이 논문에서는 교량받침 교체용 통공앵커의 충전조건과 하중조건에 따른 구조적 안전성을 유한요소해석을 통해 확인하였다. 에폭시의 충전여부와 하중조건을 변수로 두어 통공앵커의 구조적 거동을 확인한 결과 에폭시 완충 시 앵커에 정적수평하중이 균등하게 작용하여 통공앵커가 작용하중에 저항하여 구조물의 국부적인 파괴를 방지 가능하였다.

정부는 해양환경복원과 수산자원을 회복하기 위해 1971년부터 2014년까지 약 44년 동안 222,627ha의 인공어초어장 을 조성하였다. 그러나 인공어초 설치사업은 증가되고 있는 반면 아직까지 설치된 어초의 효과에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 포항시 장길리 해역에 설치된 뿔삼각형어초에 부착·서식하는 저서동물의 시간적 군집변 화를 살펴보기 위해 2003년 포항시 장길리 해역 수심 5∼7m에 설치된 뿔삼각형어초를 대상으로 2009년 2월부터 2011년 8월까지 총 4회에 걸쳐 어초에 부착된 저서동물의 군집을 분석하였다. 그 결과 우점하는 분류군은 연체동물이고 우점종은 바다방석고둥인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 출현종들은 대부분 시공간의 변화에 따라 달라지는 양상을 보였다. 따라서 이 연구를 통해 시설해역과 목적하는 종의 특성에 적합한 인공어초 개발 연구, 사후관리에 관한 이용, 관리제도 제정 등에 활용될 것으로 기대한다.

The solitary ascidian, Halocynthia aurantium, which is commonly called the sea peach because of its coloration and general shape, is a valuable organism of benthic marine population in the northern region of the East Sea, Korea. It is seldom found at a depth of less than 10 meters and the sea peach is frequently observed in large populations between 20 and 100 meters. It appears to prefer attachment to vertical rocks faces and artificial cement blocks exposed to the currents. Mass mortality and reduction of resources in sea peach, H. aurantium, were occurred in the benthic area of the northern region of the East Sea because of the rapid fluctuation of environmental factors such as temperature and salinity due to mass rainfall in summer and going up north of a strong warm current in winter. Therefore, we examined the effects of temperature and salinity on embryonic development of fertilized eggs, tadpole larva to metamorphosis, and attachment to siphon development. Laboratory-raised larvae were studied using a two-factorial experimental design with four levels of temperature(8, 12, 16 and 20℃) and four levels of salinity(20, 25, 30 and 34 psu). The ascidian larvae of H. aurantium survived environmental conditions between temperature of 8～20℃ and salinity of 25～34 psu and exhibited positive growth at 8～16℃ and 30～34 psu. Fertilized eggs have not developed at lower salinity of 20 psu irrespective of temperature range tested and have showed an abnormal development at the salinity of 25 psu between higher temperatures of 20 and 24℃. This result suggests that temperature increase and salinity reduction depending on environmental fluctuation may have significant impacts on population variation of H. aurantium in the northern region of the East Sea.

The clam, Gomphina melanaegis, which is commonly called the sandy beach clam because of its habitat, is a valuable organism in the sandy coast of East Sea, Korea. It is frequently observed in large populations between 0.5 and 5 meters. We have released 50,000 seedling, ranging from the diameter of approximately 3 mm, 2007, and 1,000,000 seedling, ranging from the diameter of approximately 0.2 mm, plus 100,000 adult individuals, ranging from the shell length of approximately 20～40 mm, 2008 at Jinha beach. The spawning period of G. melanaegis, was from June to August, and the main spawning occurred in July. This investigation was carried out to elucidate population distribution on the stocking area of sandy beach clam, G. melanaegis. The relationship between shell length and ring radius in each ring was investigated as a regression line. The relationship between the shell length and shell height of released young clam was SH=1.0105SL-4.7764 (R2=0.7905). The relationship between the shell length and total weight of released young clam was TW=0.0013SL2.3966(R2=0.71). It draws a deduction that the ring of this clam was produced once a year during the duration between June and August.
