The benthic algal community structures of the seaweed biomass, vertical distribution of dominant seaweeds, and species composition were examined on the rocky shores of Ongdo, Jusamdo, and Woejodo Islands, Korea, in August 2006. A total of 68 seaweeds were identified, comprising 5 green, 11 brown, and 52 red algae from the three study sites. The number of species at Ongdo (32 species) was less than that at Jusamdo (45 species) and Woejodo (44 species). Jusamdo exhibited the maximum seaweed biomass (73.99 g dry $wt/m^2$), while the minimum value was found at Woejodo (36.90 g dry $wt/m^2$). On the three islands, coarsely branched forms were the most dominant functional group in terms of species number and biomass among benthic algal species. The dominant species were Gelidium amansii, Chondrus ocellatus, and Chrysymenia wrightii at Ongdo, Sargasum thunbergii, Ulva pertusa, and Sargassum fusiformis at Jusamdo, and U. pertusa, Undaria pinnatifida, and Corallina pilulifera at Woejodo. Perennial seaweeds were abundant at Ongdo (G. amansii and C. ocellatus) and Jusamdo (S. thunbergii and S. fusiformis), whereas the sheet form of U. pertusa was relatively abundant at Woejodo Island.

Fifty seven species of common seaweed from the coast of Korea were screened for antifungal activity against Malassezia species. Seaweeds as a source of bioactive compounds are able to produce a great variety of secondary metabolites with different activities. There are numerous reports on the biological activities of seaweeds against human pathogens, fungi, and yeasts, but only few contain data regarding inhibitory effects against Malassezia sp., a major cause of dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. To help address this paucity of information, this work was carried out to examine the antifungal effects of seaweed extracts against M. furfur and M. restricta. Of the fifty seven species of marine algae screened for their potential antifungal activity, only 17 species (29.8%) exhibited inhibitory activity. In agar disc diffusion method, the ether extracts of Corallina pilulifera, Enteromorpha linza, Laminaria japonica, Symphyocladia latiuscula and Ulva sp. showed strong antifungal activity. To identify major constituents in seaweed extracts, four selected extracts were analyzed on' a GC-MS equipped with a flame ionization detector, and compared to spectral data from databases WILEY229.LIB and NIST107.LIB. Most constituents in seaweed extracts are fatty acid-related compounds. When we evaluated any acute toxicity, the ether extracts of the selected four species were not toxic in mice. According to these results, it can be suggested that these seaweed extracts are valuable for the development of therapeutic agents in treating dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. Further investigations to determine its bioactive compound(s) are currently in progress.

Marine algal flora and community structure were seasonally examined at Jungjado, on the southern coast of Korea, from July 2007 to May 2008. A total of 112 seaweeds, including 15 green, 24 brown, and 73 red algae, were identified and 33 species were found throughout the year. The average seaweed biomass was 145.78 g dry weight $m^{-2}$, and the biomass was maximal in winter (184.74 g) and minimal in autumn (106.17 g). The dominant and subdominant species in terms of biomass were Sargassum thunbergii and Grateloupia elliptica in summer, S. thunbergii and Corallina pilulifera in autumn, S. thunbergii and Chondracanthus intermedius in winter, and Sargassum fusiforme and G. elliptica in spring. The vertical distribution patterns of seaweeds from the upper to lower intertidal zones at Jungjado were S. thunbergii - Ulva conglobata - Gelidium elegans in summer; Caulacantus ustulatus - Chondria crassicaulis - C. pilulifera in autumn; Ulva australis - S. thunbergii - G. elliptica in winter; and Gloiopeltis tenax - S. fusiforme - G. elliptica in spring. Seasonally the evenness, richness, and diversity indices tended to have their highest values during the winter and their lowest values in the summer. However, the dominant index was recorded as lowest in winter and highest in the summer. The C/P, R/P, and (R+C)/P values reflecting the flora characteristics were 0.58, 3.04, and 3.62, respectively.

Community structure and biodiversity of benthic marine algae were studied in the rocky shore of Phohang New Port, Yeoungil Bay. A total of 79 species of marine algae including 8 Chlorophyta, 23 Phaeophyta and 48 Rhodophyta are listed. The dominant algal species were Corallina pilulifera in all seasons, and Sargassum homeri in winter. Lomentaria catenata, Lomentaria hakodatensis, Grateloupia laceolata, Sargassum thunbergii, Chondria crassicaulis, Ulva pertusa, and Hypnea charoides were subdominant at different seasons. The algal biomass per unit area of the benthic algal community in Pohang New Port under construction was 14506 - 398.93 g dry wt m-2, which means that its annually averaged value is 273.45 g dry wt m-2 . The seasonal change in algal biomass showed highs in winter and spring, and lows in summer and autumn. The algal species diversity (H') based on algal biomass was 2.07 annually in average, with 2.42 in winter, 2.65 in spring, 1.79 in summer and 1.43 in autumn. It was high in winter and spring seasons and low in summer and autumn seasons. It is caused by that spring and winter are the profitable growth time for algae and species components in this study were dominated by the annual or seasonal rather than perennial plants.

Beakryoung-do is located in the north along the western coast of South Korea. Owing to its geographical limitations, not many studies have been conducted on marine algae in this region. This study aims to investigate the marine algal flora and the community structure in the intertidal and subtidal zones of Nampo-ri, Beakryoung-myeon, Ongin-gun, Incheon regions of South Korea. The study was conducted from August 2015 to June 2016 during all seasons. A total of 95 algal species, including 7 green algae, 12 brown algae, and 76 red algae were collected and identified; 52 algal species were found in the intertidal zone and 83 in the subtidal zone. The vertical distribution of algae from upper to lower intertidal zone was Neorhodomela aculeata - Caulacanthus okamurae, Gelidiophycus freshwateri - Neorhodomela aculeata, Caulacanthus okamurae - Sargassum thunbergii, Caulacanthus okamurae. Findings indicated that Sargassum thunbergii and Neorhodomela aculeata were the biomass-dominant species in the intertidal zone and Corallina officinalis and Undaria pinnatifida were biomass-dominant in the subtidal zone. Average values of marine algae biomass in the intertidal and subtidal zones were 252.6 g wet weight m^-2 and 291.9 g wet weight m^-2, respectively. Further, 38 new species were found in Beakryoung-do, with 25 of them specifically found in the subtidal zone. More studies on marine algal flora in the subtidal zone are needed to understand the changes in marine flora along the western coast.

본 연구는 부산시 기장군 연안의 춘계 해조 군집 특성을 파악하고자 수행하였다. 연구는 2017년 5월부터 6월까지 스쿠버 다이빙(scuba diving)을 이용하여 정량 및 정성 조사를 실시하였다. 연구 결과 녹조류 13종(10.7 %), 갈조류 18종(14.9 %), 홍조류 90종(74.4 %) 등 총 121종의 해조류가 출현하였고, 조간대에서 총 56종, 조하대에서 총 110종으로 조하대 출현종이 2배가량 많았으며, 해역별로는 문동 88종, 공수 76종, 대변 75종 순으로 높았다. 연구 해역의 평균 생물량은 1,501.5 g·m^-2로 확인되었으며, 조간대 1,133.5 g·m^-2, 조하대 1,869.4 g·m^-2로 조하대가 더 높았고, 해역별로는 문동 2,234.0 g·m^-2, 공수 1,228.1 g·m^-2, 대변 1,044.4 g·m^-2 순으로 높았다. 높은 생물량을 나타낸 종은 조간대에서 Ulva australis, Sargassum thunbergii, Corallina pilulifera, 조하대에서 Sargassum macrocarpum, Undaria pinnatifida, Phycodrys fimbriata로 확인되었다. 해조류 기능형군별 피도 비율에 따라 군집 상태를 분석한 결과 연구 해역 전체는 'Low', 집단별로는 'Low' ~ 'Moderate' 상태를 나타내었고, 이는 기회종(opportunistic species)이 기장 해역 전체에 걸쳐 폭넓게 분포하고 있는 것을 나타내기 때문에 교란이나 환경오염 등의 문제가 고려된다. 특히 기장 해역은 해조류 양식이 주를 이루고 있어 양식장 조성과 국가어항개발 및 연안 정비 등의 연안개발로 인한 인위적인 영향이 해조 군집에 지속적인 영향을 미칠 것으로 생각되며, 해역 전반에 걸친 해조 군집의 장기 모니터링과 우수한 해조 군집에 대한 관리 방안이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Seasonal and vertical variations of seaweed biomass were examined at Woejodo and Jusamdo of western sea, Korea from July 2006 to April 2007. Annual seaweed biomass was 198.27 g m$^{-2}$ in wet weight at Woejodo and 417.34 g m$^{-2}$ at Jusamdo, respectively and biomass of intertidal zone was greater than that of subtidal zone at Jusamdo sites. Seaweeds distributed vertically from mid intertidal to 5 m of subtidal zone at Woejodo and from high intertidal to 10m of subtidal zone at Jusamdo. Seaweed biomass and species number were maximal at lower intertidal zone (27 species, 365.43 g m$^{-2}$) of Woejodo and at mid intertidal zone (26 species, 684.18 g m$^{-2}$) of Jusamdo. Seasonal biomass varied from 136.73g m$^{-2}$ in autumn to 249.33 g m$^{-2}$ in winter at Woejodo and from 353.37 g m$^{-2}$ in autumn to 482.07 g m$^{-2}$ in summer at Jusamdo. Dominant species was Sargassum thunbergii showing highest annual biomass (Woejodo, 94.68 g m$^{-2}$ Jusamdo, 228.59 g m$^{-2}$) among all seaweeds and finding at various shore levels during the study period. Subdominant species were Corallina pilulifera and Gracilaria textorii at Woejodo, and were Sargassum fusiformis and Chondria crassicaulis at Jusamdo. Thus, we can conclude that Jusamdo shore is better place than Woejodo based on seaweed biomass and vertical distribution, and S. thunbergii is the representative species of the two islands.
