Bacterial distributions in the southern coastal sea area of Korea

To know the degree polluted with organic materials in Southern coastal sea of Korea the distributions of total bacteria and pathogenic bacteria of surface water were investigated on 42 sites from 19th to 23rd of August, 1996. And temperature, salinity and chlorophylls were observed in same sites too. The number of viable bacterium was 65 to 2300CFUs/ml. The sea was divided into four areas for convenience’. An average number of bacteria in B area between Namhaedo and Kohung peninsula was 578.9CFUs/ml showing the most polluted of them, and D area of open sea was lowest of 179.2 CFUs/ml. However, the area contaminated with pathogenic bacteria was A between Namhae and Kojedo with 9.6~10.6% of pathogenic to total bacteria. The range of temperatures was 26~29℃ and cold water masses showed around Komundo, Sorido, and Kojedo. The salinity was 28 to 33‰ and the content of chlorophylls was below 4.1㎍/l.
