Tidal flats develop along the south coast ofthe Korean peninsula. These areas are famous for sea farming. Specially, strong and coherent radar backscattering signals are observed over oyster sea farms that consist of artificial structures. Tide height in oyster farm is possible to measure by using interferometric phase and intensity of SAR data. It is assumed that the radar signals from oyster farm could be considered as double-bouncing returns by vertical and horizontal bars. But, detailed backscattering mechanism and polarimetric characteristics in oyster farm had not been well studied. We could not demonstrate whether the assumption is correct or not and exactly understand what the properties of back scattering were in oyster farm without full polarimetric data. The results of AIRSAR L-band POLSAR data, experiments in laboratory and JERS-l images are discussed. We carried out an experiment simulating a target structure using vector network analyser (Y.N.A.) in an anechoic chamber at Niigata University. Radar returns from vertical poles are stronger than those from horizontal poles by 10.5 dB. Single bounce components were as strong as double bounce components and more sensitive to antenna look direction. Double bounce components show quasi-linear relation with height of vertical poles. As black absorber replaced AI-plate in bottom surface, double bounce in vertical pole decreased. It is observed that not all oyster farms are characterized by double bounced scattering in AIRSAR data. The image intensity of the double bounce dominant oyster farm was investigated with respect to that of oyster farm dominated by single bounce in JERS-l SAR data. The image intensity model results in a correlation coefficient (R2 ) of 0.78 in double bounce dominant area while that of 0.54 in single bouncing dominant area. This shows that double bounce dominant area should be selected for water height measurement using In8AR technique.

Due to the oil spill incident in December 2007, every facility of oyster culture was removed in western coast especially in Taean and Seosan. To restore oyster resources in Taean and Seosan, we brought oyster seeds from southern area and monitored their growth. In addition we monitored the culture environment throughout the year, and observed the number of oyster larvae and attached spats on collectors during summer. The factors of water environment were appropriate for oyster culture in both study area. The growth of shell height was larger in Uihang-ri, Taean than Jungwang-ri, Seosan. Spawning was more intensive in a short time in Jungwang-ri, Seosan than Uihang-ri, Taean. The number of oyster larvae and spats of collectors were much more in Jungwang-ri, Seosan than Uihang-ri, Taean. This study showed that transplantation of healthy oyster seeds from southern area can be a way of restoration of oyster resources in western coast. In addition, systematic approaches are necessary by building a better understanding of regional characteristics to restore and enlarge the oyster culture farms in western coast. In summary Uihang-ri, Taean will be appropriate for cultivation farms and Jungwang-ri, Seosan for seedling grounds to increase oyster culture productivity.

Satellite radar interferometry data shows a strong coherent signal on oyster sea farms where artificial structures installed on the bottom. We obtained 21 highly coherent interferograms from eleven JERS-1 SAR data sets despite of large orbital baseline (~2 km) or large temporal baseline (~l year). The phases observed in sea farms are probably induced by double bouncing on sea surface, and consequently reveal a tide height variation. To restore the absolute sea level changes we counted the number of wrapping by exploiting the intensity of backscattering. Backscattering intensity is closely correlated with the change in water surface height, while interferometry gives the detailed variation within the limit of 2$\pi$ (or 15.3 cm). Comparing the radar measurements with the tide gauge records yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.96 and an ms error of 6.0 cm. The results demostrate that radar interferometry is promising to measure sea level.

연안의 굴 양식장은 레이더 영상에서 강한 산란체로 나타나며, 긴밀도 높은 레이더 간섭쌍을 제공한다. 굴 양식장에서 일어나는 강한 신호의 간섭위상과 반사강도를 이용하여 조위를 관측하는 방법이 개발된 바 있다. 레이더를 이용한 조위 측정방법은 이중 반사가 일어나는 굴 양식장에서 적용되어야 한다. 이 논문에서는 굴 양식장 구조물에서 일어나는 산란의 특징을 분석한다. 실내실험은 다중편파 Ku-밴드를 이용하여 전파암실에서 축소된 산란체를 제작하여 수행하였다. 산란체의 수직막대로부터 돌아오는 신호는 수평 막대로부터 돌아오는 신호보다 10.5 dB정도 강하게 나타났다. 단일 반사 성분은 이중 반사 성분과 유사한 정도로 큰 값을 나타냈으나 안테나의 관측방향에 매우 민감하였다. 또한 수직막대의 높이가 증가함에 따라 이중 반사 성분이 비례하여 증가하였고, 이중 반사 성분이 조위관측에 더 유용하게 이용될 수 있음을 확인하였다. L-밴드 AIRSAR 영상을 단일 반사와 이중 반사, 체적산란으로 분류하였다. 그 결과 굴 양식장에서는 항상 이중 반사만이 일어나고 있는 것은 아닌 것으로 나타났다. 해수면 위로 노출된 굴 양식장에서는 이중 반사가 우세하게 일어나지만, 조위가 낮아 바닥의 조간대 면이 공기 중에 노출되면 단일 반사 성분이 주요 산란 특징으로 나타났다. 전자의 경우 단일 반사와 이중 반사의 비율은 0.46인 반면, 바닥면이 노출된 경우에는 이 비율이 5.62로 급격히 증가하는 것을 알 수 있다. DInSAR 기술을 이용한 조위 관측을 위해서는 이중 반사가 우세하게 일어나는 지역을 선정하여야한다.

굴 양식장 및 주변해역에서 얻어진 SAR 자료의 반사강도 및 레이더 간섭위상에 대한 분석을 실시하였다. 진폭영상에서는 매우 강한 역산란 현상이 관측되었으며, 이는 수평막대에 의한 이차산란(double bounce) 신호에 의한 것으로 해석된다. 굴 양식장 구조물은 IKONOS와 같은 고해상도 광학영상 외에는 관측 할 수 없으며, 이는 레이더 영상의 활용이 매우 유용하다는 것을 잘 보여준다. 연구지역에서 나타나는 SAR 진폭영상 화소값은 조위와는 상관관계가 거의 없으며, 이보다는 파장, 편광, 관측방향에 더 민감한 것으로 나타났다. L-밴드 HH-편광 신호가 수평막대에 수직의 관측방향을 가질 때 가장 큰 반사강도를 나타낸다. 또한 JERS-1 SAR 영상을 이용하여 해수면에서 최초로 매우 높은 긴밀도를 유지하는 21개의 간섭도를 생성하였다. 이들 간섭도의 fringe 변화율은 일차적으로 altitude of ambiguity와 매우 밀접한 관계를 갖는다. 이를 역함수를 이용하여 최적화된 모델로 위상을 제거한 후 얻어진 잔여간섭위상은 조위 변화와 선형의 관계를 보이며, 이는 SAR를 이용한 조위차 관측의 가능성을 제시한다. 그러나 직선 회귀식의 최소제곱근 오차는 11.7 cm로 정밀도가 아직 실제 활용 가능한 정도는 아니며, 정밀도를 높이기 위해 앞으로 다중편광 SAR 자료를 이용한 추가적인 연구가 필요하다.

To produce cupped oyster sprat consistently, we investigated the efficiency of nine settlement substrates using selective breeding of Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas, with the goal of popularizing off-bottom culture on the west coast of Korea. We also compared the growth and survival of selectively bred sprat (diploid) with triploid sprat from an off-bottom culture system. Considering, the attachment rate and detachment efficiency, producing cupped oyster in a polypropylene gunny bag proved to be the most effective method. There were no differences in shell growth or total weight between the diploids from selective breeding and triploids from off-bottom culture for 5 months. However, the survival rate was 8 times higher in the diploids than the triploids. Transplanting sprat from selective breeding is one way to restore oyster farms and nurture off-bottom culture along the west coast.

Strong and coherent radar backscattering signals are observed over oyster sea farms that consist of artificial structures installed on the bottom. We successfully obtained 21 coherent interferograms from 11 JERS-1 SAR data sets even though orbital baselines (up to 2 km) or temporal baselines (up to 1 year) were relatively large. The coherent phases preserved in the sea farms are probably formed by double bouncing from sea surface and the sea farming structures, and consequently they are correlated with tide height (or instantaneous sea level). Phase unwrapping is required to restore the absolute sea level. We show that radar backscattering intensity is roughly correlated with the sea surface height, and utilize the fact to determine the wrapping counts. While the SAR image intensity gives a rough range of absolute sea level, the interferometric phases provide the detailed relative height variations within a limit of $2{\pi}$ (or 15.3 cm) with respect to the sea level at the moment of the master data acquisition. A combined estimation results in an instantaneous sea level. The radar measurements were verified using tide gauge records, and the results yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.96 with an r.m.s. error of 6.0 cm. The results demonstrate that radar interferometry is a promising approach to sea level measurement in the near coastal regions.

For the continuous stable production of oyster, estimation of food availability (F) was carried out in Goseong Bay, south of coast Korea. Primary productivity ranged from 0.07 to $0.44gC/m^2/day$ (average $0.25gC/m^2/day$), lowest in July and highest in January. The distribution of primary productivity at Goseong Bay showed the pattern of "high in the south and low in the north." Food availability (F) was $F{\leq}0$, indicating insufficient food supply, from August to November and F > 0 from January to April. Continuous insufficient food supply was observed at 18 oyster farms in the southern part of the bay and 4 in its northern part. Mortality at the oyster farms was 56% on the average, and around 58% of death occurred during November when food supply was insufficient. The optimal population of cultured oyster per unit flow area was calculated to be $110-115indiv./m^2$ (198-201 indiv./string). When the sea area was divided into 3 regions (A, B, C) according to carrying capacity, the carrying capacity of (A) regions was $52-53indiv./m^2$ (93-95 indiv./string), (B) regions was $142-144indiv./m^2$ (255-259 indiv./string), and (C) regions was $198-202indiv./m^2$ (356-363 indiv./string). In particular, (A) regions showed extremely low productivity. For continuous stable oyster farming at Goseong Bay, it is necessary to control point and non-point source pollution through continuous environmental monitoring and to adjust harvest according to the base carrying capacity during the season of high water temperature.

The Korean aquaculture industry was generally began in the 1970s and has gradually increased. Now, the number of households is about 7,068 and the scale of an aquaculture farm is about 248,014 ha; the value of all production in the industry is estimated to be about 1602.2 billion won. The aquaculture industry is very valuable and important for future food resources. However, the aquaculture industry was damaged by several marine ecological disturbance causing organisms. The Ascdiella aspersa colonized on the shell of scallop and then scallops were detached from rope. The patterns of damage in the aquacultures were observed in Tongyeong (oyster), Geojedo (oyster), and Gangneung (sea squirt) in June, 2017, as well as in Tongyeong (oyster) in November, 2017 by SCUBA divers. The species Halichondria bowerbanki, Bugula neritina, Mytilus galloprovincialis, Balanus amphitrite, Ascidiella aspersa, Ciona intestinalis, Didemnum sp, Styela plicata in Tongyeong, M. galloprovincialis, A. aspersa, C. intestinalis, D. vexillum, S. plicata in Geojedo, and M. galloprovincialis in Gangneung were all usually found in their farms. The marine ecological disturbance causing organisms gave rise to a reduced number of aquaculture products.

The triploid Pacific oyster, which is produced by mating tetraploid and diploid oysters, is favored by the aquaculture industry because of its better flavor and firmer texture, particularly during the summer. However, tetraploid oyster production is not feasible in all oysters; the development of tetraploid oysters is ongoing in some oyster species. Thus, a method for ploidy verification is necessary for this endeavor, in addition to ploidy verification in aquaculture farms and in the natural environment. In this study, a method for ploidy verification of triploid and diploid oysters was developed using multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) panels containing primers for molecular microsatellite markers. Two microsatellite multiplex PCR panels consisting of three markers each were developed using previously developed microsatellite markers that were optimized for performance. Both panels were able to verify the ploidy levels of 30 triploid oysters with 100% accuracy, illustrating the utility of microsatellite markers as a tool for verifying the ploidy of individual oysters.
