Investigation of Water Quality in the Laver Bed at Yongwon Ri, Changwon Gun During the Spring and Neap Tide in March 1970

경남 창원군 능동면 용원리 김밭의 수질에 대하여

The water quality of the laver bed at Yongwon Ri, Changwon Gun was investigated during the spring and neap tide in March 1970. The effect of tide on the contents of various chemical constituents was irregular and the variation ranges of the contents were narrow. The pH value during flood and ebb tide was a constant of 8.2. The chlorosity range varied from 19.15 to 19.33g/l, the difference of 0.18g/l being comparatively small for coastal waters. The nutrient salts contents varied irregulary with the change in tide, but nitrite and soluble iron were not detected. In local distribution, chlorosity and silicate- silicon contents were found to be more at Sts. 1, 2 and 3 in the eastern area than at Sts. 4, 5 and 6 in the western area, wheras nitrate and ammonia contents were found to be more at Sts. 4, 5 and 6. The nitrate content was especially high, being twice as much as that at Sts. 1, 2 and 3 in the eastern area. In the spring tide, chlorosity was found, on the average, to be as much as 0.06g/l higher than in the neap tide, but the contents of nutrient salts were higher in the neap tide, especially the nitrate content was twice as much. When compared with other selected local laver beds, i.e., the tidal flats of the Nackdong and Somjin rivers, and of Wan Do Gun, the chlorosity level was highest but the nutrient salts contents level was, in general, slightly lower and the variation ranges narrow in the laver bed at Yongwon ri. The nitrate content, in particular was one tenth smaller than the others.

창원군 능동면 용원리 김밭의 3월 대조 및 소조때의 수질을 조사하여 타지방 김밭과 비교하였다. 조수에 따른 각 성분량의 시간적 변동은 불규칙적이고 변동범위도 그다지 크지않다. pH는 8.2의 일정한 값이고 염소량은 19.15-19.33g/l 로서 0.18g/l의 변동범위를 갖는다. 영양염의 양도 조수와는 무관하게 변동한다. 아질산염 및 철은 검출되지 않았다. 지역별로는 대마도쪽이 입도쪽보다 염소량은 평균 0.05g/l가 놓고 규산염의 양도 비교적 많지만 인산염은 그다지 차가 없다. 질산염은 입도쪽이 약 2배 가량 많고 암모니아량도 입도쪽이 많다. 물때에 따라서는 염소량은 대조때가 평균 0.06g/l 높고, 영양염의 양은 소조때가 많아 특히 질산염은 약2배가 된다. 낙동강 하구 섬진강 하구 및 완도군 김밭들과 비교하면 염소량이 용원리가 가장 높고 영양염의 양도 일반적으로 적고 변동범위도 좁다. 특히 질산염의 양은 약 10분의 1밖에 되지 않는다.
