해수층의 염분 변화가 일차생산자와 상위소비자의 크기구조에 미치는 영향 = Effect of Salinity Change on Biological Structure between Primary Producers and Herbivores in Water Column

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Samples were collected to investigate the effect of salinity change on biological interaction between primary producers and herbivores in water column of the Youngsan estuary (Mokpo Harbor) at 8 stations from October 2003 to September 2004. The highest river freshwater inputs were introduced into the estuary from the Youngsan dike during summer (June and July 2004). Ranges of salinity were between 6 and 28.9 psu when the gates of dike were open whereas the ranges were between 24.4 and 30.3 psu when the gates were closed. Algal bloom occurred in February and July when the gates were not open at the upper region of the Youngsan estuary and the bloom was dominated $(70\%)$ by large cells of phytoplankton $(micro-sized;>20{\mu}m).\;Nano-sized (2-20{\mu}m)$ and pico-sized phytoplankton $(<2{\mu}m)$ were dominant in October, November 2003, June, August and September 2004 when the gates were open suggesting that size structure was affected by river discharge from the dike. Micro-and meso-zooplankton (herbivores) displayed the similar pattern to that of phytoplankton. The biomass of zooplankton was higher when the gates were closed than when the gates open and also the biomass was higher at the upper region of the harbor system. This results suggest that freshwater inputs affect size structure and biomass of phytoplankton by changing salinity, nutrient inputs, turbidity or light level In water column resulting in the change of the interaction between primary producters and herbivores in the Youngsan estuary.

영산강 하구(목포항)해역에서 해수층의 염분 변화가 1차 생산자와 상위 소비자와의 연계성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 2003년 10월부터 2004년 9월까지 매월 8개 조사정점에서 수문 개폐 여부에 따라 개방시와 비개방시로 나누어서 현장조사를 실시하였다. 영산강 하구둑으로부터 배출되어지는 담수 유입량은 강우가 집중되었던 (여름철인) 6월과 7월에 가장 많은 양의 담수가 항내로 유입되었다. 수문 개방시 표층 염분 분포는 $6\~28.9$ psu로 수문비 개방시의 $24.4\~30.3psu$ 보다 큰 차이를 보였으며, 광소멸 계수$(K_d)$ 또한 수문 개방시에 높아 탁도가 높음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 조사 기간 동안 대발생(bloom)은 하구언 수문을 개방하지 않은 2월, 5월, 7월에 내항에서 발생하였으며, 대형식물플랑크톤이 $70\%$이상의 점유율을 보이며 우점하였다. 중형과 소형식물플랑크톤이 하구언 수문 개방일인 2003년 10월, 11월, 2004년 6월, 8월, 9월에 전체 식물플랑크톤에 대하여 높은 기여율을 보여 수문 개폐에 따라 크기 구조가 변화되었다. 수문 개방시 소형과 중형동물플랑크톤은 수문을 개방하지 않았을 때 보다 낮은 생체량 분포를 보였으며, 공간적으로는 외항보다 내항에서 다소 높은 생체량 분포를 보였다. 동물플랑크톤의 분포는 전반적으로 식물플랑크톤의 생체량 분포와 비슷한 경향을 보였다 따라서 수문 개폐에 따른 염분, 영양염 유입, 탁도 혹은 광량등의 환경인자가 1차생산자의 생체량 및 크기 구조에 영향을 주고 상위소비자인 동물플랑크톤의 생체량 분포에도 영향을 미치어 결국 두 생물들간의 연계성 변화를 초래할 수 있음을 시사한다.
