남해의 서쪽 끝에 위치한 만재도의 조하대로부터 1988년 8월 23일에 채집된 태형동물을 분류한 결과 고운입이끼벌레 (Parasmittina delicatula)가 한국미 기록종으로 밝혀졌다. 만재도에서 보고된 12종 중 10종은 오직 태평양에서만 밝혀진 종들로서 4종은 열대종, 3종은 한류의 영향을 받는 곳에서도 보고되는 종이고 4종은 한국과 일본에서만 밝혀진 고유종이다. 만재도는 대마난류와 서해연안냉수의 영향을 모두 받는 동물지리학적으로 독특하며 중요한 지점으로 여겨진다.

Two species belonging to the genus Gregarinidra Barroso, 1949 (Bryozoa: Gymnolaemata: Flustridae) were first found in this study from Korean waters. Gregarinidra furcula n. sp. is new to science, and G. incrustans (Silén, 1941) is newly added to the Korean fauna. Species belonging to this genus are primarily distinguished by two characteristics: interzooidal avicularia and marginal spines. The pitchforked spines clearly distinguish G. furcula n. sp. from the other Gregarinidra species, and G. incrustans shows the difference by having blunt spines and short-triangular avicularia. Gregarinidra incrustans was known to be distributed only in Japan until this species was reported from the South Sea, Korea, in the present study. This study provides descriptions of two species with detailed illustrations by scanning electron microscopy, distributional data, and a taxonomic key to the Korean Gregarinidra species. With the addition of two species reported herein, four Korean Gregarinidra are recorded: G. corbula Seo, 1996, G. furcula new species, G. incrustans(Silén, 1941), and G. serrata (MacGillivray, 1869). Finally, Gregarinidra totals 10 species worldwide.

A taxonomic study of the family Electridae Stach, 1937 (Bryozoa: Cheilostomatida) was carried out using materials collected from six localities of Korea from 1984 to 2021. Aspidelectra melolontha (Landsborough, 1852) is newly added to the bryozoan fauna of Korea, and Electra jindoica n. sp. is new to science. European A. melolontha is known to occur in brackish water of low salinity, but the species is found in New Zealand and Argentina seawater. This species is also reported as a fouling bryozoan from China and New Zealand. Electra jindoica n. sp. is distinguished by smaller zooid, larger kenozooid, and developed cryptocyst from E. asiatica Grischenko, Dick and Mawatari, 2007. With the addition of two species reported herein, six species and four genera of Electridae from Korea have been recorded: Aspidelectra melolontha, Arbopercula tenella, Conopeum hexagonum, C. reticulum, C. seurati, and Electra jindoica n. sp. Furthermore, the genera Aspidelectra and Electra are new to the Korean bryozoan fauna based on this study.

In the family Crisiidae (Bryozoa: Cyclostomata), 90 species have been recognized worldwide in seven genera: Bicrisia d'Orbigny, 1853, Crisia Lamouroux, 1812, Crisidia Milne Edwards, 1838, Crisiella Borg, 1924, Crisiona Canu & Bassler, 1928, Filicrisia d'Orbigny, 1853 and Unicrisia d'Orbigny, 1853. Four species in Crisiidae are described from 11 localities from 2008 to 2014, resulting in two new distributional records and two new species in Korea. The new additions to the fauna are: Crisia cuneata Maplestone, 1905, C. elongata Milne Edwards, 1838, C. jejuensis n. sp. and Filicrisia cygnus n. sp. A total of seven Korean crisiids with the addition of four species reported herein are recorded and distributed in three genera: Bicrisia, Crisia and Filicrisia. Accordingly, the Korean cyclostomatous bryozoans come to be 12 species, in eight genera, and five families. All of Korean Crisia eburneodenticulata specimens needed to be reexamined, thus this species is tentatively deleted from the Korean bryozoan fauna.

Habitat-forming species increase spatial complexity and alter local environmental conditions, often facilitating the assembly of plants and animals. We conducted a trait-based approach to algal assemblages associated with the freshwater bryozoan, Pectinatella magnifica. Association with algae leads to the inner bodies of the bryozoans being colored green; this is frequently observed in the large rivers of South Korea. We collected the green-colored gelatinous matrices and phytoplankton from waterbodies of the two main rivers in South Korea. Algal assemblages within the colonies and in the waterbodies were compared using the three diversity indices (richness, diversity, and dominance), and the composition of functional groups (FGs) and morphologically based functional groups (MBFGs) between the colonies within and outside of P. magnifica colonies. The most dominant and common species within the colonies were Oscillatoria kawamurae and Pseudanabaena catenata, both of which were assigned to the same FG (codon S1). Of the algal assemblages within the colonies, the dominance was higher, while the richness and diversity were lower, than those in the waterbodies. There was variation in the compositions of FGs and MBFGs in the waterbodies outside the colonies. Total nitrogen and orthophosphate led to dominance, and were significant factors for the variation in FGs in the waterbodies, whereas there were no such significant factors within the colonies. This trait-based approach to the community structure of associated algae provides the status and habitat gradient of these communities, which are stable, isolated, and consistent with the overgrowth of shade-adapted tychoplanktonic cyanobacteria.

The specimens collected from five localities during the period from 2004 to 2022 were observed. As a result of this study, Jellyella eburnea was found to be new to the Korean fauna and three membraniporids were reviewed. Two species, Jellyella eburnea and Biflustra grandicella, were redescribed and illustrated with the collected specimens in this study. Membranipora perfragilis from Korea is changed into Biflustra grandicella. Jellyella eburnea is new to the Korean fauna and first reported outside subtropical and tropical seas of the South Pacific and Indo-Pacific Ocean. This fact proves that the seas in Korea are warming. Additionally, Biflustra crenulata reported from the West Sea, South Sea and Jejudo waters of Korea is synonymized into Biflustra okadai. Membranipora irregulata is transferred into the genus Biflustra. Five of Korean membraniporids, Biflustra grandicella, Biflustra irregulata, Biflustra okadai, Jellyella eburnea, and Jellyella tuberculata, are reported in the Korean fauna as a result of this study. The photos taken in the field and by Scanning Electron Microscopy of two species, Biflustra grandicella and Jellyella eburnea, are provided herein.

For an efficient management and utilization of marine biodiversity information, we made an attempt to develop the Korea Marine Biodiversity Information System (KoMBIS), building a species name inventory of Korea marine organisms. The inventory includes 17 organism groups: phytoplankton, zooplankton, algae and halophyte, sponges, cnidarians, rotifers, nematodes, bryozoans, brachiopods, molluscs, echiurans, annelids, arthropods, echinoderms, urochordates and fish. The species names were collected from 37 different references and reviewed for validity by taxonomists, which resulted in 9,798 valid names in addition to 1,845 synonyms. The Korea marine species inventory is the first one of this kind, for previous Korean species name inventories were mostly composed of terrestrial and freshwater organisms. KoMBIS, the information system developed, contains not only the species name but also information on morphological and ecological characteristics such as distribution, DNA barcode, and references. This system is convenient for the inputting of new data and servicing users through the internet, so that management and utilization of the biodiversity information is more efficient. Linking the DNA barcode data with species information provides an objective measure for identification of a species, which accommodates the recommendation of Consortium for the Barcode of Life, and makes the Korea marine biodiversity information compatible with international databases. Considering the frequent exchange of marine organisms internationally via ballast water and such issues as climate change, this information system will be useful in many areas of marine biodiversity.

제주도의 8개지점(함덕, 온평, 위미, 법환, 화순, 대포, 한림, 외도)에서 해조장형성과 조식성의 대표적이 동물인 성게류(보라성게,Anthocidaris crassispina와 말똥성게 Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus)의 섭이형태에 대하여 연구하였다. 각 조사지점의 해조류 생체량이 조사되었으며, 성게류의 장내용물과 생물학적 측정치에 관련된 해조류 군락의 양적분포와 우점도가 조사되었다. 결론적으로 대포지점의 조사지점이 해조상으로는 가장 우세함에도 불구하고 성게의 생물학적인 특성인 체고, 체장, 체중 그리고 생식소 지수와의 관련이 없었다. 이는 성게류들이 조류의 풍도에만 의존하는 곳이 아니고 다른 먹이물질을 섭이함을 뜻한다. 성게의 음식물 선호도를 위해 섭이된 장내용물을 조사한 결과 부착성 조류와 유조(drifted algae) 및 다양한 동물들 (해면, 태충류, 갑각류 및 미확인된 캡슐에 싸인 알 등)과 펄이나 모래와 같은 저질들이 먹이물질로 조사되었다. 섭이된 음식물의 상대적인 양으로 볼 때, 해조류의 섭식률은 낮은 것으로 밝혀졌으며, 이로서 성게가 조장형성이나 갯녹음 현상을 일으키는 해조류의 우요 섭식자가 아닐 것으로 추정할 수 있다.

해양생물에는 육상생물자원에서는 존재하지 않는 다양한 화합물이 많이 존재하는데 이들 화합물은 새로운 치료제 및 대체 치료법을 개발하는데 유용하게 이용될 수 있다. 현재 해조류의 다양한 생리활성에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있으며 최근에는 여러 병원성 및 인체 감염균에 대한 항균효과를 나타내어 신약개발의 보고로 다양한 연구가 진행이 되고있다. 즉, 해조류는 천연물신약 또는 새로운 치료제 개발에 중요한 생물자원이다.
