정미희,윤석현,Chung, Mi Hee,Youn, Seok-Hyun 한국해양학회 2013 바다 Vol.18 No.4

상류지역의 보 건설과 준설작업이 이루어지고 있던 2011년 1월부터 2012년 10월까지 낙동강, 하구 및 연안역에 걸쳐 식물플랑크톤 군집의 변화양상을 이해하고자 14개 정점에서 총 12회의 조사를 실시하였다. 조사시기동안 낙동강 유역의 월 누적 강수량은 0~502mm 이었다. 강유역은 표 저층 모두에서 해수의 영향이 없었고, 하구역 정점에서는 0.1~34.8 psu의 범위로 강우의 영향으로 염분 변동폭이 컸으며, 연안역에서는 홍수기인 7-8월을 제외하고는 대부분 정점에서 30 psu이상의 염분 특성을 보였다. 식물플랑크톤은 총 402종이 분류 동정되었으며 강유역에서는 178종, 하구 및 연안역에서는 331종이 출현하였다. 식물플랑크톤 현존량은 강유역, 하구역, 연안역 순으로 감소하였으며, 2011년에 비해 2012년에 높게 나타났다. 출현빈도와 우점률 측면에서 전체 조사 수역의 상위 20종은 Stephanodiscus spp., Aulacoseira granulata, Aulacoseira var. angustissima, Pseudo-nitzschia spp.의 순었으며, 중요 분류군은 규조류인 것으로 나타났다. 계절별 각각의 정점에서 가장 우점비율이 높았던 종은 2011년(13종)에 비해 2012년(10종)에 다소 단순화되는 경향을 보였다. 식물플랑크톤 종다양성지수는 조사 연도별로는 큰 차이가 없었으나, 강 및 하구에 비해 연안이 다소 높은 것으로 나타났다. 유사도에 의한 군집분석을 이용해 식물플랑크톤의 군집변화를 살펴보면 2011년은 조사시기에 따라 다양한 군집구조가 나타난 반면 2012년은 군집구조의 변화가 크지 않고 단순화 된 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같이 2011년에 비해 전반적으로 높아진 식물플랑크톤의 현존량, 단순화된 우점종의 수 및 군집구조 등은 낙동강 유역의 급격한 환경변화로 인한 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구에서 다루지 못했던 낙동강-하구-연안의 영양염 분포, 담수유출 및 범위의 변화 등에 따른 식물플랑크톤을 포함한 생물군집의 통합적 분석이 함께 수행되어야 할 것으로 생각된다. To understand the changing patterns in phytoplankton communities, we conducted 12 surveys along the Nakdong River, its estuary, and adjacent coastal areas between January 2011 and October 2012 (during the period of barrage construction and sediment dredging). Monthly precipitation ranged from 0 to 502 mm during the survey period, and salinity ranged between 0.1 psu and 0.3 psu in the Nakdong River, regardless of the depth, indicating no seawater influence, while salinity showed large seasonal fluctuations in the estuarine and coastal station, ranging from 0.1 psu to 34.8 psu. A total of 402 phytoplankton species were identified, 178 species from the river and 331 species from the estuary and coastal areas. Phytoplankton standing crop increased in 2012 compared to that in 2011, and was found to be highest in the river, followed by the estuary and coastal areas. Among the top 20 species in frequency of occurrence and dominance, Stephanodiscus spp., Aulacoseira granulata, and Aulacoseira granulata var. angustissima and Pseudo-nitzschia spp. were important species along the river-estuary-coastal areas. Diatoms were the major taxonomic group inhabiting the Nakdong river-estuary-coastal areas. A comparison of seasonal dominant phytoplankton species revealed a slight decrease over the years, from 13 species in 2011 to 10 species in 2012. However, no significant difference was found in the diversity of phytoplankton species between the two survey years, although lightly greater diversity was observed in the coastal areas than in the river and estuary. Cluster analysis with community composition data revealed that the community structure varied significantly in 2011 depending on the time of survey, while in 2012, it hardly showed any variation and was simpler. An increase in the phytoplankton standing crop, fewer dominant species, and simpler community structure in 2012 compared to those in 2011 are probably due to the rapid environmental changes along the Nakdong River. To investigate these ecological relationships, it is necessary to conduct further studies focusing on integrated analyses of biocenosis, including phytoplankton with respect to the changes in nutrient distribution, variation of freshwater discharge, and effect area of freshwater in the Nakdong estuary and adjacent coastal areas.

정미희,윤석현,윤원득,Chung, Mi-Hee,Youn, Seok-Hyun,Yoon, Won-Duk 한국해양학회 2012 바다 Vol.17 No.1

기후변화, 수산자원 남획, 연안 간척 및 방조제 건설 등으로 인한 해양환경 변화는 해파리의 잦은 출현과 대량발생을 유발하고 있으며, 결과적으로 해양생태계 파괴, 수산업붕괴, 행락객 해파리 쏘임사고 발생 등 국가적 규모의 사회경제문제를 야기시키고 있다. 해파리로 인한 피해를 경험한 다수의 국가들은 해파리를 관리하기 위한 방법을 마련하는데 많은 투자를 하고 있을 뿐만 아니라, 더 나아가 해파리를 이용할 수 있는 방법을 모색하고 있다. 우리나라에서는 현재 해파리 대량발생을 막기 위한 생리 생태 연구와 해파리 구제를 중심으로 연구가 진행 중에 있다. 유럽 연합은 해파리 대량발생의 원인과 조절, 통합관리를 위한 연구를 수행중이며, 미국은 한 부처를 지정하여 수산자원 보전 및 보호를 목적으로 해파리를 관리하고 있다. 일본은 부처 및 연구기관의 지정으로 짧은 시간에 많은 분야에서 괄목할만한 성과를 거두었으며, 특히 해파리 이동과 대량발생 예측에 관하여 심도 있는 연구를 진행하고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 국내외 연구방향을 비교하여 1) 통합연구시스템의 설치와 관리방안 마련, 2) 해파리에 대한 접근방식의 개선, 3) 적극적인 교육과 정보의 제공이라는 세 가지 정책 방향을 제시하였다. 본 연구 결과는 해파리뿐만 아니라 기타 유해해양생물의 정책적 대처 방안에도 기본적으로 필요한 대안이 될 수 있을 것으로 기대해 본다. The frequency and abundance of jellyfish, presumably related with climate change, fisheries overexploitation, marine pollution including land reclamation and dyke construction, are increasing worldwide. This feature has attracted interest and concerns from general public and public officials, and government is seeking how the damages could be prevented or reduced down. Korean government, having recent huge blooms of jellyfish, engaged in reducing and/or countermeasuring jellyfish damages. Korean research themes include ecology and physiology of blooming jellyfish species, understanding of the blooming mechanism, and focus on the eradication of blooming jellyfish, without governmental integrative management plan. EU is undertaking scientific projects focused on understanding of the mechanism and control of jellyfish blooms, and establishment of an integrative management. In USA, government has established the code on jellyfish management for conserving and protecting the fish and shellfish resources and one of its department is specially assigned to monitor jellyfish appearance, undertake research, and prepare management plan. Japan also assigned a department and research institute for jellyfish research. Their main interest is to predict jellyfish drifting and mass bloom. Compared to Korea, USA, EU and Japan emphasize integrative management that includes ecological understanding, public education and outreaches, communication and control, if possible, of jellyfish blooms, based on scientific data. We suggest then, 1) establishment of an integrative scientific system consisting of policy and scientific experts to prepare inter-ministrial integrative management plan to effectively combat jellyfish blooms and to maximize the scientific result; 2) concept change from harmful to exploitable marine animal in policy making and research; and 3) active education and information service for people. We expect that these suggestions can be useful for jellyfish management and policy making on another harmful marine organisms.

Zostera속 해초에 부착하는 규조류의 부착 특성과 해초 종별 군집 변화

부착규조류는 초기 부착 생물로서 부착 천이과정에서 부착성 박테리아 층 위 해초 잎 표면 맨 아래 층에 부착함으로써 잎 표면의 미세 지형을 결정하고 다른 부착 생물에게 알맞은 부착환경을 제공해 주는 중요 생물로 부착 기질과의 상호 작용에 대한 연구는 부착 생물 생태 연구에 기초적인 연구라고 할 수 있다. 부착규조류가 해초에 부착 서식하는 형태는 크게 3가지로 나눌 수 있으며 1) 해초 잎 세포에 평행하게 또는 세포 변형을 통한 부착 2) 해초 잎 끝부분에 주로 밀집하여 서식 3) 잎의 끝에서 2차 부착 규조류인 줄기를 이용한 규조류보다 1차 부착규조류인 타원형의 규조류 밀집 지역이 많은 것이었다. 또한, 해초의 종별 규조류의 부착 군집 변화를 살펴보면 우선 길이와 너비의 차이가 많으나 세포의 모양이나 크기가 비슷한 Z. marina와 Z. japonica는 규조류의 출현종수, 현존량, 우점종의 차이가 컸던 반면 길이와 너비는 비슷하나 세포의 모양과 크기가 다른 Z. marina와 Z. caespitosa의 경우에는 규조류의 출현종수, 현존량, 우점종이 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 해초의 미세지형이 될 수 있는 세포의 모양보다 해초의 길이와 너비 등 외형의 차이가 부착규조류 군집 변화의 주요 원인인 것으로 나타났다. Epiphytic diatoms are very important organisms in the seagrass ecosystem because their colonization on leaves increases microtopography and provides attachment sites that make the leaves more hospitable for other epiphytes. Epiphytic diatoms were attached to the leaves in the following 3 manners: (1) parallel to the cells of the seagrass leaf or by molding the shape of the diatom along the cell shape of the leaf; (2) with increasing diatom density toward the leaf tip; (3) Cocconeis species as attaching species than the Naviculoid species as the second attaching species on the leaf tip. In addition, the epiphytic diatom communities on Zostera marina leaves differed from those on the Zostera japonica leaves, but were very similar to the epiphytic communities on Zostera caespitosa leaves. Our results suggest that the epiphytic community on seagrass leaves varied according to the leaf shape such as leaf length and width, but the leaf cell shape or size did not influence the dynamics of the diatom communities.

This was the second study on the ecological characteristics of the epiphytes on seagrass leaf. The objective of this study was to understand the variation of epiphytes on seagrass leaf depending on the change of physico-chemical factors such as salinity, nutrients, and etc. This study showed the four results. 1) The eelgrass growth was influenced by water temperature, suggesting the positive correlation between eelgrass growth and water temperature. 2) The epiphytes growth on seagrass leaves did not show the correlation with water temperature, but negatively correlated with salinity. 3) The eelgrass growth decreased when the concentraion of nitrogen increased. 4) However, loads of epiphytes increased when the concentration of total nitogen (TN), nitrate (NO3-), and nitrite (NO2-) were high. This increase of epiphytes growth could be suggested in the cause-effect pathway of nutrient enrichment leading to seagrasses loss.

This study was conducted to evaluate both temporal and spatial dynamics of phytoplankton community and environmental parameters in a newly made reclaimed esturine lake (L. Hwaong). Monthly sampling was conducted at 4 sites covering the longest transact of longitudinal gradient of the lake from June to November, 2002. Total 5 classes 8 orders 26 families 63 genus 192 species were identified at all study sites during the study period. Phytoplankton total cell density ranged 24~1,882 cells mL^(-1) and highly varied both temporally and spatially. Total cell density was significantly related with salinity, pH, BOD, COD, SS, TN and TP concentration. Diatom density also was significantly correlated with salinity, SS, BOD, COD and TN concentration. Although there was spatial difference, a longtudinal gradient appeared in phytoplankton cell density, Chl-α, TN and TP concentration from the mouth of river in June and August. In conclusion, phytoplakton community structure was dominated by diatoms (Bacillariophyceae), and appeared to be largely influenced by salinity, precipitation, and nutrients during the summer and the fall.

The relationships among total epiphytes, algal epiphytes and eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) were studied at eelgrass medows from July, 1998 to July, 1999 in Yulim ri, Yeosu, Korea. Epiphytic diatoms on eelgrass leaves were observed from July to December 1998. From the results of this study, we inferred the following three (3) conclusions: 1) As eelgrass grew older, biomass of epiphytes increased, according to relationships between the leaf length and area of eelgrass and biomass (DW, AFDW and Chl. a) of epiphytes. 2) According to the ratio of dry weight, ash free dry weight and Chlorophyll of epiphytes, the algae with calcareous or siliceous skeletons, such as coralline algae or diatoms, were dominated in the epitphytic algae community. 3) The autotrophic index (AI) calculated from AFDW and Chl. a of epiphytes varied from 151 to 375. However, the period of autotrophic community was shorter than heterotrophic community and the value of AI was high. From these results, we inferred that heterotrophic community, including detritus or microorganisms were dominated in the most of research period.

이 연구는 성전강 하구역의 계절별 동풍플랑크톤 분포 특성과 주요 요각류 우점종의 생산력을 파악하기 위하여 2009년 5월부터 2010년 2월까지 계절별로 섬진강 하구역에서 염분경사를 고려한 10개 정점을 대상으로 수행되었다. 조사기간 동안 출현한 동물플랑크톤 군집은 총 31개 분류군으로 구성되었으며, 계절별 평균 출현 개체수는 $4,151\;ind.{\cdot}m^{-3}$이다. 평수기 조사수역의 동물플랑크톤은 연안성 동물플랑크톤이 주로 출현하였으나, 풍수기에는 기수성 동물플랑크톤의 출현이 하구역 중 상류에서 집중되었다. 현장실험을 통해 얻어진 Acartia spp.와 Paracalanus parvus s.l.의 성장률은 수온과 염분 변화에 의해 조절되는 것으로 나타났다. 우점 요각류를 대상으로 계산된 섬진강 하구역의 연간 요각류 생산력은 $3.49\;g\;C{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}yr^{-1}$로 비교적 높은 생산력을 보였으며, 이처럼 섬진강 하구역의 동물플랑크톤 생산력이 높은 것은 높은 식물플랑크톤 현존량을 바탕으로 다양한 염분 범위에 따른 연안종과 기수종의 다량 출현 때문으로 판단된다. Zooplankton community structure and copepod production in Seomjin River estuary were investigated at 10 stations along the salinity gradients from May 2009 to February 2010. Total zooplankton taxa were identified to be 31 in the study area and seasonal average abundance of zooplankton was $4,151\;ind.{\cdot}m^{-3}$ during the study period. Zooplankton community was mainly composed of coastal species in dry season. However, brackish species dominated in upper or middle part of this estuary in flood season. This study showed that the growth rates of Acartia spp. and Paracalanus parvus s.l. measured from field experiments were regulated by the variations of Hater temperature and salinity; The annual copepod production estimated by dominant copepod species was $3.49\;g\;C{\cdot}m^{-2}yr^{-1}$, and the relatively high production value could be explained by the high phytoplankton standing stocks and the mass occurrence of coastal and brackish species with relation to various salinity gradients in Seomjin River estuary.

동해 남부 연안 해역에서 냉수대 발생이 식물플랑크톤 군집에 미치는 영향

김아람,윤석현,정미희,윤상철,문창호,Kim, A-Ram,Youn, Seok-Hyun,Chung, Mi-Hee,Yoon, Sang-Chol,Moon, Chang-Ho 한국해양학회 2014 바다 Vol.19 No.4

냉수대 발생 전 후의 해양 환경과 식물플랑크톤 군집 구조 및 크기를 파악을 위해 여름철 빈번하게 냉수대가 발생되는 동해 남부 해역(울산 정자~부산 일광) 18개 정점에서 2013년 5월부터 8월까지 냉수대 발생 환경 및 식물플랑크톤 군집 구조를 조사하였다. 냉수대는 7월과 8월에 연안 정점(A1, B1, C1)에서 발생하였고, 표층에서 저온 고염의 특성을 보였다. 이 시기에 영양염은 수온과 유의한 음의 상관관계(DIP, r=-0.218, p<0.01; DIN, r=-0.306, p<0.01; silicate, r=-0.274, p<0.01)를 보여, 찬 해수가 분포하는 표층에 영양염이 풍부함을 알 수 있었다. 출현한 식물플랑크톤은 총 186종이었고, 현존량은 5월(C1, $726{\times}10^3cells\;L^{-1}$)과 7월(A1, $539{\times}10^3cells\;L^{-1}$)에 높았다. 또한, 연안 정점에서 총 chl. a 와 소형플랑크톤 chl. a ($>20{\mu}m$)의 농도가 냉수대 발생 시기인 7, 8월에 뚜렷하게 증가한 반면, 수온약층이 형성된 6월에는 현저하게 낮았다. 6월의 우점종은 Pseudo-nitzschia spp.이었고, 그 세포 크기는 $309{\mu}m^3$로 다른 시기의 식물플랑크톤의 1/10 수준에 머무는 작은 크기였다. 이러한 결과는 7월과 8월에 총 chl. a의 증가와 식물플랑크톤의 크기 증가가 냉수대 발생 시에 표층으로 공급된 영양염의 영향임을 시사한다. 이러한 해양 환경 특성과 식물플랑크톤 출현양상은 연안 정점에서 뚜렷하게 보였고, 외측 정점에서는 관찰되지 않았다. 이 연구에서는 동해 남부 해역에서 냉수대가 발생하면 식물플랑크톤의 현존량 증가와 더불어 비교적 크기가 큰 식물플랑크톤의 출현 빈도가 증가하는 현상을 확인하였다. 결과적으로 하계에도 불구하고 동해 남부 연안 해역에서 냉수대 발생에 따른 영양염 공급은 식물플랑크톤 군집조성과 현존량에 상당한 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다. In order to understand environment condition and phytoplankton community before and after coastal upwelling, the influences of upwelling events on phytoplankton community were studied at 18 stations located the Southern part of East Sea, Korea from May to August 2013. The surface water masses showed low temperature and high salinity due to upwelling events at coastal stations (A1, B1, C1). Correlation between temperature and nutrients (DIP, r=-0.218, p<0.01; DIN, r=-0.306, p<0.01; silicate, r=-0.274, p<0.01) was significantly negative. This result could be explained that nutrients were supplied to surface water by the upwelling of bottom water. Phytoplankton communities were composed of 186 species. Phytoplankton abundance were relatively high in May (C1, $726{\times}10^3cells\;L^{-1}$) and July (A1, $539{\times}10^3cells\;L^{-1}$). Total chlorophyll a and micro-size fraction ($>20{\mu}m$) increased at coastal stations in July and August, while phytoplankton abundance and total chl. a was much low in June. Dominant species in June was Pseudo-nitzschia spp. of which the cell size was $309{\mu}m^3$. Cell size of Pseudo-nitzschia spp. was smaller than dominant species in other period. Therefore, the increase in total chloro-phyll a and the size of phytoplankton was resulted in the sufficient supply of nutrients. In contrast, these tendencies were not observed at outside stations. These results suggested that coastal upwelling was an important influencing factor to determine the species composition and standing stock of phytoplankton community in the coastal waters of the Southern part of East Sea, Korea.

추자도 조간대 해조류의 종조성과 생물량

The marine benthic algal flora and biomass of Chuja Island, southern coast of Korea, was investigated. The collections of intertidal marine algae were made at two sites, Yecho of Hachujado and Hupo of Sangchujado, from October 2006 to July 2007. A total of 162 species, including 15 green, 47 brown and 100 red algae, were identified in this study. The occurrence of species according to season was abundant during spring to summer and less in autumn. The vertical distribution of intertidal zone in Chujado was characterized by Gloiopeltis spp., Myelophycus simplex, Ishige okamurae, Chondrus ocellatus, Grateloupia elliptica, Hizikia fusiformis and Sargassum spp. The average biomass of macroalgae was measured as 400 g wet wt m$^{-2}$. The dominant species based on the biomass were Sargassum yezoense, S. coreanum and Hizikia fusiformis. ESG II (ecological state group) as an opportunistic species, including sheet form, filamentous form, and coarsely branched form, occurred 85.8% in the intertidal seaweeds. These results provide a baseline for future monitoring studies in the Chuja Island.

Field observations and culture experiments have been carried out during the rainy season (on the 6th, 8th and 27th July 2009) to examine changes in the primary productivity and associated plant pigments in the estuary of the Seom-jin River. Primary productivity was determined at four sampling stations along the salinity gradient. On 6th July (before heavy rain) primary productivity ranged from 689~1,169 mgC m-2 d-1. On the 8th, just after more than 216.5 mm of precipitation, euphotic layers at all stations were reduced to very shallow water because of the high concentration of suspended solids in the water. This resulted in dramatically decreased primary productivity down to as low as 12~32 mg C m-2 d-1. However, after the rain, primary productivity on the 27th ranged from 266~999 mgC m-2 d-1, demonstrating a fast recovery in the upper stream water to similar productivity levels to those before the rainy season. Concentration of fucoxanthin in the water was highest on the 6th July. Before the rain, concentration of the zeaxanthin, increased as the salinity decreased. Immediately after the heavy rain, the Chl b (Chlorophytes) concentration was higher at all sites than before the rainy season. The concentration of fucoxanthin decreased after the heavy rain. At the downstream site, peridinin (Dinoflagellates) were found. During the rainy season, the diatoms contributed to the primary productivity at all sites. However, after the rainy season, Chl b (Chlorophytes) and Peridinin (Dinoflagellates) increased, demonstrating the enhanced contribution of those species in addition to diatoms.
