Abstract

We conducted the weekly monitoring (December 2012~April 2013) to evaluate the temporal variation and identification of Stephanodiscus spp. that are generally dominant during winter in the Yeongsan River. Phytoplankton species were identified and counted using the optical microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Phytoplankton in the river were grouped into 6 classes (bacillariophyceae, chlorophyceae, cryptophyceae, cyanophyceae, dinophyceae, euglenophyceae), 30 genus and 41 species. Phytoplankton composition showed high abundance of diatoms in winter and Aulacoseira sp., Cyclotella sp. and Stephanodiscus spp. were dominant. Among the species, Stephanodiscus spp. was relatively abundant compared to other diatom species. Stephanodiscus spp. appeared from December 2012 to April 2013 and their abundance peaked in January. Abundance of diatoms especially peaked ($21,080cells\;mL^{-1}$) in January 15, 2013 when Stephanodiscus spp. also bloomed ($20,560cells\;mL^{-1}$). The abundances of Stephanodiscus spp. were gradually decreased from March and reached as low as $60cells\;mL^{-1}$ in April 26. Cyclostephanos (C. invisitatus), Cyclotella (C. meneghiniana), Discostella (D. pseudostelligera, D. woltereckii) and Stephanodiscus (S. hantzschii, S. minutulus, S. parvus) were classified in the circular diatoms. Abundance of S. hantzschii was extremely high compared to S. minutulus and S. parvus.

영산강에서 동계 대증식을 유발하는 Stephanodiscus속의 출현기간과 종 분류를 위해 2012년 12월부터 2013 년 4월까지 주 단위로 21회의 모니터링을 실시하였다. 동계 영산강에서는 규조류가 절대적으로 우세한 군집을 보였으며, 규조강 중 원형규조 Aulacoseira, Cyclotella, Stephanodiscus속이 주요 출현종으로 동정되었다. 이 중 Stephanodiscus spp.는 극우점 규조류로서 12월 초에 출현하기 시작하여 1월에 최대 개체수를 나타냈고, 3월까지 높은 분포를 보였다. 기온이 증가하기 시작하는 4월부터 개체수가 급격히 감소한 반면 녹조강, 남조강, 은편모조강 등이 증가하는 경향을 나타냈다. 우점종은 거의 모든 조사시기에 원형 중심목 규조류 (S. hantzschii)가 우점 및 차우점종으로 동정되었으며, 3월 말과 4월 중에는 남조강인 Anabaena sp.와 은편모조강인 Cryptomonas sp.가 우점 및 차우점종으로 출현함으로써 계절 변화에 따른 종 천이가 관찰되었다. 조사시기에 출현한 원형 중심목 규조류의 명확한 종 분류를 위해 전자현미경을 통해 동정한 결과, Stephanodiscus속 내의 S. hantzschii가 극우점한 가운데 부분적으로 S. minutulus와 S. parvus 동정되었으며, 그밖에 원형 중심목 규조류에는 Cyclostephanos속의 C. invisitatus와 Cyclotella속의 C. meneghiniana, Discostella속의 D. pseudostelligera, D. woltereckii가 동정되었다.
