Abstract

The distribution patterns of anchovy eggs and larvae and environmental characteristics such as oceanographic conditions and meteorological factors in the eastern part of Jeju Strait, Korea from June to October 2003 were investigated. During the sampling periods, the anchovy spawned on the coastal area mainly and approximately 85% of total egg abundance occurred in only two months, from July to August, suggesting that the main spawning season of anchovies is considered in summer from July and August in the study area. Relatively high proportions of the anchovy larvae larger than 20 mm TL observed in the eastern part area. These facts suggest that anchovy larvae gradually moved out to the eastern part of study area. Most wind speeds were markedly reduced to below 10 m/s with the exception of a few days and the precipitation was concentrated (37%) from July to August when the anchovy eggs and larvae occurred abundantly. Results of correlation analysis showed that the anchovy egg abundance correlated with the increasing chlorophyll a and copepod biomass. It is considered that the plankton biomass in the sea area would have significant effects on the anchovy spawning. In addition, salinity variations also had significant effects on the abundance of anchovy larvae, with increasing water temperature.

2003년 6월부터 10월에 걸쳐 제주해협 동부해역에서의 멸치 난 자치어 분포패턴과 기상요인을 포함한 해양환경의 특성들에 대해 조사하였다. 조사기간 동안 멸치 난들은 주로 연안에 근접한 해역에서 풍부하게 출현하고 있었고, 전체 난 출현량의 약 85% 정도가 7월과 8월에 발생하고 있어서 이번 연구해역에서 멸치의 주산란기는 여름철로 추정되었다. 크기별 멸치 자치어의 분포현황을 살펴본 결과, 비교적 20 mm TL 이상의 자치어들은 연구해역의 동쪽에서 상대적으로 높은 비율로 출현하고 있었다. 멸치의 주산란기인 여름철 연구해역 내 기상현황을 보면 바람인 경우 대부분 10 m/s 미만의 약한 풍속의 바람이 지속적으로 불고 있었고, 연간 강수량 중 37% 정도가 7월과 8월에 집중되고 있었다. 멸치 난 자치어 출현량과 해양 환경요인들과의 상관관계 분석 결과, 난 출현량은 클로로필 a 농도와 요각류 생물량과 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보인 반면 자치어 출현량은 수온과는 유의한 양의 상관관계, 염분과는 유의한 음의 상관관계를 보여주고 있었다.
