An Assessment of Primary Productivity Determined by Stable Isotopes and Diving-PAM in the Pyropia Sea Farms of the Manho (Jindo-Haenam) Region on the Southwestern Coast of the Korean Peninsula

The effects of water temperature, salinity, water column nutrient contents, and phytoplankton primary productivity on pigment composition and concentration, as well as primary productivity of Pyropia yezoensis Ueda purple lavers were studied at the primary cultivation areas in the Manho (Jindo-Haenam) region on the southwestern coast of Korea in March 2014. The water temperature was $9.1{\sim}9.6^{\circ}C$, salinity was 32.5~33.1, and transparency was 0.7~1.5 m. The shallow euphotic depth resulted from the high turbidity. Water column dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP), and silicate concentrations were $3.59{\sim}5.73{\mu}M$, $0.16{\sim}0.41{\mu}M$, and $12.41{\sim}13.94{\mu}M$, respectively. Chlorophyll a (Chl a) concentration was $0.51{\sim}1.25{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$. Nanoplankton ($0.7{\sim}20{\mu}m$ size class) accounted for 58% of the total Chl a concentration. Fucoxanthin was the dominant photosynthetic pigment at all sites. Microplankton ($20{\sim}200{\mu}m$ size class) accounted for 64% of the total fucoxanthin concentration. The primary productivity of phytoplankton was $57.72{\pm}4.67(51.05{\sim}66.71)mg\;C\;m^{-2}d^{-1}$. The nanoplankton ($0.7{\sim}20{\mu}m$ size class) accounted for 77% of the total phytoplankton primary productivity. The calculated phytoplankton primary productivity was $11,337kg\;C\;d^{-1}$. The primary productivity of Pyropia blades was $1,926{\pm}192(1,102{\sim}2,597)mg\;C\:m^{-2}d^{-1}$, i.e., calculated as $39,295kg\;C\;d^{-1}$. The total primary productivity of phytoplankton and Pyropia blades was $50,632kg\;C\;d^{-1}$. The primary productivity of Pyropia blades was 3.5 times greater than that of phytoplankton in the Manho region on the southwestern coast of Korea.

안정동위원소 및 Diving-PAM을 이용한 남서해안 만호해역 (진도-해남) 김 양식장에서의 일차 생산력

김 양식을 하고 있는 해역의 물리 화학적인 해양환경 특성, 식물플랑크톤 색소 조성과 농도, 식물플랑크톤 및 방사무늬김의 일차 생산력을 2014년 3월에 김 양식이 이루어지고 있는 만호해역에서 조사를 하였다. 수온은 $9.1{\sim}9.6^{\circ}C$, 염분은 32.5~33.1이었고, 투명도는 높은 탁도로 인하여 유광층이 낮아져 0.7~1.5 m를 보였다. 수층의 용존 무기질소, 용존 무기인 및 규산 규소 각각의 농도는 $3.59{\sim}5.73{\mu}M$, $0.16{\sim}0.41{\mu}M$, $12.41{\sim}13.94{\mu}M$이었다. 클로로필 a 농도는 $0.51{\sim}1.25{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$이었고, $0.7{\sim}20{\mu}m$ 범위의 nanoplankton의 클로로필 a 농도가 58%를 차지하였다. 규조류의 marker 색소인 fucoxanthin의 농도는 $0.51{\sim}1.25{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$로서 전 정점에서 높은 값이었고, $20{\sim}200{\mu}m$ 범위의 fucoxanthin이 64%를 차지하였다. 식물플랑크톤에 의한 일차 생산력은 $57.72{\pm}4.67(51.05{\sim}66.71)mg\;C\;m^{-2}\;d^{-1}$이었고, $0.7{\sim}20{\mu}m$ 범위의 nanoplankton이 76.9%를 차지하였으며, 면적을 고려한 일차 생산력은 $11,337kg\;C\;d^{-1}$이었다. 방사무늬김에 의한 평균 일차 생산력은 $1,926{\pm}192(1,102{\sim}2,597)mg\;C\;m^{-2}d^{-1}$이었고, 면적을 고려한 일차 생산력은 $39,295kg\;C\;d^{-1}$이었다. 식물플랑크톤과 방사무늬김에 의한 일차 생산력을 토대로 계산된 만호해역의 일차 생산력은 $50,632kg\;C\;d^{-1}$로 나타났다. 만호해역의 식물플랑크톤에 의한 일차 생산력이 다른 해역보다 낮고, 김의 일차 생산력이 식물플랑크톤의 일차 생산력보다 약 3.5배 높았다.
