We developed an ecosystem indicator (EI) for the coastal and offshore areas of Korean waters. One of the major scientific challenges of this undertaking was to translate broad policy statements for ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM) into practical terms. Fish reproduction potential (FRP) was defined as an EI to describe the reproductive probability of adult fisheries resources in Korean waters. The FRP was estimated as the ratio of adult fish composition to total catch, catches (in metric tons) by species and by ecosystem, and fishery effort (in horse power per metric ton). The FRP indices of the East/japan Sea Ecosystem (EJSE), Yellow Sea Ecosystem (YSE), and East China Sea Ecosystem (ECSE) began to decrease after the mid-1980s, and the current indices have decreased further, at 0.63 (EJSE), 1.22 (YSE), and 0.68 (ECSE) index points compared to the indices of 1975, when similar catch amounts were recorded. Lower FRPs in the Korean marine ecosystems were the result of higher proportion of immature fisheries resources in the total catch. Because this kind of ecosystem-level indicator is thought to reflect scientific approaches to EBFM and to provide an important tool for assessing the current status of marine ecosystems with respect to both quantity and quality, more EIs should be developed for Korean waters.

It is necessary to assess and manage the different elements of the marine ecosystem, such as climate change, habitat, primary and secondary production, energy flow, food web, potential yield, and fishing, to maintain the health of the ecosystem as well as support sustainable development of fishery. We set up an ecosystem model around the Korean peninsula to produce scientific predictions necessary for the assessment and management of marine ecosystems and presented the usability of the model with scenario experiments. We used the Atlantis ecosystem model based on the marine food web; Atlantis is a three-dimensional end-to-end model that includes the information and processes within an entire system, from an abiotic environment to human activity. We input the ecological and biological parameters, such as growth, mortality, spawning, recruitment, and migration, to the Atlantis model via functional groups using existing research and local measurements. During the simulation period (2018-2019), we confirmed that the model reproduced the observed data reasonably and reflected the actual ecosystem characteristics appropriately. We thus identified the usability of a marine ecosystem model with experiments on different environmental change scenarios.

In developing a useful tool to detect parasitic dynamics in an estuarine ecosystem, a denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) assay was optimized by cloning plasmid DNA from the grass shrimp Palaemonetes pugio, and its two parasites, the trematode Microphallus turgidus and bopyrid isopod Probopyrus pandalicola. The optimal separation condition was an oven temperature of $57.9^{\circ}C$ and 62-68% of buffer B gradient at a flow rate of 0.45 mL/min. A peptide nucleic acid blocking probe was designed to clamp the amplification of the host gene, which increased the amplification efficiency of genes with low copy numbers. Using the DHPLC assay with wild-type genomic, the assay could detect GC Gram positive bacteria and the bopyrid isopod (P. pandalicola). Therefore, the DHPLC assay is an effective tool for surveying parasitic dynamics in an estuarine ecosystem.

This study was carried out to elucidate the relation between water quality and structure of the aquatic ecosystem in the agriculture reservoir Otae-ji from January to December in 2009. The proportion of forest was 46.98%, which means that non-point sources are major contributor of water pollution in this area. The annual mean COD(Chemical Oxygen Demand) in Otae-ji was $3.6mgL^{-1}$, indicating, level II of environmental standards and the trophic state was mesotrophic. Although total phosporus concentration in the reservoir was high in August due to large inflow of nutrients from outside the reservoir during monsoon season, there was no break out of significant algal bloom in the summer. The seasonal succession of phytoplankton showed that the dinophyta dominated in the the spring, chlorophyta in the summer, chrysophyta and chlorophyta in the autumn and chrysophyta in the winter. In case of zooplankton, rotifers dominated in the most seasons, but cladoceran(Bosmina longirostris) dominated in June and copepod(Nauplii) in August. The macrophyte plants showed diverse species compositon consisted of 3 varieties, 24 species, 23 genera, 15 families and 14 orders. The macroinvertebrates also showed various FFG(Functional Feeding Groups) such as GC(Gathering-Collector), P(Predator), SH(Shedder), FC(Filter-Collector) and PP(Plant-Piercer). Ecosystem stability analysis using aquatic insects was classified as Group I, which has high resilience and resistance indices. A total of 14 species of fish was collected but exotic species such as Lepomis macrochirus and Micropterus salmoides were not found in Otae-ji. In conclusion, the preservation of healthy food wed in the reservoir ecosystem is closely related to water quality management as well as effective prevention of algal bloom by helping good material circulation in aquatic ecosystems.

본 연구는 낙동강 유역의 수생태계 건강성 조사지점에서 생물 및 서식환경, 수질에 대한 건강성을 조사 및 평가한 결과자료를 이용하여 공간정보로 재구축하고 공간분석기법을 활용하여 낙동강 유역의 수생태계 보전 및 복원 정책의 합리적인 의사결정을 지원하고 효율적인 관리방안을 제시하는데 목적이 있다. 낙동강 유역의 수생태계 건강성을 분석하기 위하여 250개 조사구간의 수생태계 건강성 조사 및 평가 결과자료를 각 지점별 위치정보를 기반으로 점형 자료로 구축하였다. 그리고 공간적인 분석기법의 적용을 위해 면형 자료로 재구축 할 필요성이 있으며, 이를 위해 Kriging 보간법(ArcGIS 10.1, Geostatistical Analysis)을 활용하여 공간적 영향력 및 트랜드를 분석하였고 면형 자료로 재구축 하였다. 이를 바탕으로 낙동강 유역 건강성의 공간분포 특성을 분석하기 위해 Hotspot(Getis-Ord Gi, $G^*_i$)과 LISA(Local Indicator of Spatial Association), 표준편차타원체(Standard deviational ellipse) 분석을 활용하였다. Hotspot 분석 결과 생물지수(TDI, BMI, FAI)의 Hotspot 유역은 안동댐 상류, 왕피천, 임하댐 유역으로 생물지수의 건강성 등급이 양호한 것으로 분석되었으며, Coldspot 유역은 낙동강 남해, 낙동강 하구, 수영강 등의 유역으로 나타났다. LISA 분석 결과 이례지역은 가화천, 합천댐 상류, 영강 상류 유역으로 분석되었으며 이 지역은 생물 건강성 지수가 높은 유역이지만 주변 유역의 건강성이 낮아 수생태계 건강성에 대한 관리가 필요한 유역으로 분석되었다. 이화학적 요인(BOD)의 Hotspot 유역은 낙동강하류 유역과 수영강, 회야강, 낙동강남해 유역으로 나타났으며, Coldspot 유역은 안동댐, 임하댐, 영강 등 낙동강 지류의 상류 유역으로 분석되었다. 서식 및 수변환경(HRI)요인의 Hotspot과 LISA 분석결과 요인별 Hotspot과 Coldspot이 다르게 분석되었으나 일반적으로 낙동강 상류, 안동댐, 임하댐, 합천댐 유역 등 낙동강 본류와 지류의 상류 유역 서식 및 수변환경 건강성이 좋은 것으로 분석되었다. 서식 및 수변환경 요인이 Coldspot으로 나타난 유역들은 생물지수와 이화학적 요인의 건강성 지수도 낮게 나타나 서식 및 수변환경의 관리가 필요한 유역으로 판단할 수 있다. 표준편차타원체로 분석한 시계열 분석결과 생물과 서식 및 수변환경에 의한 수생태계 건강성이 좋은 지역이 점점 북쪽으로 이동하는 경향을 나타내고 있으며 BOD 결과는 조사년도에 따라 방향과 집중도가 각각 다르게 나타나는 것으로 분석되었다. 이러한 수생태계 건강성 분석 결과는 조사지점별 건강성 관리정보뿐만 아니라 향후 공간정보 기술기반 수환경 연구와 실무연구진을 위한 집수구역 단위 수생태계를 관리할 수 있는 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The aim of this study was to conduct an ecosystem-based fishery risk assessment of tuna fisheries in the Western Indian Ocean. We selected gillnet, purse seine, hand line, baitboat, and longline fisheries as the target fisheries method, and selected longtail tuna (Thunnus tonggol), narrow-barred Spanish mackerel (Scomberomorus commerson), kawakawa (Euthynnus affinis), skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis), yellowfin tuna (T. albacares), bigeye tuna (T. obesus), albacore tuna (T. alalunga) and swordfish (Xiphias gladius) as the target species. The risk score for the size at the first capture in sustainability objective was high, especially, for the purse seine and baitboat fisheries using the fish aggregating devices (FADs). The risk score for the bycatch in the biodiversity objective was high for the gillnet fishery, and the gillnet fisheries using FADs showed high risks for the habitat quality objective due to the loss of the fishing gears. With regards to the socio-economic benefits objective, the risk score of the sales profits was low due to high sales of the tuna fisheries. The ecosystem risk score in the Western Indian Ocean was estimated to be moderate, although management is required for some of the indicators that have high-risk scores.

This note summarizes the application of zooplankton indices for water quality management and estimation based on main research topics of articles focusing on wetland ecosystems, topics that are remained poorly investigated in S. Korea. The aquatic ecosystem-based consists of indices that respond to different target environmental factors, including environmental disturbance. Among the major indicator species and biota, we reviewed that management strategy for the wetland environment has to be focused more on small-sizes, in terms of zooplankton ecology and indices. The ecology of zooplankton communities in freshwater ecosystem has been the focus of an increasing number of studies since 2019, and considerable progress has been made in understanding the major mechanisms involved in regulating their abundance, diversity and spatio-temporal patterns. Even though studies on the freshwater ecosystem in Korea have a long history, a few of studies on zooplankton biota were conducted at wetlands. We suggested the candidate zooplankton indices proposed by the U.S. EPA and EU to suit Korean conditions. In the step of selecting metrics, the best available metrics are species-related variables, such as composition and abundance, as well as richness and diversity. Overall, in spite of several limitations, the development of a plankton-based multivariate assessment method in Korea wetlands is possible using mostly field research data. Later, it could be improved based on qualitative metrics on zooplankton, and with the emergence of further survey data. The present information can be used as basic information for researchers who are dealing with aquatic environments and its interaction with organisms.
