정익교,강윤향,Chung, Ik-Kyo,Kang, Yoon-Hyang The Korean Society of Oceanography 1995 韓國海洋學會誌 Vol.30 No.6

A picophytoplankton has been isolated from the western channel of the Korea Strait. The cell was isolated by dilution method. It is about 2 ${\mu}m$ in diameter and has smooth surface. Organelles of nucleus, chloroplasts, mitochondrion, Golgi body, pyrenoids, vacuoles and lipid bodies are identified. Pigments are composed of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b, ${\beta}$-carotene and other xanthophylls. Based on the ultrastructural features and pigment composition, it may belong to chlorococcalean picoplankton.

Long-term and systematic monitoring of phytoplankton is important, as phytoplankton serve as indicators of water quality status in aquatic environments. In the present study, the plankton community structure of the Nakdong River estuary over the past 30 years was investigated by literature survey to provide references for the occurrence of planktonic species. A total of 876 species from 18 taxonomic lineages were reported and, among them, 569 species were identified to occur seasonally at the Mulgeum, Seonam and Eulsukdo sites. Diatoms and chlorophytes were dominant in the microscopic studies. The 54 species at the Mulgeum and the 96 species at the Eulsukdo sites have not been reported since the river barrage construction in 1987. The majority of reports speculate that there has been a change in the aquatic environment, particularly the plankton community structure, due to operation of a river barrage since 1987.

The structure and seasonality of phytoplankton community were investigated in the region of the Naktong River Mouth in 1992-1993 period. The phytoplankton species composition in the main stream of the Nakdong River followed a large lowland and nutrient rich river`s pattern which was dominated by centric diatoms throughout the year and by green algae during the summer. Blue green algae were important in the West-Nakdong stream. The composition of dominant species at the station Dadaepo was quite similar to those found at the freshwater stations Kupo and Eulsukdo. This may be caused by the sampling strategy in which the tidal cycle was not considered and the artificial influence of the physical water mixing process of the opening of the gates on the algal flora. The chlorophyll-a content went beyond the hypertrophic level in the Nakdong River mouth. The values of diversity indices were very low and values of dominance indices were very high. The nutrient concentration in the Nakdong River mouth had shown severe fluctuations in the seasons of before and after barrage construction however, the nutrient concentration has kept high since the year of 1991. The high concentration of nutrient in the Nakdong River mouth may be caused by the waste discharge, stagnation of water, the decomposition of detritus, which was derived from the aquatic macrophytes, the introduction of agricultural fertilizer from surrounding rice field, nitrification and nutrient release from sediment. The characteristic phenomenon in the West-Nakdong stream was the blooming by blue green algae, Microcystis aeruginosa during the summer. Therefore, it is necessary to continuously monitor the phytoplankton community structure in this area throughout season.

The seasonal variation of marine algal biomass and community were studied with nondestructive sampling and quadrat method during May 2006 to April 2008 in the intertidal and subtidal zone at Yokjido. As result, total 120 species, 13 Chlorophyta, 34 Phaeophyta, 71 Rhodophyta and 2 Spermatophyta were identified in this study. The major species which contributed significantly to the total biomass were Ulva pertusa, Undaria pinnatifida, Ecklonia stolonifera, Sargassum horneri, S. serratifolium, Gelidium amansii and Prionitis cornea. The mean biomass was 235.5 g wet wt m$^{-2}$ in intertidal, 1,038.9 g wet wt m$^{-2}$ in 1 m, 1,013.1 g wet wt m$^{-2}$ in 5 m, and 19.7 g wet wt m$^{-2}$ in 10 m depths of mean sea level. Seasonal biomass change in intertidal zone, the peak season was in spring, while the lowest was in autumn. The vertical distribution of marine vegetation was characterized by Ulva pertusa - Gelidium divaricatum - Gloiopeltis furcata - Sargassum thunbergii - Hizikia fusiformis at intertidal zone, and Caulerpa okamurae - Gelidium amansii - Chondrus ocellatus - Ecklonia stolonifera - Sargassum horneri - Gracilaria textorii at subtidal zone. These result indicates that the marine algal species and biomass of 1 m and 5 m depths in subtidal zone are greater than intertidal zone, and Ecklonia stolonifera and Sargassum spp. are the dominant species of Yokjido.

Benthic diatoms are very important primary producers in understanding estuary ecosystems and their productions are largely varied by their photo-physiological characteristics. The short-term effects of increased temperature on the photosynthetic and photo-physiological characteristics of cultured different species of benthic diatoms (Navicula sp., Nitzschia sp., Cylindrotheca closterium, and Pleurosigma elongatum) were investigated by measuring their PSII-fluorescence kinetics using a Diving-PAM. Photosynthesis versus irradiance curves were measured every two hours at six different temperatures (10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and $35^{\circ}C$) for twenty-four hour. The effective quantum yield of PSII ($\Phi_{PSII}$) for most of the species showed a decreasing trend with increased temperature. The relative maximum electron transport rate (rETRmax) was significantly increased up to the optimum temperature level and then sharply decreased. Relative to the values of other parameters, the maximum light use coefficient ($\alpha$) was not substantially changed at lower temperature levels (<$30^{\circ}C$) but significantly decreased only at higher temperatures (30 and $35^{\circ}C$). The light saturation coefficient ($E_K$) mirrored the rETRmax temperature response. In regards to the temperature acclimation abilities of the four species with time, Navicula sp. and C. closterium acclimated to short-term changes in temperature through their photo-physiological adjustments. 저서규조류는 하구역 먹이망을 이해하는 데 중요한 생물로서 그들의 광생리 특성에 따라 일차생산력이 크게 변화한다. 본 연구에서는 단기간 온도 변화가 저서규조류 4종(Navicula sp., Nitzschia sp., Cylindrotheca closterium, Pleurosigma elongatum)의 광합성 반응에 미치는 영향을 Diving PAM을 이용한 엽록소 형광 분석법으로 측정하여 광생리 특성을 분석하였다. 6개의 온도 조건(10, 15, 20, 25, 30, $35^{\circ}C$)에서 2시간 간격으로 24시간 동안 엽록소 형광을 측정하여 P-I 곡선을 도출하였다. 제2광계의 유효양자수율($\Phi_{PSII}$)은 대부분의 종에 있어서 온도가 증가함에 따라 감소하였으며, 상대 최대 전자전달율(rETRmax)은 최적 온도까지 증가한 후 급격하게 감소하였다. 최대 빛이용 효율($\alpha$)은 다른 광합성 매개변수에 비해 온도에 덜 민감하였으나, 높은 온도에서는 감소하였으며, 광포화 계수($E_K$)는 상대 최대 전자전달율의 반응과 매우 유사하였다. 종별 광생리 특성을 분석한 결과, Navicula sp.와 Cylindeotheca closterium가 광생리적 조절을 통하여 단시간의 온도 변화에 광순응하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Primary production of phrtoplankton was investigated in Naktong estuarine ecosystem monthly from October 1991 to September 1992 using carbon-14 uptake method. In spite of large spatial and temporal variation, there was a primary peak of net phytoplankton production in spring through early summer. The productivity was minimum of 543mg C·m^-2.day^-1 in September and maximum of 4112mg C·m^-2·day^-1 in April. The seasonal changes in factors regulating production in Naktong estuarine area were proposed based on the annual patterns of physical variables and nutrient concentrations. The late spring and early summer flowering of biomass and net production of phytoplankton was explained as the result of the balance between light and temperature. The high level of Production terminated in summer as the result of water clarity. Nutrient limitation may not be important, because of high nutrient level year around in this eutrophicated estuarine area.

플랑크톤의 종다양성은 특정 지역의 수계환경 변화 모니터링에 있어 중요 생태지표로써, 환경 평가에 유용한 정보로 사용되고 있다. 기존의 종다양성 평가는 주로 형태학적 형질에 근거한 종동정을 통해 이루어졌으나, 많은 시간과 전문성을 필요로 하고 연구자의 주관적 판단에 의존하는 단점이 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 채수된 환경시료에 대해 보다 빠르고 정확한 플랑크톤 종다양성을 파악하기 위하여 분자마커를 활용한 분자모니터링 기법을 도입하였다. 서낙동강(김해교)과 남해 연얀(남해도) 정점에서 각각 채수된 환경시료에서 DNA를 추출한 후 18S nuclear ribosomal RNA 유전자를 대상으로 중합효소연쇄반응을 수행하였다. 클로닝 과정을 통해 만들어진 각각의 클론 라이브러리에서 클론을 무작위로 선택하여 제한효소절편다형성 패턴분석을 한 후 특이성을 가지는 클론을 선별하였다. 김해교에서는 60개 블론을 대상으로 44개의 특이적 클론을 선별하였고 남해에서는 150개 클론을 대상으토 27개의 클론을 선별하였다. 이틀 클론틀에 대한 염기서열 분석결과 다양한 계통분류군에 속승하는 플랑크톤의 종조성 결과를 보여주었다(김해교: Heterokontophyta(7), Ciliophora(23), Dinophyta(l), Chytridiomycota(l), Rotifera(I), Arthropoda (11), 남해: Ciliophora( 4), Dinophyta(3), Crγptophyta(l),Arthropoda(19)). 본 연구를 통하여 분자마커를 활용한 분자모니터링 기법이 기존 형태학적 형질에 근거한 분석이 가지는 한계를 보완하여 채수된 환경시료의 종조성 분석에 효율적으로 사용될 수 있다고 판단된다. The biodiversity of eukaryotic plankton has commonly been used to evaluate the status of aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, an accurate and rapid method for species identification is needed to reveal the biodiversity of environmental water samples. To date, molecular methods have provided a great deal of information that has enabled identification of the hidden biodiversity in environmental samples. In this study, we utilized environmental polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and constructed the 18S nuclear ribosomal RNA clone library from environmental water samples in order to develop more efficient methods for species identification. For the molecular analysis, water samples were collected from the Seonakdong River (Gimhae Bridge) and the coast of Namhae,(Namhaedo). Colony PCR and restriction fragment length polymorphism of PCR (PCR-RFLP) were then adopted to isolate unique clones from the 18S rDNA clone library. Restriction fragment length polymorphism pattern analysis of the Gimhae Bridge sample revealed 44 unique clones from a total of 60 randomly selected clones, while analysis of the Namhae sample revealed 27 unique clones from 150 clones selected at random. A BLAST search and subsequent phylogenetic analysis conducted using the sequences of these clones revealed hidden biodiversity containing a wide range of taxonomic groups (Heterokontophyta (7), Ciliophora (23), Dinophyta (1), Chytridiomycota (1), Rotifera (1) and Arthropoda (11) in the Gimhae Bridge samples Ciliophora (4), Dinophyta (3), Cryptophyta (1), Arthropoda (19) in the Namhae samples). Therefore, the molecular monitoring method developed here can provide additional information regarding the biodiversity and community structure of eukaryotic plankton in environmental samples and helps construct a useful database of biodiversity for aquatic ecosystems.

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.

The freshwater blooms mainly blue-green algal blooms occur frequently in the lower Naktong River in summer, which provoke many socio-economical problems; therefore, the early detection of bloom events are demanding through the quantitative and qualitative analyses of blue green algal species. The in vivo fluorescence properties of cultured strains of Microcystis aeruginosa, M. viridis, M. wesenbergii, M. ichthyoblabe, Anabaena cylindrica, A. flos-aquae, and Synedra sp. were investigated. Wild phytoplankton communities of the lower Naktong River were also monitored at four stations in terms of their standing stocks, biomass and fluorescence properties compared with its absorption spectram. The 77K fluorescence emission spectra of each cultured strains normalized at 620 nm was very specific and enabled to detect of blue green algal biomass qualitatively and quantitatively. The relative chlorophyll a concentration determined by chlorophyll fluorescence analysis method showed significant relationship with chlorophyll a concentration determined by solvent extraction method ($R^2$ = 0.906), and the blue-green algal cell number determined by microscopic observation ($R^2$ = 0.588), which gives insight into applications to early detection of blue green algal bloom.

2000년 여름 남해안에 나타난 Cochlodinium polykrikoides 우점 적조의 발생 특성

정창수,이창규,조용철,이삼근,김학균,정익교,임월애,Jung, Chang-Su,Lee, Chang-Kyu,Cho, Yong-Chul,Lee, Sam-Geun,Kim, Hak-Gyoon,Chung, Ik-Kyo,Lim, Wol-Ae 한국해양학회 2002 바다 Vol.7 No.2

2000년 한반도 남해안에서 발생한 Cochlodinium polykrikoides 적조 초기발생, 진행과 소멸현상을 현장과 NOAA 위성 표층수온 자료를 이용하여 검토하였다. 일반적으로 C. polykrikoides 적조는 1995년에서 1999년에는 적조 띠가 고흥 나로도해역에서 최초 발생되었으나, 2000년에는 여수해만 해역에서 최초로 발생되었다. 이는 한반도 남해해역에서 여러 해수가 영향을 미쳤기 때문으로 생각된다 : 1) 대마난류와 남해연안류, 2) 진도냉수대와 남서해 연안수 및 3) 남동연안의 저온수와 외양난류수, 이 기간동안 실시한 현장조사에서는 C. polykrikoides의 유영세포가 이들의 경계역에 집적되는 경향을 나타내었는데, 특히 8월말에 대마난류와 남해연안류 사이의 남해 해양전선이 여수해만에서 형성되어 2000년 C. polykrikoides 적조가 바로 이 지점에서 시작하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다.(8월 22일). 이 C. polykrikoides 우점 적조는 Alexandrum tamarense, Gymnodinium mikimotoi, Skletonema coastatum, 그리고 Chaetoceros spp.와 혼합하여 발생하였다. 적조발생 기간 중에 한반도에는 'Prapiroon'과 'Saomai' 2개의 태풍이 C. polykrikoides 적조세력에 영향을 미쳤다. 태풍 'Prapiroon'이 통과한 후 C. polykrikoides 유영세포의 수는 최대를 보였고, 태풍 'Saimai' 통과 후 적조는 소멸하였다(9월 20일). 10월 5일에는 진해만과 한산-거제만에서 C. polykrikoides 적조가 발생하였는데, 이때의 위성사진은 22$^{\circ}C$의 수온전선이 한산-거제만을 거쳐 진해만까지 깊숙이 관입되어 있었으며, 적조발생해역 및 현장수온도 일치하고 있었다. 또한 이 지역에서 가을과 겨울철에 우점 출현하는 Akashiwo sanguinea(=Gym, sanguineum)와 C. polykrikoides이 함께 적조를 형성하였다. We investigated the outbreak, maintenance, and decline of the red tide dominated by C. polykrikoides in the coastal waters off Southern Korea from August to October, 2000, by combining field data and NOAA satellite images. In general, the C. polykrikoides blooms, which have occured annually in Korean coastal waters from 1995 to 1999, initiate between late August and early September around Narodo Island and expand to the whole area of the southern coast. However, initiation and short-term change of the bloom of 2000 were quite different from the pattern observed previously. In mid-August, thermal fronts in sea surface temperature(SST) were formed: 1) between the Tsushima Warm Current Water (TWCW) and the Southern Korean Coastal Waters (SKCW), 2) between the jindo cold water mass and the southwestern coastal waters, and 3) between the upwelled cold waters in the southeast coast and the offshore warm waters. Free-living cells of C. polykrikoides were concentrated in these frontal regions. In late August, the thermal front TWCW-SKCW approached the mouth of Yeosuhae Bay where Seomjin River water and anthropogenic pollutants from the Industrial Complex of Gwangyang Bay are discharged. In the blooms of 2000 initiated in Yeosuhae Bay in late August, the dominant species, C. polykrikoides, co-occured with Alexandrum tamarense, Gymnodinium mikimotoi, Skeletonema coastatum, and Chaetoceros spp. Two typhoons, 'Prapiroon' and 'Saomai' during and the C. polykrikoides bloom probably affected the abundance of this species. After the former typhoon passed the Korean Peninsula, cell growth of C. polykrikoides was maximal, but after the latter typhoon, the C. polykrikoides bloom disappeared (20 September). On 5 October, the blooms dominated by C. polykrikoides broke out within the coastal waters of Jinhae Bay and Hansan-Keoje Bay. NOAA satellite images showed that the isothermal line of 22$^{\circ}C$ extended into Jinhae Bay. In this bloom, C. polykrikoides also occurred simultaneously with Akashiwo sanguinea(=Gym-nodinium sangunium), a common red tide-forming dinoflagellate species in fall and winter in these coastal bays.
