Abstract

This study was carried out in August and September 2016 to investigate the species composition and biomass of benthic diatoms in Yubu Island, Gomso Bay, Imja Island, and Yeoja Bay tidal flat of Southwestern coast. There were 181 species of 48 genera in Yubu Island tidal flats, 194 species of 51 genera in Gomso Bay tidal flats, 224 species of 64 genera in Imja Island tidal flats and 188 species of 56 genera in Yeoja Bay tidal flats. A total of 274 species of 70 genera appeared. Pennales appeared more widely than Centrales and were dominated by Paralia sulcata and Navicula spp. Biomass of Yubu Island tidal flat ranged from $18.8-136.1mg\;m^{-2}$, $31.9-215.7mg\;m^{-2}$ in Gomso Bay, $2.9-120.2mg\;m^{-2}$ in Imja Island and $10.1-147.7mg\;m^{-2}$ in Yeoja Bay. The range of total biomass from 4 areas was $2.9-215.7mg\;m^{-2}$. The concentration of phaeopigment and degradation product of chlorophyll-a was $1.7-470.8mg\;m^{-2}$ in Yubu Island tidal flat, $52.3-277.2mg\;m^{-2}$ in Gomso Bay, $0.6-78.9mg\;m^{-2}$ in Imja Island and $39.1-346.3mg\;m^{-2}$ in Yeoja Bay. Compared with the results reported in this study area and the domestic tidal flats, it cannot be directly compared and evaluated due to various factors such as the timing of the survey, the frequency of the survey, the analysis method and geography. The southwestern coast of Korea has a variety of benthic diatoms and the high concentration of chlorophyll-a is the main determinant of primary productivity.

본 연구는 한국 남서해안 갯벌 중 유부도, 곰소만, 임자도, 여자만 갯벌의 저서돌말류 종조성 및 생물량을 알아보기 위해 2016년 8월과 9월에 현장조사를 실시하였다. 유부도 갯벌에서 저서돌말류는 48속 181종, 곰소만 갯벌에서 51속 194종, 임자도 갯벌에서 64속 224종, 여자만 갯벌에서 56속 188종이 출현 하였으며, 총 70속 274종이 출현하였다. 분류군 가운데 중심돌말목보다 우상돌말목이 다양하게 출현하였고 우점종은 중심돌말목의 Paralia sulcata와 Navicula spp.였다. 유부도 갯벌의 생물량은 정점별로 $18.8{\sim}136.1mg\;m^{-2}$, 곰소만 갯벌 $31.9{\sim}215.7mg\;m^{-2}$, 임자도 갯벌 $2.9{\sim}120.2mg\;m^{-2}$, 여자만 갯벌 $10.1{\sim}147.7mg\;m^{-2}$, 4개 지역의 총 생물량 범위는 $2.9{\sim}215.7mg\;m^{-2}$였다. 엽록소 a의 분해 산물인 phaeopigment 농도로는 유부도 갯벌에서 $1.7{\sim}470.8mg\;m^{-2}$, 곰소만 갯벌에서 $52.3{\sim}277.2mg\;m^{-2}$, 임자도 갯벌에서 $0.6{\sim}78.9mg\;m^{-2}$, 여자만 갯벌에서 $39.1{\sim}346.3mg\;m^{-2}$으로 나타났다. 조사 대상지역의 종 다양성과 생물량은 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 한국의 남서해안은 다양한 저서돌말류가 서식하며 엽록소 a의 높은 농도는 일차생산력을 결정하는 주요인자다.
