This paper focuses on the impacts of waste dumping on inorganic nutrients in the dumping area of the Yellow Sea, and the effect of an governmental regulation of pollution in dumping areas. The environmental variables and parameters of the dumping and reference areas in the Yellow Sea were measured during July 2009 and analyzed. In addition, the analyzed data for inorganic nutrients over the last 10 years were obtained from the Korea Coast Guard (KCG) and the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (NFRDI). The chemical environment of the study area revealed increases in concentrations of inorganic nutrients, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and Volatile Suspended Solids (VSS) in the bottom layer. On the contrary, the pH level was decreased. Most notably, the time series data of inorganic nutrients showed gradual increase over time in the dumping area, and thus, the oligotrophic waters trend toward eutrophic waters. The increases appears to be due to the disposal of large amounts of organic waste. In recent times, the wastes disposed at the area were largely comprised of livestock wastewater, and food processing waste water. The liquefied waste, which contains an abundance of nutrients, causes a sharp increase in concentrations of inorganic nitrogen in the dumping area. On the one hand, the dumping sites have been deteriorated to such an extent that pollution has become a social problem. Consequentially, the government had a regulatory policy for improvement of marine environmental since 2007 in the dumping area. Hence, the quality of marine water in the dumping site has improved.

This study estimated response of water duality and pollutant behavior according to the discharge and reuse of treated wastewater by three-dimensional eco-hydrodynamic model, and suggest plan that water quality management and environmental restoration in the coastal area including urban stream of Yeosu, Korea. Dispersions of low-saline water and COD by treated wastewater loads (design facility capacity, about $110,000m^3/d$) were very limited in near of effluent site. Nutrients, however, increase compared to the other water quality factors, especially total nitrogen was very sensitive to input loads. When reuse some of treated wastewater to Yeondeung stream, nitrogen was big influence on estuarine water quality. Although current characteristics of treated wastewater such as discharge and water quality were negligible to the change of marine environment, effluent concentration of COD, TN and TP, especially 40% of TN, are reduced within the allowable pollutant loads for satisfy environmental capacity and recommended water duality criteria. Also, controls of input point/non-point sources to Yeondeung stream and base concentration of pollutants in coastal sea itself are very necessary.

The growth of sea weeds is greatly affected by the environmental conditions of ambient water. Especially nutrient salts in sea water function as a major factor to the growth of lavers, so that the content of inorganic substances in lavers could he a criterion for quality evaluation of lavers. In this experiment, the relation between the quality and the content of Zinc and Magnesium which are not only physiologically active and closely related with pigments such as chlorophll and phycobilins but also important in quantify is discussed if such a measurement to be an index for quality evaluation. Sixteen samples of layers were collected from three different culture farms, 7 from Jangrim-Busan, 6 from Wando-Jeon Nam, 3 from Hadong-Gyeong Nam, and classified into 3 quality grades to each farm and to whole samples by organoleptic test. Zinc and Magnesium were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. For pigment analysis, chlorphyll was extracted with 85 percent acetone, filtered and the absorbance was measured at 660 nm and the residue was further extracted with phosphoric buffer solution to determine the optical density for phycobilins at 560 nm. The result showed that the total content of Zinc and Magnesium varied between the farms, but kept consistent with quality grades from the same farm. The Zinc content was correlated proportion- ally with the content of phycobilins, and Magnesium content in total ash could roughly represent the content of chlorophll except some examples in which the Magnesium content of chlorophyll-ext ractresiduewasexceptionallyhigher. In conclusion the contents of these metals provide an applicable index for quality judgment of lavers.

In general, long-term changes of ecological factors take a pulse form in which they interact with other factors and go through a repeated increasing and decreasing cycle. The coupling of the two approaches the grid model and the box model in ecological modeling can lead to an in-depth understanding of the environment. The study analyzes temporal variations of major storages with an energy system model that formulizes effectively the relationships among nutrients, phytoplankton, and zooplankton in the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea. An increase of light intensity and standing stock of nutrient increase the magnitude and frequency of pulsing. Also, an immense reduction of nutrient concentration can cause extinction of the pulsing and bring about a steady state. It is concluded that the nutrient loads in freshwater discharge from the Yangtze affect the cycles of major ecological components as well as water quality variables and play an important role in the marine ecosystem.

본 연구는 남해 근해 및 동중국해의 효율적 이용과 관리를 위한 기초연구로서 2001-2003년 6월에 수질과 저질환경 특성을 평가하였다. 연구해역 상층의 수괴는 북상하는 고온 고염의 쿠로시오 난류기원의 영향을 많이 받았고, 25 m 및 50 m층은 황해냉수의 영향을 받는 저온수가 동남향으로 확장하였고, 그리고 양자강 하구역에 인접한 정점들의 표층에서는 29.0 psu이하의 낮은 염분분포를 보였다. 수온약층은 대략 10 m층에서 형성되었고, 양자강 하구쪽으로 갈수록 얕아지고, 멀어질수록 깊어지는 경향을 나타내었다. COD(화학적 산소요구량)와 TN(총질소) 및 TP(총인)는 대부분 해역의 표층에서 해역환경기준 II등급이하를 나타내었으나, 양자강 하구역에 근접한 정점들에서는 TSS(총부유물질)농도가 급증하였고, COD근 해역환경기준 III등급을 초과하였을 뿐만아니라 영양염류도 적조발생 가능농도를 초과하는 분포를 보였다. Redfield ratio(무기질소대 무기인 비)는 2002년과 2003년에는 전 수층 평균값이 대부분 16이하의 값을 나타내었으나, 육상쪽으로 갈수록 16이상의 값을 보였다. Chl. a는 상층에서 양자강 영향지역과 남해 근해에서 상대적 고농도를, 대만난류해역에서 저농도를 보여주었고, 클로로필농도 극대층은 대략 수온과 밀도 약층 수심이나 그 하부에서 형성되었다. 대상해역으로의 영양염류 공급기구는 양자강을 포함한 담수에 의한 공급이 매우 중요한 기여를 하는 것으로 나타났고, 표층의 염분과 Chl. a는 매우 뚜렷한 음의 상관성을 나타내 어서 높은 식물플랑크톤 생물량은 영양염류의 공급과정과 직결되는 것으로 판단되었다. 또한, 이러한 Chl. a는 무기질소에 비해서 무기인과 상관성이 더 좋은 것으로 나타났고, 대상해역의 유기물질 분포에 식물플랑크톤에 의한 자생적인 기여가 큰 것으로 평가되었다. 퇴적물은 공간적으로 다소 불규칙한 변동이 있지만, 저질조성과 관련해서 양자강 하구쪽으로 갈수록 오염도가 낮고, 조사해역의 동쪽부분에서 유기오염의 정도가 상대적으로 크게 나타났지만, 그 오염도는 심하지 않는 것으로 분석되었다. 향후 본 대상해역에 있어서 산샤댐 건설과 관련된 양자강 유량의 변화, 그리고 어업활동과 관련된 폐기물에 의한 해양환경의 영향평가 및 대책 연구가 수행되어져야 할 것이다.

In this study, the TOC in six estuarine reservoirs in the West Sea (Ganwol, Namyang, Daeho, Bunam, Sapkyo, and Asan) was estimated using optically-active water quality factors by the water environment monitoring network. First, specification data and land use maps of each estuarine reservoir were collected. Subsequently, water quality data from 2013 to 2020 were collected. The data comprised of 11 parameters: pH, dissolved oxygen, BOD, COD, suspended solids (SS), total nitrogen, total phosphorus, water temperature, electrical conductivity, total coliforms, and chlorophyll-a (Chl-a). The TOC in the estuarine reservoirs was 4.9~7.0 mg/L, with the highest TOC of 7.0 mg/L observed at the Namyang reservoir, which has a low shape coefficient and high drainage density. The correlation of TOC with water quality factors was also analyzed, and the correlation coefficients of Chl-a and SS were 0.28 and 0.19, respectively, while the correlation coefficients of these factors in the Namyang reservoir were 0.42 and 0.27, respectively. To improve the estimation of TOC using Chl-a and SS, the TOC was averaged in 5 mg/L units, and Chl-a and SS were averaged. Correlation analysis was then performed and the R² of Chl-a-TOC was 0.73. The R² of SS-TOC was 0.73 with a non-linear relationship. TOC had a significant non-linear relationship with Chl-a and SS. However, the relationship should be assessed in terms of the spatial and temporal variations to construct a reliable remote sensing system.

본 연구는 생태계 모델을 이용하여 부산연안으로 유입되는 부하량 삭감에 따른 해역의 수질개선 정도를 예측하였다. 모델링 결과에 의하면 COD, T-N, T-P 모두 수영만 연안과 낙동강 하구에서 뚜렷한 개선을 나타냈으며, 수영만을 제외한 만 중부에서 만 동쪽까지는 수질개선이 거의 나타나지 않았다. 이는, 부산연안이 남해에 위치한 다른 해역에 비해 개방형경계를 가지고 있어서, 물질교환이 빠르기 때문으로 판단된다. 수질개선을 위한 본 해역의 삭감 COD 부하량은 타 해역에 비해 적었고, 총 유입부하량에 대한 삭감비율 또한 작게 나타났다. 본 연구에 적용한 부하삭감량을 적용하면 수영만, 낙동강 하구부근에서 뚜렷한 수질개선효과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

With land-use (cover) and water quality, the distributional characteristics of epilithic diatom communities were studied with 193 samples from estuaries of Korean peninsula between 2015 and 2016. Of total 394 taxa classified, Nitzschia perminuta (19.6%) and N. inconspicua (14.0%) were the 1st and 2nd dominant species. Using a cluster analysis, the epilithic diatom communities of Korean estuaries were divided into four groups (G1-G4). Ecological characteristics of each group were followed: G1 was located in estuaries of the East Sea, and characterized by high forest land-use and high DO and low nutrients; G2 was the eastern part of the South Sea, and characterized by low turbidity and nutrients; G3 was the western part of the South Sea, and characterized by high agriculture, low electric conductivity and low salinity; G4 was the Yellow Sea, and characterized by high nutrients. The environmental factors having significant correlation with diatom distributions were as follows: TN to G1, turbidity to G2, agriculture to G3, and TP to G4. Moreover, the important factors affecting the occurrence of indicator species were forest land-use for Fragilaria construens var. venter in G1, turbidity for Rhoicosphenia abbreviata in G2, urban land- use and total phosphorus (TP) for Bacillaria paradoxa and Hantzschia amphioxys of G3, and TP and turbidity for N. ovalis and Stephanodiscus invistatus of G4. These results collectively indicate that the distribution of epilithic diatom communities in Korean peninsula was largely effected by water quality and land cover/use.

아산만은 방조제 갑문을 통한 담수 유입과 외해인 서해로부터 해수가 유입되는 하구의 특성을 나타내는 곳으로, 반일주조형 조석을 가진 조수간만의 차가 크게 발생하는 해역이다. 하구에서 조석은 단기적인 물리·화학적 수질 특성 변화 및 생물학적 반응에 영향을 미칠 수 있어 조석에 따른 수질 변화를 파악하는 것은 중요하다. 본 연구는 아산만의 고정 정점에서 계절별로 2시간 간격으로 24시간 동안 조사하여 조석에 따른 수질 변동을 파악하고자 하였다. 연구 결과, 조위에 따른 수온과 염분의 변동이 확인되었고, 염분은 특히 조위와 유의한 양의 상관성을 보였다. 총부유물질의 경우 표층보다 저층의 농도가 높고, 조석에 따라 농도의 차이가 특히 저층에서 크게 나타났으며, 간조 시 높아지는 경향을 보였다. 영양염류인 아질산+질산성 질소도 조위 양상과 반대의 분포로 나타났으며, 상관성 분석 결과에서도 유의한 음의 상관성을 보였다. 나머지 영양염류들도 다소 약하지만 유사한 형태의 변동을 보였고, 담수 유입의 영향을 받은 7월에는 반대 경향이 더욱 명확하게 나타났다. 유기물 및 총질소, 총인의 경우 조석 주기 동안의 시간 변동이 다소 크게 나타났고, 대체적으로 조위와 반대의 분포를 보여 주었다. 입자 유기물을 제외하고 대부분 염분과 유의한 음의 상관성을 보여 무기질 영양염류와 유사하게 담수 유입이 공급원임을 암시하고 있다. 결국 아산만에서는 용존산소, pH 등 일부를 제외한 수질인자와 영양염류 및 유기물의 시간적 변동에 조석이 관여하여 단기적 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 판단된다.
