Various marine plankton were observed in the ballast water of vessels entering Incheon and Busan harbors. The ballast water of which age ranged from 2 to 54 days originated from the coastal waters of New Zealand, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong and Pakistan, and from the Pacific Ocean. The total number of marine plankton taxa in 9 ballast tanks of different ships was 170: 90 phytoplankton, 24 protozoa and 56 zooplankton. The most diverse taxonomic groups were diatoms in phytoplankton, ciliates in protozoa and copepods in zooplankton. Classifying the specimens by size, above 50% of the number species of phytoplankton belonged to the size range between 50 and 150 Un. Protozoa and metazooplankton were found frequently in the size range between 50 and $120{\mu}m$ and 500 and $1,000{\mu}m$, respectively. The relationship between the species number and the age of ballast water was not significant. This is because of difference of filtration amounts derived from discordance of collecting samples. Among plankton observed in ballast water, some harmful algae and non-indigenous aquatic species were identified. Therefore, we need to investigate whether these species can inhabit in Korean coastal waters in further study.

영산강 하구에서 담수 유입이 부유생태와 수질에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 국가해양환경측정망 장기자료(1999~2008년)인 클로로필 a와 수질 항목들에 대한 계절적, 공간적 변화와 장기변동 추세를 분석하였다. 분석결과, 여름철 (8월) 영산강 방조제 인접정점의 염분은 조사기간 중 가장 낮은 분포를 보였고, 영양염류와 클로로필 a는 전반적으로 높은 분포를 나타냈다. 영산강 담수유입의 지시인자인 표-저층의 염분차 (${\Delta}salinity$)와 영양염류, 클로로필 a는 유의한 양의 상관성을 나타냈으나, 지난 10년동안 담수 방류량은 감소하는 추세를 보였고, 영양염류, 클로로필 a는 전반적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타냈다. 이러한 결과는 영산강 하구 해역 영양염의 공급원이 담수유입뿐만 아니라 인근 지역의 발달에 따른 점오염원 증가 등의 추가적인 요인이 존재할 가능성을 제시한다. 따라서 영산강 하구 주변 해역의 부영양화 방지를 위해서는 영산강 방조제의 방류와 연관한 수질개선방안 마련과 더불어 인근 지역의 점 오염원 파악 및 관리가 병행되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Recently, there has been a growing interest in physical-biological ocean-modeling systems by communities in the fields of science and business. In this paper, we present preliminary results from a coupled physical-biological model for the Northwestern Pacific marginal seas. The ocean circulation component is an implementation of the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS), and the lower trophic level ecosystem component is a Nutrient-Phytoplankton-Zooplankton-Detritus (NPZD) model. The ROMS-NPZD coupled system, with a 25 km resolution, is forced by climatological atmospheric data and predicts the physical variables and concentrations of nitrate, phytoplankton, zooplankton, and detritus. Model results are compared with remote-sensed sea surface temperature and chlorophyll, and with climatological sea surface salinity and nitrate. Our model adequately reproduces the observed spatial distribution and seasonal variability of nitrate and chlorophyll concentrations as well as physical variables, showing a high correlation in the East Sea (ES) and Kuroshio/Oyashio Extension (KOE) region but relatively low correlation in the Yellow Sea (YS) and East China Sea (ECS). Although some deficiencies were found in the biological components, such as the over/underestimation of the intensity of phytoplankton blooms in the ES and KOE/the YS and ECS, our system demonstrates the capability of the model to capture and record dominant seasonal variability in physical-biological processes and this holds out the promise of coming to a better understanding of such processes and making better predictions .

Temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, COD, dissolved inorganic nitrogen(DIN), dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP), and chlorophyll were measured in the surface and bottom waters of Cheonsu Bay in April, August, December 2003, and Hay 2004. DIN showed a large seasonal variation, with higher values in summer and lower in spring. The significant decrease in DIN concentration was observed from April to May, which may imply the occurrence of spring phytoplankton bloom sometime in these periods. In contrast, DIP did not show distinct seasonal variation, with relatively low values compared with other coastal regions. The low DIP concentration in Cheonsu Bay is ascribed to a limited phosphorus input around Cheonsu Bay. The Nf ratios of Cheonsu Bay much higher than the Redfield ratio(16) in all season indicate that phytoplankton growth is limited by phosphorus. Based on low chlorophyll concentrations and eutrophication index, Cheonsu Bay has not been in eutrophic condition during our observation periods. In the artificial lakes located around Cheonsu Bay, however, chlorophyll concentrations were very high, mostly over $10{\mu}g\;l^{-1}$, indicating that they are now in severe eutrophic condition.

남해 서부 연안역의 식물플랑크톤 군집 및 환경요인의 계절별 변화를 관찰하고자 2009년 4월부터 2010년 2월까지 계절별 조사를 수행하였다. 환경요인의 변화는 multidimensional scaling (MDS)에 따라 수괴의 변화를 분석하였을 때, 남해 연안역 수괴 (SW; South-western coastal Water mass) 및 남쪽에서 유입되는 고염의 외양 수괴(TW; Tsushima current Water mass), 서쪽 제주해협을 통해 유입되는 저염의 서해 연안수괴 (YW; Yellow sea Water mass), 그리고 해안의 하천으로부터 계절적으로 유입되는 담수(CW; Closed bay Water mass)가 영향을 미치고 있었다. 이들 수괴는 해양 환경의 시 (계절) 공간적 특성에 따라 발달과 확장 및 축소되고 있었다. 즉, 연안에서 외해역 또는 외해역에서 연안 방향(남-북 방향) 그리고 서쪽(진도 주변 해역)에서 동쪽 방향 (동서 방향)의 농도 경사를 보인다. 이러한 남-북 방향의 공간 변동은 연안에서 하천과 지하수로 유입되는 연안 담수(낮은 염분과 높은 영양염 농도)와 대마 해류(고염분과 저영양염) 사이의 혼합에 의한 것이며, 동-서방향의 공간 변동은 제주해협을 통해 남해 연안으로 유입되는 서해의 연안수(저염분과 고영양염)와 대마 해류 사이의 혼합에 의해 조절되고 있는 것으로 해석된다. 식물플랑크톤은 고영양염을 보인 서해 연안수 및 여자만, 득량만에서 높은 개체수를 보였다. 식물플랑크톤 군집별 특성은 규조류가 90% 이상 높은 비율을 차지하였으나 대마 해류 수괴에서 와편모조류가 상대적으로 높아 수괴 특성에 따른 분류군의 차이를 보여 수괴가 갖는 기원적 특성 (original characteristics)의 차이를 보였다.

An investigation was conducted to determine limiting nutrients in the bay systems of the southern coastal area of Korea. The elemental composition of C, N, and P in suspended particulate matter was monitored nearly monthly in Chinhae and Koje Bays and seasonally in Deukryang Bay for 2 years. Atomic C:N ratio in particulate matter ranges from 4.3 to 9.6, typical of marine phytoplankton. C:P and N:P ratios vary from the Redfield ratio to 229 (C:P) and 37 (N:P). A constant C:N ratio of 6.87 from regression of particulate C and N concentrations demonstrates that the particulate matter in the systems originates from primary production. C:P and N:P ratios from regression of C on P and N on P are well associated with changes in salinity. The low N:P ratio of 13.1 implies N limitation in the environments of the systems. This seems to result from the low N:P ratio of nutrients released across sediment-water interface. Phytoplankton response, expressed here as the increase of chlorophyll a, to N addition also verifies N limitation for phytoplankton communities. In heavy rainfall season (from June to September), the addition of excessive N via streams into the stratified coastal water proliferates phytoplankton greatly. During the phytoplankton blooms, C:P and N:P ratios are much higher than the Redfield ratio, implying P limitation. This results from the high N:P ratio in nutrients supplied from stream waters. Strong stratification during the blooms also interrupts the supply of nutrients, particularly p, from bottom waters. Dependent upon precipitation, this tendency shows great inter-annual variation.

To elucidate the trophic role of heterotrophic nano- and microplankton (HNMP), we investigated their biomass, community structure, and herbivory in three different water masses, namely, south of Polar Front (SPF), Polar Front Zone (PFZ), the Sub-Antarcitc Front (SAF) in the Drake Passage in the Southern Ocean, during the austral summer in 2002. We observed a spatial difference in the relative importance of the dominant HNMP community in these water masses. Ciliates accounted for 34.7% of the total biomass on an average in the SPF where the concentration of chlorophyll-a was low with the dominance of pico- and nanophytoplankton. Moreover, the importance of ciliates declined from the SPF to the SAF. In contrast, heterotrophic dinoflagellates (HDFs) were the most dominant grazers in the PFZ where the concentration of chlorophyll-a was high with the dominance of net phytoplankton. HNMP biomass ranged from 321.9 to 751.4 $mgCm^{-2}$ and was highest in the PFZ and lowest in the SPF. This result implies that the spatial dynamic of HNMP biomass and community was significantly influenced by the composition and concentration of phytoplankton as a food source. On an average, 75.6%, 94.5%, and 78.9% of the phytoplankton production were consumed by HNMP in the SPF, PFZ, and SAF, respectively. The proportion of phytoplankton grazed by HNMP was largely determined by the composition and biomass of HNMP, as well as the composition of phytoplankton. However, the herbivory of HNMP was one of the most important loss processes affecting the biomass and composition of phytoplankton particularly in the PFZ. Our results suggest that the bulk of the photosynthetically fixed carbon was likely reprocessed by HNMP rather than contributing to the vertical flux in Drake Passage during the austral summer in 2002.

The data of temperature, chlorophyll a, phytoplankton and NOAA/AVHRR satellite data were analyzed about 7 stations around Wando Island area on August 30, 2005. The sea water temperature range was from $15.19^{\circ}C$ to $24.97^{\circ}C$, and there was a cold water mass from the station 1 to 5 around the outside of Chungsando Island, the water temperature was lower at the bottom than surface. The salinity was $32.41{\sim}34.03$, DO was $7.40{\sim}9.14mg/L$, but the concentration of chlorophyll a was 1ug/L higher at the bottom than surface. Total phytoplankton appeared from the whole stations were 47 genus, 80 species and diatoms were dominant. A lot of dinoflagellates Ceratium forca and diatoms Thalassithrix spp. mostly appeared in the cold water mass were turned up from the station 1 to 5. 4 groups of phytoplankton clusters were shown in the surface, and 3 groups of phytoplankton clusters were shown at the bottom according to the water temperature. On the ground of the result analyzed with NOAA/AVHRR satellite data, the SST around Wando Island was $22{\sim}25^{\circ}C$, it was formed by thermohaline front latitudinally
