Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate marine algal community characteristics and the status of barren ground in the summer at study sites on Jeju Island, Korea. Sampling was carried out from July to September 2017 using a qualitative and quantitative survey (including coverage of non-geniculated coralline algae and density of grazer) by scuba diving. A total of 121 species were identified, including 11 (9.1 %) green algae, 24 (19.8 %) brown algae, and 86 (71.1 %) red algae. Hyeongjeseom had the greatest diversity, with 60 species, and Harye the least, with 18 species. The mean biomass at the study sites was $1,503.0g{\cdot}m^{-2}$, while the mean for the neighboring islets ($3,268.7g{\cdot}m^{-2}$) was higher than that of the main island ($914.7g{\cdot}m^{-2}$). Also, dominant species was identified: Sargassum macrocarpum at the neighboring islets, and Ecklonia cava at the main island, with differences showing not only in biomass but also species composition. In conclusion, the marine algal community status in summer at the study sites was evaluated based on the algal community characteristics (species composition, biomass, biomass ratio of kelp species), coverage of non-geniculated coralline algae, and density of grazer. As a result, both Hyeongjeseom and Marado require preservation and management to maintain their excellent marine algal communities, and other sites on the main island require the creation and/or restoration of marine algal communities. In addition, as the generation of barren ground accelerates, it is urgent not only to grasp existing monitoring research but also to identify the status of the marine algal community where it is not known at present.

본 연구는 우리나라 제주 해역의 여름철 해조 군집 특성과 갯녹음 현황을 파악하고자 수행하였다. 연구는 2017년 7월부터 9월까지 스쿠버 다이빙(SCUBA Diving)을 이용하여 정량 조사 및 정성 조사를 시행하였다. 연구 결과 녹조류 11종(9.1 %), 갈조류 24종(19.8 %), 홍조류 86종(71.1 %) 등 총 121종의 해조류가 확인되었다. 지역별로는 형제섬이 60종으로 출현종수가 가장 많았으며, 하례가 18종으로 가장 적었다. 연구 지역의 평균 생물량은 $1,503.0g{\cdot}m^{-2}$이며, 주변 도서의 평균 생물량($3,268.7g{\cdot}m^{-2}$)이 본섬의 평균 생물량($914.7g{\cdot}m^{-2}$)보다 높았다. 우점종은 주변 도서에서 Sargassum macrocarpum, 본섬에서 Ecklonia cava로 나타나 생물량뿐만 아니라 종 조성에서도 차이를 보였다. 해조 군집 특성(종 조성, 생물량, 대형 갈조류의 생물량 비율), 무절산호말류의 피복도, 조식동물의 밀도 등을 토대로 연구 지역의 여름철 해조 군집 상태를 평가한 결과, 형제섬과 마라도 두 지역은 우수한 해조 군집을 유지하고 있는 것으로 판단되어 보전 및 지속적인 관리가 요구되며, 다른 6개 지역은 각 지역별로 해조 군집의 조성 내지 복원이 필요한 실정이다. 갯녹음 현상이 가속화됨에 따라 모니터링뿐만 아니라 현재 해조 군집의 현황 파악이 제대로 이루어지지 않은 지역을 대상으로 해양 생태계의 실태를 파악하는 일도 시급한 것으로 판단된다.
