Abstract
Seasonal variation in marine macroalgal community structure was examined at the intertidal zones of Heuksando and Hongdo, Shinan, Korea, from July 2008 to May 2009. In total, 86 macroalgal species were identified, including 12 green, 19 brown, and 55 red algae; 67 species at Heuksando and 70 species at Hongdo, were observed. Annual seaweed biomass was 252.44 g dry $wt/m^2$ at Heuksando and 217.67 g dry $wt/m^2$ at Hongdo. The dominant seaweed in importance value (IV > 15) differed between the sites: Sargassum thunbergii at Heuksando and Corallina pilulifera at Hongdo. The vertical distribution pattern of seaweeds from the upper to lower intertidal zones at Heuksando was Gloiopeltis spp., Ulva spp. - S. thunbergii, S. fusiforme, Hildenbrandia rubra - S. thunbergii, C. pilulifera. On the rocky shore of Hongdo, seaweed zonation was distinct: Porphyra yezoensis, Gloiopeltis spp., Ulva spp. - C. pilulifera, S. fusiforme, Myelophycus simplex - Chondrus ocellatus, C. pilulifera, and Carpopeltis affinis. Annual seaweed coverage, richness index (R), evenness index (J'), and diversity index (H') values were greater at Hongdo (41.35%, 12.82, 0.59, and 2.50 respectively) than at Heuksando (31.54%, 11.93, 0.44, and 1.87 respectively), which may indicate that the seaweed community at Hongdo is more stable relative to the one at Heuksando.
