This study was carried out to elucidate the development of unprecedented water-bloom caused by a single species of colonial green algae Eudorina elegans in the upstream area of the Seungchon weir located in the Yeongsan River from late April to May 2013. The Yeongsan River is typically regulated system and the waterbody is seriously enriched by both external and internal sources of nutrients. Seasonal algal outbreaks were highly probable due to various potential factors, such as the excessive nutrients contained in treated wastewater, slow current, high irradiation and temperature, in diatom (winter), green algae (spring) and bluegreen algae (summer). Spring green-tide was attributed to E. elegans with level up to 1,000 mg m-3 (>50×104 cells mL-1). The bloom was exploded in the initial period of the algal development and after then gradually diminished with transporting to the downstream by the intermittent rainfall, resulting in rapid expansion of the distribution range. Although the pulsed-flows by the weir manipulation was applied to control algal bloom, they were not the countermeasures to solve the underlying problem, but rather there still was a remaining problem related to the impact of pulsed-flows on the downstream. The green-tide of E. elegans in this particular region of the Yeongsan River revealed the blooming characteristics of a colonial motile microalga, and fate of vanishing away by the succeeding episodic events of mesoscale rainfall. We believe that the results of the present study contribute to limno-ecological understanding of the green-tide caused by blue-green algae in the four major rivers, Korea.

본 연구에서는 설치어도조사법을 적용하여 한강 하류부 잠실수중보의 회유성 어류 이동을 위해 설치된 계단식 어도에 대해 어류소상기능을 조사하고 피 개선방안을 제시하였다. 조사기간 동안에 어도 출구에서 채집된 어도이용 소상어류는 체장이 29cm 이상인 강준치가 361개체로서 대부분을 차지하였으며, 그 강준치에 대한 소상능력은 최대 2.53 개체/hr/g으로 나타났다. 잠실수중보의 계단식 어도는 한강에 서식하는 어류의 다양성을 만족시키기 어려운 형태일 뿐만 아
