  • 경상북도 구룡포 해역에서 하계 냉수 발생 특성과 어류 폐사를 유발하는 냉수대 강도를 파악하고자 2007년 8~11월 멍게양식장에 수온로거를 설치하여 수층별 수온을 측정하였으며, 2015년과 2016년은 국립수산과학원 실시간어장정보시스템의 표층수온 자료를 이용하였다. 동해 남부해역의 냉수대 발생 원리와 부합하게 남~남서풍이 강하게 불 때 용승으로 표층수온이 급격히 하강하였으며(2007년 8월 하순, 9월 20~22일, 2015년 7월 13~15일), 반대로 북~북동풍이 우세할 때 저층수온이 급상승하는(2007년 9월 5~7일, 9월 16~18일) 것으로 나타났다. 그 외에도 7~8월 구룡포 해역에 나타나는 약한 강도의 표층수온의 하강과 상승은 바람 방향과 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 구룡포 해역에서 최대풍속이 5 m/s 이상인 남~남서풍이 최소 이틀 이상 유지되면 표층수온이 약 $10^{\circ}C$ 이하로 하강하는 강한 냉수대가 발생하고 이로 인해 어류 폐사가 발생하는 것으로 파악되었다. 이를 바탕으로 포항기상대의 최대풍속과 최대풍속 풍향을 이용하여 냉수발생지수(Cold Water Index)를 정의하고 계산한 결과, $CWI_{2d}$(CWI 2일 평균)가 100 이상일 때 어류 폐사가 주로 발생하였으며, $CWI_{4d}$(CWI 4일 평균)는 7~8월 구룡포 표층수온과 높은 음의 상관성을 나타내었다($R^2=0.5$). 2007년 10월 30 m 수층의 수온 일변화($7{\sim}23^{\circ}C$)는 조석변화와 일치하는 주기와 스펙트럼을 보였으며, 이는 북한한류수 영향인 것으로 파악된다. 이와 같이 조석과 북한한류수로 인한 일변화가 어류 가 두리가 설치된 수심에도 영향을 미친다면 어업 피해로 이어질 수 있으므로 정밀한 조사가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

  • Fishery resources are still abundant compared with other resources and the possibility of exploitation is probably great. The Korean fishery industry has grown remarkably since 1957, and Korea is ranked as one of the major fishery countries. Its of fishery products reached the 9th in the world and the value of exports was 5th in 1982. But recently a growth rate has slowed down, due to the enlargement of territorial seas by the declaration of the 200 mile, Exclusive Economic Zone, the tendency to develop fishery resources strate-gically in international bargaining, the change in function of the international organizations, the expansion of regulated waters, the illegal arrest of our fishing boats, the rapid rise in oil prices, and the fall in fish prices, the development of fishery resources as a symbol of nationalism, the fishing boats decreptitude, the rise of crew wages, regulations on fishing methods, fish species, fishing season, size of fish, and mesh size, fishing quotas and the demand of excessive fishing royalties. Besides the the obligation of coastal countries, employing crews of their host countries is also an example of the change in the international environment which causes the aggravation of foreign profit of fishing firms. To ameliorate the situation, our Korean fishery firms must prepare efficient plans and study systematically to internationalize themselves because such existing methods as conventional fishing entry and licence fishing entry are likely to be unable to cope with international environmental change. Thus, after the systematic analysis of the problem, some new combined alternatives might be proposed. These are some of the new schemes to support this plan showing the orientation of our national policy: 1. Most of the coastal states, to cope with rapid international environmental change and to survive in the new era of ocean order, have rationalized their higher governmental structure concerning the fishery industries. And the coastal countries which are the objectives of our expecting entry, demand excessive economic and technical aid, limit the number of fishing boats’entry and the use of our foreign fishing bases, and regulate the membership of the international fishery commissions. Especially, most of the coastal or island countries are recently independent states, which are poorer in national budget, depend largely on fishing royalties and licence entry fees as their main resources of national finance. 2. Alternatives to our entry to deep sea fishing, as internationalization strategies, are by direct foreign investment method. About 30 firms have already invested approximately US $ 8 million in 9 coastal countries. Areas of investment comprise the southern part of the Atlantic Ocean, the Moroccan sea and five other sea areas. Trawling, tuna purse seining and five other fields are covered by the investment. Joint-venture is the most prominent method of this direct investment. If we consider the number of entry firms, the host countries, the number of seas available and the size of investment, this method of cooperation is perhaps insufficient so far. Our fishery firms suffer from a weakness in international competitive ability, an insufficiency of information, of short funds, incompetency in the market, the unfriendliness of host coastal countries, the incapability of partners in joint-ventures and the political instability of the host countries. To enlarge our foreign fishing grounds, we are to actively adopt the direct investment entry method and to diversity our collaboraboration with partner countries. Consequently, besides proper fishing, we might utilize forward integration strategies, including the processing fied. a. The enterprise emigration method is likely to be successful in Argentina. It includes the development of Argentinian fishing grounds which are still not exploited in spite of abundant resources. Besides, Arentina could also be developed as a base for the exploitation of the krill resources and for further entries into collaboration with other Latin American countries. b. The co-business contract fishing method works in American territorial seas where American fishermen sell their fishery products to our factory ships at sea. This method contributes greatly to obtaining more fishing quotas and in innovation bottom fishing operation. Therefore we may apply this method to other countres to diffuse our foreign fishing entry. c. The new fishing ground development method was begun in 1957 by tuna long-line experimental fishing in the Indian Ocean. It has five fields, trawling, skipjack pole fishing and shrimp trawling, and so on. Recently, Korean fisheries were successful in the development of the Antarctic Ocean krill and tuna purse seining. 3. The acceleration of the internationalization of deep sea fishing; a. Intense information exchange activities and commission participation are likely to be continues as our contributions to the international fishery organizations. We should try to enter international fishery commissions in which we are not so far participating. And we have to reform adequately to meet the changes of the function of the international commissions. With our partner countries, we ought to conclude bilateral fishery agreements, thus enlarging our collaboration. b. Our government should offer economic and technical aids to host countries to facilitate our firms’fishery entry and activities. c. To accelerate technical innovation, our fishery firms must invest greater amount in technical innovation, at the same time be more discriminatory in importing exogeneous fishery technologies. As for fishing methods; expanded use of multi-purpose fishing boats and introduction of automation should be encuraged to prevent seasonal fluctuations in fishery outputs. d. The government should increases financial and tax aid to Korean firms in order to elevate already weak financial structure of Korean fishery firms. e. Finally, the government ought to revise foreign exchange regulations being applied to deep sea fishery firms. Furthermore, dutes levied on foreign purchaed equipments and supplies used by our deep sea fishing boats thould be reduced or exempted. when the fish caught by Korean partner of joint-venture firms is sold at the home port, pusan, import duty should be exempted.

  • Surface water temperature of a bay (from the south to the north) increases in spring and summer, but decreases in autumn and winter. Due to shallow water depth, freshwater outflow, and weak current, the water temperature in the central to northern part of the bay is greatly affected by the land coast and air temperature, with large fluctuations. Water temperature variations are large in the north-east coast of the bay, but small in the south-west coast. The difference between water temperature and air temperature is greater in winter and in the south-central part of the bay than that in the north to the eastern coast of the bay where sea dykes are located. As the bay goes from south to north, the range of water temperature fluctuation and the phase show increases. When fresh water is released from the sea dike, the surrounding water temperature decreases and then rises, or rises and then falls. The first mode of empirical orthogonal function (EOF) represents seasonal variation of water temperature. The second mode represents the variability of water temperature gradient in east-west and north-south directions of the bay. In the first mode, the maximum and the minimum are shown in autumn and summer, respectively, consistent with seasonal distribution of surface water temperature variance. In the second mode, phases of the coast of Seosan~Boryeong and the east coast of Anmyeon Island are opposite to each other, bordering the center of the deep bay. Periodic fluctuation of the first mode time coefficient dominates in the one-day and half-day cycle. Its daily fluctuation pattern is similar to air temperature variation. Sea conditions and topographical characteristics excluding air temperature are factors contributing to the variation of the second mode time coefficient.

  • Background: Cliffs are a major plant habitat around the coastal area, but in contrast to sand dunes and salt marshes, they have been little investigated in Korea. There are simple descriptions of cliff vegetation in studies on island vegetation, but there is no published paper, which addressed sea cliff vegetation synthetically. Furthermore, the coastal area where this study was carried out was designated as a conservation reserve. Even though, this area is exposed to intense recreational use such as trekking in these days. This study aims to clarify spatial distribution and structure of vegetation along the environmental gradient on coastal cliff and plateau in the Janggi peninsula (Homigot) located on southeastern Korea. Further, this study has also another objective to prepare a restoration plan to protect this conservation reserve from intense human disturbance. Results: Landscape elements were arranged in the order of sea cliff risen directly on the sea, seashore, coastal cliff, and plateau covered with relatively deep soil in a coastal area of the Janggi peninsula (Homigot), southeastern Korea. Vegetation was sampled at 59 plots arranged from the sea cliff through the seashore and coastal cliff to plateau. The sea cliff, seashore, and coastal cliff, which compose the coastal landscape, were dominated by the seashore spatulate aster (Aster spathulifolius Maxim.) community, dwarf sand sedge (Carex pumila Thunb.) community, and seashore spatulate aster (Aster spathulifolius Maxim.) community. On the plateau corresponding to the ridge of the coastal cliff, black pine (Pinus thunbergii Parl.) community, golden rain tree (Koelreuteria paniculata Laxmann) community, east Asian hackberry (Celtis sinensis Pers.) community, sawleaf zelkova (Zelkova serrata Makino) community, and Korean oak (Quercus dentata Thunb.) community were established in the mentioned order along distance from the sea. Stand ordination showed a vegetation sequence from the seashore through the cliff to the plateau, consistent in its overall pattern among sites. This was dominated by topography. There is evidence for the importance also of salinity, drought and of soil depth. Conclusion: The lack of scientific interest in cliffs to date is in striking contrast to the commonness of cliffs around the whole national territory and to the attraction cliffs have had for humans throughout history. Cliffs provide a unique habitat, rarely investigated from an ecological viewpoint. Cliffs may represent an invaluable type of ecosystem, consisting of some of the least disturbed habitats on earth and contributing more to the biodiversity of a region than their surface coverage would indicate. Although this coastal area where this study was carried out was designated as a conservation reserve, this area is in danger of severe disturbance due to excessive recreational use. We recommended a restoration plan to protect this area from such a disturbance.

  • 본 연구에서는 황해역 파랑 특성을 파악하기 위해 KOGA-W01 파랑관측자료를 분석하고, 이를 바탕으로 파랑 후측모의 실험을 수행하였다. 파랑관측자료 분석에 따르면, 파랑관측지점이 연안역에 비교적 가까이 위치해 있음에도 불구하고 fetch length가 짧아 심해파 출현율이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이에 본 연구에서는 Chun and Ahn(2017a, b)의 계산영역을 황해역으로 확장하여 파랑계산을 수행하였는데, 황해역에서의 정확한 파랑계산을 위해 조석 및 조류의 효과도 함께 고려하였다. 계산결과를 관측결과와 비교하여 파랑 후측모의의 정확도를 검증하였다. 본 연구의 전반적인 계산 결과의 정확도는 만족할 수준이지만, 계산영역 크기 한계로 S계열의 너울성 장주기파를 제대로 재현하지 못해 황해역 유의파주기의 정확도가 낮게 나타났다. 그러나 이들 장주기파의 파랑에너지가 크지 않아, 극치 파랑분석에의 영향은 작아 극치파랑의 유의파주기는 잘 재현하고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

  • 동해 울릉분지에서 망간산화물과 철산화물의 유기물 분해 기여율을 정량화하기 위하여 6개의 박스형 시추퇴적물을 채집하였다. 수심이 2,000 m 이상인 울릉분지 표층퇴적물에서 유기탄소 함량은 2.6% 가량으로 육상기원 유기물 유입이 많은 흑해와 용승 해역인 칠레 주변해역들과 비슷했다. 울릉분지에 위치한 정점들에서 망간산화물 함량은 퇴적물 최상부에서 2% 이상으로 매우 높았고, 철산화물 함량은 울릉분지 표층 $1{\sim}4cm$ 내외에서 2% 가량의 최고값을 나타냈다. 그러나 대륙사면 정점들에서 망간산화물과 철산화물 함량은 분지처럼 높은 값을 보이지 않았다. 동해 울릉분지에서 2% 이상으로 높은 망간산화물 함량은 높은 유기탄소 함량과 사면보다 비교적 느린 퇴적속도 때문이거나 망간 이온이 저탁류를 통해 사면에서 분지로 이동한 것으로 예상된다. 망간산화물 환원율은 $0.3{\sim}0.57\;mmol\;m^{-2}\;day^{-1}$의 범위를 보였고, 철산화물 환원율은 $0.10{\sim}0.24\;mmol\;m^{-2}\;day^{-1}$의 범위를 나타냈다. 울릉분지에서 금속산화물은 유기물 분해에 $13{\sim}26%$ 정도를 차지하였으며, 이는 칠레 용승 해역과 유사하고, 덴마크 연안보다 낮은 값이다.

  • 남서태평양 열수해역의 화학적 환경특성을 이해하기 위하여 수온, 염분, 투명도, pH, 영양염 및 황화수소 등을 분석하였다. 시료는 마누스분지의 12개 정점에서 CTD를 이용하여 채취하였다. 열수작용은 해수 및 암석간의 순환작용에 의해 이들의 물리, 화학적 특성을 변화시키고, 주변의 해수와는 특성이 다른 열수가 plume을 형성하여 해양으로 공급된다. 본 연구에서는 남서태평양 PACMANUS 해역과 Susu Knolls 해역에서 투명도 및 황화수소를 이용하여 열수작용에 의한 plume을 확인하였다 특히, 열수환경을 지시하는 지화학적 추적자인 황화수소는 0${\sim}$3.31 ${\mu}$M 범위와 평균 0.63${\mu}$M을 보였다. 열수작용에 의한 plume의 높이, 분출량 및 활동도는 저층해류 순환 등의 영향을 받으며 수층의 등밀도면을 따라 주변 해수로 확산된다. 결과적으로 연구 해역에서의 황화수소 농도 이상치는 열수작용에 의한 영향으로 판단되고, 따라서 PACMANUS 해역의 남북방향에 가장 큰 공급원이 있을 것으로 보인다.

  • 동해 울릉분지에서 봄과 여름 동안 난수성 시계방향 와류가 영양염과 엽록소에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해서, 2005년 7월과 2006년 4월에 5개 정점에서 표층부터 수심 200 m까지 수온, 염분, 영양염, 엽록소 등을 관측하였다. 봄에는 와류 내부해역에서 표층 혼합층의 깊이가 150 m 이상으로 매우 깊은 반면, 외부해역에서는 $20{\sim}60$ m로 비교적 얕았다. 와류 내부해역에서 수직혼합이 활발히 일어나 표층해수에 영양염이 풍부한 반면, 외부해역에서는 표층에서 성층화가 생겨 심층에서 표층으로 영양염 공급이 충분하지 않아 농도가 낮았다. 봄에는 와류 내부해역에서 표층 혼합층 깊이가 유광층 깊이보다 훨씬 더 깊어서 엽록소 농도가 낮았으며, 와류 외부해역에서 측정한 총 엽록소(depth-integrated chlorophyll) 양은 내부해역에서 측정한 것보다 보다 두 배 이상 높았다. 여름에는 봄과 달리 모든 정점에서 표층 성층화가 강하게 발생하여, 영양염이 표층에서 완전히 고갈되었다. 여름에 관측한 엽록소는 모든 정점 수심 30 m 내외에서 최고 농도를 나타내어, 아표층 엽록소 최대(subsurface chlorophyll maximum)를 보였으며, 와류 내부해역에서 측정한 총 엽록소 양은 외부해역에서 측정한 것보다 두 배가량 높았다. 동해 울릉분지에서 거의 매해 나타나는 시계방향 와류는 식물플랑크톤 생물량에 매우 큰 영향을 미치는데, 그 영향이 봄과 여름에 다르게 나타났다; 봄에는 시계방향 와류가 식물플랑크톤 생물량을 제한하는 반면, 여름에는 반대로 식물플랑크톤 생물량을 증가시킨다.

  • Carbon cycling and productivity within Weno Island of Micronesia enclosed by the coral reef may be likely self-maintained and insignificantly affected by the open ocean. Therefore, it is important to understand the role of the mangrove known as providing the organic matter and habitats for many organisms in this enclosed area. In order to trace the nutritional source of fauna (mostly invertebrates) in the mangrove forest of Weno island, we analyzed the fatty acid (FA) and carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes of potential nutritional sources (mangrove leaf & pneumatophore, seagrass leaf & root, surface sediment, and particulate organic matter (POM) in water) and consumers (4 gastropods and anomura). The mangrove and seagrass contained the abundance of 18:2${\omega}$6, and 18:3${\omega}$3, whereas FAs associated with phytoplankton and bacteria were accounted for a high proportion in the surface sediment and POM. FA composition of consumers was found to be similar to those of the surface sediment, mangrove, and seagrass. These were also confirmed through the mixing model of stable isotope for contribution of nutritional sources to consumers. Overall results with the feeding types of investigated mangrove fauna indicate that investigated mangrove fauna obtained their nutrition from the various sources, i.e. the mangrove for Littorina cf. scabra, the microalgae for Strombus sp., and omnivorous Pagurus sp. and Terebralia cf. palustris. However, it is obvious that the nutrition of most species living in the mangrove ecosystem is highly dependent on the mangrove, either directly or indirectly. More detail food-web structure and function of the mangrove ecosystem would be established with the analysis of additional fauna and flora.
