Abstract
The community structure and micro-scale distribution of plankton in relation to hydrography were investigated in Masan Bay, Korea in October 1989. Warmer and less saline waters with stratification was located in the inner part of the Pudo Strait, and chlorophyll-a and nutrients were higher. Both phytoplankton biomass and nutrients was changed dramatically around the Strait. Offshore/oceanic species in phytoplankton i.e., Chaetoceres decipiens, Rhizosolenia stolterforthii, Rhizosolenia styliformis and Ceratium trichoceros and zooplankton i.e., Sagitta enflata, Oncaea uenusta and Oikopluera longicaudata occurred mainly in well mixed waters of the outer part. This suggests that discontinuous layer seems to play an important role as an approximate border for the plankton population. This layer was located between Station 3 and Station 4 near the Pudo Strait, since the layer consisted of a series of micro-scale discontinuties of salinity and dissolved inorganic nutrients gradient. Phytoplankton patchs of more than 801e1 were found only in the inner part of the bay. Depletion of silicate caused by a rapid assimilation of phytoplankton in the inner part of the bay seemed to be responsible for the decline of blooms.
1989년 10월, 진해만에서 수괴의 물리화학적 요인과 관련된 플랑크톤의 미세분포와 군집구조를 micro-scale 관측을 통하여 분석하였다. 부도수도 내측에는 비교적 온난, 저염의 성층화된 수괴(stratified waters)가 존재하였으며, 풍부한 클로로필양과 영양염류가 관찰되었다. 식물플랑크톤의 생물량과 영양염류는 부도수도의 내측과 외측에서 현저한 변화를 보였다 외만성 혹은 해양성의 식물플랑크톤(Chaetoceros decipiens, Rhizosolenia stolterforthii, Rhizosolenia styliformis, and Ceratium trichoceros)과 동물플랑크톤(Sagitta enflata, Oncaea venusta and Oikopluera longicaudata)은 부도수도 외측의 혼합된 수괴(mixed water)에서만 관찰되었다. 이는 부도수도해역의 정점 3과 4사이에서 염분과 영양염류의 구배에 따른 불연속층(discontinuous layer)이 존재하고 있음을 암시하며, 이 불연속층이 플랑크톤 군집분포에 중요한 영향을 미치는 것으로 생각된다. 부도수도 내측에서는 클로로필양이
