고정밀 탄성파자료, 퇴적물시료, 조류를 분석하여 한국서해안 대조차 지역인 남해 포만에서의 퇴적 양상을 조사하였다. 만에서의 현생퇴적층의 두께는 약 20 m 에 달하 며 불규칙적인 음향기반암을 덮고 있다. 퇴적물은 주로 사질 실트나 실트로 구성되어 있으며, 평균입도는 4-5.5 phi의 범위이고 해안선을 향하면서 세립화하는 경향을 보인 다. 이러한 분포양상은 만에서의 조류의 운동방향과 잘 일치한다. 해저면에서의 조류 의 전단속도는 창조시 0.5-3.3 cm/sec 낙조시 0.7-2.5 cm/sec 의 범위를 보이며, 이러 한 전단속도들의 평균값은 만내에 분포하는 실트입자를 재동하거나 운반할 수 있는 임 계전단속도 값을 능가한다. 이러한 자료들은 조류가 만내에 분포하는 퇴적물 입자들의 이동과 퇴적에 중요한 역할을 하며, 해저면의 표층지형은 주로 조석퇴적작용에 의하여 결정되었음을 시사해 준다.

태안반도 외해역에서 고해상용 천부지층 기록지상에 나타나는 조류성사퇴들 및 sand waves 발달 특징과 표층 퇴적물의 특성 결과를 조류 분포와 관련하여 사질 퇴적 물의 이동양상을 추정하였다. 조사해역에는 비대칭형 사퇴들이 북동-남서방향이 우세 한 강한 조류방향과 평행하거나 반시계방향으로 약간 빗겨지면서 길게 발달하고 있으 며 대부분의 사퇴들은 남 내지 남동쪽으로 급사면을 가지며 대략 남쪽방향으로 사층리 구조가 발달하고 있는 특징을 가진다. 현세 퇴적층은 사퇴들의 퇴적층 두께와 발달 양 상을 보여주며 분포한다. 이 결과로부터 현세 활동성사퇴들은 남동, 남 그리고 남서쪽 방향의 외해를 향해 퇴적물을 전적으로 이동시키는 것으로 해석된다. 동쪽 내지 북동 쪽의 급사면을 갖는 비대칭형 sand waves 가 수심 약 40-60 m를 보이는 일부 지역의 평탄한 해저면에 발달 분포한다. Sand waves 가 발달한 지역의 표층 퇴적물은 세립사 질 퇴적물로서 분급도가 매우 양호하게 나타나며 이들 지역의 사질 퇴적물은 동쪽 내 지 북동쪽 육지를 향해 이동되는 것으로 사료된다.

Organic matter and trace metals were investigated in surface sediments of Gomso Bay, where there is dense Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum farming activity, to evaluate contamination of sediments in intertidal shellfish farming area. We measured mean grain size (Mz), chemical oxygen demand (COD), ignition loss (IL), acid volatile sulfide (AVS), total organic carbon (TOC), and total nitrogen (TN), and trace metals (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Pb and Zn) in intertidal and sublittoral sediments. The intertidal sediments were mainly composed of coarser sediments (sand, silty sand, and sandy silt), with Mz values ranging from 2.61 to 4.79 Ø. Mz and the content of organic matter in sediments were lower in the intertidal zone than in the sublittoral zone. The mean metal concentrations in surface sediments decreased in the order Fe > Mn > Zn > Cr > Pb > Cu > As > Cd > Hg. The metal concentrations in surface sediments showed a significant positive correlation with Mz and organic matter content, indicating that metal concentrations in the surface sediments of Gomso Bay are controlled by Mz and organic matter. The concentrations of organic matter and trace metals in the study region were lower than or similar to those in other intertidal zones in western coast and much lower than those reported in other shellfish farming areas in Korea. Our results suggest that intertidal Manila clam farming sediments from Gomso Bay are not contaminated by organic matter and trace metals.

Large quantitive of polllutants are washed into reservoirs during storm events. These polllutants contribute to eutrophication, such as algal blooms and fish kills. This study was conducted for the purpose of assessing the pollutant removal possibilities of sedimentation pool formed by deep dredging of a reservoir inlet. Water quality data were collected in the Masan reservoir, whose inlet has been dredged deep like sedimentation pool. The average concentration of chemical oxygen demand(COD) , toatal nitrogen(T-N) and total phosphrous(T-P) in the deep dredged area were 8.7 ~20.5mg/ι (T-N), 0.17~0.84mg/ι(T-P), which were 4.9%(COD), 29.0%(T-N) and 44.8%(T-P) higher than those of middle part of the reservior. The texture of sediment in the dredged area was silty loam, while that of the middle part was sandy clay loam. Organic matter contents, T-N and T-P of the bottom soil in the dredge area showed higher values than the middle part of the reservoirs. From these results, it was considered thedeep dredged area in the inlet of reservoir might play a key role to settle pollutant particulate. Based on the result of water quality analysis, deep dredging of the reservoir inlet could be assessed to reduce T-N and T-P of the reservoir about 6.5% , 8.3%, respectively. However, the effect of the sedimentation pool would be raised if the settled particles were taken into account in assessing water quality improvement for the reservoir. Accordingly, dredging of a reservoir inlet to make a shape of sedimentation pool is recommended for water quality improvement of reservoir in the stage of dredging plan.

The mud shrimp Upogebia major (Upogebiidae: Decapoda: Crustacea) is a common species on muddy and sandy mud tidal flats in the west coast of Korea. They reside in Y-shaped burrows that can extend up to more than 2 meters below the sediment surface. They feed on suspended detritus carried into their burrow by the beating of their pleopods and captured by their hairy first two pairs of thoracic legs. Mud shrimp burrows provide a habitat for a variety of small organisms such as crabs, shrimps, polychaetes, and mollusks. Ovigerous females are observed from December to May. Females deposit eggs only once per breeding season. They start hatching in March and the pelagic larvae of first zoea appear in March and April, followed by benthic settlement in May. Growth over the first year is rapid, and females deposit their first eggs in the third breeding season, 31 months after their settlement. Adult shrimps live for 4~5 years. Depth of the burrow increases with body length. The deep burrows provide refuge from predators and physical stress, allowing the shrimps to survive for a long time. The mud shrimps supply oxygen-rich water to their deep burrows, and exert a great influence on the structure and metabolism of the tidal flat benthic community. However, recently this type of mud shrimp has posed a serious threat to the Korean clam industry along the west coast of Korea. The extensive burrowing shrimp populations suddenly invaded the tidal flats from 2010 where the clams (Ruditapes philippinarum) are raised. As a consequence, clam production has decreased by about 10% over the past three years in some Korean clam beds. Therefore, the objective of this study is to review the biology of this mud shrimp in order to seek solutions to control the burrowing of these shrimps.

The marine sand-dwelling dinoflagellate Polykrikos lebourae possesses obvious gold-brown pigmented plastids as well as taeniocyst-nematocyst complex structures. Despite of the presence of the visible plastids, previous attempts to establish this species in culture all failed and thus the unavailability of cultures of this species has posed a major obstacle to further detailed exploration of ecophysiology of the dinoflagellate. Here, we isolated P. lebourae from sandy sediment of an intertidal flat on Korean western coast, successfully established it in culture, and have been maintaining the stock culture over the past 3 years. Using this stock culture, we explored phagotrophy and potential prey resources of P. lebourae, growth and grazing responses of P. lebourae to different prey organisms, the effect of prey concentration on growth and grazing rates and gross growth efficiency (GGE) of P. lebourae when fed three different prey organisms, and the growth kinetics of P. lebourae under different light regimes. P. lebourae captured prey cells using a tow filament and then phagocytized them through the posterior end. The dinoflagellate was capable of ingesting a broad range of prey species varying in size, but not all prey species tested in this study supported its sustained growth. GGE of P. lebourae was extremely high at low prey concentration and moderate or low at high prey concentrations, indicating that P. lebourae grows heterotrophically at high prey concentrations but its growth seems to be more dependent on a certain growth factor or photosynthesis of plastids derived from the prey. In the presence of prey in excess, P. lebourae grew well at moderate light intensity of $40{\mu}mol$ photons $m^{-2}s^{-1}$, but did not grow at dim and high (10 or $120{\mu}mol$ photons $m^{-2}s^{-1}$) light intensities. Our results suggest that the benthic dinoflagellate P. lebourae is an obligate mixotroph, requiring both prey and light for sustained growth and survival.

수층과 사질 퇴적층이 이루는 경계면이 평탄할지라도 고주파수 (30∼120 ㎑) 음파의 반사손실은 퇴적물의 입도와 입사파의 파장에 따라 거친 경계면에서의 반사 효과를 갖게 된다. 경계면 거칠기 영향은 음향학적 거칠기 (acoustical roughness, g/sub R/)로 표현하며 사질 퇴적물의 경우 g/sub R/∼ O(1)이고 주파수에 따른 종속성을 가진다. 따라서 입도분포에 따른 반사손실의 편차 (deviation)와 주파수에 따른 종속성을 포함하는 개선된 해저면 반사손실 모델 (HYBRL 모델, Hanyang University Bottom Reflection Loss model)을 제안한다. 그리고 주파수 종속성과 해저면 물성이 갖는 편차를 포함하는 반사손실 모델을 검증하기 위해 수조실험과 해상실험을 실시하였다. 수조실험 및 해상실험에서 측정된 해저면 반사손실 결과 사질 퇴적물에서 모델의 특성을 잘 반영한다.

한국 동해 대륙붕 표층 퇴적물은 대부분 육성기원 쇄설성 퇴적물로 이루어져있으며, 이 퇴적물은 홀로세 해수면 변동의 영향을 잘 나타내고 있다. 퇴적물은 연안이나 내대륙붕에서는 이질사 혹은 사닐니로 이루어져 있고 혹은 자갈들이 나타나는 경우도 있으며, 외해로 갈수록 세립화하는 경향을 보여 외대륙붕에는 대부분이 세립의 이질 퇴적물로 이루어져 있다. 그러나 수심 약 130-150m의 붕단 부근에서는 사질, 니질사, 역니질사 등의 조립 퇴적물이 나타나며 이들은 소위 위스콘신 빙하기의 해수면이 낮았을 때 수심이 얕은 연안환경에서 퇴적된 잔류퇴적물로 생각된다. 연구해역 대륙붕에서의 현생 퇴적물 분포는 파도나 해류 등에 의하여 연안이나 수십이 얕은 곳에는 세립퇴적물이 쌓이지 못한 것으로 생각되며, 특히 대마해류에서 분리된 동한난류는 남해로부터 동해 대륙붕으로 세립퇴적물을 운반하고 분포시키는 데 큰 영향을 미칠 것으로 추정된다.

Many researchers have investigated most representative sequential extraction method using various reagents for determining the chemical forms of metals in soils and sediments. In this paper, a newly modified method for sequential extraction scheme based on Tessier's method by Environmental Geochemistry Research, Centre for Environmental Technology, Imperial College, was introduced and examined. In comparison with Tessier's method, originally designed for sediment analysis by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS), the sequential extraction scheme has been developed for the multi-element analysis by Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES). The partitioning of particulate trace elements was classified into five fractions: (i) exchangeable, (ii) bound to carbonates or specially adsorbed, (iii) bound to Fe and Mn oxides, (iv) bound to organic matter and sulphides and (v) residuals. The experimental results of the pilot study for in-house reference material (HRM2) and certified international standard reference material (SRM2711) using the modified method showed not only reasonable precision and accuracy but also acceptable overall recovery rates. In addition, mine dump soils sampled in the Dalsung Cu-W mine, Korea were prepared and sequentially extracted using the method. Most of Cu was bound to organic matter/sulphides and residual fractions. The dominant fraction of soil Pb and Zn in the study area was found in the residuals. The fraction of Cd showed a wide variation between samples and could be found bound to the carbonates or specially adsorbed, oxides, organic fraction and residuals. The recovery rates of Cd, however, were poor due to relatively low Cd concentrations in soils. The heavy metals in these mine dumps appear to be in the more inert forms and should not be readily bioavailable. The soils, however, had very low pH values (average 4.1) and had sandy textures; consequently, rapid infiltration of rainfall may increase leaching of Zn and Cd which were found to be around 5 to 10% of the exchangeable fraction. As a result of the investigation of this study, it has been strongly recommended that these mine waste materials should still be considered a significant contaminant source and will need environmental remediation to prevent pollutants from being released into the environment.
