An anisogammarid amphipod, Eogammarus possjeticus (Tzvetkova, 1967), is newly recorded from Jindo Island, Korea, with a detailed description and illustrations. The species belonging to the genus Eogammarus are sharing several plesiomorphic characteristics, so they are similar to each other. However, Eogammarus possjeticus can be discriminated from congeners by the following characters combined: appendages are not fossorial, setations of antennae are weak, and the number and position of robust setae on pleonal epimera, urosomes, and telson are different from its congeners. This is the first record of the genus Eogammarus Birstein, 1933 from Korean waters.

Sediment microcosm experiments were conducted for 14 and 28 days using Zn spiked sediment to examine chronic toxicity (mortality) of Diporeia spp. as a function of density and time. Mean cumulative Diporeia mortality in 28 day sediment microcosms was 25% at $1,800\;{\mu}g\;g^{-1}$ total Zn in sediment. Although a certain fraction $(20{\sim}40%)$ of Diporeia was dead, its mortality was attributed by handling stress within 4 days and was not significantly encreased with increasing within the range of Zn concentrations examined in this study. These results suggest that Diporeia can tolerate Zn contaminated sediment and may be useful as a biomonitor for Zn contamination in freshwater environments.

Chronic effects such as reproduction and population dynamics with elevated $CO_2$ concentration were evaluated using two representative marine benthic species, copepod (Tisbe sp.) and amphipod (Monocorophium acherusicum) adopting long-term exposure. Juvenile copepod and amphipod individuals were cultivated in the seawater equilibrated with control air (0.395 mmol $CO_2$/air mol) and high $CO_2$ air having 0.998, to 3.03, 10.3, and 30.1 mmol $CO_2$/air mol during 20 and 46 days, respectively. After the exposure period, the number of benthic invertebrate was counted with separate larval and juvenile stage such as naupliar, copepodid and adult for copepod, or neonate and adult for amphipod, respectively. The individual number of both test species at each life-stage was significantly decreased in seawater with 10.3 mmol $CO_2$/air mol or higher. Recently, the technology of marine $CO_2$ sequestration has been developed for the reduction of $CO_2$ emission, which may cause climate change. However, under various scenarios of $CO_2$ leaks during the injection process or sequestrated $CO_2$ in marine geological structure, the potential risk to organism including various invertebrates can be expected to exposure. So the results of this study suggested that the detailed consideration on the adverse effect with marine ecosystem can be prerequisite for the marine $CO_2$ sequestration projects.

Biological and ecological characteristics of Diporeia spp. are described including size, growth, life cycle, energy storage, temperature effect, bioturbation, feeding depth and sediment ingestion of Diporeia. Bioaccumulation and toxicity of organic contaminants and trace metals were reviewed in addition to an examination of the relationships among various condition indexes (i.e. wet weight, dry weight and body length) of Diporeia.

Gammaropsis utinomii (Nagata, 1961), an incompletely known species of gammaridean amphipod, is redescribed in detail based on the specimens from the southern coast of Korea. The expanded basis of pereopod 7 of this species allows it to be distinguished from its congeners.

해양퇴적물 오염평가에 널리 쓰이는 단각류 Leptocheirus plumulosus를 이용하여 오염된 퇴적물에서 Ag을 축적하는데 있어서 각 매질(퇴적물, 공극수, 먹이)의 상대적 기여도를 조사하였다. 또한 퇴적물 중 중금속의 생물 이용도와 독성을 조절하는 인자로 잘 알려진 황화물(AVS)이 공극수 중 용존 Ag 농도와 생물내 흡수에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 연안 퇴적물을 임의로 4개의 농도구배(0.1${\sim}$3.3 ${\mu}$mol Ag/g)로 오염시킨 후, AVS농도를 40 또는 <0.5 ${\mu}$mol/g로 조절하여 실험생물을 35일 동안 노출시켰다. 실험생물이 배양되는 동안 Ag으로 오염된 것과 오염되지 않은 $TetraMin^{(R)}$을 보조 먹이로 공급하여 생물 체내 Ag축적 농도 차이를 비교하였다. 그 결과, L. plumulosus의 체내 Ag농도는 퇴적물 내 Ag의 농도와 양의 상관관계를 갖고 증가하였다($r^{2}$=0.87, p<0.001). 퇴적물 중 AVS의 함량은 공극수 중 용존 Ag의 농도를 조절하는 중요한 인자로 확인되었으나, AVS 농도는 L. plumulosus의 Ag축적에 거의 영향을 주지 않았다. Ag으로 오염된 먹이가 제공된 L. plumulosus는 오염되지 않은 먹이가 제공된 L. plumulosus보다 최고 1.8배 정도 높게 Ag을 체내에 축적하였다. 즉, Ag으로 오염된 퇴적물에서 L. plumulosus의 Ag축적은 공극수나 해수 중의 용존 Ag의 흡수보다는 퇴적물이나 먹이의 섭식을 통한 흡수가 주요 노출경로라는것을 시사한다.

A newly recorded species of gammaridean amphipod, Synopia (Telsosynopia) trifidilla Hughes and Lowry, 2006 belonging to the family Synopiidae Dana, 1853 was collected from the southern Korean coasts. Synopia (Telsosynopia) trifidilla Hughes and Lowry is characterized by the entire telson with a trifid apical margin. The species is described and fully illustrated in the present study. This is the first record of the family Synopiidae from Korea.

The primitive beachflea, Paciforchestia pyatakovi (Derzhavin, 1937) living in gravel beaches was previously reported only from Japan and Russia. This species can be easily distinguished from another species in the same genus, P. klawei (Bousfield, 1961), by the degradation of all plepods and both rami that each consist of single article bearing 2-4 distal plumose setae. Descriptions of the diagnostic characteristics of the species are presented.

This study on the five families (Anamixidae, Colomastigidae, Eophliantidae, Eusiridae, and Hyalidae) of fammaridean amphipods of Ulreung Island was based on the materials collected at eight localities in Ulreung Island. Nine speices of seven genera were identified. Of these, three (Paranamixis denticulus, Colomastix prionotos, and Hyale bisaeta) were new to science. Three species (Ceinina japonica, Eusiroides monoculoides japonicus, and Allorchestes angusta) were new recordsfor Korean waters. These six species were descirbed with illustrations.
