2007년 2월부터 2008년 11월까지 국내의 4개 주요 항만(부산항, 울산항, 인천항, 광양항)에 분포하는 유종섬모충류의 계절적 출현양상과 선박평형수 벡터종(Coos Bay 벡터종 기준)의 계절적 출현양상을 조사하였다. 조사 기간 중 부산항과 울산항에서 유종섬모충류 난류종인 Ascampbeliella urceolata, Codonellopsis morchella, C. ostenfeldi, Dadayiella ganymedes, Eutintinnus stramentus, Protorhabdonella curta가 8월과 11월에 출현하였다. 인천항과 광양항에서는 전 계절을 통해 연안종이 출현하였고 특히 저수온기와 고수온기에 연안종의 출현이 뚜렷하였다. 광양항에서는 2007년 5월에 난류종 Tintinnopsis ampla의 출현과 2008년 11월에 C. ostenfeldi가 출현을 보였지만 인천항에서는 난류종의 출현이 관찰되지 않았다. 유종섬모충 출현분포의 특성은 연안종이 주로 출현하였으며, 부산항과 울산항에서 8월과 11월에 난류종이 중점적으로 출현하고 있는 것은 쿠로시오 해류 (Kuroshio current)의 지류인 대마난류(Tsushima Warm Current)의 영향에 의한 유입되는 것으로 판단된다. 또한 조사 기간 중 주요 항만에서 출현한 유종섬모충류의 벡터종은 총 13종이었다. 광양항에서 13종으로 가장 많은 종이 출현하였고 인천항에서 6종으로 가장 적은 종수가 관찰되었으며 부산항과 울산항에서 각각 10종과 11종이 관찰되었다. 이들 벡터종은 부산항, 울산항, 광양항의 고수온기에 가장 많은 출현종수를 보인 반면, 인천항에서는 저수온기 2월에 가장 많은 출현종 수를 보여 항만에 따른 차이를 보였다. 그러나 우리나라에 해역에 영향을 주는 서로 다른 해류에 의한 유입종 연구와 선박 평형수에 의해 유입된 벡터종의 연구가 매우 부족하기 때문에 주요 항만의 유종섬모충류의 종조성 차이에 대한 정확한 결론을 내리기에는 어려움이 있어 앞으로 이에 대한 체계적인 연구가 필요하다고 판단된다.

Haliotis discus, a useful abalone of herbivorous gastropod, shows feeding preference tomarine algae depending upon their growth stage and recognition of taste. This study was carriedout to investigate this abalone’s algal preferences and the presence of feeding stimulants. Insingle-choice experiments the small(S) group generally preferred Ulva pertusa(Chlorophyta),whereas the medium(M) and large(L) group preferred both Laminaria japonica(Phaeophyta)and Undaria pinnatifida(Phaeophyta). In multi-choice experiments using 4 algal species of L.japonica, U. pertusa, U. pinnatifidaand Ecklonia cava(Phaeophyta), the results were same as inthe single-choice experiments; the S group preferred U. pertusathe most, while the M and Lgroup preferred both U. pinnatifidaand L. japonica. However E. cavawas not preferred by anygroups. In order to examine the presence of feeding stimulant, chemical compounds from algae usedas feed were isolated and identified. The abalone responded to water soluble matters of L. japo-nica, U. pinnatifidaand U. pertusa, but those of E. cavaand Sargassum sagamianum(Phaeophyta)were not attractive to them. In feeding stimulant experiments using fat soluble matters, the S grouppreferred the fat soluble matter of U. pertusathe most, while the M group and the L group pre-ferred those of U. pertusaand U. pinnatifida, and those of L. japonica, respectively. However the fatsoluble matter of S. sagamianumwas not attractive to the abalone. The results of feeding sti-mulant experiments were same as those of single-choice or multi-choice experiments, which show-ed that compound lipids in fat soluble matter might act as feeding-stimulant.

Seawater temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients and chlorophyll-a have been studied around Hamduck in the northern part of Cheju Island during July, 1989-July, 1990. In the surface water ranges of water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nitrate, phospate, silicate and chlorophyll-a have been 13.7-26.5℃, 28.51-34.37‰, 4.47-7.14㎖/ℓ, ND-15.42㎍-at/ℓ, ND-1.47㎍-at/ℓ, 2.33-24.1㎍-at/ℓ, and 0.02-2.24㎎/㎥, respectively. Yearly mean values of the near surface waters(0m-10m)at station 6 show high temperature, nitrate, chlorophyll-a, while the values of dissolved oxygen, phosphate, and silicate were low compared with the other stations. The vertical profiles are likely to show the possibility of upwelling in October and tidal front in July, suggesting high productivity of phytoplankton around St.6. N1P ratio varies from 35 inshore to 15 offshore and from 45 in July to 15 in Ferbruary. These variation patterns are similar to those of water temperature.

1987년 6월-1988년 4월까지 격월로 제주도 해안선주변 10개 정점에서 부유성 갑각류의 현존량과 생산량을 야간채집, 조사하였다. 계절별 평균개체수는 12월에 가장 낮고, 6월에 가장 높았는데, 이들 개체의 대부분(90% 이상)은 90μm 망목의 네트로 채집된 것으로 이뤄졌다. 계절별 평균 현존량의 범위는 6.6-55.0mgm^(-1)(평균 16mgm^(-3))이고, 여름에 높았다. 일일평균 생산량 역시 여름(369μgCm^(-3)d(-1))에 높고 겨울(112μgCm^(-1)d^(-1))에 낮았다. P/B의 비(평균 0.25)는, 수온이 높고 소형 동물플랑크톤의 개체수가 많은 계절에 높은 값을 나타냈다.

The primary production at 10 stations around the coast line of Cheju Island has been investigated from the viewpoint of standing crops(cells/e), chlorophyll-a concentration and CO₂ fixation of phytoplankton during the period from June, 1987 to March, 1989. Phytoplankton standing crops ranged from 2,025 to133,734 cells/ethrough the year, increasing from June and showing a peak in August. The distribution of standing crops was the highest in the eastern area and the lowest in the northern area. Chlorophyll-a concentration ranged from 0.45 to 2.59 ㎎/㎥ during the study period, which was much lower than that in the other Korean coastal waters. To estimate the CO₂ fixation of phytoplankton, daily primary production (㎎C/㎥/day) has been determined using C-14 method. It ranged 1.31-7.15, 34.54117.04, 22.283.64, 8.53-11.95㎎㎎/㎥/㎥/day in winter, summer, fall, and spring, respectively, and showed the highest in the western area. The carbon assimilation number(㎎C/㎎ chl-a/hr)was also higher in summer than in other seasons. The general characteristics of primary production of phytoplankton around the coast line of Cheju Island was high in the eastern and western regions during the summer season.

In order to know sea water characteristics around coast line of Cheju Island, physical and chemical environmental factor analyses have been performed with data observed from June 1987 to April 188. Water temperature was over 10℃ even in winter with highest value of 14.7℃ in the southern part over the whole study area. Concentrations of DO, COD and SS were as low as those in the standard sea-water-quality classes [I] and [II]. Nutrient concentration was higher in the present study region than on the coastal areas by previous works, suggesting influx of materials from land. The ratio of N/P ranged from 21.6 to 67.4 (mean : 38.8). Concentration of Chlorophgll-a was high in eastern and southern part throughout the year, except a special high value of 3.89㎎/㎥ at Gosan, western part of the study area, in August.

To investigate the variations of physico-chemical factors and microbial population, in ten stations at water region of coastal area of Chagwi-Do, Nutritive salts, water temperature, transparency, suspended solid, salinity, COD, DO, pH, heterotrophic bacteria, coliform group and Vibrio spp. were analysed three times in September, November in 2004 and February in 2005. Heterotrophic bacteria in surface water was 3.5×101～1.16×103 cfu/ml, 1.0×102～5.2×101 cfu/ml, 2.0×101～7.6×101 and bottom water counted 7.0×102～1.0×103 cfu/ml, 1.4×101～2.5×102 cfu/ml, 2.0×102～4.2×101 cfu/ml in September, November in 2004 and February in2005, respectively. The cell number of total coliform bacteria in the surface water amounted to 0～4.3×102 cfu/ml, 0～6.0×101 cfu/ml, 0～1.0×101 cfu/ml and bottom water amounted 0～2.2×102 cfu/ml, 0～5.4×102 cfu/ml, 0～2.0×101 cfu/ml in September, November in 2004 and February in 2005, respectively. As for Vibrio spp., the cell number in the surface water was 1.0×101～2.5×102 cfu/ml, 1.0×101～2.0×101 cfu/ml, 0 cfu/㎖ and bottom water counted 1.0×101～5.2×102 cfu/ml, 0 cfu/㎖, 2.0×101 cfu/ml in September, November in 2004 and February in 2005, respectively.
