  • Field observations and culture experiments have been carried out during the rainy season (on the 6th, 8th and 27th July 2009) to examine changes in the primary productivity and associated plant pigments in the estuary of the Seom-jin River. Primary productivity was determined at four sampling stations along the salinity gradient. On 6th July (before heavy rain) primary productivity ranged from 689~1,169 mgC $m^{-2}$ $d^{-1}$. On the 8th, just after more than 216.5 mm of precipitation, euphotic layers at all stations were reduced to very shallow water because of the high concentration of suspended solids in the water. This resulted in dramatically decreased primary productivity down to as low as 12~32 mg C $m^{-2}$ $d^{-1}$. However, after the rain, primary productivity on the 27th ranged from 266~999 mgC $m^{-2}$ $d^{-1}$, demonstrating a fast recovery in the upper stream water to similar productivity levels to those before the rainy season. Concentration of fucoxanthin in the water was highest on the 6th July. Before the rain, concentration of the zeaxanthin, increased as the salinity decreased. Immediately after the heavy rain, the Chl b (Chlorophytes) concentration was higher at all sites than before the rainy season. The concentration of fucoxanthin decreased after the heavy rain. At the downstream site, peridinin (Dinoflagellates) were found. During the rainy season, the diatoms contributed to the primary productivity at all sites. However, after the rainy season, Chl b (Chlorophytes) and Peridinin (Dinoflagellates) increased, demonstrating the enhanced contribution of those species in addition to diatoms.

  • Natural seaweed beds and habitat environments were investigated using quantitative and qualitative methods from May to December 2015 at 3 sites in Gangneung, Uljin, and Busan along the eastern coast of Korea. In total, 9 green, 23 brown, and 64 red algal taxa were identified. The biomass of the seaweed at Gangneung was 173.2 to $613.8wet\;wt.g/m^2$ of Dictyota divaricata, 360.8 to $520.4wet\;wt.g/m^2$ of Symphyocladia linearis, and 25.9 to $470.8wet\;wt.g/m^2$ of Undaria pinnatifida. At Uljin, these numbers were 5.5 to $256.2wet\;wt.g/m^2$ of Plocamium telfarirae and 46.8 to $241.5wet\;wt.g/m^2$ of Agarum clathratum. The biomass of Sargassum coreanum and Ecklonia cava were 388.1 to $6,972.4wet\;wt.g/m^2$ and 194.9 to $958.5wet\;wt.g/m^2$, respectively, at Busan. S. coreanum and E. cava showed higher biomass compared to other seaweed at Busan. The biomass rate represented an average of 19.2 percent of the total population, ranging from 0.0 to 55.5 percent in Gangneung. In Uljin, the average was calculated as 63.8 percent, and this figure was 48.5 percent in Busan. The percentage of barren ground averaged 46.7 percent in Gangneung and 91.1 percent in Uljin. Uljin showed the highest percentage of barren ground compared to other regions. Sea urchin density appeared to be $6.0ind./m^2$ in Gangneung, $7.0ind./m^2$ in Uljin, and $2.0ind./m^2$ in Busan, with the lowest sea urchin density being that of Busan. In conclusion, the composition of species, appearance ratio, and abundance of vegetation found were similar to previous studies, but it is thought that continuous monitoring is needed due to concerns about physical and chemical pollution caused by global warming, climate change, and coastal development.

  • This study was carried out to provide basic data for water environmental control and conservation, and to elucidate monthly water environmental factor, phytoplankton flora and dominant species that each stations was maked a selection of a sites by represent 3 branch-river in the Taejon area from Nov. 1997 to Dec. 1998. Range of water temperature was $2.4^{\circ}C{\sim}30.9^{\circ}C$(means of $16.02^{\circ}C{\sim}18.92^{\circ}C$), pH was 7.1~10.4(means of 7.40~8.68). BOD was generally under $5mg/{\ell}$ except Gap-chon kyo in Nov. and COD was measured highly by interfer of men at the each sites. Especially, occasion of Gap-chon kyo, data was estimated about 3~13 times higher than another sites. DO was showed 1.03~10.43ppm, SS was showed $1.0{\sim}120.0mg/{\ell}$ TN was that, upper stream was 0.63ppm, middle was 0.35ppm and then lower was 0.44ppm, upper stream was higher than lower. TP was at upper stream 0.03ppm, middle 0.05ppm, lower 0.06ppm, lower stream was higher than another. The phytoplankton flora was identified as total 230 taxa composed of 7 classes, 18 oders 35 families, 75 genara, 184 species, 42 virieties, 4 forms. There are composed of that, Chlorophyceae 94 taxa(40.9%), Bacillariophyceae 66 taxa(28.8%), Euglenophyceae 39 taxa(17.0%), Cyanophyceae 24 taxa(10.4%), Chrysophyceae 4 taxa(1.7%), Rhodophyceae 2 taxa(0.8%) Xanthophyceae 1 taxa(0.4%), composition of Spesies of each sites was Gapchon-kyo 119, Wonchon-kyo 94, Gasuwon-kyo and Mannyon-kyo 87, Ochung-kyo 78, Hyunam-kyo and Suchim-kyo 77, Moonchang-kyo 70 taxa and Sansung-kyo 58 taxa. Number of species was showed tendency of increase lower stream. Taejon-chon and youdung-chon and at the sites of confluence were presented Synedra ulna and Diatom vugare like bacillariophyceae, Gap-chon was dominated variously Oscillatoria princeps and chlorophyceae, confluence of 3 branch-river was presented Euglenophyceae.

  • To know the antibiotic specificity of a Dinoflagellate, Cochlodinium polykrikoides, we investigated the survival time of C. polykrikoides against several concentrations of antibiotics and judged the selective specificity of antibiotics based on the $LT_50$ ($50\%$ of lethal time). The result showed that C. polykrikoides was sensitive to tetracycline and chloramphenicol, and resistant to polymixin-B, ampicillin, penicillin-G, dihydrostreptomycin, and neomycin. In the case of sensitive antibiotics to C. polykrikoides, tetracycline and chloramphenicol, the safety concentrations of both antibiotics were determined and the antibiotic specificity based or the plotted survival curve was analyzed. Before antibiotic treatment, we tested the antibiotic susceptibility of the contaminated bacterial population in tile culture of C. polykrikoides, and decided the proper kinds of antibiotics and concentrations before percoll-centrifugation. By percoll-centrifugation, we reduced bacteria, removed fungi, collected the algal pellet, and made axonic culture by antibiotic cascade procedure based on the result of antibiotic susceptibility test. We observed that axonic C. polykrikoides culture entered the logarthmic phase of growth when cell density was over 740 cells/ml and propagated to 5,800 cells/ml maximally. Divisions per day, k value of C. polykrikoides represented a good index for growth at the low density of cells. There was a highest k value shift before reaching to the logarithmic phase. We suggested that the preceeding highest k value shift stage is a good indicator for accurate broadcasting for red. tide blooming in the field, and the stage is also a good time for controlling red tide blooming in the filed, either.
