The coral is precious and organic gemstone. It is Beautifully Red color. Coral jewelry have been used for a long time in Asia. Especially in Korea, The Coral is an traditional and popular gemstone. It is significant to get the base data for the purpose of distinguishing natural coral from imitation coral by comparing about gemmological character in this study. Color, luster, transparency, streak color, refractive index, hardness, chemical reaction, ultraviolet fluorescence, specific gravity, observation of microscope and XRD analysis were conducted for identification of natural and imitation coral. As a result, natural coral has usually $CaCO_3$ composition and calcite structure. But, it is known that imitation coral impregnate calcic and dyeing materials with pigment. And they were distinguished also from not only XRD analysis but also a few simple experiments like specific gravity, refractive index and chemical reaction. Natural coral is harder and luster then imitation coral. In breaking method, the streak color is used certification.

Taxonomic accounts are given to the four species of Corallinaceae, Amphiroa beauvoisii lamouroux, Jania yenoshimensis (Yendo) Yendo, Serraticardia maxima (Yendo) Silva and Corallina officinalis linnaeus, collected from Ullungdo Island, Korea. S. maxima (Y endo) Silva is introduced for the first time in Korea in this study. J. yenoshimensis (Yendo) Yendo accords well with the type speciemens but is very similar to J. arborescens in outer appearance. However it is distinguished from that in height and branching pattern. C. officinalis accords well with other plants collected from Europe and Japan except for large number of medullary cell layers.layers.

The Korean government has been trying to conserve a marine ecosystem that has been shifting due to climate change. As part of this effort, the government designated seventy-seven marine species that have been disappearing and deserve to be protected as endangered managing them specially. To generate basic data to guide policy for these endangered species, their value must be measured. OOf the species declared endangered, coral is particularly threatened by climate change, and its management is important. Accordingly, understanding the potential value of reefs, can be an effective way of proving the benefits of continuous management to decision makers and the general public alike. To this end, we have applied the contingent valuation method (CVM), an economic technique of for valuing a environmental and non-market goods such as a coral reef. A national face-to-face survey of 1,000 randomly selected households was conducted in order to determine the public's willingness to pay (WTP) for conserving coral reefs. A one-and-one-half-bound (OOHB) model was adopted to interpret WTP responses, and a spike model was employed to deal with zero WTP responses. The results show that the conservation value of a coral reef can be estimated at 3,016 won per household per year, statistically significant at the 1 % level. Expanding values to the national population gives an annual value of 58.9 billion won. We can conclude that the public is willing to pay a significant amount to conserve coral reefs.

최근 우리 나라의 연안은 갯녹음으로 황폐화되고 있으며, 이로 인하여 유용 수산자원이 감소하고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 갯녹음 현상은 서식지 환경요인들이 복합적으로 작용하고 있는 생태계의 변화로 연안의 암반은 산호말류로 피복되며 이들이 죽어서 하얗게 변하는 현상(정치ㆍ추강, 1980)으로서, 해중림과 산호말류 군집이 서로의 극상을 반복하는 생태적 현상으로 설명되기도 한다(중구, 1996). 갯녹음 지역의 유용 해중림 복원과 관련하여 갯녹음의 원인생물로 알려져 있는 포복성 산호조류의 종류와 그 생태를 파악하는 것은 무엇보다 시급한 과제이며 산호조류의 포자방출 패턴은 파악하는 것은 해중림 복원을 위한 효과적인 인공어초 투입의 시기를 결정하는데 중요한 요인이 된다.

The species composition and biomass of coralline algae around three (Uljin, Wolseong and Gori) nuclear power plants on the east coast of Korea were investigated seasonally from February 1997 to October 2006. As a result, 13 species of coralline algae were found during the past ten years. Among them, Corallina pilulifera, C. officinalis, Amphiroa zonata and Pneophyllum zostericolum were common species that occurred more than 50% in frequency during the study period. Species number of coralline algae were between 10$\sim$12 species at the breakwaters near the outfalls of power plants and 8$\sim$12 species at the control area, and differences in species composition were not observed among study sites. Seasonal fluctuations of mean biomass were 0$\sim$2,530 g dry wt m$^{-2}$ and dominant species in biomass was Corallina pilulifera at all the study sites. The breakwaters of power plants generally had a greater coralline algal biomass than the control area. Biomass proportions of coralline algae at the breakwaters of power plants were also higher than those at the control area. At the Uljin sites, particularly, biomass of coralline algae showed greatest in summer and biomass proportion showed highest during the summer season. Differences in the spatio-temporal patterns of coralline algae around three nuclear power plants on the east coast of Korea were presumably due to the regional temperature variations.

Feeding habits of Hippocampus mohnikei (4.1~10.4 cm SL) collected from an eelgrass bed in Dongdae Bay, Korea were studied. H. mohnikei was a carnivore fish which consumed mainly gammarid amphipods. Its diets also included a small amount of caprellid amphipods, tanaids, copepods, mysids, and eelgrass. Gammarid amphipods were the most important prey organisms to the diet of all size classes of H. mohnikei despite smaller H. mohnikei (<4.5 cm SL) fed copepods. H. mohnikei fed on larger sizes of prey as their size increased. The dietary breadth of H. mohnikei were decreased with increasing their size.
