The global cod market is supposed to have weak structure with a high dependence on the supply of Russia, the United States, Norway, and China. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted the cod supply chain for the worse. Fish processing facilities in China stopped their operation, and cod demand declined due to shrinking consumption in Europe. The position of South Korea as an intermediary trade country between Russia and China strengthened due to the U.S.-China trade war and the Atlantic cod decrease in 2019. However, this global cod supply chain collapse has caused South Korea to export accumulated cod to Indonesia and Vietnam at a bargain price, showing that South Korea was unable to cope with this supply chain crisis. The primary purpose of this study is to investigate changes in the global cod supply chain and their impacts on the intermediary trade of South Korea caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. It also aims to provide implications by analyzing advanced cases in Denmark. As the cod supply chain crisis countermeasures, this study suggests that South Korea develop high value-added marine products, gain competitive advantages by solidifying the value chains of related countries, and activate export by discovering alternative markets in terms of the supply chain of the cod industry.

부남호는 하굿둑 건설 이후 수질이 급격히 악화되어 농업용수로 사용이 불가할 만큼 본래의 기능을 상실하였다. 따라서 해수 교환이나 유통의 필요성이 있으나, 극히 오염된 부남호의 물을 대량 방류할 시 문제가 야기될 수 있기 때문에 시기에 따른 환경 조사가 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 갈수기 (4월)와 강우기 (7월)에 천수만과 부 남호의 수질 및 식물플랑크톤 분포 특성을 조사하였다. 갈수기에는 부유 생물이 정체되어 부남호 내에서 남조류 Oscillatoria spp. 세포수가 8.92×107 cells L-1로 대증식하였 고, Nitrate+Nitrite을 제외한 영양염 대부분이 소비되었다. 강우기에는 담수 유입의 영향으로 부남호에서 용존 영양염이 크게 증가하였고 부남호에서 식물플랑크톤이 대증식 하였다. 강우기 방류의 영향으로 천수만 내측 역시 높은 농도의 생물량을 보였다. 강우기 부남호에서 우점했던 남조류 Oscillatoria spp.와 Microcystis spp.가 천수만 내측에서도 다수 출현하였으며, 해수에서는 Cheatoceros spp., Eucampia zodiacus와 같은 규조류가 빠르게 증식하였다. 부영양화 지수는 부남호 내측에서 1을 초과하여 부영양 해역으로 평가되었다. 천수만은 강우기에 담수 방류의 영향을 받을 경우 부영양화 해역으로 평가되었다. 특히 부남호 내 방조제에 인접한 B3 정점의 8 m 이상 수심에서 정체된 해수 기원의 강한 빈산소 수괴가 관찰되었고, Nitrate+Nitrite를 제외한 영양염 농도가 극단적으로 높았다. 특히 COD 농도가 206 mg L-1로 심하게 오염된 상태임을 확인하였다. 따라서 부남호는 지속적으로 육상기원의 영양염이 누적되며, 식물플랑크톤의 대발생과 침강으로 수질이 더욱 악화될 가능성이 높은 수역으로 판단되었고, 이를 근본적으로 해결하기 위해서는 해수유통을 통한 생태계 복원이 필수적이다.

In order to investigate the behavioral characteristics of Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) released at the entrance of Jinhae Bay, Korea, the direction and range of movement, swimming speed of the fish were measured with an acoustic telemetry techniques in winter, 2015. Three wild Pacific codes WC1 to WC3 (total length 66.0, 75.0, 76.0 cm; body weight 2.84, 2.79, 3.47 kg, respectively) were tagged with the acoustic transmitter. WC1 tagged with an acoustic transmitter internally by surgical method, WC2 and WC3, externally with the acoustic data logger and a micro data logger for recording audible sound waves including timer release unit. The movement routes of the tagged fish were measured more than five hours using VR100 receiver and a directional hydrophone. The directionality of the fish movement was tested by Rayleigh’s z-Test, the statistical analysis, and a statistical program SPSS. Three tagged fishes were individually released on the sea surface around the entrance to the Jinhae Bay on 10 to 24 January 2015. WC1 moved about 13.32 km with average swimming speed of 0.63 m/s for six hours. The average swimming depth and water depth of the seabed on the route of WC1 were 7.2 and 32.9 m, respectively. The movement range of WC2 and WC3 were 7.95 and 11.06 km, approximately, with average swimming speed of 0.44 and 0.58 m/s for 5.1 and 5.3 hours, respectively. The average swimming depth of WC2 and WC3 were 18.7 and 5.0 m, and the water depth on the route, 34.4 and 29.8 m, respectively. Three fishes WC1 to WC3 were shown significant directionality in the movement (p < 0.05). Movement mean angles of WC1 to WC3 were 77.7, 76.3 and 88.1°, respectively. There was no significant correlation between the movement direction of fish (WC1 and WC2) and the tidal currents during the experimental period (p >= 0.05). Consequently, three tagged fishes were commonly moved toward outside of the entrance and headed for eastward of the Korean Peninsula, approximately, after release. It may estimate positively that the tidal current speed may affect to the swimming speed of the Pacific cod during the spring tide than the neap tide.

Four chemical treatments with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), copper sulfate (CuSO4), potassium permanganate (KMnO4) and chlorine (Cl2) were applied to the effluent pond water of a hybrid striped bass saltwater recirculating aquaculture system to compare their oxidation power. Four chemicals were applied at concentrations of 0 (control), 1, 5, 10 and 20 mg/l. An additional concentration of 40 mg/l was included in the chlorine treatment. Water samples from four hybrid striped bass ponds were tested with KMnO4 and Cl2. H2O2 did not reduce any of BOD, COD and chlorophyll-a, and copper sulfate was only effective on chlorophyll-a for the effluent pond. Removal efficiencies for chlorophyll-a by copper sulfate were 19.2%, 37.5%, 54.2% and 74.1% dose-dependently. Potassium permanganate effectively removed the BOD, COD and chlorophyll-a. The COD removal rates in four fish ponds varied from 15.9% to 31.6% at the concentration of 10 mg/l. Interestingly, Cl2 did not reduce the BOD and COD at all, but the BOD and COD instead increased drastically with increasing the Cl2 concentration. The pond water with the highest initial BOD and COD values among the fish ponds tested increased by 350% in the BOD and 150% in the COD at 20 mg/l. Furthermore, Cl2 did not significantly reduce any types of solid matter in this study, while KMnO4 seemed to reduce some extent volatile dissolved solid in the fish pond.

합성폐수 내의 유기물(COD), 질산성 질소, 인산이온을 제거하기 위한 폐수처리 시스템 개 발을 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 먼저 COD는 HClO의 산화 반응에 의해 거의 100 % 제거되었으며 전기 화학적 처리에 의해 질산성 질소가 암모니아성 질소로 환원되지만, 암모니아성 질소는 HClO 처리에 의 해 질산성 질소로 재 산화 되었다. 암모니아성 질소는 가열 증발 처리에 의하여 거의 100% 제거 되었 으며 HClO 처리를 하여도 재 산화되는 암모니아성 질소는 나타나지 않았다. 인산 이온은 pH에 따라 금속 착염을 형성함으로써 침전 처리에 의해 제거할 수 있었으며 전기화학적 처리와 HClO 처리를 통 하여 COD 99.5 % 이상, 질소 97.3 %, 인 91.5 %의 제거 효율을 얻을 수 있었다.

A-B Process는 A 단계에서 에너지 회수능력을 획기적으로 향상시키고, B 단계에서는 에너지 소비를 절감할 수 있는 기술로 구성되는 것을 특징으로 한다. A-B Process는 다양한 단위기술로 구성이 가능하며, 향후 에너지 생산 하수처리 시설을 위해서 필수적이라고 할 수 있다. 대표적으로 A단계는 고속활성슬러지 공법 또는 혐기처리로 구성하여 일반 활성슬러지공법과 대비 높은 COD Capture가 가능하며, A단계에서 제거되지 않은 일부 유기물과 질소는 B단계에서 단축질산화/탈질공정 또는 부분질산화/아나목스 공정으로 에너지를 절감한 형태로 효율적인 제거가 가능하다. 본 연구는 A단계에서 혐기성 세라믹 분리막 생물반응조 공정을 도입하여 하수처리로부터 90% COD Capture가 가능하였다.

To estimate the movement of Pacific cod Gadus macrocephalus in the Korean Southeast Sea, three type tags were used. A total of 97 Pacific cod were tagged and released with either archival tags or conventional tags. Of these releases, commercial fishermen recovered thirteen conventional tags, and five of seven pop-up tags transmitted data to Argos satellites. Pacific cod began to move towards East Sea after release, and they spent most of their time at depths of 100 to 300m, water temperatures of 0.8 to 14.0°C. However, geographical ranges of their movement limited to area around the southern East Sea. Pacific cod attached conventional tag were recaptured near the release site(Jinhae Bay: main spawning ground) about one or two year after release. Data obtained from tagging investigations suggest that they migrated annually from spawning ground to habtat of the Korean Southeast Sea.
