This study investigated the species composition and community structure of aquatic organisms captured using coastal beam trawling in Gomso Bay, Jeollabuk-do, from January to December 2022. Throughout the experimental period, a total of 20,246 individuals belonging to 94 marine species were captured, with a combined biomass of 602,828 g. Fish exhibited the highest abundance, comprising 56 species, followed by crustacea (21 species), bivalvia (8 species), cephalopoda (5 species), gastropoda (3 species), and holothuroidea (1 species). The dominant species was Leiognathus nuchalis, constituting 14.0% of the total individuals, followed by Portunus trituberculatus at 12.1%, Oratosquilla oratoria at 10.4%, Crangon hakodatei at 9.9%, and Metapenaeus joyneri at 7.9%. The diversity index ranged from 1.72 to 2.55, with the lowest diversity observed in March and the highest in July. Cluster analysis based on species composition of the 27 most common species showed that aquatic organisms were divided into three groups: spring and summer organisms (Group A) and summer organisms (Group B) and autumn and winter organisms (Group C).
Although the abundance of Metapenaeus joyneri resources with high commercial value was recently confirmed in the outer waters of Gomso Bay, located between Buan-gun and Gochang-gun, Jeollabuk-do, Metapenaeus joyneri resources have not been efficiently utilized due to the absence of fishing gears and methods for a selective Metapenaeus joyneri capture. Therefore, in this study, we adopted shrimp dredge as a trial fishing gear for the Metapenaeus joyneri capture, and analyzed the species composition and cluster community structure of aquatic organisms caught by the shrimp dredge, from May to September 2021 at the coastal waters of Gochang-gun, Jeollabuk-do. During the experimental period, 28 types of marine species of 29,190 individuals and 250,136 g of total biomass were caught. Among them, the population of Metapenaeus joyneri, the target species, dominated by 80.7%, followed by Thrysa chefuensis with 7.1%, and Leiognathus nuchalis with 6.0%, confirming that the fishing ratio of Metapenaeus joyneri was the highest among all species.
To assess the characteristics of meiofaunal community fluctuations related to environmental factors, seasonal surveys were conducted in the subtidal zone of Hallyeohaesang National Park. The average depth of the study area was about 20 m, and the average water temperature at the bottom was low in winter (11.33°C) and high in summer (17.95°C). The sedimentary particles mainly comprised silt and clay at most stations. The abundance of meiofauna ranged from 81.7 to 1,296.5 Inds. 10 cm-2, and the average abundance was 589.3 Inds. 10 cm-2. The average abundance of meiofauna in each season was the lowest at 416.5 Inds. 10 cm-2 in winter and the highest at 704.5 Inds. 10 cm-2 in spring. The dominant taxa were nematodes (about 92%) and harpacticoids (about 5%). In the cluster analysis of meiofaunal communities, they were divided into four significant groups. The largest group mainly contained spring and summer samples, and contained stations with a high nematode density of over 500 Inds. 10 cm-2 and harpacticoids below 50 Inds. 10 cm-2 with a high composition ratio of nematodes. In the cluster analysis, no regional division was found between the stations, and it was thought to be divided by the seasons with high abundance according to seasonal variation and the composition ratio of nematodes and harpacticoids. In the Spearman rank correlation analysis, the density of total meiofauna and the most dominant taxa, nematodes, was not significantly related to environmental factors. However, the density of harpacticoids had a significant positive correlation with water depth and a negative correlation with sediment particle size.
In order to understand basic data for improving the fishing system and fishing vessel structure in coastal improved stow net fishery, a questionnaire survey and on-site hearing were conducted from May 10 to June 11, 2019 to analyze opinions on the improvement of operation status and fishing vessel structure. The questionnaire survey consisted of ten questions on the operation status of coastal improved stow net fishery and six questions on the improvement of fishing vessel structure, and the results of each question were analyzed by the region, the captain’s age, the captain’s career and the age of fishing vessel. As a result of analyzing opinions on the operation status of the coastal improved stow net fishery, it was found that the average time required for casting net was 32.8 to 33.0 minutes and that the average time required for hauling net was 41.0 to 42.2 minutes which took 10 to 12 minutes more than for casting net. The most important work requiring improvement during fishing operation (the first priority) were ‘hauling net operation,’ ‘readjustment and storage of fishing gear,’ and ‘fish handling’ and the hardest factor in fishing management were in the order of ‘reduction of catch,’ ‘labor shortage’ and ‘rising labor costs.’ The most institutional improvement that is most needed in coastal improved stow net fishery was an ‘using fine mesh nets.’ Most of the respondent to the questions on the experience in hiring foreign crews was ‘either hiring or willing to hire foreign crews,’ and the average number of foreign crews employed was found to be 2.3 to 2.4 persons. The most important reason for hiring (or considering employment) foreign crews was ‘high labor costs.’ The degree of communication with foreign crews during fishing operation were ‘moderate’ or ‘difficult to direct work.’ The most important problem in hiring foreign crews (the first priority) was an ‘illegal departure.’ As the survey results on the opinion of structural improvement of coastal improved stow net fishing vessel, the degree of satisfaction with fishing vessel structure related to fishing operation was found to be somewhat unsatisfactory, with an average of 3.3 points on a five-point scale. The inconvenient structure of fishing vessel in possession (the first priority), the space needed most for the construction of new fishing vessel (the first priority) and the space considered important for the construction of new fishing vessel (the first prioprity) was a ‘fish warehouse.’ The most preferred equipment for the construction of new fishing vessel were ‘engine operation monitoring’ and ‘navigation safety devices.’ The average size (tonnage class), the average horse power and the average total length of fishing vessel for proper profit and safety fishing operation was between 13.8 and 14.0 tonnes, 808.3 to 819.5 H.P. and 23.4 to 23.5 meters, respectively. The results of the operation status of coastal improved stow net fishery and the requirement for improving the fishing vessel structure are expected to be provided as basic data for reference when we build or improve the fishing vessel.
본 연구는 부산광역시 해안림 곰솔군락의 식생구조 및 생태적 특성을 파악하여 해안림의 식생구조를 파악하고 향후 부산광역시 해안림 관리방안을 위한 기초자료를 구축하고자 수행하였다. 부산광역시 해안림 지역에 100m² 크기의 조사구 97개를 설치하여 조사·분석하였다. TWINSPAN과 DAC기법을 사용하여 군락을 분리한 결과, 곰솔-졸참나무 군락, 곰솔-사스레피나 무(1)군락, 곰솔-사스레피나무(2)군락, 곰솔-갈참나무군락, 곰솔-동백나무(1)군락, 곰솔-동백나무(2)군락, 곰솔-사스레피나무- 동백나무군락으로 분리되었다. 조사결과 부산광역시 해안림 곰솔군락의 교목층에서는 곰솔이 주요 우점종으로 나타났으며, 하층식생에서 사스레피나무와 동백나무가 우점하였다. 곰솔-졸참나무군락에서 졸참나무가 일부 교목층과 아교목층에서 곰솔과 경쟁관계를 이루고 있으며 변화를 살피기 위해서는 지속적인 모니터링이 필요할 것이다. 해안림의 환경 특성상 곰솔을 비롯한 내염성이 강한 수종들이 군락을 이루고 있기 때문에 곰솔-졸참나무 군락을 제외한 군락들은 급격한 환경변화가 발생하지 않으면 현 상태의 군락 구조를 당분간 유지할 것으로 예상된다.
It was turned out by shrimp beam trawl monthly survey from March, 2015 to February, 2016 that different species composition and abundance of the fish assemblages in Sacheon Bay and coastal waters off Namhae, Korea were compared. As a result of monthly measured sea temperature and salinity of Sacheon Bay and coastal waters off Namhae, sea temperature of both areas was changed seasonally; however, differences in sea temperature occurred during certain periods depending on the region. Salinity was generally low in Sacheon Bay affected by fresh water, and both areas was low in summer and high in winter. A total of 73 species representing 37 families were collected in Sacheon Bay. The dominant fish species in terms of numbers and biomass were Liparis tanakae, 23,077 inds./km2, 332.1 kg/km2. A total of 91 fish species representing 49 families were collected in coastal waters off Namhae. The dominant fish species in terms of numbers were Leiognathus nuchalis, 139,683 inds./km2 and biomass were Chelidonichthys spinosus, 1,078.6 kg/km2. Analysis of dendrogram of the clustering showed that Sacheon Bay and coastal waters off Namhae were distinctive featured (global R = 0.691, p = 0.017). And except of summer season (July-October), there was a distinctive feature seasonally (global R = 0.844, p = 0.001). The fish species that appeared in common in both areas, where fish species caught in Sacheon Bay, an important inner bay,were smaller than those caught in coastal waters off Namhae appeared. It presented that Sacheon Bay plays a more important role in spawning and nursery ground for fisheries resource than coastal waters off Namhae, Korea.
독특한 경관특성과 높은 보존적 가치에도 불구하고, 사구와 관련된 곤충 다양성 연구는 매우 부족한 편이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 태안해안국립공원에서 주로 관찰되는 사구와 방풍림(해송)에서 서식하는 지표성 딱정벌레류 군집 구조에 대한 비교 연구를 수행하였다. 2014년 6월 중순부터 10월 중순까지 함정트랩을 이용하여 방풍림 5개 지점과 사구 3개 지점을 조사하였다. 조사 결과, 총 2,335개체의 지표성 딱정벌레류를 채집하였으며, 이들은 15속 30종으로 동정되었다. 사구에서는 24종이 채집되었는데, 둥근칠납작먼지벌레(158개체)와 등빨간먼지벌레(153개체)가 우점하였다. 반 면, 방품림에서는 14종이 채집되었고, 둥근칠납작먼지벌레(1,630개체), 윤납작먼지벌레(130개체) 및 붉은칠납작먼지벌 레(42개체)가 우점하였다. 방풍림과 사구의 지표성 딱정벌레류 종 구성의 유사도는 27.4%로 낮았다. 본 연구 결과는 태안해안국립공원에서 발견되는 사구 지형이 방풍림과 비교해서 다른 곤충 군집을 보유하고 있음을 보여주고 있으며, 이는 향후 곤충 보전을 위한 중요한 정보가 될 것이다.

In this study, a total of 28 species were sampled with a mean density of 32,568 ind./km2 and mean biomass of 1,649.5 kg/km2. The dominant species, comprising over 1.0% of the total number of individuals, were Chionoecetes opilio (11,203 ind./km2, 34.4%), Pandalus eous (9,247 ind./km2, 28.4%), Ophiuridae spp. (5,750 ind./km2, 17.7%), Argis lar (2,631 ind./km2, 8.1%), Neocrangon communis (994 ind./km2, 3.1%), Berryteuthis magister (612 ind./km2, 1.9%), Sepiola birostrata (499 ind./km2, 1.5%) and Strongylocentrotidae sp. (424 ind./km2, 1.3%). The dominant species, in terms of biomass, comprising over 1.0% of the total biomass, were C. opilio (1,167.2 kg/km2, 70.8%), B. magister (130.3 kg/km2, 7.9%), P. eous (102.4 kg/km2, 6.2%), Ophiuridae spp. (84.6 kg/km2, 5.1%), Enteroctopus dofleini (45.5 kg/km2, 2.8%), A. lar (35.7 kg/km2, 2.2%), Strongylocentrotidae sp. (25.0 kg/km2, 1.5%) and S. birostrata (22.1 kg/km2, 1.3%). Among them, S. birostrata, E. dofleini, Strongylocentrotidae sp. and Ophiuridae spp. were higher abundance and biomass in the shallow water (<200 meters in depth), whereas C. opilio, P. eous, A. lar, N. communis and B. magister were higher in the deep water (301 ~ 500 meters in depth).As the results of cluster analysis and non-metric multidimensional scaling (nMDS) analysis based on the Bray-Curtis similarity of fourth root transformed data for number of species and individuals, the macrobenthic invertebrates community by Danish seine survey was divided into two groups of station in the shallow water (<200 meters in depth, Group A) and the deep water (201 ~ 500 meters in depth, Group B). The major individual-dominant species was S. birostrata, Ophiuridae spp. and immature C. opilio in group A. But Group B was P. eous, A. lar, B. magister and mature C. opilio.
본 연구는 2012년 3월 저수온기 동해연안의 10개 정 점에서 식물플랑크톤의 군집구조를 세포의 크기에 따라 구분하여 조사하였다. 식물플랑크톤의 총 개체수는 3.4 ×106~7.6×106 cells L-1, 탄소량은 0.08×108~6.3×108 pg L-1로 나타났다. 개체수를 기반으로 생물량을 보았을 때, 극미소플랑크톤의 비율이 미세∙미소 플랑크톤보다 높았다. 그러나 탄소량을 기반으로 하는 생물량을 보았 을 때, 극미소플랑크톤은 세포 크기가 작아 기여도가 미 미하였고, Coscinodiscus속과 같이 크기가 큰 종들은 기 여도가 높았다. 이와 같이 식물플랑크톤의 생물량을 정 확하게 파악하기 위해서는 다양한 관점으로 여러 항목 을 조사할 필요성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 식물플랑크 톤의 군집 구조를 확인한 결과, 총 10개 정점 중에 8 정 점에서 극미소플랑크톤이 우점하였다. 또한 8개 정점에 서 미소플랑크톤의 개체수가 미세플랑크톤보다 높은 비 율을 나타냈다. 미세∙미소플랑크톤 중에서는 규조류의 비율이 95% 이상이었다. 극미소플랑크톤의 군집구조를 살펴보면, 5가지의 형태학적 특성이 다른 군집이 확인되 었으며, 7개 정점에서 S type이 가장 우점한 것으로 나 타났다. 본 연구를 통해 확인된 극미소플랑크톤이 차지 하는 생태학적 기여도가 커 이들에 대한 연구가 꾸준히 수행되어야 하며, 이를 위하여 그들의 분류학적 체계 구 축과 생리학적 특성 연구가 선행되어야 할 것으로 판단 된다. 이와 같은 연구를 기반으로 향후, 변화하고 있는 동해연안에서 생물 군집 변화 현상을 규명할 수 있을 것이다.
본 연구는 낙동강 하구역 연안 사주섬 식생의 발달과 분포 특성을 규명하고자 시행하였다. 총 118개의 식생자료를 획득되었다. 좌표결정법에 의해 식물종과 환경요소들 간의 관계를 규명하였으며, 이를 위해 RIM 등의 프로그램을 이용하였다. 총 12개의 식물군락이 구분되었으며, 건생형과 습생형으로 대분류 되었다. 이들 식물군락은 사주와 염습지를 대표하는 하는 식생형으로 건생형은 해송군락, 순비기나무군락, 좀보리사초군락, 띠군락, 물억새군락, 갯메꽃군락, 습생형은 개수양버들-산조풀군락, 갈대-산조풀군락, 쇠보리-갈대군락, 갈대군락, 새섬매자기군락, 나문재-칠면초군락 등으로 구분되었다. 공간적으로 건생형 초본과 염습지의 갈대군락 및 새섬매자기군락이 가장 넓게 분포하고 있었다. 해안 사주의 대부분은 갈대군락이 대상으로 분포하며, 해안가에서는 새섬매자기군락이 관찰되었다. 현존식생도에서 가장 넓은 면적을 구성하는 식생유형은 새섬매자기군락, 염습지 갈대군락, 건생초원식생이다. 대부분의 사주섬 가장자리에는 염습지 갈대군락이 대상으로 분포하며, 그 외곽에 새섬매자기군락이 발달하고 있다. 해안 사구식생과 염습지 식생은 각각 말단사주섬의 전방과 후방 지역에 분포하였다.
해안에 인공물을 건설하기 전에 교통영향평가나 환경영향평가는 필수적으로 이루어지고 있으나, 심미적 가 치는 몇몇의 인공물에서 필요에 의해 전문가들 의견 위주로의 조사가 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 선행연구를 통해 해양의 심미적 가치의 개념과 특성을 알아보고, 심미적 가치가 다른 영향평가들과 같이 표준화, 객관화된 방법으로 평가 할 수 있도록 시뮬레이션 기법을 이용하여 대중의 선호도를 정책에 반영할 수 있는 시스템을 설계하였다. 특히 정책에 반영할 수 있도록 인공물의 평가대상을 구분하고, 그 평가 요소를 객관적 차원의 요소인 색채, 형태, 질감으로 분류하여 시뮬레이션 할 수 있도록 하였다. 차후 주관적 차원의 요소도 그 특성을 AHP기법(의사결정방법)을 이용하여 분석해 적 용할 수 있도록 할 예정이다.
