Abstract

The trophic state of the coastal waters of the southern part of Korea was assessed using biogeochemical data obtained from the National Marine Environmental Monitoring Program conducted by the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute for six years. The trophic state of different areas, analyzed by non-metric multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) analysis, could divide the areas into three groups. Masan Bay, with suboxic water masses and/or the highest concentrations of dissolved inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus occurred, was assessed as being in a hypertrophic state. Ulsan Bay, Onsan Bay, Busan and Jinhae Bay, located near strong point sources, were in a eutrophic state. Other areas, including Tongyong, Yosu, Mokpo and Jeju island, were evaluated as being in a mesotrophic state. During 1997 to 2002, the average values of excess nitrogen, which is the difference between the measured dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and the corrected DIN using the Redfield ratio, were positive at Ulsan, Onsan, and Busan, where there were inflows from polluted rivers. In contrast, those were negative values in Haengam Bay, Gwangyang Bay and nearby Yosu. This suggests that the limiting element for phytoplankton growth differed among sites. The time series data of excess nitrogen showed gradual decrease over time in the hypertrophic waters, but the opposite trend in the mesotrophic waters. This indicated that the ratio of nitrogen to phosphate varied according to the trophic state of the coastal waters. The enrichment of organic matter in sediment in eutrophic waters would disturb the normal pattern of biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen and phosphate. In order to assess the condition of the coastal environment, the benthic boundary layer should be considered.

국립수산과학원에서 수행한 국가해양환경측정망 운영 결과 중 생지화학적 자료를 이용하여 (1997∼2002, 6년간) 한국 남해 연안의 영양상태를 평가하였다. 비행열 다차원 척도법 분석결과로 남해연안은 3개의 영양 상태로 구분되었다. 빈산소 수괴가 형성되며 용존성 무기질소와 인농도가 매우 높은 마산만은 과영양 상태였으며, 강한 점원 오염원이 있는 울산만, 온산만, 부산 연안, 진해만은 부영양 상태로 추정되었다. 그리고 그 외 여수, 통영 , 목포 주변 연안과 제주도 연안은 중영양 상태로 나타났다. 실측 용존무기질소와 Redfield 비로 보정된 이론적 용존무기질소의 차이인 과잉 질소의 6년간 평균은 오염된 하천이 유입되는 울산, 온산, 부산 연안에서 큰 양의 값을 보였고 행암, 광양, 여수 연안이 음의 값을 나타내어 기초생산자의 성장 제한 물질이 서로 다르게 작용할 수 있음을 시사하고 있다. 또한 과잉 용존무기질소는 시계열 분석 결과 과-부영양화된 해역에서 점차 감소하였으나 중영양 해역은 점차 증가하고 있어 해역의 영양상태에 따라 질소 대 인의 비가 변화하고 있었다. 과-부영양화의 진행에 따른 저층 퇴적물의 유기물 오염은 질소와 인의 생지화학적 순환을 교란시킬 것으로 예상되며, 향후 더욱 정확한 연안 환경영향을 파악하기 위해서는 저층 경계면의 연구가 반드시 포함되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.
