Fibrocapsa japonica (Raphidophyceae) is regarded as a harmful algal bloom organism in Japanese waters, where it has been linked to fish kills. Fibrocapsa is a common species in New Zealand coastal waters, particularly in the Hauraki Gulf, where it has regularly bloomed in the spring under E1 Nino climate conditions for the past six years. The New Zealand isolate had 1.4 times more total polyunsaturated acids than the Japanese isolate under the same growth conditions, suggesting that eicosapentaenoic acid in particular coold be used as a discriminating chemotaxonomic marker. The molecular probes tested showed no differential binding of the raphidophytes to lectins, but oligonucleotide probes targeted F. japonica ribosomal RNA bound specifically to both isolates. Neither strain was toxic in mouse or neuroblastoma bioassays. There is no evidence that the New Zealand F. japonica isolates investigated to date produce ichthyotoxins.

As methods reducing damages by jellyfish which enter the coastal areas of Korea, attaching cutting devices to towing nets of otter trawls or pair trawls and/or using a canvas type of cutting nets of small fishing boats have been widely utilized. In order to reduce shut-down damages of power plants in coastal areas due to the mass influx of marine organisms including jellyfish, a possible improvement of the traveling water screen system and various jellyfish influx blocking devices were suggested in this study. The results could be utilized as an important index for reducing damages by jellyfish bloom which cause on a massive scale in summer in Korea.

The effects of water temperature, salinity and irradiance on the growth of harmful algae Chattonella marina isolated from Gamak Bay in South Sea, Korea were investigated. C. marina was able to grow in temperatures of $15-30^{\circ}C$ and salinities of 10-35 psu. Maximum specific growth rate (0.64/day) was observed with combination of $25^{\circ}C$ and 25 psu. Optimal growth (${\ge}70%$ of maximum specific growth rate) was obtained with all salinities of the above $20^{\circ}C$. This result indicated that C. marina is a stenothermal of the high water temperature and euryhaline organism. C. marina was did not grow at irradiance ${\le} 10{\mu}mol$ photons/($m^2\;s$). Photoinhibition did not occur at $300{\mu}mol$ photons/($m^2\;s$), which was the maximum irradiance used in this study. The irradiance-growth curve was described as ${\mu}=0.78(I-11.4)/(I+34.1)$ at $25^{\circ}C$ and 25 psu. The half-saturation photon flux density (PFD) ($K_s$) was $56.9{\mu}mol$ photons/($m^2\;s$) and compensation PFD ($I_c$) was $11.4{\mu}mol$ photons/($m^2\;s$). The result of the present study indicate that C. marina has advantage physiological characteristic to the interspecific competition at the embayment and costal areas of South and West Sea, Korea in summer.

우리나라 남해안에서 매년 유해 편모조류인 Cochlodinium polykrikoides 적조가 발생하고 있으며 많은 수산피해를 일으키고 있다. 본 연구는 본 종에 대한 적조발생기구를 구명하는데 있어 생물학적인 기초를 확립하기 위해 실시되었다. 실험실 배양실험을 통해 물리 화학적 환경요인에 대한 C. polykrikoides의 성장을 조사하였고, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 해양에서 발생하는 C. polykrikoides 자연군집의 동역학중에서 물리$\cdot$화학적 환경요인의 상대적인 중요성을 평가하기 위해 수온, 염분, pH, 조도 조건별로 무균배양을 통한 본 종의 성장을 조사하였다. 그 결과는 $25^{\circ}C,\;40\%_{\circ}$, pH 7.5, 7,500 lux에서 가장 성장률이 높았다. 그리고, $19\~28^{\circ}C$에서도 성장이 잘 이루어져 광온성(eurythermal) 종으로 확인되었으며, 발생해역의 염분 범위인$30\~35\%$의 환경조건을 만족하는, 즉 내만의 저염분 보다는 외양의 고염분 환경에서 발생하여 성장하는 종으로 확인되었고, 광염성 (euryhaline) 종이다. 그리고, 높은 일사량을 요구하며 현장해역의 pH 범위에서 성장이 원활히 이루어졌다. 무기태 영양염인 질소원으로 질산질소와 암모니아질소를, 인원으로 인산인을 이용하여 C. polykrikoides의 영양염에 대한 성장실험을 하였다. 그 결과, C. polykrikoides의 영양요구량은 질산질소, 암모니아질소, 인산인에 대해 각각 $40, 50, 5{\mu}M$이었고, 성장에 의한 반포화상수 (Ks)값은 각각 $2.10,\;1.03,\;0.57{\mu}M$로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과로부터 C. polykrikoides는 타와편모조류에서 보고된Ks 값보다 대체적으로 낮았고, 빈영양성 (oligotrophic) 종은 아니며, 부영양성 (eutrophic) 종에 해당하지만 암모니아질소 Ks 값은 뚜영양성 종보다 낮은 값을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 C. polykrikoides 적조는 내만의 부영양화된 해역보다는 부영양상태가 높아지고 있는 해역에서 발생할 가능성이 매우 높은 것을 나타낸다. 또한, C. polykrikoides는 질산질소보다 암모니아질소를 성장시 보다 유효한 영양염으로 선택하여 소비하였다 이것은 암모니아질소가 타 영양염보다 성장에 보다 중요한 요인으로 작용하며, C. polykrikoides 적조는 해양에서 증가한 암모니아질소 농도와 연관되는 것으로 나타났다.

Monospecific red tide by a toxic dinoflagellate belonging to the genus Alexandrium occurred at Chindong Bay in the southern coast of Korea and continued from April 6th to 15th in 1997. The ratio of its cell number to total phytoplankton cell number was much higher than $95\%$. This organism was identified as Alexandrium tamarense, although slight morphological differences were found comparing to the original and successive descriptions of the species. We found neither anterior nor posterior attachment pores in these cells of the bloom population. The occurrence of red tide caused by A. tamarense was first reported in Korea. Its plate formula is Po, Pc, 4', 6"c, 8s, 5"' and 2"". Thecal plates are thin with pore-like ornamentation. In those plates, the anterior part of the first apical plate (1') is narrower and its posterior end has sometimes a block-like accessory, but this variation was considered within the range of the morphological variability of this taxon. The cell density during the red tide exhibited a wide range of variation by the depth of water column, ranging from $2\times10^6$ cells$l^{-1}$ to $5\times10^6$ cells·$l^{-1}$. Water temperature varied from 11.8 to $12.3^{\circ}C$. Toxicity of A. tamarense during red tide was measured as $8.8\times10^5$. $MU\;\cdot\;cell^{-1}$ by mouse bioassay.

연간 100억톤 이상 사용되는 선박의 밸러스트수를 통하여 병원균이나 외래해양생물종이 전 세계적으로 이동함에 따라 해양생태계 의 교란 파괴가 심각한 문제의 하나로 대두되었다. 이에 선박 밸러스트수에 포함되어 다른 생태계로 전파되는 외래 생물종 및 병원균에 의한 해양환경 및 생태계 보호를 위하여 IMO 에서는 2004년 2월 "선박의 밸러스트수와 침전물의 통제 및 관리를 위한 국제협약"을 완성, 채택하였다. 하지만, 선박이 이동하여 밸러스트수를 배출하게 되면 외래생물종이 옮겨질 뿐만 아니라 각종 오염물질도 함께 배출되어 방류해역을 오염 시킬 수 있다. 그러나 이 협약은 오염물질의 이동이나 그로 인한 피해를 최소화하기 위한 규제를 전혀 언급하지 않고, 오직 수중생물이나 병원균과 같은 외래생물종의 이동을 최소화하는 데에만 초점을 맞추고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 근거리 항해로 완전한 밸러스트수 교환이 어려우며 항만공사 및 해양자원 개발이 활발히 이루어지고 있는 동북아시아 주요항구로부터 출항하여 우리나라 항내에서 밸러스트수를 배출하는 선박의 밸러스트수 샘플을 채취하여 밸러스트수의 체계적인 관리에 필요한 기초자료로써 주요항에 출입하는 선박의 밸러스트수 오염도를 확인하였다.

Many port states such as New Zealand, the USA, Australia and Canada have strict regulations to prevent ships which arrive in their port from discharging polluted ballast water which contain harmful aquatic organism and pathogens. They are notified that transfer of polluted ballast water can cause serious injury to public health and damage to property and environment. For this reason, they perceived that the ballast exchange in deep sea is the most effective method, together with submitting the ballast management plan which contains the effective exchange method, ballast system and safety consideration. In this study, we pursued both nautical engineering analysis and optimization of algorithm in order to generate the sequence of stability and rapidity. Heuristic Algorithm was chosen on the basis of optimality and applicability to a sequential exchange problem. We have built an optimized algorithm, for automatic exchange of ballast water, by redefining core elements of the $A^\ast$ algorithm, such as node, operator and evaluation function. Final version of the optimized algorithm has been applied to existing bulk carrier and the performance of the algorithm has been verified successfully.

Aquatic ecotoxicity of bisphenol A, a well-known endocrine disrupter in mammals, was studied using laboratory-reared Daphnia magna as a test organism. The static acute 48 h $EC_{50}$ of bisphenol A for daphnid neonates(<24 hold) was 12.9 mg/l and 110 h $LC_{50}$ values of bisphenol A for daphnid embryos of different ages after deposition into the brood chamber increase with ages in the range of 1.55 mg/l-8.91 mg/l. Also, 48 h $EC_{50}s$ generally increase with daphnid's ages in the range of 12.9 mg/l-19.8 mg/l. In the acute toxicity tests using mature daphnids, the lethal response and immobility all showed good concentration-response relationship with exposure concentration and exposure time, showing little difference between lethality and immobility. These results clarify that acute toxicity tests, using daphnid and its embryo, could also be useful tools easily available for the assessment of ecotoxicity of various harmful chemicals.

The effects of temperature, salinity and irradiance on the growth of the harmful red tide dinoflagellate Cochlodinium polykrikoides Margelef isolated from the South Sea of Korea were examined in the laboratory. Growth was examined under the following combinations of temperature and salinity: 15, 20, 25 and $30^{\circ}C$, and 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 psu at a constant irradiance of $180\;{\mu}mol/m^2/s$. No growth was observed with a temperature of $15^{\circ}C$ and a salinitiy of 15 psu. Moderate growth rates of more than 0.30 /day were obtained at $25^{\circ}C$ with salinities of 25.35 psu. These values are similar to in situ observations for this species. The maximum growth rate, 0.35 /day, was obtained at $25^{\circ}C$ and 30 psu. In light experiments, cell growth of C. polykrikoides was conducted with constant temperature ($20^{\circ}C$) and salinity (30 psu) under light photon flux densities (PFD) of 10, 25, 50, 70, 100, 150, 250 and $350\;{\mu}mol/m^2/s$. C. polykrikoides did not grow at $10\;{\mu}mol/m^2/s$. Cell growth was observed at irradiance values of $25\;{\mu}mol/m^2/s$ and above. The irradiance-growth curve was described as ${\mu}=0.30{\cdot}(I-15.27)/(I+27.22)$, (r=0.99). This suggests a compensation PFD of $15.27\;{\mu}mol/m^2/s$ and a maximum growth rate of 0.30 /day. In conclusion, C. polykrikoides prefers high salinity, temperature and irradiance in summer in Korea. These results provide important information for understanding the mechanism of C. polykrikoides blooms and developing technology to predict blooms of this organism in the field.
