Abstract
The cell numbers of heterotrophic bacteria inhabiting the surface and bottom sea water harvested from the 5 stations in the marine ranching ground of Tongyeong coastal waters in $2003{\sim}2007$ were examined, and species composition of the heterotrophic bacterial population and dominant species were analyzed as well. Sea water samples collected in summer season contained much higher number of heterotrophic bacteria than those harvested in winter, spring and autumn seasons due to the higher sea water temperature. However the cell number of heterotrophic bacteria did not show a significant dependence on the location of the sampling stations. The cell number of heterotrophic bacteria in the surface sea water harvested in October 2003 and in September 2004 was not discernibly different from that in the bottom sea water and sometimes the former was even fewer than the latter because of the typhoon and localized torrential downpour. The number of heterotrophic bacteria decreased every year. The main bacterial species were Pseudomonas fluorescens TY1, Pseudomonas stutzeri TY2, Acinetobacter lwoffii TY3, Sphingomonas paucimobilis TY4, Burkholderia mallei TY5, Pasteurella haemolytica TY6, Pasteurella multocida TY7, Comamonas acidovorans TY8, Actinobacillus ureae TY9 and Chryseobacterium indologenes TY10. P. fluorescens TY1 and A. lwoffii TY3 were found to be the dominant species.
[ $2003{\sim}2007$ ]년 통영 바다목장 해역 5개 정점을 대상으로 표층수와 저층수의 종속영양세균의 개체수를 측정하고, 종속영양세균 군집의 종조성 및 우점종을 분석하였다. 종속영양세균은 겨울이나 봄 및 가을에 비하여 해수의 온도가 높은 여름에 더 많이 검출되었으며, 정점별 변화는 특별한 변화 경향이 없었다. 2003년 10월 및 2004년 9월에는 태풍과 집중호우의 영향으로 표층수와 저층수의 개체수가 큰 차이를 나타내지 않거나 저층수의 개체수가 표층수보다 오히려 더 많은 경우도 있었다. 통영 바다목장 해역의 종속영양세균 개체수는 해를 거듭할수록 감소하는 추세를 나타내었다. 종속영양세균 군집의 종조성은 Pseudomonas fluorescens TY1, Pseudomonas stutzeri TY2, Acinetobacter lwoffii TY3, Sphingomonas paucimobilis TY4, Burkholderia mallei TY5, Pasteurella haemolytica TY6, Pasteurella multocida TY7, Comamonas acidovorans TY8, Actinobacillus ureae TY9 및 Chryseobacterium indologenes TY10으로 조사되었고, P. fluorescens TY1과 A lowffii TY3이 우점종으로 분석되었다.
