Phytoplankton plays an important part as indicator and primary producer in marine ecosystem. Therefore, phytoplankton community appeared variously according to marine environment, so the data of nutrients, chlorophyll a, temperature, salinity, and DO were analyzed in seagrass bed of Yeoja Bay. Consequently, the phytoplankton community structures were associated with investigation time and place, and seen difference according to the existence and nonexistence of seagrass bed.

Monthly observations of phytoplankton and physico-chemical properties of sea water were made from October, 1977 to December, 1977 and from June, 1978 to August, 1978 at four stations in Cheonsu Bay. 141 taxa of phytoplankton(diatoms and dinoflagellates) representing 17 families, 40 genera have been identified in this study, and 11 taxa of the number are found to be new to Korea. Nitzschia longissima, Coscinodiscus occulus-iridis, Biddulphia sinensis, were the major species in the phytoplankton communities of the Bay. Leptocylindrus danicus, which was one of the dominant species in June, 1978, showed a distinct pattern of distribution;in June its abundance varied from 89.05% to 1.67% of total abundance along 4 stations. During summer months phytoplankton standing crops were ranged between 25,492 and 129,459 cells/l and the values of species diversity index (H) varied from 0.648 to 3.597. A brief taxonomic account is given.

In this study, we investigated the antimicrobial and antifungal activity from the wild seaweeds of Jeju island. The active ingredients of the seaweeds were prepared by 80% methanol extraction. Antimicrobial and antifungal activity of seaweed extracts was examined. We found that 6 plant extracts among 45 plants, namely, Codium contractum, Undaria pinnatifida, Ishige sinicola, Ishige okamurai, Ishige okamuriai, Ecklonia cava, Hizikia fusiformis, Ulva fasciata, Ulva pertusa, Sargassum siliquastrum, Ecklonia kurome, Gracilaria textorii, significantly inhibited growth of harmful microorganisms. Additionally, according to DPPH assay. 2 plant extracts were found to have antioxidant activities. Taken together, these results suggest the possibility that 11 plant extracts can be utilized as an antimicrobial agent.

There are increasing evidences of climate change in the Antarctic and Arctic Oceans, especially elevated temperature due to the continuous burning of the fossil fuels and ultraviolet B(UV-B) flux within the ozone hole. Light-dependent, temperature-sensitive, and fast-growing organisms respond to these physical and biogeochemical changes. Polar marine phytoplankton, which are pioneer endemic species and important carbon contributors in the polar waters, are therefore highly suitable biological indicators of such changes. By virtue of light requirement, the primary producers are exposed to extreme seasonal fluctuations in temperature, photosynthetically active radiation, and UV radiation. Local environmental warming and increased UV-B radiation during ozone depletion may have profound effects on the primary producers that are primary carbon producers in the polar water. Small changes in climate temperature and solar radiation may have profound effects on the activity threshold of the polar phytoplanktion. To demonstrate biological response to the environmental changes, standardized representative natural and biological parameters are needed so that replicate samples (including controls) can be taken over extended periods of time. In this paper, we review general characteristics of polar phytoplankton, their environment, environmental changes in the polar waters, the effects on the environmental changes to the polar phytoplankton, and the importance of the polar phytoplankton to understand the global environmental changes.

Phytoplankton controls marine ecosystems in terms of nutrients, photosynthetic rate, carbon cycle, etc. and the degree of its influence on the marine environment depends on their physical size. Many studies have been attempted to identify marine phytoplankton size classes using the remote sensing techniques. One of successful approach was the three-component model which estimates the chlorophyll concentrations of three phytoplankton size classes (micro-phytoplankton; >20 ㎛, nano-; 2-20 ㎛ and pico-; <2 ㎛) as a function of total chlorophyll. Here, we examined the applicability of Geostationary Ocean Colour Imager (GOCI) to the mapping of the phytoplankton size class distribution in the East Sea. A fit of the three-component model to a biomarker pigment dataset collected in the study area for some years including a large harmful algal bloom period has been carried out to derive size-fractioned chlorophyll concentration (CHL). The tuned three-component model was applied to the hourly GOCI images to identify the fractions of each phytoplankton size class for the entire CHL. Then, we investigated the distribution of phytoplankton community in terms of the size structure in the East Sea during the harmful Cochlodinium polykrikoides blooms in the summer of 2013.

Since the functional importance of marine phytoplankton was firstly advocated from early 1880s massive data on the species composition and abundance were produced by classical microscopic observation and the advanced auto-imaging technologies. Recently, pigment composition resulted from direct chemical analysis of phytoplankton samples or indirect remote sensing could be used for the group-specific quantification, which leads us to more diversified data production methods and for more improved spatiotemporal accessibilities to the target data-gathering points. In quite a few cases of many long-term marine ecosystem monitoring programs the phytoplankton species composition and abundance was included as a basic monitoring item. The phytoplankton data could be utilized as a crucial evidence for the long-term change in phytoplankton community structure and ecological functioning at the monitoring stations. Usability of the phytoplankton data sometimes is restricted by the differences in data producers throughout the whole monitoring period. Methods for sample treatments, analyses, and species identification of the phytoplankton species could be inconsistent among the different data producers and the monitoring years. In-depth study to determine the precise quantitative values of the phytoplankton species composition and abundance might be begun by Victor Hensen in late 1880s. International discussion on the quality assurance of the marine phytoplankton data began in 1969 by the SCOR Working Group 33 of ICSU. Final report of the Working group in 1974 (UNESCO Technical Papers in Marine Science 18) was later revised and published as the UNESCO Monographs on oceanographic methodology 6. The BEQUALM project, the former body of IPI (International Phytoplankton Intercomparison) for marine phytoplankton data QA/QC under ISO standard, was initiated in late 1990. The IPI is promoting international collaboration for all the participating countries to apply the QA/QC standard established from the 20 years long experience and practices. In Korea, however, such a QA/QC standard for marine phytoplankton species composition and abundance data is not well established by law, whereas that for marine chemical data from measurements and analysis has been already set up and managed. The first priority might be to establish a QA/QC standard system for species composition and abundance data of marine phytoplankton, then to be extended to other functional groups at the higher consumer level of marine food webs.

해양에 있어서의 생물체의 에너지 순환, 즉 해양에 있어서의 생산체계에서 이중 먼저 기초생산체계만이라도 그 전상을 파악하자는 일은 먼 옛날부터 해양생물학자들의 진지하고도 끊임없는 추구대상이었다. 해양에는 막대한 양의 바닷물이 잠겨있고, 이곳에는 엄청난 양의 생명체가 함양되어 있으며, 이것들은 피포식자-포식자의 계열에서 어떠한 균형상태를 이루고 있는가하는 문제는 극히 흥미가 진진한 문제이다. 해양에 함양되는 무수한 생명체들은 간단없이 명멸, 소장만을 거듭하고 있다는 시적인 형용과 연상은 한층 더 구체화되어야 한다. 이러한 경향은 또한 근래의 세계인구의 격증에 대비하는 인간의 식량조달의 필요상, 해양이 지닌 잠재적인 식량생산의 여력을 재평가하자는 기운에서 한층 더 박차가 가해졌었다. 식량생산의 보고로서 해양에 주어진 책무는 크기만 하다. 해양에 잠겨있는 막대한 양의 바닷물은 긴 년월에 걸쳐 자연이 조제한 훌륭한 하나의 배양액이라고 불수 있고, 이것의 다각적인 이용개발은 지금부터 시작되었다고 해도 과언이 아니다. 근래에 이르러 각종기구 및 측기의 발달에 따라 해양의 물리, 화학 및 생물학적인 미세구조가 점차적으로 해명됨에 따라 해양학에 있어서의 고전적이고 전통적인 개념에 수정을 강요하는 사태가 적지않게 일어나고 있다. 해양의 기초생산체계에 대한 개념도 크게 비약하고 있으며, 해양에 있어서의 식물플랭크톤->동물플랭크톤->소형동물->어류를 연결하는 일방통행적인 식물연쇄개념을 크게 확대하고 비약시키지 아니하면 안될 여러 가지 사실이 들어나고 있다. 해양의 생물생산계의 기초적인 역할을 하는 것은 식물플랭크톤, 데트리타스 (detritus)등을 포함한 미소현탁물이라는 것은 틀림이 없으나, 이것들이 생명물질 기워니 아니드라도 물리현상으로 일어나는 기포를 매개로 하여 생성할수 있는 가능성이 제시되었다. 여기서는 이러한 해양의 미소현탁물에 관한 연구에 대해서 그 의의와 연구결과를 요약 소개하여 해양학도들의 참고로 한다. 이 종설을 꾸미는데 Jorgensen(1962), riley(1963), Parsons(1963), 서택(1966)등의 같은 토픽스에 관한 종설을 많이 참고로 한 것을 부기한다.

Temporal variations in plankton assemblages and environmental factors in Asan Bay and their relationships were examined with the data collected from February till early June, 2005. Seawater temperatures showed typical pattern of temporal change observed in temperate waters. Salinity variation was minor. Phytoplankton biomass showed two peaks, one in February only in the inner part of the bay and the other in May in the whole bay. Phytoplankton succession was clearly shown with the increase of seawater temperatures. Diatom (Bacillariophyceae) dominated in February, diatom and cryptomonads (Cryptophyceae) prevailed in May, and dinoflagellates (Dinophyceae) was most abundant in June. Spring bloom in Asan Bay occurred about one month earlier than those observed in temperate seas. Among the inorganic nutrients (N, P and Si), only silicate concentration showed a significant negative correlation with phytoplankton biomass, indicating the sink of this nutrient in the bay to be the uptake by phytoplankton. Nitrate concentration seemed to be a limiting factor in this bay during the study period. Mesozooplankton abundances showed a significant positive correlation with seawater temperatures and a significant negative correlation with phytoplankton biomass. Increase of mesozooplankton abundance followed phytoplankton increase with the time lag of about two months. This increase of zooplankton seemed to be the result of increased seawater temperatures and food.

한국 남해 중앙부에 위치하는 나로도 연안해역은 대규모 적조 형성으로 막대한 수산피해를 발생시키고 있는 Cochlodinium polykrikoides 적조의 매년 첫 발생해역으로 관심이 모아지고 있을 뿐만 아니라(국립수산진흥원, 1998), 주변해역의 수괴 확장정도에 의해 복잡한 해양환경 특성을 나타내는 곳이기도 하다(양 등, 1999). 따라서 본 해역의 해양환경 및 생물분포는 시·공간적으로 매우 다른 특성을 나타낼 것으로 판단되어, 본 연구에서는 이른봄 나로도 인근해역의 해양환경 특성 및 식물플랑크톤 군집의 분포에 영향을 미치는 환경요인에 대하여 고찰한다(윤과 박, 2000).
