Temporal and spatial distributions of organic matter were surveyed in the brackish region of Lake Sihwa, an artificial lake formed by the construction of dike for the land uses of industry, habitation, and agriculture, in the mid-west coast of Kyunggi Province, Korea. Chemical oxygen demand (CODMn) in the form of dissolved (DCOD) and particulate(PCOD calculated by total COD-DCOD) was measured at seven stations in the brackish region, showing the vertical and spatial fluctuations of 0.1~29‰, at two week intervals from March to November 2005 and at one month intervals March to November 2006. COD concentrations varied seasonally and spatially ranging from 1.9 to 47.2 mg/L during the study period, showing high values in spring and at middle area with temporally and vertically high fluctuations of salinity. The ratio of DCOD:PCOD varied from 0.2 to 43.1 (mean = 2.4, n = 182). The ratio was low in the middle area in March and April 2005 and 2006 when algal bloom (red tide) occurred, implying that algal bloom affected directly the increase of PCOD in these season. Really, chlorophyll a concentration was positively correlated(r=0.88) at the middle area during the study period. Consequently, autochthonous origin appears to be a more important organic matter production in the brackish region of Lake Sihwa, especially at the middle area showing the limitation of vertical mixing due to the strong chemocline. |
