Abstract

Water temperature, salinity, the phytoplankton community and population of a marine photosynthetic ciliate, Mesodinium rubrum (=Myrionecta rubra), were monitored every 0.5-2 weeks in Gomso Bay and the Geum River Estuary from September 1999 to December 2000. Patterns of temporal variation of the M. rubrum population and phytoplankton community were compared with each other in relation to the differences in temporal fluctuation patterns of the water temperature and salinity in the two study areas. Higher population densities and more frequent blooms of M. rub rum in the Geum River Estuary than those in Gomso Bay could be due to the relatively higher nutrient input by freshwater influx in the Geum River Estuary. In the Geum River Estuary which experience more abrupt and irregular fluctuations of salinity, M. rubrum with its greater tolerance to salinity change exhibited increased dominance while neritic diatoms such as Skeletonema costatum, Asterionellopsis glacialis, A. kariana, Chaetoceros debilis, Eucampia zodiacus, Paralia sulcata, Thalassiosira pacifica, T. nordenskioeldii showed decreased dominance compared with those in Gomso Bay. Thus, it is possible that M. rubrum replaces the dominant diatom species in coastal waters where artificial modification of coast lines as in the case of Saemankeum Reclamation Project should increase the frequency as well as the absolute scale of freshwater discharges.

담수의 유입량 및 유입특성이 서로 다른 서해의 곰소만과 금강하구역에서 1999년 9월부터 2000년 12월까지 0.5-2주일 간격으로 수온, 염분, 식물플랑크톤 군집 및 Mesodinium rubrum(=Myrionecta rubra) 개체군의 변동 특성을 연구하였다. 두 해역에서 수온과 염분 환경의 차이에 의한 식물플랑크톤 군집과 M. ruburm개체군의 시계열적 변동 양상의 상이성에 대하여 비교 $.$분석하였다. 불규칙한 담수 방류에 의하여 상류 기원의 부영양물질의 유입이 많은 금강하구역에서는 곰소만에 비하여 평균 밀도가 더 높은 M. ruburm개체군이 유지됨과 동시에, M. ruburm대발생의 빈도와 규모가 더 크다는 사실이 확인되었다 또한 보다 급격한 염분 변화를 보였던 금강하구역에서는 Skeletonema costatum을 비롯한 Asterionellopsis glacialis, A. kariana, Chaetoceros debilis, Eucampia zodiacus, Paralia sulcata, Thalassiosira pacifica, T. nordenskioeldii 등의 연안성 규조류의 우점도가 곰소만에서 보다 낮았던 반면, 염분 변화에 대한 내성이 강한 M. ruburm이 높은 우점율을 나타내었다. 향후 서해 연안에 새만금방조제와 같은 인공구조물이 건설되어 불규칙한 담수 방류의 빈도와 규모가 증가할 경우, 인근 해역에는 우점 규조류 대신 M. ruburm이 우점하게 될 가능성이 있다.
