮았으며 용존산소와 pH는 비슷한 값을 나타났다. 그리고 엽록소 a 와 규산염은 황도가 높았으며 무기질소와 무기인은 비슷한 농도로 나타났다. 퇴적물의 입도는 황도가 세립질이고 분급이 양호하며, 정산포는 조립질이고 분급이 불량하였고, 유기물은 황도에서 높게 나타났다. C/N 비는 황도와 정산포에서 10 이하의 값을 나타내어 외부에 의한 오염보다는 해양기원의 유기물에 의한 것으로 조사되었으며 C/S 비는 두 지역에서 2.8 이하로 정상적인 해양환경으로 조사되었다. 중금속에 대한 농축비 (Ef) 는 두 지역에서 1 보다 크게 나타나 중금속이 유입 또는 금속황화물 형성과 관련된 축적현상으로 퇴적물에 농축되어 있음을 의미한다. 또한 농집지수 (Igeo)의 결과는 연구지역이 Igeo class가 1에 집중되어 있어 약간 오염되었거나 오염되지 않은 수준 (practically unpolluted / moderately polluted) 으로 나타났다. 조석에 따른 1차 생산력에서 황도가 정산포에 비하여 높게 나타났으며, 황도에서는 2월과 8월에 높고 5월에 낮은 반면 정산포에서는 8월만 높게 나타났다. 생산성 평가를 위하여 채집한 바지락의 비만도는 황도가 높았지만 크기와 서식밀도는 정산포가 크게 나타났다. 서식밀도의 변화에 대한 조사결과를 보면 7월까지 어획, 8월부터 종패의 가입 그리고 9월에는 폐사 때문인 것으로 사료된다.

This study was conducted to estimation of change characteristics for water quality by the dyke gate operation in the Keum River estuary. The estimation data made use of surveyed data in Keum River estuary by NERDI (National Fisheries Research and Development Institute) during $1990\~1999$. Shown to compare water quality changes at st. A and st. D in Figure 1, the concentrations of TSS, COD and nutrients at st. A were as high as about $2\~4$ times than those at st. D due to affection of fresh water discharge in the Keum River. The percentages of water quality change at surface water by dyke gate operation in the Keum River estuary were shown that TSS (Total Suspended Solid) was decrease to $56\%,\;47\%$ at st. A and D, and COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) was increase to $68\%,\;71\%$ at st. A and D, respectively. The changes percentage of DIN (Dissolved Inorganic Nitrogen) by dyke gate operation in the Keum River estuary were increase high to $95\%$ at surface water and $7\sim30\%$ at bottom water, but those of DIP (Dissolved Inorganic Phosphorus) were increase to $2.8\sim8.6\%$ at surface water and $28\%$ at bottom water. The range of fluctuation for water quality at each station by dyke gate operation has shown that salinity and TSS are little better than before dyke gate operation, but COD show highly fluctuation. Also we studied estimation of characteristics of water quality change by the season, COD was increased except the summer, TSS was decreased to all season. DIN was increased to about $61\sim172.1\%$ for all season, but DIP was increased to the spring and decreased to the autumn, DIN enrichment in the estuary by dyke gate operation are interpreted to improvement of organic matter decomposition and nitrification by increasing the residence time and to increase nutrient flux in sediments due to decreasing dissolved oxygen and increasing a deposit matter.

We measured the concentrations of organic matter and metallic elements (Al, Fe, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Pb and Hg) in the surface sediments of Masan Harbor (in the southern sea, Korea) to evaluate the geochemical characters of sediment and the pollutions by organic matter and metallic elements. The mean grain size of the surface sediments in the study area ranged from $5.6{\phi}$ to $7.8{\phi}$, indicating silt sediment. The water content of the surface sediments exceeded 60% except at some stations. The contents of ignition loss (IL), total organic carbon (TOC) and total nitrogen (TN) ranged from 7.2-14.3%, 1.2-3.2%, and 0.10-0.28%, respectively. Based on the C/N ratios, the organic matter in the surface sediments of Masan Harbor may originate from terrigenous sources including fluvial inputs (mainly sewage in urban areas). The chemical oxygen demand (COD) and acid volatile sulfide (AVS) ranged from $11.3-29.9\;mgO_2/g\;dry$ and 0.20-4.47 mgS/g dry, respectively, and low concentrations were observed near a shipping route. In addition, the concentrations of metallic elements showed large spatial variations in Masan Harbor and the distributions of metallic elements were also comparable to those of organic matter. This implies that the distributions of organic matter and metallic elements in the surface sediments of Masan Harbor are mainly controlled by biogenic matter and artificial action (mainly dredging). In addition, we calculated the enrichment facto. (EF) and geoaccumulation index (Igeo) in order to evaluate pollution by metallic elements. The enrichment of metallic elements relative to Al was three to eighteen times higher at the study sites, compared to levels in the Earth's crust except for Fe, Ni and Mn. In addition, the Igeo class indicated that the surface sediments in the study area were moderately to strongly polluted in terms of metallic elements.

A chitinase-producing bacterium was isolated from seashore mud around Beobseongpo in Chunmam province through the use of a selective enrichment culture. The best chitinase producing strain was isolated and identified as Serratia marcescens KY from its characteristics. For effective production of chitinase, optimum pH, temperature, and agitation speed were investigated in flask cultures. The optimum pH using Serratia marcescens KY was between pH 6 and 7 and the chitinase produced was 37.9 unit/mL. On the other hand, the optimal pH of the Serratia marcescens ATCC 27117 was 7.5, and the produced amount of chitinase was 35.2 unit/mL. The optimal temperature for chitinase production for Serratia marcescens KY and Serratia marcescens ATCC 27117 was $30^{\circ}$. The cell growth pattern at different temperature was almost identical to the chitinase production. To investigate the optimal shaking speed under optimal culture, speeds were varied in the range of 0∼300 rpm. The maximum production of chitinase was carried at 200 rpm although the cell growth was the highest at 150 rpm. It indicates that oxygen adjustment is required for the maximum chitinase production. Using optimal conditions, batch cultures for comparing Serratia marcescens KY and Serratia marcescens ATCC 27117 were carried out in a 5 L fermentor. The oxygen consumption was increased with the increase of culture. Especially, at 120 h of culture Serratia marcescens KY and Serratia marcescens ATCC 27117 produced 38.3 unit/mL, and 33.5 unit/mL, respectively.

This study conducted a comparative analysis of benthic macroinvertebrate communities in the Fosu and Benya lagoons in Ghana, based on the anthropogenic effect on the two lagoons. Salinity, oxygen, temperature, conductivity, turbidity and pH were measured, invertebrate richness and species densities were determined. The AZTI Marine Biotic Index (AMBI) and multivariate statistics were used to determine the different responses of fauna to pollution. The fauna were categorized into five ecological groups based on the degree of tolerance of the different species to pollution: disturbance-sensitive species; disturbance-indifferent species, disturbance-tolerant species, second-order opportunistic species; and first-order opportunistic species. The Fosu Lagoon supported more pollution tolerant species, whereas the Benya Lagoon had more species that were sensitive to organic enrichment under relatively unpolluted conditions. Chironomus sp., which is adapted to virtually anoxic conditions, was the most abundant in the Fosu Lagoon whereas Nemertea sp. was the most abundant in the Benya Lagoon. The numerical and relative abundance (%) of all 7 taxa in the Fosu Lagoon was 1,359 and 92.35%, respectively. The numerical and relative abundance (%) of all 34 taxa in the Benya Lagoon was 2,459 and 87.52%, respectively. Expectedly, the level of dissolved oxygen in the less saline Fosu Lagoon was higher than that in the more saline Benya Lagoon. The reduced photoperiod and photosynthetic activities of aquatic plants might account for this trend. There is a need to implement comprehensive monitoring and management initiatives for sustaining the ecological health of coastal lagoons in Ghana in order to support the many people that depend upon these ecosystems for their livelihood.

Campylobacter is one of the emerging foodborne pathogens, and its worldwide incidence rate is extremely high. This study was undertaken to isolate and identify Campylobacter strains from chicken carcasses in the local markets, and analyze their characteristics regarding oxygen tolerance. They were isolated after aerobic enrichment and identified by biochemical, physiological, and morphological characteristics, PCR, and 16S rDNA sequencing. Their oxygen tolerances were analyzed in terms of the cell surface hydrophobicity, cell fatty acid composition, and oxidoreductase. Five strains of C. jejuni were isolated and identified from 61 isolates from 50 chickens. Among them, C. jejuni IC21 grew well in Brucella broth and commercial milk under aerobic condition. However, in the aerobic exposure, the cell surface hydrophobicity of C. jejuni IC21 was almost the same as the other isolates, even though its morphology changed from the spiral-bacilli form into the coccoid form. Fatty acid analyses showed that all Campylobacter strains had a high composition of $C_{19:1}$, cyclopropane fatty acid, and that the amount of the other fatty acids were very similar between them. Interestingly, however, only oxidoreductase activities of C. jejuni IC21 increased highly under aerobic exposure even though its activities were almost the same as the other C. jejuni strains just after microaerobic culture. It had 11.8 times higher catalase activity, 4.4 times higher for SOD, and 2.0 times higher for NADH oxidase activities. Therefore, in the case of the aero-adaptive C. jejuni IC21, expression of oxidoreductase significantly increased under oxidative stressed condition, which might allow it to survive for a longer time and grow on food under aerobic exposure. Such new strain might be one of the explanations for the increase of campylobacteriosis.

This study was to provide basic data for aquatic ecosystem research using fishes. Field sampling was carried out at five selected sites of Gap Stream, and fish samples, especially for a selection of sentinel species were collected three times in June, September, and October 2007. We analyzed total length distribution of Zacco platypus in relation with the season and the sampling sites, and then compared with total body weight, condition factor (K), and age distribution of the fish. The fish population data were compared with physico-chemical water quality, obtained from the Ministry of Environment, Korea. Water quality analysis showed a significant nutrient enrichment, based on total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP), and organic matter pollution, based on biological oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) in the Site 5, which is directly influenced by wastewater disposal plant (WDP). Population analysis of the sentinel species showed that the total number of individuals, age distribution, and the population size-structure were influenced by the effluents from the WDP, and that reproductive failure of young-age population were evident in Site 5. According to the relation analysis of total weight to K, the disturbed population was mainly attributed to combined effects of habitat modifications and chemical degradations. Regression analysis of K values against water quality parameters showed significant (p<0.05) positive relations with nutrient and organic matter contents. Our data suggest that the population structure using a sentinel fish species reflected the ambient water quality in the stream and that diagnosis of aquatic ecosystem health using Z. platypus population may be practical for water resource and ecosystem conservations.

In this study, high temperature wetting analysis and AZ80/Ti interfacial structure observation are performed for the mixture of AZ80 and Ti, and the effect of Al on wetting in Mg alloy is examined. Both molten AZ80 and pure Mg have excellent wettability because the wet angle between molten droplets and the Ti substrate is about 10° from initial contact. Wetting angle decreases with time, and wetting phenomenon continues between droplets and substrate; the change in wetting angle does not show a significant difference when comparing AZ80-Ti and Mg-Ti. As a result of XRD of the lower surface of the AZ80-Ti sample, in addition to the Ti peak of the substrate, the peak of TiAl3, which is a Ti-Al intermetallic compound, is confirmed, and TiAl3 is generated in the Al enrichment region of the Ti substrate surface. EDS analysis is performed on the droplet tip portion of the sample section in which pure Mg droplets are dropped on the Ti substrate. Concentration of oxygen by the natural oxide film is not confirmed on the Ti surface, but oxygen is distributed at the tip of the droplet on the Mg side. Molten AZ80 and Ti-based compound phases are produced by thickening of Al in the vicinity of Ti after wetting is completed, and Al in the Mg alloy does not affect the wetting. The driving force of wetting progression is a thermite reaction that occurs between Mg and TiO2, and then Al in AZ80 thickens on the Ti substrate interface to form an intermetallic compound.

해상 어류가두리 양식장이 주변 환경에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 2003년 8월에 경남 통영시 미륵도에 설치된 해상 어류가두리양식장에서 거리를 증가시키면서 퇴적물로 유입되는 입자물질의 침강 플럭스, 퇴적물 내 유기탄소의 수직분포, 퇴적물의 산소소모율, 저서동물의 군집을 분석하였다. 입자 유기물 침강 플럭스, 표층 퇴적물의 유기탄소 농도 및 퇴적물의 산소소모율은 가두리에서 멀어질수록 점차 감소하는 양상을 보여 가두리양식장에서 유출된 유기물이 주변으로 확산되는 것을 나타냈다. 저서동물 중 다모류인 Tharyx multifilis, Lumbrineris longifolia, Siganlbra tentaculata, Capitella capitata가 전체 군집에 88%를 차지하여 우점하였으며, 특히 오염지표종인 Capitella cupitata는 반경 5 m이내에서만 출현하였다. 퇴적물의 산소소모율 및 저서동물의 군집을 이용하여 추정한 유기물의 오염 영향권이 잘 일치하여 가두리양식장을 중심으로 반경 10 m내외에 유기물이 집중적으로 퇴적되고 있으며 최소한 50 m까지 영향을 주는 것으로 파악되었다. 가두리양식장에서 퇴적물로 유입되는 유기탄소 플럭스는 2.14 g C m$^{-2}$ day$^{-1}$으로 가두리양식장에서 50 m떨어진 지점에 비해 약 2배 정도 큰 수치였다. 또한 유입된 유기물 중 약 50%(1.07 g C m$^{-2}$ day$^{-1}$)가 상부층에서 분해되었다. 반면 50 m 저점에서는 유입된 유기탄소 중 30%(0.30 g C m$^{-2}$ day$^{-1}$)가 재순환되며 나머지 70%는 퇴적되는 것으로 나타났다.
