To investigate seasonal variation of fisheries resources composition and their correlationships with environmental factors in the coastal ecosystem of the middle Yellow Sea of Korea, shrimp beam trawl were carried out for the fisheries survey. Fisheries resources of 81 species, 57 families, and 6 taxa totally were collected by shrimp beam trawl in the middle coastal ecosystem of Yellow Sea of Korea. Species were included 6 species in Bivalvia, 6 in Cephalopoda, 22 in Crustacea, 2 in Echinodermata, 5 in Gastropoda, and 40 in Pisces. Diversity indices (Shannon index, H') showed seasonal variation with low value of 2.14 in winter, and high value of 2.67 in spring. Main dominant species were Oratosquilla oratoria, Octopus ocellatus, Acanthogobius lactipes, Cynoglossus joyneri, Rapana venosa venosa, Loligo beka, Chaeturichthys stigmatias, Raja kenojei, Microstomus achne and Paralichthys olivaceus, that were occupied over 58% of total individuals, and 55% of wet weight. Fisheries organism made four coordinative seasonal groups by the principal component analysis (PCA), showing stronger seasonal variation than spatial variation. PC from PCA showed statistically significant cross-correlationships with seawater temperature, NH4-N, TP and chlorophyll a (P 〈 0.05).

Ecosystem-based fisheries management requires a holistic assessment of the status of fisheries by integrating fishery ecosystem indicators for management objectives. In this study four objectives were identified such as the maintenance of the sustainability, biodiversity and habitat quality and socio-economic benefits. The ecosystem-based fisheries assessment (EBFA) model to assess fisheries and their resources at the ecosystem level developed for Korean fisheries (Zhang et al., 2009) has a number of indicators for three management objectives. However, it was found that there were some overlapping components among indicators and that there were difficulties in assessing some indicators in the EBFA model. This study identified problems of the approach and suggested more pragmatic and simpler indicators. It also presented alternative reference points to assess indicators and discussed issues associated with the application of the EBFA model to a marine ranching ecosystem. In this study a total of 24 indicators were used for the assessment which included 4 socio-economic indicators. New indicators and reference points were demonstrated by applying it to the Uljin marine ranch.

Water resources in Republic of Korea have been mainly supplied by the artificial reservoirs and lakes due to severely unbalanced rainfall. rainfall through the year. The lakes and reservoirs in which littoral zones have been damaged in a dry season usually have a big difference between high and low water level. In this study, We examined the effects of artificial floating island (AFI) in the Lake Baekgoki at Jin-Cheon, Chungcheongbuk-do, Korea. Phytoplankton is flora as 29 genera and 39 species, and the dominant species were Synedra acus, Lyngbya sp. and Cryptomonas sp., etc. The plankton numbers gradually decreased after installation of the AFI. In contrast with the phytoplankton, zooplankton individuals increased under the AFI, offering the habitats for zooplankton. Fish fauna were three families and seven species and 76 individuals were counted the AFI. The artificial vegetated island showed the significant effects on the restoration of lake ecosystem.

The natural environment of Gulup-do should be preserved due to its unique ecological characteristics. A recent report stated that CJ group, one of Korea’s major business conglomerates (chaebols), plans to construct golf courses and resort facilities in Gulup-do. Such projects will destroy the delicate animal habitats of the island. The harmful chemical runoff from golf courses will also significantly damage the ecosystem. The purpose of this paper is to show that the development of Gulup-do will adversely affect the ecology of the island.

본 연구에서는 2006~2007년 동안 도심하천인 미호천과 갑천의 이화학적 수질 및 서식지 특성을 분석하였고, 또한 어종 분포 및 길드분석을 통해 군집구조 및 생태건강도 특성을 비교 평가하였다. 전형적인 두 도심하천의 BOD, COD농도는 각각 평균 3.5 mg L-1, 5.7 mg L-1였고, 총질소(TN)및 총인(TP)의 농도는 각각 5.1 mg L-1, 274 μg L-1로서 이미 부영양 상태

본 연구는 Ecopath 모델을 이용하여 유수생태계인 낙동강 하류 생태계의 영양구조와 에너지 흐름을 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 2007년 갈수기(5월)와 풍수기(8월)에 낙동강 하류 삼랑진 일대의 6개 지점에서 조사를 실시하였으며, 어류의 각 어종별 밀도와 자원량 자료를 위해 2007년 3월에서 11월까지 매달 2회씩 조사를 실시하였다. 낙동강 하류 생태계는 수온이 20.9~31.4℃, 전기전도도 135~364μ

A self-regulatory community fisheries management program in Korea is designed to enhance fisheries resources, to protect fishing grounds of self-regulatory communities, and to manage their fisheries resources by their own regulations and knowledge. This study explored an applicable ecosystem-based management plan based on the scientific investigation and analysis. This study suggested objectives, indicators and reference points of the ecosystem-based resource management system which are applicable to selfregulatory community fisheries. The objectives of the management system are to maintain sustainable fisheries production, to maintain optimum fishing intensity, to reduce by-catch, to conserve spawning ground and habitat, to maintain optimum habitat environment, to increase/maintain abundance of prey species, to increase/maintain stock biomass, and to conduct stock enhancement on the basis of scientific assessment. The improved methods for the assessment and management are introduced by demonstrating a self-regulatory fishery which targets on hen clam in Dong-li fishing village in Busan.

본 연구는 2004년 5월부터 2004년 11월까지 총 4회 조사를 실시하였으며, 수서곤충은 과별 생물지수(FBI)와 물리적 서식환경(PHA)을 이용하여 원주천의 건강도를 평가하였다. 원주천 9개 지점을 통해 출현한 수서곤충은 총 8목 37과 62속 92종이었다. 과별생물지수의 경우 지점 1, 2, 3에서 4.55~4.82로 가장 건강한 하천생태계를 유지하고 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 물리적 서식환경과 과별생물지수 간의 상관관계는 지점 2가 각각 100, 4.82의 값으로 가장 좋은 서식환경을 나타내었다. 그러나 지점 7과 9는 45, 6.17과 6.97로 가장 낮은 서식환경을 나타내어 물리적 서식환경의 개선이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 물리적 서식환경과 과별생물지수는 서로 역의 상관성을 나타내었다.

Benthic macro invertebrate communities were collected at six different sampling sites in the Musucheon stream in Korea from July 2006 to July 2007, and ecological exergy values were calculated based on five different functional feeding groups (collector-g
