This study studied the characteristics of cultured oyster marketing in Sacheon Bay. The results of this study are summarized as follows. First, the GULDAE aquaculture is a unique production method of Sacheon Bay. Second, oysters in Sacheon Bay were low in production, but the price was more than 70% higher than in other producing areas. Third, profit is 12.5% higher and rate of return was 179.8%. Fourth, there were more out-of-market sales than other than other producing areas, and it is a bidding method. Fifth, the marketing cost was higher than the longline hanging aquaculture; however, the advantage of price offseted this point. Although the Sacheon Bay Oyster aquaculture is small, it was confirmed that it was a producing area with high profitability and a unique marketing form from other regions. Although the Sacheon Bay Oyster culture is small, it has been confirmed that it is a producing area with high profitability and shows a unique distribution form.

It was turned out by shrimp beam trawl monthly survey from March, 2015 to February, 2016 that different species composition and abundance of the fish assemblages in Sacheon Bay and coastal waters off Namhae, Korea were compared. As a result of monthly measured sea temperature and salinity of Sacheon Bay and coastal waters off Namhae, sea temperature of both areas was changed seasonally; however, differences in sea temperature occurred during certain periods depending on the region. Salinity was generally low in Sacheon Bay affected by fresh water, and both areas was low in summer and high in winter. A total of 73 species representing 37 families were collected in Sacheon Bay. The dominant fish species in terms of numbers and biomass were Liparis tanakae, 23,077 inds./km2, 332.1 kg/km2. A total of 91 fish species representing 49 families were collected in coastal waters off Namhae. The dominant fish species in terms of numbers were Leiognathus nuchalis, 139,683 inds./km2 and biomass were Chelidonichthys spinosus, 1,078.6 kg/km2. Analysis of dendrogram of the clustering showed that Sacheon Bay and coastal waters off Namhae were distinctive featured (global R = 0.691, p = 0.017). And except of summer season (July-October), there was a distinctive feature seasonally (global R = 0.844, p = 0.001). The fish species that appeared in common in both areas, where fish species caught in Sacheon Bay, an important inner bay,were smaller than those caught in coastal waters off Namhae appeared. It presented that Sacheon Bay plays a more important role in spawning and nursery ground for fisheries resource than coastal waters off Namhae, Korea.

이 연구는 2009년 1월부터 9월까지 총 4회(1월, 4월, 7월 9월) 사천만에서 해수와 표층퇴적물의 세균학 적․이화학적 특성을 조사한 것이다. 조사기간 중에 수온은 5.3∼24.9℃(평균 17.7±0.4℃), 투명도는 1.4∼2.5m(평균 1.8±0.5m), 부유물질 농도는 16.2∼35.8㎎/L(평균 24.2±2.2㎎/L), 화학적산소요구량 (COD)는 1.42~3.29 ㎎O2/L(평균 2.06±0.55 ㎎O2/L), 용존산소(DO)는 6.7∼9.5㎎/L(평균 7.9±0.6 ㎎ /L)로 각각 조사되었다. 대장균군과 분변계대장균의 검출 범위는 <1.8∼7,900 MPN/100mL (GM 214.7 MPN/100mL)과 <1.8∼330 MPN/ 100mL (GM 9.7 MPN/100mL)로 각각 나타났다. 대장균군은 시료의 75.0%, 분변계대장균은 57.1%가 각각 양성을 나타내었다. 대장균군에 대한 분변계대장균의 양성율은 76.2%로 나타났다. 조사기간 중에 사천만에서의 표층퇴적물의 수분함량, 강열감량, COD 및 AVS의 평균 값은 53.28±2.58%, 9.38±0.42%, 14.23±3.36㎎O2/g, 0.09±0.07㎎S/g로 각각 조사되었다.

산천지방의 해풍은 사천부근의 지형, 특히 사천만과 소백산맥 등의 지형적인 영향으로 인하여 다음과 같은 특성을 가지고 있다. 1. 해륙풍의 발생빈도는 평균적 98.1일 (26.9%)로 김해지방의 56.8일 (15.5%) 및 부산지방의 65.8일 (19.0%)보다 높으며, 3월이 가장 많고 7월이 가장 작다. 2. 해풍의 평균 발생 시각은 13.3시로서 김해지방 (13.9시)보다 여름철을 제외하고는 빠르게 발생한다. 또, 평균 소면시각은 19.3시로서 김해지방 (20.3시)보다 빠르게 감소하며, 평균 지속시간은 5.9시간으로 김해지방(6.5시간)보다 겨울을 제외하고는 짧게 나타난다. 3. 해풍의 평균풍속은 5.8kts로서 김해지방 (6.8kts)과 부산지방(7.8kts)보다 약하며, 4월(7.7kts)이 가장 강하고 12월(4.8kts)이 가장 약하게 나타난다. 4. 해풍의 고도는 해풍발생과 함께 높아지고 해풍이 소멸되면서 점점 낮아진다. 때때로 21시 이후에도 1000 feet 이상의 고도까지 해풍이 존재한다
