갯벌 패류양식장의 구조물 설치 및 지형적 공간배치에 따른 저서생물 현황을 파악하기 위해 고흥 남성리 양식장의 실제적인 사례를 조사하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. (1) 남성리 갯벌양식장의 지반 경사는 약 $1^{\circ}$ 미만으로 매우 평탄하며, 육지로부터 약 150 m까지는 $\sqcup$형, 그 후는 $\sqcap$형 지반형태를 가진다. $\sqcup$형 지반은 간출시 해수를 가두고 $\sqcap$형 지반은 외해 유출을 가로막을 뿐만 아니라 내부인자로서 해수 유출 시간을 지연시키는 작용/영향을 하게 될 것으로 생각된다. (2) 양식장 구분 시설물로 설치된 굴 패각 망태 또는 사석의 축제 형식은 총 5가지로 구분할 수 있으며, 양식장 대기 노출 시간과 침수시간은 각각 181분과 434분이었다. (3) 수치실험결과로서 대상해역의 내습 심해파랑은 최대파고 약 0.5m로서 매우 정온한 해역특성을 가지며, 탁월 입사파향은 나로대교 하단부는 S방향, 갯벌양식장 인근은 SE, SSW, S방향으로 조사되었다. (4) 고흥 남성리 주변 해역의 입도분석결과, 퇴적물은 Gravel 0.0~5.81(평균 1.70)%, 모래 14.15~18.39(평균 13.23)%, 실트 27.59~47.15(평균 30.84)%, 점토 35.79~55.73(평균 36.19)%로 구성되어 있으며, Folk 분류법에 의해 (g)M, sM(Sandy mud), gM(Gravelly mud)로 분류되었다. (5) 2010년 1월 남성리 패류 양식장 저서생물 현황조사에서는 총 11종이 1%이상의 우점종으로 출현하였으며 이 중 연체동물이 1종, 다모류가 8종, 갑각류가 2종이었다.

To obtain unrecorded bacterial species in Korea, various marine samples were collected from Jeollanam-do Province, Korea in 2021. After plating the samples on marine agar and marine R2A agar, and incubating aerobically and anaerobically, approximately 1200 bacterial strains were isolated and identified using 16S rRNA gene sequences. A total of 30 strains showed ≥98.7% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with validly published bacterial species but not reported in Korea, indicating that they are unrecorded bacterial species in Korea. The unrecorded bacterial strains belonged to 4 phyla, 7 classes, 13 orders, 19 families, and 22 genera, which were assigned to Azospirllium, Loktanella, and Pseudovibrio of the class Alphaproteobacteria; Grimontia, Halomonas, Marinobacter, Microbulbifer, Photobacterium, Pseudoalteromonas, Pseudidiomarina, Ferrimonas, Shewanella, Simiduia, Thalassotalea, and Vibrio of the class Gammaproteobacteria; Priestia and Enterococcus of the class Bacilli; Persicobacter of the class Cytophagia; Aureivirga of the class Flavobacteriia; Propionigenium and Psychrilyobacter of the class Fusobacteriia; and Tepidibacter of the class Clostridia. The details of the unreported species including Gram reaction, colony and cell morphology, biochemical characteristics, and phylogenetic position are also provided in the description of the strains.

A total of 30 bacterial strains were identified in the classes Betaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria in the study of prokaryotic species in Korea. These strains were isolated from a variety of environmental sources, including soil, tidal flat, mud, wetland, pine cone, seaweed, sea sediment, and brackish water. Phylogenetic analysis showed that isolates were identified based on high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities (≥98.7%) with the predefined bacterial type species. In this study, we present data on previously unreported species from Korea, including 10 species from three families of one order in the class Betaproteobacteria and 20 species from 12 families of nine order in the class Gammaproteobacteria. Morphological, biochemical characteristics, isolation sources, and NIBR deposit numbers are provided in the description sections.

During a comprehensive investigation of indigenous prokaryotic species in Korea, 20 and one bacterial strains assigned to the phyla Bacillota and Verrucomicrobiota, respectively, were isolated from diverse environmental habitats, including soil, mud, tidal flat, seawater, sand, sediment, brackish water, and healthy human urine. Based on their high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities (>98.7%) and the formation of robust phylogenetic clades with their closest related reported species, each strain was assigned to an independent and predefined bacterial species. Since there were no published or official reports regarding these 21 isolates in Korea, they - 20 species of four families in two orders of the phylum Bacillota and one species of the phylum Verrucomicrobiota - have been reported as unrecorded species in Korea. In addition, Gram staining, colony and cell morphology, basic biochemical characteristic, isolation source, and strain ID of each species are also described in the species description sections.

High-resolution (Chirp and Sparker system) seismic profiles were analyzed to investigate the sedimentary sequence and distribution pattern of the late Holocene deposits in Gyunggi Bay, the Yellow Sea. The bay is located in the western part of Korea, east of the Yellow Sea. The sedimentary sequence divided into three units bounded by erosional bounding surface: (1) acoustically parallel to subparallel reflectors with cross bedding structures (Unit 1); (2) confused inner reflectors and top of unit exposed partially at the seafloor (Unit 2); and (3) approximately parallel reflections and regressive to transgressive incision-fills (Unit 3). On the basis of seafloor morphology, surface bedforms, and subbotom acoustic characters, echo types in the study area were identified following the schemes of Chough et al. (2002); (1) flat seafloor with sharp bottom echoes (echo types 1-1, 1-2 and 1-3; transgressive sediment sheets or relict sands), (2) mounded seafloor with either smooth surface or superposed bedforms (echo types 2-1 and 2-2; tidal ridges), and (3) various-scale eroded seafloor (echo types 3-1 and 3-2; channels). Suspect features of acoustic turbid zones which is related to gas charged sediment are reported.

In order to investigate indigenous prokaryotic species diversity in Korea, various environmental samples from diverse ecosystems were examined. Isolated bacterial strains were identified based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, and those exhibiting at least 98.7% sequence similarity with known bacterial species, but not reported in Korea, were selected as unrecorded species. 28 unrecorded bacterial species belonging to the phylum Bacteroidetes were discovered from various habitats including wastewater, freshwater, freshwater sediment, wet land, reclaimed land, plant root, bird feces, seawater, sea sand, tidal flat sediment, a scallop, marine algae, and seaweed. The unrecorded species were assigned to 18 different genera in five families: Flavobacterium, Epilithonimonas, Dokdonia, Gillisia, Flavicella, Chryseobacterium, Algibacter, Aquimarina, Lacinutrix, Gaetbulibacter, Cellulophaga, Tenacibaculum, and Maribacter of Flavobacteriaceae, Dyadobacter of Cytophagaceae, Draconibacterium of Draconibacterium_f, Sunxiuqinia of Prolixibacteraceae, and Fulvivirga of Fulvivirga_f. The selected isolates were subjected to further taxonomic characterization including analysis of Gram reaction, cellular and colonial morphology, biochemical activities, and phylogenetic trees. Descriptive information of the 28 unrecorded species is provided.

We investigated the physio-chemical and geochemical parameters in the spraying shellfish aquacultures (Yeoja and Gangjin Bay) to establish the systematic strategy for effective environmental management. Spatial variation of each parameter showed partially significant difference (P<0.05) between Yeoja and Ganjin Bay, inferring the discriminative progress (i.e., accumulation and degradation) of the autochthonous organic matter within the aquaculture environments. We additionally integrated various properties (e.g., water/sediment quality, natural hazard, and biological health) which may affect the biological growth within the aquaculture habitats based on the biogeochemical cycles related to environmental components and aquaculture species. We used a screening approach (i.e., one out-all out; OOAO) which can permit the assessment of the health levels of aquaculture species, the scoring for other parameters (seawater, sediment, and natural hazard) as three levels (excellent, moderate and poor) depending on the complex interactive properties occurring in the aquaculture environments. Actual, discriminative scores obtained via our case studies may confirm that these stepwise processes are effectively evaluated for optimal health conditions within the aquaculture habitats. Thus, this approach may provide valuable insights for effective environmental management and sustainable growth of aquaculture operation.

본 연구는 초고해상도 무인항공기 자료를 활용하여 황도 갯벌의 미세 퇴적 구조를 분석하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 갯벌은 육지와 바다 사이의 전이 지역으로서 조석 활동에 의해 끊임없이 변화하며, 퇴적 과정과 환경 조건을 이해하는 데 중요한 독특한 환경을 제공한다. 기존의 현장 관측 방법은 공간적 및 시간적 범위에 한계가 있고, 기존 위성 영상은 미세한 퇴적 구조를 연구하기에 충분한 해상도를 제공하지 못한다. 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위해, 본 연구에서는 충청남도 황도 갯벌의 고해상도 이미지를 무인항공기를 이용해 촬영하였다. 황도 갯벌은 방조제 건설과 같은 해안 개발 프로젝트로 인해 퇴적 환경이 크게 변화한 지역이다. 2022년 5월 17일부터 18일까지 현장 관측을 통해 91개의 지점에서 퇴적물 샘플을 수집하였으며, 그중 25개의 주요 지점을 집중적으로 분석하였다. 약 0.9 mm의 공간 해상도를 가진 무인항공기 자료를 이용하여 미세 퇴적 구조의 파라미터(Parameter)를 식별하고 추출하였다. 건열에서는 다각형 장축의 길이를 추출하였고, 연흔에서는 파장과 연흔을 정량적으로 표현하는 대표적인 지표인 연흔 대칭 지수(Ripple Symmetry Index)를 추출하였다. 연구 결과, 니질 함량이 80% 이상인 지역에서는 평균 37.3 cm 간격의 건열이 형성되었으며, 사질 함량이 60% 이상인 지역에서는 평균 파장이 8 cm, 연흔 대칭 지수가 2.0인 연흔이 형성되었다. 본 연구는 초고해상도 무인항공기 자료를 활용하여 인간의 도보에 의한 현장 관측 없이도 갯벌의 미세 퇴적 구조를 효과적으로 분석할 수 있음을 입증하였다. 이는 환경 모니터링 및 해안 관리에서 중요한 도구로써 무인항공기 기술의 가능성을 강조하며, 무인항공기 자료가 퇴적 구조 연구에 유용하다는 것을 보여준다. 또한, 본 연구의 결과는 보다 정밀한 퇴적상 분류를 위한 기반 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
