To determine diel and seasonal variations in abundance and species composition of fishery resources, day and night samples were collected by a bag net from April through November 1997 off Kogunsan-gundo. A total of 75 species was collected. The total catch was consisted of 71% fish, 18% shrimps, 7% cephalopods and 4% crabs. Pholis fangi and Engraulis japonicus predominated, and accounted for 87% of the total number of fish collected. Most of them were larvae and juvniles. P. fangi and Ammodyres personatus occurred from April to June, and E. japonicus occurred from July to November, suggesting that they used the coastal areas as nursery ground at the different season to avoid competition. Dominant fish larvae and juveniles showed the significant diel difference in catch.

한국 서해안 해조류에 관한 연구는 Kang (1966)이 '한국 해조류의 지리적 분포에 관한 연구'의 일환으로서 총 140종의 출현종을 정리한 이후, 본격적으로 시작되었다. 서해안 해조류 연구는 초기에 주로 출현종의 목록 작성 및 종의 기재를 위주로 하는 지역 해조상 조사가 행해져 오다가(이, 1973; 강 등, 1980), 이를 기초로 해서 점차 지역 해조 군집의 구조를 밝히는 생태학적 연구로 접근하여 왔다(강과 송, 1984). (중략)

We collected fish from the intertidal zone of Seonyu-do Island in order to find out the composition of fish species by using hand net and kick net from March to October 2022. During the investigation period, a total of 2,707 individuals from 9 Orders, 19 Families, 45 Species were collected, and the dominant species was identified as Nuchequula nuchalis and the subdominant species was Favonigobius gymnauchen. By family group, the largest number of fishes in the Gobiidae were 13 species, followed by the Scorpaenidae and the Stichaeidae were 4 species. In this study, genus Clariger was discovered for the first time off the West sea, and it is estimated that fish living on the southern coast are moving northward due to an increase in the water temperature of the West Sea and detailed research is needed.

This study examined the spatio-temporal distributions of the phytoplankton community in the coastal waters of Gogunsan Islands (CoWGIs), West Sea of Korea, from January to September 2011. A total of 104 species of phytoplankton belonging to 56 genera were identified. This was low compared to the surrounding seas of the West Sea. In particular, diatoms and dinoflagellates comprised 60.5% and 34.6%, respectively, and it was most diverse in autumn. The standing crops fluctuated from $9.6{\times}10^4cells/L$ to $1.0{\times}10^7cells/L$. This was high in winter and summer and low in spring and autumn. The seasonal dominant species were Skeletonema costatum-like species, Thalassiosira nordenskioeldii, Dactyliosolen fragillisimus, and Chaetoceros debilis in winter, Guinardia delicatula in spring, Eucampia zodiacus, Cylindrotheca closterium, Ch. debilis, and Ch. curvisetus in summer, and S. costatum-like species, Ch. debilis, Ch. curvisetus, G. delicatula, and Leptocylindrus danicus in autumn. The total number of autochthonous and tychopelagic species was 39 species. This showed a 1/3 (33.3%) decrease compared to the 1980's. The chlorophyll a concentration fluctuated from $3.82{\mu}g/L$ in autumn to $13.36{\mu}g/L$ in summer. The bio-oceanographic characteristics of the CoWGIs based on principle component analysis (PCA) showed that it was dominated by the Saemangeum water mass in the high temperature season and by the Geum River water mass in the low temperature season. In other words, there has been a conversion to a closed inner bay followed by the dramatic progress of eutrophication, even in the CoWGIs after completion of the Saemangeum embankment.

The purpose of this study is to find a variation in traveling patterns of soil and soil diffusion due to construction of the sea dike in Saemangum coastal sea region. Water circulations are calculated diagnostically from the observed water temperature, salinity and wind data, and tidal residual current. Three-dimensional movements of injected particles due to currents, turbulence and sinking velocity are tracked by the Euler-Lagrangian method. Calculated a variation in traveling patterns of soil and soil diffusion due to construction of the sea dike deposited mostly from estuarine area of the Geum River to Gokunsan coastal sea region. This results are believed to be the combined effect of coastal circulation.

The present study examines the circumstances around the establishment of the Seonyu Eight Scenic Spots (仙遊八景) in Gogunsan Islands and the characteristics of the landscape of each viewing point. The study conclusions are as follows. First, since the scenic spots were first established in 1969, their content and sequences have been changed several times, and their names have also been changed to some extent. Until the 1970s, these scenic spots did not have official names for them and were often specified as 'Gogunsan Eight Scenic Spots', and excluded 'the Musan Twelve Peaks (巫山十二峰)'. In addition, viewing points of the eight scenic spots varied across periods. This suggests that, for the early form of Seonyu Eight Scenic Spots, the picturesque scenery of Gogunsan Islands, and Seonyudo Island in particular, was chosen, while eight scenic spots in its vicinity were regarded. Second, the Seonyu Eight Scenic Spots of the early 2000s, which has all eight scenic spots of now, follows the nomenclature of the traditional eight scenic spots by specifying the sequence number with a refined name in four syllables. Its first scenic spot was Mangju Waterfall (望主瀑布) and its eighth scenic spot was Seonyu Sunset (仙遊落照); currently, the first scenic spot is Seonyu Sunset and the second scenic spot is Mangju Waterfall. Such change in the sequence of viewing points resulted from differences in representative landscape resources between the periods. Third, the lack of structure and finesse due to continuous changes is directed related to the identity issue of the Seonyu Eight Scenic Spots. Above all, it is unclear by whom and when Seonyu Eight Scenic Spots was established, and there are clear traces of following the eight scenic spots in the neighboring areas such as Okgu (沃溝) and Impi (臨陂)'s Eight Scenic Spots. Moreover, it is evaluated to have an unrefined, incomplete structure due to the lack of clarity in the knowledge and information about viewing objects, when to view, and historical and cultural background. Fourth, the first scenic spot, Seonyu Sunset, has the image that dominates the entire Eight Scenic Spots. The temporary landscape, the sunset, became the best view because it was perceived as the entirety of the landscape created by the fusion of the beautiful natural elements of Seonyudo Island. Therefore, there is ample room for raising the value of other landscape resources of Gogunsan Islands by utilizing the existing perception of exploring the entire landscape of Seonyudo Island and Gogunsan Islands starting with Seonyu Sunset. This likely requires additional work to imbue each viewing point with identity and completion.

In the present field study, the number of woody flora of Mt. Songni were summarized as 44 families, 89 generas, 140 species, 10 varities and 2 forms. Also, the flora among inland areas such as Mt. Paektu, Mt. Sorak, Mt. Songni, and Mt. Chiri, and insular areas, such as Oyoujong Island. Tokjok Archipelago, Kok-unsan Archipelago and Cheju Island, were compared, respectively, in order to interpret the characteristics of distribution patterns of the flora of this area. The flora of Mt. Songni were characterized as similar to the flora of Mt. Sorak, and also with that of Mt. Chiri. It was interpreted both the northern types of plants such as Aceraceae, Araliaceae, Fagaceae, Tiliaceae and Ulmaceae and the southern types of plants such as Celastraceae, Convolvulaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Rhamnaceae, Solanaceae, Crassulaceae and Urticaceae were fluxed considerably into this region.

Histopathological observations on a epidermal papilloma of wild red halibut (Hippogossoides dubius) caught at the area around Echung Island and Gogunsan Islands were done. The papilloma formed on the dorsal fin was the same color with the body on the ocular side but black on the non-ocular side. Under light microscopy, the tumor on the skin was very similar to epithelial papilloma supported by connective tissue. X-cell-like cells in the tumors were large and eosinophilic with a centrally-located, large nucleus. But the characteristic large nucleolus in the nucleus of the x-like cells was indistinct clear in this specimen because about 6-9 hours have passed after catching the fish and autolysis have occurred.
