A study for species composition and abundance of the fish assemblages in the eastern Jinhae Bay, Korea was conducted using monthly larval collection by a RN80 net from October, 2010 to September, 2011. Of all the 45 species collected, the dominant species were Clupea pallasii, Hexagrammos otakii, Pholis fangi and Engraulis japonicus. Clupea pallasii, Hexagrammos otakii, Pholis fangi in winter and examined Engraulis japonicus, Acanthogobius sp., Parablennius yatabei, and Tridentiger trigonocephalus in summer appeared seasonally. Popoulation characteristic by stations was not clear seasonally and spatially, and appearance aspects of dominant species were similar by stations. Compared our results with other studies in the South Sea, dominant species and their appearance period were similar to their spawning period. Finally, the appearance period of the larvae in the South Sea was closely resulted to spawning period rather than the regional characteristic.

식생자료의 종조성적 온전성(전형성과 대표성) 확보는 Z.-M. 학파의 정제된 식생자료(phytosociological relevé)와 식물군락(plant community)을 이용하는 국가식생자원에 대한 통합적 관리의 주요 선행 과정이다. 본 연구의 목적은 특정 단위식생으로 모둠화된 식생자료의 종조성 균질성에 대한 질적 양적 평가 도구를 개발하는 것이다. 식생자료의 이질적 요소가 적용된 새로운 균질도, 현존균질도(actual homotoneity: Hact)와 최적균질도(optimal homotoneity: Hopt)를 제안하였다. 사례 식생형에서 식물상 변수들, 새로 개발한 균질도, 선행연구의 유사 균질도(Pfeiffer’s homogeneity, basic homotoneity-coefficient, corrected homotoneity-coefficient, mean floristic similarity)와의 상관관계는 Spearman 순위 상관계수(Spearman's rank correlation coefficient)로 분석되었다. 현존균질도와 최적균질도는 각각 식생자료 간과 단위식생 간의 식물상 균질성 차이를 더욱 분명하게 드러내었다. 식생자료수로부터 가장 독립적인 균질도는 현존균질도였 다. 오랜 교란 역사를 지닌 한반도의 현존식생 조건에서 최적균질도는 현존균질도에 대한 더욱 정교한 해석이 가능한 보완적 수단이 되었다. 현존균질도와 최적균질도는 국가 식생자원에 대한 일관성과 객관성을 포함하는 식생자료의 DB 구축을 위한 균질한 식생자료 선별에 기여할 것으로 기대되었다.

The species composition and variation in abundance of fishery resources near Oenarodo, Go-heung Peninsula, Korea, were investigated by gill net, trap net, and longline in May, July, and October 2015 and 2016. During the study period, the total catch included 14 species in the gill net, 11 species in the trap net, and 4 species in the longline. The dominant species were Portunus trituberculatus and Raja pulchrain the gill net, Charybdis japonicaand and Octopus vulgarisin in the trap net, and Muraenesox cinereusin in the longline. The Catch Per Unit Effort (CPUE) per individual and per weight in the gill net were similar in May and July of 2015 and 2016. In October 2015, the CPUE per individual was 2.1 ind./h and the CPUE per weight was 505 g/h higher than the results in 2016, but there was no significant difference in the total CPUE between 2015 and 2016. In the trap net, the CPUE per weight was similar in both 2015 and 2016, but the CPUE per individual was 2.7 ind./h higher in October 2015 than in October 2016 and the total CPUE was not significantly different from 2015 to 2016. The CPUE per individual and weight in the longline were significantly higher in July and October 2015 than in the same months of 2016, but the total CPUE in 2015 and 2016 did not show a significant difference.

The fluctuation in the abundance and species composition of fish was investigated using gape net in Dolsan District of Yeosu Korea from July 2015 to April 2016. A total of 1,331 fishes were sampled and classified into 30 orders, 42 families, and 53 species. The dominant orders are Perciformes including 21 famailies and 24 species, followed by Scorpaeniformes including 7 families and 13 species, and Clueiformes including 6 families and 6 species. Among the 53 fish species collected, Engraulis japonicus was the most frequent species occupying 43.5%, followed by Argyrosomus argentatus (23.8%), and Leiognathus nuchalis (22.4%). The monthly diversity, evenness, and richness index were 1.83-2.90, 0.76-0.95 and 3.06-6.40.

This study was performed to recognize species composition of Anopheline mosquitoes and infection rates of Plasmodium vivax in the northern part of South Korea. Adult mosquitoes were collected at 9 Republic of Korea (ROK) army installations in northern part of Geyonggi Province near the demilitarized zone (DMZ) using black light traps. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to identify collected Anopheline specimens and detect P. vivax from them. During June to August 2016, total 481 anopheline mosquitoes were collected and identified. Anopheles kleini was the most frequently collected (56.1%), and followed by An. pullus (16.6%), An. sinensis (16.2%), An. belenrae (7.5%) and An. lesteri (1.5%). 6 pools (4.0%) were positive for P. vivax among 150 pools. The minimum infection rates (MIR) was 1.24. Our ongoing study will provide a meaningful data for the effective malaria elimination strategy.

우리나라 도서지역 산림식생의 인간 간섭 유무와 정도에 따른 생태적 보전 및 관리를 위한 기초 정보를 수집하기 위하여 남해안 유인도서(대모도)와 무인도서(구도)를 대상으로 식물사회학적 연구방법으로 산림식생을 분류하고 그 구조 및 종조성 특성(총피도, 중요치, 종다양성, 지표종, 생활형 조성 등)을 파악하였다. 산림식생 유형은 대모도에서 총 11개 식생단위(1개 군락군, 2개 군락, 개 아군락, 9개 변군락, 그리고 4개 아변군락), 구도에서 총 8개 식생단위(2개 군락군, 5개 군락, 그리고 6개 아군락)가 구분되었다. 총피도(S)와 종다양도(H′)에 있어서 구도는 교목층이, 대모도는 관목층이 다른 층위에 비하여 상대적으로 아주 높게 나타났다. 생활형 조성 체계는 대모도 N-R5-D2-e, 구도 MM-R5-D2-e로 나타났다. 과중요치(FIV) 분석결과 대모도에서는 차나무과와 소나무과, 구도는 녹나무과와 참나무과 분류군들이 상위그룹을 이루고 있었으며, 과별 종구성비에 있어서는 대모도는 국화과가 4.5%(19종류), 구도는 백합과 가 7.3%(8종류)로 가장 높게 나타나 두 도서간 인위적 교란 정도를 가늠할 수 있었다. 지표종 분석에서는 대모도는 청미래덩굴, 광나무, 사스레피나무 등 미소지상식물(N)이, 구도는 황칠나무, 구실잣밤나무, 육박나무 등 대형지상식물 (MM)이 대개 유의한 지표종(p <0.0005)으로 나타났다.

This study amied to determine the effect of species and seed mixture on productivity, botanical composition and forage quality in middle mountainous region (Geosan) pasture. Total seven experimental pastures (T1 : Orchardgrass, T2 : Timothy, T3 : Tall fescue, T4 : Perennial ryegrass, T5 : Kentucky bluegrass, T6 : Timothy + Orchardgrass + Tall fescue + Alfalfa, T7 : Timothy + Orchardgrass + Kentucky bluegrass + White clover) were established in autumn, 2014 and evaluated for productivity and agronomic characteristics for 2015. Plant heigh was high in Orchardgrass and Perennial ryegrass pasture. Dry matter (DM) content was high in Kentucky bluegrass. Botanical composition in 1st harvest was high in shrub, but the grass composition was high in 2nd and 3rd harvest. Fresh and DM yield were higher in Orchardgrass and Perennial ryegrass (p<0.05); whreras, Kentucky bluegrass was the lowest. In seed mixture pasture, yields of T6 plot (Tall fescue) were higher than those of T7 (Kentucky bluegrass). Average CP (crude protein) content of 2nd and 3rd cutting time was 16.91 and 14.79%, respectively and Kentucky blue grass was the highest in 3rd cutting time by 17.57%. IVDMD (in vitro dry matter digestibility) showed low in 1st cutting and Kentucky bluegrass was the lowest in every cutting time. TDN (total digestible nutrient) content was the highest in 3rd cutting and the lowest in 1st cutting. These results indicated that Orchardgrass, Perennial ryegrass and T6 are recommendable for productivity and Timothy, Perennial ryegrass and T7 are recommendable for forage quality.
