This study was carried out to investigate the charateristics of environmental factors and the species compositions of phytoplanktons and periphytons in order to analyze the marine ecosystem (DOK1-3) with freshwater (Mul) in the coast of Dokdo. Mean values of conductivity (TSD) (44.3 mS cm–1), total dissolved solids (30.9 mg L–1), salinity (31.8 psu), total suspended solids (39.2 mg L–1), and ash-free dry matter (AFDM) (8.8 mg L–1) were higher in DOK1- 3 than those in Mul (3.2 mS cm–1, 2.3 mg L–1, 1.9 psu, 2.8 mg L–1 and 2.8 mg L–1, espectively), while mean amounts of soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) (7.5 μg P L–1) and soluble reactive silicon (SRS) (0.1 μg Si L–1) were significantly lower in DOK1-3 than those in Mul (117.3 μg P L–1 and 4,105 μg Si L–1, respectively). The phytoplanktons was a total of 59 species in Dokdo, which were composed of 1 species (1.7%) for Chrysophyceae, 43 species (72.9%) for Bacillariophyceae and 15 species (25.4%) for Dinophyceae. The biomass (Chl-a, phaeopigment and AFDM) of epilithic algae (ELA), epizooic algae (EZA) and epiphytic algae (EPA) were varied with the kinds of substrates (EPA > ELA > EZA) in the whole stations. Water environments was comparatively clean in the coast of Dokdo as comparing with those of the land. However, the monitoring of marine ecosystem in the Dokdo should be continued for species conservation according to the global warming by the climatic change.

Spatial distribution of water pollution in the Gap Stream was investigated from October to November, 2005. Sampling was conducted three times including effluents discharged from a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and a dam reservoir during the low-flow period. As a typical urban stream, total nitrogen and inorganic nitrogen concentrations increased toward downstream. Ammonia concentration was the highest in the treated water of the wastewater treatment plant and the lowest nitrate concentration was found in the effluent of the dam reservoir. A part of soluble reactive phosphorous (SRP) in total phosphorous was 22~54% in the upstream reach of WWTP in the Gap Stream whereas 68~73% in the downstream reach. Mean chlorophyll-a concentration ranged from 1.6 to $11.0{\mu}g/L$ and it tends to increase toward downstream except for WWTP effluent. As expected, untreated wastewater and WWTP effluent were suggested as the major sources of water pollution in the Gap Stream. In this study, the water pollution of the Gap Stream is a significant undergoing typical eutrophication, caused by excessive phosphorus and nitrogen nutrients from WWTP located in the watershed. As a result, the critical factor for the water pollution was evaluated to dissolved inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients. Particularly, SRP is a most important for the eutrophication. It suggest that may occur in the most urban streams of Korean peninsula. Therefore, because the necessity of water pollution management in the urban stream, inorganic N and P nutrients should be included as an essential component of water quality criteria in the advanced water quality project of Korean Government by enforcing of water quality assessment and total maximum daily loads (TMDLs).

본 연구에서는 두 화학제재($FeSO_4$와 Alum)를 처리한 영향이 깔짚 위에서 육계를 42일간 사육한 후 깔짚내 질소와 수용성 인 함량에 어떤 차이가 있는지 대조구와 비교시험을 하였다. 2가지 실험은 처리구에서 깔짚 kg당 화학제재를 $FeSO_4$ $7H_2O$ 200 g이나 $Al_2(SO_4)_3$ $\cdot$ $14H_2O$ 200 g을 top dressing 한 후 그 각각을 대조구와 비교하였다. 사양시험에서는 총 64수(4처리$\times$4반복$\times$4수)의 육계를 배치하였다. 두 화학제재 처리구($FeSO_4$와 Alum)는 두 대조구와 비교할 때 pH는 통계적 유의성이 없었지만, 수용성 인 함량은 고도의 유의성이 인정되었다(P<0.01). 두 화학제재 처리구($FeSO_4$와 Alum)의 SRP 함량은 대조구 각각보다 $79\%$와 $60\%$의 감소를 보였다 $FeSO_4$ 처리구와 대조구간에는 EC, TC, $NH_4$-N, $NO_3$-N 및 IN 함량은 유의성이 없었지만, 수분, TN, ON, AN, PAN C:N 및 C:ON은 통계적 유의성이 인정되었다(P<0.01). Alum 처리구와 대조구의 결과는 EC, $NO_3$,-N, ON 및 C:ON을 제외한 수분, TC, TN, $NH_4$-N, IN, AN, PAN 및 C:N은 통계적 유의성이 인정되었다(P<0.05와0.01). 본 연구 결과를 다시 종합하면 깔짚에 두 화학제재를 각각 처리할 경우 깔짚내의 질소 함량은 높았으며 SRP함량을 감소시켰다.

The objectives of this study were to characterize the wastewater flow through the VFS, and relate this to the P removal in the VFS. A total of 68 subsurface wells (20∼40 cm below the soil surface) and 35 surface wells (0~5 cm), and the application of chloride tracer were used to investigate flow paths and soluble reactive P (SRP) removal from the 21 m wide and 33 m long VFS receiving dairy milkhouse waste. The early chloride breakthroughs in wells in the center of the VFS showed that the milkhouse waste flows preferentially down in the center of the hillslope. The locally saturated area created near the discharge pipe in the center of the VFS accelerates surface flow that contributed to rapid transport of P to the down slope area. Although VFS of 33m long eventually reduced SRP to lower than 0.2 mg/L in most cases, SRP is less effectively removed in the areas where soil saturation occurred. It is suggested that the effort to distribute the wastewater uniformly to avoid soil saturation and reduce the flow velocity need to be considered in new designs.

2000년 두 댐 저수지와 유입 하천에서 월별 alkaline phosphatase activity (APA)을 측정하였다. 또한 2001년 여름 동안은 한 댐 저수지에서 APA의 수직변화와 관련된 요인들을 조사하였다. APA는 여름 동안 저수지 표층에서 상대적으로 높게 나타났으나 심층에서는 거의 변화가 없었다. 그러나 바닥층 바로 윗부분에서는 APA의 미미한 증가 관찰되었다. APA변화와 용존무기인 농도 변화와는 상관관계가 없었으며, 이 결과 조사 대상 저수지에서 APA는 인 이용성의 상태를 의미하지는 않는 것으로 추정되었다. 시료의 size-fractionation 분석 결과, 조사 대상 저수지들에서 APA는 $0.4{\mu}m$보다 큰 입자들에 흡착된 반면, 유입 하천에서는 용존형태로 존재하는 것으로 판단되었다. 저수지 유광층에서 엽록소-a의 농도와 APA간에 유의한 양의 상관성이 나타났다. 무광층에서 APA는 세균의 colony count와 양의 상관성을 나타냈으나 총 세균수와는 상관성이 없었다.

In order to understand the mechanisms of conversion between different algal dominance, an experiment was performed in a greenhouse from 22 June to 10 July 2011. The experiment included a treatment group subjected to three instances of nutrient enrichment and a control with no nutrient enrichment. The initial water was dominated by Ankistrodesmus of Chlorophyta. The average water temperature at 08:30 h and 14:00 h during the experiment was $31.6^{\circ}C$ and $34.6^{\circ}C$, respectively. The results showed that the total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), dissolved total nitrogen (DTN), dissolved total phosphorus (DTP), and soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) concentrations in the treatment were significantly higher than in the control (P < 0.05). However, the TN/TP and DTN/DTP in the control was higher than in the treatment (P < 0.05). The dominant algae in the control did not change during the experiment, while the dominant algae in the treatment switched to Planktothrix of Cyanophyta on day 9. The chlorophyll a (Chl-a), wet weight of all algae, wet weight of Cyanophyta, and percentage of Cyanophyta in the control were all significantly lower than in the treatment (P < 0.05). Amounts of zooplankton, especially rotifers, were present at the end of the experimental period. The density of rotifers between the control and treatment was not significantly different (P > 0.05), while the copepod density in the treatment was higher than in the control (P < 0.05). We conclude that green algae dominance quickly switches to cyanobacteria dominance after nutrient enrichment in a greenhouse with elevated temperature.

Research on practices for improving water quality in channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus ponds was conducted at the Auburn University Fisheries Research Station, Auburn, Alabama, in 1998 and 1999. The objective of this two-year study was to determine better management practices to enhance water quality and improve production efficiency. In the first year, oxidation of bottom soil by drying, tilling, and applying sodium nitrate was performed (dry-till and dry-till with sodium nitrate treatments). The second year, based on the results obtained during the first year, precipitation of phosphorus (P) from water by applying gypsum was compared to the dry-till treatment (dry-till and dry-till with gypsum treatments). Control ponds were not subjected to bottom drying, tilling, sodium nitrate, or gypsum treatment. Channel catfish fingerings were stocked at 15,000/ha. In the first year, water in ponds from dry-till and dry-till with sodium nitrate treatments had lower concentrations (P < 0.01) of soluble reactive P, nitrate ($NO_{3} ^{-}) and nitrite ($NO_{2} ^{-}) nitrogen (N), total ammonia ($NH_3$) nitrogen, total suspended solids and turbidity, and higher values of pH, Secchi disk visibility, total alkalinity, total hardness, and calcium ($Ca^{2+}) hardness than water in control ponds. Ponds of the dry-till treatment also had lower concentrations (P < 0.01) of total P and total N than control ponds. Total fish production and survival rate did not differ among the treatments (P > 0.05). The findings suggested that drying and tiling pond bosoms between crops could achieve water quality improvement. Applying sodium nitrate to dry, tilled pond bosoms did not provide water quality improvement. In the second year, the treatment with the best results from the first year, dry-till, was compared with a dry-till with gypsum treatment. Enough gypsum was applied to give a total hardness of about 200 mg/L, and gypsum was reapplied as needed to maintain the hardness. Compared to the control, dry-till and dry-till with gypsum treatments had lower concentrations (P < 0.01) of total and soluble reactive P, total N, and total $NH_3$-N, and higher concentrations (P < 0.01) of dissolved oxygen. Ponds of the duty-till with gypsum treatment also had lower concentrations (P < 0.01) of chlorophyll $\alpha$, chemical oxygen demand, and total alkalinity than the control. Total fish production and survival rate did not differ (P > 0.05) among the treatments. These findings suggest that drying and tilling pond bosoms between crops and treating low hardness waters with gypsum could achieve water Quality improvement.

본 연구에서는 화학비료와 퇴비를 과다하게 투입하여 인산의 집적 및 유출 위험성이 높은 양파-벼 재배지와 시설재배지의 인산 집적 특성과 인산가수분해효소를 이용한 집적 인산의 수계에서의 생물이용가능성을 평가하였다. 수용성 인산 중 많은 부분의 유기태 인산이 주변 수계에 유출될 위험성이 높았지만 그동안 제대로 평가되지 못했다. 본 연구결과에서 alkaline phosphomonoesterase와 phosphodiesterase에 의해 이모작토양에서 DUP의 12, 24%가 시설재배지 토양에서 DUP의 18과 44%가 분해되는 것으로 나타났다. 토양에 축적된 유기태 인산중 orthophosphate monoester와 diester가 주로 인산분해효소에 의해 분해되어 농경지 주변 수계로 유출시 생물 이용 가능성이 큰 것으로 평가되었다. 따라서 수계에서 인산의 거동을 이해할 때 유기태 인산에 대한 충분한 고려가 필요할 것이다.

A indigenous freshwater bivalve Unio douglasiae was introduced to compare the differences in the efficacy of algal bloom control and the appearances of mussel-mediated adverse effects between two different reservoirs such as mesotrophic (Shingu r.) and hypertrophic (Seokmun r.). We constructed the study mesocosm in the shore of each reservoir, stocked the mussel at density of $30indiv./m^3$ for 7 days, and measured daily the phytoplankton density and water quality. In mesotrophic reservoir, even though approximately 38% of suspended solids and chlorophyll-a was reduced by stocked bivalves for the first 3 days, algal density, ammonia and soluble reactive phosphorus gradually increased with increasing mussel death. In hypertrophic reservoir, mussels strongly inhibited suspended solids and chlorophyll-a by the termination of study with no increase of mussel death and nutrient, especially ammonia concentration. In both reservoirs, a strong selectivity showed mussels preferred to diatom rather than cyanobacteria and green algae without algal density and nutrient level. Our results indicate that an introduction of freshwater bivalve U. douglasiae is more strategic to improve water quality of hypertrophic than mesotrophic reservoir, but many preliminary studies on the treatment method and the selection of target water system are required.
