연안생태계의 호염성 톡토기와 개미군집의 생물다양성정도와 변동에 대해 알아보기 위해, 주변환경과 식생이 다른 세지역에서 정량채집을 실시하였다. 종조성이나 분포에 영향을 주는 요인을 찾기 위해 pH, 염도 및 전기전도도를 측정하였다. 연구결과 톡토기의 종조성 이나 분포에는 pH와 식생보다도 토성과 염도가 더 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 개미의 경우는 집을 지을 적당한 장소를 제공해 줄 수 있는 식생과 조수에 의한 침수에 더 큰 영향을 받는 것으

In order to investigate the oceanic condition of fishing ground in the southwestern coastal sea of Korea, the oceanographic observation were carried out by the trainingship of Yosu university on May, August and November in 1998. Main features in the observation are as follows; 1) the ranges of temperature, salinity, density and chlorophyll-a were from 14.5℃ to 18.0℃, from 33.5‰ to 34.5‰from 24.0 to 25.5 and from 1.0μg/l in spring (May) from 15.0℃ to 27.5℃, from 0.0‰ 35.0‰9.0 to 26.0 and from 0.5μg/l to 4.0μg/l in summer(August), and from to 21.0˚ 31.0‰, from 22.0 and from 4.0μg/l to 20.0μg/l in autumn(November), respectively, 2) the temperature in the coastal region was higher than that in the open ocean while salinity, density and chlorophyll-a were lower, and the convection was identified between the surface and the bottom during in spring and autumn, 3) the chlorophyll-a in the this region was varied in each season, being highly distributed offshore Yosu Bay, 4) on evidence of sea water intrusion toward Kumun island was observed.
