Conventional aquaculture faces declining productivity, shifting to recirculating aquaculture system (RAS), known for minimizing water usage and maintaining consistent water temperatures for year-round fish growth. Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), a globally important cold-water species and the third most farmed fish in inland waters of Korea, valued for its fecundity and rapid growth. Dissolved oxygen, an important environmental factor affecting fish production and economics, highlights the need for smart aquaculture practices. Since 2018, the rise of intelligent aquaculture platforms, incorporating information and communications technology (ICT), emphasizes the essential role of RAS implementation. This eight-week study aimed to determine the optimal dissolved oxygen concentration for rainbow trout in RAS, utilizing a device for continuous monitoring, control and record. Dissolved oxygen concentrations were set at 5-6 mg/L, 9-10 mg/L, 14-15 mg/L and 17-18 mg/L. The growth rate significantly decreased at 5-6 mg/L, with no significant differences in other experimental groups. In hematological analysis, growth hormone (GH) was significantly highest at 5-6 mg/L, followed by 9-10 mg/L while Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) was significantly lowest at 5-6 mg/L. In conclusion, the optimal dissolved oxygen concentration for rainbow trout in RAS is approximately 9-10 mg/L. Higher concentrations do not contribute to further growth or profitability.

본 연구에서는 진해만의 DO 농도 재현을 목표로 LSTM 모형의 최적 매개변수 조건과 예측변수를 선별하기 위한 Case study를 진행하였다. 모형 매개변수 Case study 결과, 가장 적은 Hidden node와 Epoch인 Hidden node=10, Epoch=100에서 가장 낮은 정확도를 보였다. 이는 모형이 과소적합(Underfitting) 상태인 것으로 판단된다. Hidden node=80, Epoch=1200에서 R2 값은 0.99로 가장 높은 정확도를 보였다. 예 측변수 Case study 결과, 1개의 환경변수만을 예측변수로 사용한 Step 1에서 수온을 예측변수로 했을 때 저층 DO 농도 재현의 R2 값은 0.81 로 가장 높은 정확도를 보였다. 이후 2개의 환경변수를 사용한 Step 2에서는 수온과 SiO2를 예측변수로 했을 때 R2 값은 0.92로 수온만 사 용했을 때보다 정확도가 급격히 증가하였다. 이는 저층 DO 농도와 SiO2 농도간의 높은 상관성(=0.70)에 기인한 것으로 판단된다. 상기 결과로부터 진해만의 DO 농도 재현에 적합한 LSTM 모형의 매개변수와 예측변수를 찾을 수 있었다.

One-step hydrothermal reduction method was used to prepare three-dimensional carbon fiber brush-based graphene–platinum (CFB/Pt–G) composites to improve the electrocatalytic oxygen reduction activity of cathode materials for seawater oxygen-dissolved battery. Characterization results show that the reduced graphene oxide of as-prepared graphene–platinum composite displays the few-layer folded structure. In addition, Pt nanoparticles with the polycrystalline structure dispplay a preferential growth along the crystal plane of (111) and are mainly distributed around the defect cavities of folded graphene. Electrochemical results show that the diffusion-limited current density of CFB/Pt–G composite tested with 1600 rpm/min in 3.5% NaCl solution reaches 5 mA/cm2, while that of CFB/G is only 2.64 mA/cm2. Battery discharge results show that the maximum volume power density of CFB/Pt–G–Mg battery with a stable open voltage of 1.73 V is 81 times as much as the commercial seawater battery SWB1200.

In order to determine the location of average concentration and distribution status of dissolved oxygen in the rectangular aeration tank of the sewage treatment plant was analyzed and the difference of dissolved oxygen concentration was remarkable at each location. Compared with the computational fluid dynamics analysis, it was found that the results were consistent with the measurement results by showing the difference of dissolved oxygen concentration between the locations. Based on the measured data, the representative location of dissolved oxygen in aeration tank was selected by using statistical analysis method and the representative location was expressed in three-dimensional coordinates(LWH : 25%, 50%, 33%) from flow direction and left wall. Also the difference between the dissolved oxygen concentration at the actual measurement location and the average concentration value of the entire aeration tank was founded, and the equations for calibrating the automatic measurement data considering the actual measurement location were calculated.

Abalone (Haliotis discus hannai) is a shellfish that feeds on kelp and, as a product, it can often achieve a high market value. However, the dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in coastal waters in Korea have been negatively impacted by pollution from many anthropogenic sources. Herein, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software package was used to analyze the distribution of the DO concentration within an abalone containment structure. A finite volume approach was used to solve the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations combined with a k–ε turbulence model to describe the flow. The distribution of DO was determined within the control volume domain, and the transport equations of the pollutants were interpreted using a CFD model. The CFD analysis revealed that more than 60% and 30% of the relative oxygen concentration in one and two containers, respectively, was maintained when the flow acts along the six sheets of polyethylene plates. Therefore, it is clear that the abalone plate shelters should be placed parallel to the flow.

미더덕의 집단폐사가 주로 발생하는 여름철 고수온 및 빈산소에 의한 생물학적 지표를 찾아 대량폐사 원인 구명을 위한 기초자료로 활용하기 위하여 수온상승 및 용존산소농도 감소에 따른 미더덕의 생존율, 생리적 반 응 및 조직학적 변화 등을 조사하였다. 수온상승에 따른 생존율은 수온 23􀆆C에서 63.3%, 26􀆆C 에서 56.6%였으며, 수온 29􀆆C에서 노출 6일째 모두 사 망하여 노출 6일 동안의 반수치사 수온은(6day-LT50)은 24.58􀆆C (19.48~35.48􀆆C)였다. 용존산소 농도 감소에 따 른 생존율은 노출 11일째 용존산소농도 4.0 mg L-1에서 20%였으며, 2.0 mg L-1에서는 모두 사망하였고, 반수치사 용존산소 농도 (11day-LC50)는 3.88 mg L-1 (3.29~4.57 mg L-1)였다. 산소소비율과 암모니아질소 배설률은 임계 수온 및 임계용존산소 농도이하에서 감소하였다. 수온 상승 및 용존산소 농도 감소에 따른 미더덕의 새낭, 소화관 및 피낭의 병리조직학적 결과는 각 기관을 구성하고 있는 상피세포층의 증식, 응축 및 괴사, 식세포 및 혈구침윤, 섬모탈락, 근섬유 변성 등의 변성이 공통적 으로 관찰되었다. 미더덕은 수온 24􀆆C 이상, 용존산소 3.8 mg L-1 이하에서 조직학적 병변, 대사율 감소 등으로 환 경변화에 매우 민감한 생물이므로 여름철에 양성되고 있는 미더덕의 양식장관리에 세심한 관리가 요구된다.

The distribution of dissolved oxygen (DO) and its variability in Chunsu Bay were studied. Monthly hydrographic survey and realtime monitoring for water quality conditions were carried out in study area. Vertical distribution of DO shows the formation of hypoxia in the bottom water in the vicinity of the artificial dyke and net cage aquaculture site in summer. Annual mean of DO was 8.4 mg/l, with minimum monthly mean of 6.9 mg/l in July and maximum of 11.2 mg/l in March. Temporal variation of DO at bottom water around the net cage aquaculture site shows pronounced oscillatory characteristics with range of 0.5~7.0 mg/l. Coherency analyses between the tidal range and DO concentration shows that variation of DO is significantly coherent with tidal range at semi-diurnal period with 1~3.5 hours phase-lags. A simple DO budget model was set up to account for the formation of the extreme hypoxic conditions in Chunsu Bay. The governing equation is based on the mass-balance for kinetic process with simplified parameter of source and sink terms of DO. the source term is represented by replenishment through the vertical and horizontal diffusion and mixing. the sink terms comprise function of sediment oxygen demand (SOD) and carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand (CBOD). The result of numerical solution indicates the dominant role of SOD as the overriding factor against the oxygen supply.

본 연구는 멍게 대량폐사의 주요 현상으로 나타나고 있는 물렁증 발생의 원인을 찾기 위하여 저산소의 영향에 의한 물렁증 발생, 생존률, 대사율 및 병리조직학적 변화를 분석하였다. 용존산소의 감소에 따른 멍게의 생존률은 용존산소 농도 2 mg L-1에서 노출 4일째 모두 폐사하였으며, 3 mg L-1에서는 노출 5일째 50%를 나타내어 5days-LC50은 3.55 mg L-1 (1.86~4.96 mg L-1)로 나타났다. 그러나 저산소에 노출된 기간 동안 물렁증 발생은 관찰되지 않았다. 산소소비율은 대조구와 비교하여 용존산소 농도 5 mg L-1 이하에서 유의하게 감소하여 저산소에 노출되면 일정기간 호흡률을 조절하는 것으로 추정된다. 저산소에 의한 멍게의 새낭, 소화선 및 피낭의 병리조직학적인 변화는 각 기관을 구성하고 있는 상피세포층의 괴사, 혈구세포의 침윤, 세포핵 응축 및 변형 등이 관찰되었다. 형태적인 변화는 피낭이 쪼글어들어 부피가 작아지고 내부 기관은 탈색되고 아가미와 간췌장의 괴사가 관찰되었다.

주요 엽채류 7종의 주년 안정생산을 위한 담액수경 재배 시 양액의 순환주기가 양액의 용존산소 농도, 엽채류의 생육, 그리고 식물영양소의 함량에 미치는 효과를 검토한 결과, 양액을 1일 10분 순환 처리구는 정식 13일 후 용존산소 농도가 급격하게 떨어지고 17일 후에는 2.8mg L-1, 20일 후에는 최저 1.5mg L-1까지 낮아졌다. 처리 20일 후 7가지 엽채류의 생체중은 1일 10분 처리구에서는 대조구인 10분 순환/110분 정지 처리구에 비해 0~24% 범위에서 낮아졌으며, 10분 순환/10분 정지 처리구에서는 -2~34% 증가하였다. 양액의 순환주기가 짧을수록 식물체 엽내 P의 함량이 증가하였으며, 식물체의 C/N율과 비타민 C 함량은 감소하였다. 이상의 결과, 담액수경 엽채류의 안정적인 생육과 식물영영소의 흡수를 위해서 2시간에 10분 정도의 양액 순환 처리가 효율적이었다.

The in situ observations and the seawater analyses were conducted in July and August, 1996 for the purpose of describing the characteristics of organic pollution, dissolved oxygen distributions, and the evaluation of water quality in Mokpo harbour. The vertical density distribution of water column was found to be in stable structure with higher water temperature and lower salinity on surface layer at ebb tide in summer. In July, dissolved oxygen was shown to be oversaturated on surface and bottom layers, while in August, which was shown to be oversaturated on surface layer, and to be unsaturated on bottom layer as 68∼93% of saturation percentage. Dissolved oxygen of bottom layer in August was evaluated to be under the regular grades, based on Korean standards of seawater quality. In view of COD, the seawater quality of Mokpo harbour in summer was evaluated to be deteriorated due to organic wastes and graded to be the third class, and TSS of Mokpo harbour in summer was graded to be the second class, based on Korean standards of seawater quality. In particular, COD of surface layer in August was found to be under the regular grades. It is, therefore, necessary to take measures for the control of pollution loads and the proper management of seawater quality in Mokpo harbour. The distribution patterns of DO, COD, VSS and Chlorophyll-a on surface layer along the downstream center line from inner harbour to harbour entrance were similar to one another at ebb tide in August.

Dielectric barrier discharge plasma is a new technique in water pollutant degradation, which that is characterized by the production of chemically active species such as hydroxyl radicals, ozone, hydrogen peroxide, etc. If dissolving of plasma gas generated in the plasma reaction has increased, it is possible to increase the contaminant removal capacity. In this study, the improvement on the dissolving performance of plasma gas was evaluated by the indirect method measuring the overall oxygen transfer coefficient. Experiments were conducted to examine the effects of nozzle type, distance from water surface, air supply rate and liquid circulation rate. The experimental results showed that the KLa value of the 3-prong nozzle is 2.67 times higher than the diffuser. The order of KLa value with nozzle type ranked in the following order: 3-prong nozzle (inner diameter, less 1 mm) > circular nozzle (inner diameter, 1.5 mm) > ellipse nozzle (short diameter 1 mm, long diameter 2.5 mm) > circular nozzle (inner diameter, 3 mm). Optimal liquid circulation rate was appeared to be 1.7 L/min, the value of KLa was 0.510 1/min. The value of KLa with increasing air supply rate was revealed in the form of an exponential such as KLa=0.3581e0.2919＊air flow rate

The Youngsan Lake was constructed to supply agricultural water to the extensive rice fields in the basin of the lake in 1981. Hypoxia has often developed in the bottom water of the lake during the warm season although the water depth is relatively shallow (< 16 m). We investigated the spatial and temporal variations of dissolved oxygen (DO) and physical properties such as water temperature, salinity and turbidity to elucidate the effects of change in physical properties on DO dynamics in the lake. Vertical profiles of DO, temperature, salinity, and water density were also explored to verify the development of stratification in relation to DO variation in the water column. Hypoxia (DO < 2 mg L-1) was not observed in the upper regions whereas hypoxia was detected in the lower regions during the warm season. Thermocline generally developed in the lower regions during the warm season unlike the previous studies in which no thermocline was observed. However, water column was well mixed when freshwater water was discharged from the reservoir through the sluice gate of the dike. DO concentrations also decreased when halocline or pycnocline developed during the dry season suggesting that the vertical stratification of water column affects DO dynamics although the water depth is shallow in the Youngsan lake.

본 연구에서는 삽교천유역에 위치한 19개 수질관측지점의 16년간(1995～2010) 월별 용존산소(dissolved oxygen: DO)자료를 이용하여 월별 및 계절별 용존산소 추세를 분석하였다. 추세분석을 위해 Mann-Kendall 추세분석과 Sen's slope 방법을 적용하였다. 또한 삽교천 유역을 4개 구역(삽교호, 삽교천본류, 무한천 및 곡교천)으로 구분하여 카이스퀘어 동질성검정(chi-square homogeneity test)을 실시하여 각 구역의 월별, 그리고 계절별 용존산소추세의 동질성 유무를 분석하였다. 분석결과 대부분 수질관측지점의 월별, 계절별 용존산소는 증가추세를 보이거나 혹은 유의한 추세를 보이지 않았다. 또한 삽교천유역 수질관측지점들의 계절별 용존산소추세는 서로 동질성을 보인 반면에 월별 용존산소추세는 수질관측지점이 저수지에 위치한 지점의 경우 동질성을 보이지 않았다. 전반적으로 삽교천 유역 수질관측지점의 용존산소 추세는 각 수질관측지점의 위치와 계절에 따라서 다른 양상을 보였다.

오염 원인 물질의 해양 내 거동에 대한 파악은 환경 변화에 따른 부영양화 등 해양 수질 오염에 대한 예측 및 대응 방안 선정을 위한 전제 조건이다. 본 연구에서는 부영양화 원인 물질인 인의 해양퇴적물에서 해수로의 용출 특성을 조사하였다. 검토된 환경 조건은 pH 7-9, 온도 10-20℃, 용존 산소 농도(dissolved oxygen, DO) 0.7-7.0 mg/L 였다. 생물학적 요인을 배제한 조건에서 회분식 실험을 통해 구해진인 용출 자료는 1차 반응식으로 해석되었으며, 환경 조건의 영향은 통계학적 방법을 통해 정량화 되었다. 해양 퇴적물로부터 해수로의 인 용출은 pH와 온도가 높고 DO가 낮을수록 증가하였다. 1차 반응 평형 농도 기준으로 검토된 범위의 pH 증가, 온도 증가, DO 감소는 각각 인용출을 2-3배 증가시켰다.

본 시험은 어린모, 중묘 등 묘령에 따른 쌀겨 시용 시기가 친환경 재배에 있어서 제초 효과와 벼의 수량 및 수량구성요소 그리고 더 나아가 미질에 미치는 영향을 구명코자 실시하였다. 1. 쌀겨 처리후 토양내 산화환원 전위차는 급격히 떨어져 심한 환원 상태로 변하였으며, 쌀겨 시용구에서는 쌀겨 살포 직후 1~2 일 사이에 용존산소량이 급격히 줄어드는 경향을 보였다. 2. 쌀겨 시용구 중에서는 이앙전 5일 시용에서 잡초 본수 및 잡초 건물중이 가장 적거나 가벼워 잡초 발생이 상당히 억제되었으며, 이앙 후 늦게 살포할수록 잡초 발생량은 늘어났다. 3. 쌀겨 처리시기에 따른 수량은 이앙전 5일 시용에서 관행시비와 수량이 비슷하였으나, 이앙후 표면처리에서는 수량이 현저히 감수되었다. 4. 쌀겨 시용 시기에 따른 처리별 완전미 비율은 쌀겨 처리구에서 관행재배에 비해 높았고, 단백질 함량은 쌀겨 처리구에서 대체로 낮았다. 식미치는 완전미 비율이 높았고, 단백질 함량이 낮았던 쌀겨 시용구에서 관행재배에 비해 2~8 정도 높았다.

The response of dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations caused significant change in root number, root length, coleoptile length, shoot length and leaf age of seedlings. The genotypic difference in the effect of DO also highly significant (P<0.01) for all of the seedling traits. The number and length of root were extremely inhibited at the condition of 0.39~pm0.09 DO concentration. While the coleoptile elongated markedly in the lowest DO concentrations, the shoot did not develop. The root growth was improved slightly at the 1.39~pm0.27mg L-1 , however, there were no difference among genotypes at these two low DO concentrations. As the DO concentration become higher, the growth of root and shoot was improved remarkably. Root number, root length and shoot length was significantly different between 20~;and~;30~circC in DO rich and normal conditions, the development of those traits were apparently accelerated in high water temperature, however those traits of seedlings in DO deficiency were not different between the two temperatures except for shoot length. On the other hand the coleoptile length was not affected by the stagnant water temperature; it was stimulated by the low DO concentration. The competition of DO was greater as the seedling density was increased in the stagnant water, therefore the seedlings grown under high density have long and white coleoptiles, and the growth of roots and shoots was retarded severely.
