This experimental study was aimed to estimate interfacial tension of brine-$CO_2$ by using a pendant bubble method and image analysis. Measurements were performed for wide ranges of temperatures, pressures, and salinities covering reservoir conditions in Pohang basin, a possible candidate for $CO_2$ storage operation in Korea. The profiles of $CO_2$ bubbles in brine obtained from image analysis with the densities of brine and $CO_2$ from previous studies were applied to Laplace-Young equation for calculating interfacial twnsion in brine-$CO_2$ system. The experimental results reveals that the interfacial tension is significantly affected by reservoir conditions such as pressure, temperature and water salinity. For conditions of constant temperature and water salinity, the interfacial tension decreases as pressure increases for low pressures (P < $P_c$), and approaches to a constant value for high pressures. For conditions of constant pressure and water salinity, the interfacial tension increases as temperature increases for T < $T_c$, with an asymptotic trend towards a constant value for high temperatures. For conditions of constant pressure and temperature, the interfacial tension increases with increasing water salinity. The trends in changes of interfacial tension can be explained by the effects of the reservoir conditions on the density difference of brine and $CO_2$, and the solubility of $CO_2$ in brine. The information on interfacial tensions obtained from this research can be applied in predicting the migration and distribution of injecting and residual fluids in brine-$CO_2$-rock systems in deep geological environments during geological $CO_2$ sequestrations.

Larvae of Metapenaeopsis dalei (Rathbun) were successfully spawned and reared in the laboratory under controlled conditions. The experiments were designed to examine effects of salinity (20, 25, 30 and 35), temperature (21, 24 and $27^{\circ}C$ ) and food (five items) on larval development, survival and growth, Salinity affected larval survival, from $\%$ at 20, to $60\%$ at 35 (protozoea 1 to first postlarva), The highest survival rate was obtained at $35\%_{\circ}$. Temperature affected larval survival, from $46\%$ at $27^{\circ}C$ to $54\%$ at $21^{\circ}C$(protozoea 1 to first postlarva). The highest survival rate was obtained at $24^{\circ}C$. Mortality was the highest from protozoea 1 to protozoea 3, but decreased considerably for all temperatures once the mysis stage was reached. Larval growth was affected by different of food items. Phytoplankton (Isochrysis galbana) was the optimum food for the larval survival and the growth from protozoea 3 to first postlarva.

To obtain the basic information on culture conditions for the larvae of Saxidomus purpuratus, experiments were conducted on the population from southern coast for (1) the success in fertilization and development from artificial fertilization among different months of a year, (2) the viability of sperms after exposure to seawater, (3) and the effects of temperature, salinity, and food organism on the survival and growth of larvae. Gametes obtained from dissection showed high rate of fertilization at all months. But the rate of development was higher only May-July. Developmental success seemed to be related with the quality of eggs at the time of fertilization. Developmental times for 2-cell, 4-cell, 8-cell, blastula, trochophore larva, and veliger larva at 20$^{\circ}C$ were 1.5, 2, 4, 18, 24, and 32 hr, respectively. Sperms could survive for more than 8 hr, however, actively swimming sperms could be found within 1 hr after exposure to seawater. It is recommended that sperms should be used for fertilization as soon as possible when they are exposed to seawater. At temperature of 35$^{\circ}C$, all the larvae died during 48 hr. Larval survival decreased when salinity was either lower than 20 psu or higher than 40 psu, and was 0% when salinity was 10 psu. Optimal range of temperature and salinity for rearing larvae of S. purpuratus were 20-25$^{\circ}C$ and 20-40 psu, respectively. Larvae grew from 111.5 to 235.3 ${\mu}$m during 21 days. Larvae fed mixed diets grew faster than unialgal diets. The fastest growth was observed when larvae were fed on the mixture of Isochrysis galbana and Nannochloris oculata.

This study was carried out to obtain the biological fundamental data for the resources annexation of Crassostrea ariakensis in terms of the effect of temperature and salinity on growth. Water temperature during the sampling period was $3.5\sim26.2^{\circ}C$ and there was a little difference between each sites. Salinity was ranged from 2.6 to 29.5 psu, its maximum in Baealdo and its minimum in Dontak. The fatness index was the higher in Dontak than the other sites. In August, the value was the lowest in 3 sites. Therefore Crassostrea ariakensis is likely to have spawning period June and July. Size values $(mean{\pm}S.D.)$ of shell height was $149.7{\pm}19.8\;mm$ (Baealdo), $148.6{\pm}21.3\;mm$ (Seomjin bridge) and $143.1{\pm}17.6\;mm$ (Dontak), respectively. Relative growth equations among SH, SL, SW, TW and MW of Crassostrea ariakensis were ranged from 0.024 to 0.0471.

This study investigated the productivity and growth of copepods, Sinocalanus tenellus 2 strains, Paracyclopina nana 3 strains, Apocyclops royi 2 strains, Tachidius triangularis 1 strain and Tigriopus sp. 1 strain at different temperatures $(24,\;28\;and\;32^{\circ}C)$ under 15 psu and various salinities (10, 20, 30 psu) at $28^{\circ}C$ for an individual culture. And the mass culture was carried out to evaluate the production of these copepods in the 500 mL vessel. For an individual culture of copepod, survival period of a brood female tended to increase with the decrease of temperature, but was not significantly influenced by salinity. With an increase of temperature and a decrease of salinity, maturation period of nauplii in all species tended to decrease. Total nauglii production from a broodo female at $24^{\circ}C$ was higoher than that from a brood .female at either 28 or $32^{\circ}C$ for S. tenellus and at $32^{\circ}C$ than either 24 or $32^{\circ}C$ for A. royi Haenam stram, but was not influenced by temperature for another copepods. And total nauplii production from a brood female at 10 and 20 psu tended to be higher than that from a brood female at 30 psu, expect for Tigriopus sp. and P. nana Hwajinpo strain. Total nauplii production from a brood female was the highest in Tigriopus sp. (350 nauplii) at $28^{\circ}C$ under 20 psu, followed by A. royi Haenam strain (187 nauplii) at $32^{\circ}C$ under 15 psu and P. nana Hwajinpo strain (152 nauplii) at $24^{\circ}C$ under 10 psu. In the mass culture of each copepod, P. nana was the most productive (26.6 mg dry weight) and this value was two and four times higher than productivity of Tigriopus sp. and A. royi, respectively.

The structure of the south Korean coastal front, their fluctuation, the properties and the probable effects of the front on the mackerel fishery are discussed based on the data of 26 cruises in 1967-1969 in the southern waters of Korea. In the south Korean coastal water the annual variations of the properties shows the greatest magnitude among the other water masses in the north of East China Sea. The salinity profile provides a fairly accurate description of the interface between the two kinds of water and agree with the temperature structure in winter. The temperature front does not always coincide with the salinity front in summer, while the former corresponds to the later in winter. The sharpest and most stable front between the Tsushima Warm Current and the south Koren coastal water was found in autumn and winter. In autumn 1969, the most successful catches of mackerel was recorded in the south Korean front of great borizontal gradients of properties(temperature 5.0$^{\circ}C$/10miles, salinity 1.2 /10miles) in the east of Cheju Is. If future investigation finds the peculiar oceanographical conditions like that shown in summer, 1969, the conditions of frontal layer in coming autumn will be estimated and finally the success of the mackerel fishery will be predictable from preseason information on temperature and salinity structure in the southern waters of Korea.

This study was conducted to investigate the influence of environmental factors such as water temperature, salinity, rearing density and feeding amount on the survival and development of larvae in surf clam, Tresus keenae. As a result of this study, the optimum conditions of larval rearing were as follows. The optimum range of water temperature is 20℃ to 24℃, the optimum salinity is 30 psu, the optimum rearing density is 5 ind./ml and the supply of mixed feed organism for larva rearing such as Isochrysis galbana, Chaetoceros simplex and Tetraselmis suecica is 10×10⁴ cells/ml. The results of this study suggest that the optimum conditions of environmental factors in larval rearing of Tresus keenae contribute to productivity improvement through rapid growth and high survival.

Effects of stress on the low salinity stress were examined in the pacific abalone Haliotis discus discus. Changes in survival rate, hemolymph count, antioxidant enzyme activities (catalase: CAT and superoxide dismutase: SOD), respiratory burst activity, phenoloxidase activity, lysozyme activity and expression of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) mRNA were measured 0, 3, 6, 12, 24 or 48hours after low salinity treatment with 25, 30, 33 and 35 psu. Survival rates of pacific abalone were 100% at 33 and 35 psu, but 93 and 97% at 25 and 30 psu for 48 hours, respectively. Hemolymph counts decreased in the time elapsed-dependent way at all of the experimental groups. At low salinity, 25 and 30 psu, SOD and CAT activity increased compared to the experimental group of 33 psu. Moreover, respiratory burst activities of the pacific abalone seemed to have no effect on low salinity stress at any experimental group. However, phenoloxidase activity is an important component of the defence against pathogen that was decreased in a reduction of salinity dependent way. Lysozyme activity also immediately reduced at 25 psu experimental group for 48 h. The HSP70 mRNA was weakly expressed at 33 psu, but strongly detectable at 25 psu experimental group. The HSP 70 mRNA expression in gill increased in the time elapsed-dependent way at 25 psu experimental group and then recovered at 48 h. These results suggest that low salinity stress give rise to inhibitory action of immune system as a result of the decrease of phenoloxidase and lysozyme activity in the pacific abalone, especially.

This study was carried out to estimate toxic effects of phenol on survival and metabolism of the abalone juvenile, Haliotis discus hannai. The experiment was conducted by renewal bioassay procedure with different salinities at $20^{\circ}C$. The $LC_{50}$ of the juvenile exposed to phenol in the range of 0.5 and $100mg/\ell\;was\;34.3\~6.5mg/\ell\;at\;2.4\%_{\circ}\;and\;52.2\~9.3m/\ell\;at\;32\%_{\circ}$ salinity with exposure time from 24 hours to 96 hours. $LT_{50}$ was remarkablely reduced with increase of phenol conentration and decrease of salinity. Lethal toxicity or phenol was higher at low salinity than at high salinity. Therefore, salinity is likely to be one of factor to increase phenol toxicity. The oxygen consumption of the juvenile was reduced with increase of phenol concentration and with decrease of salinity. In spite of phenol toxicity, the oxygen consumption of the juvenile exposed to phenol of low concentration was high and similar as compared with that of control group. Survival rates of the abalone kept in phenol-free sea water after exposure to phenol concentration of 5, 10 and $20mg/\ell$ for 96 hours were reduced with decrease of salinity. Durations required to recover the normal metabolic rate of the juvenile, which was exposed to phenol concentration of 5, 10 and $20mg/\ell$ for 96 hours, were made longer with increasing phenol concentration. In the case of the juvenile exposed to sublethal concentration of phenol for 15 days, it were elongated as compared with that of the abalone exposed to phenol concentration caused acute toxicity. The result of this experiment indicated that relatively low concentration of phenol can impact on the abalone juvenile in marine ecosystem.
