Feeding habits of Sillago japonica collected from in an eelgrass (Zostera marina) bed in Jindong Bay, Korea were studied. S. japonica was a carnivore which consumed mainly gammarid amphipods, polychaetes, bivalves, caridean shrimps and crabs. Its diets also included a small amount of fishes, copepods and caprellid amphipods. The diet of S. japonica underwent significant size-related changes; small individuals (<5cm SL) fed mainly on gammarid amphipods and crab larvae, while proportion of polychaetes and bivalves increased with increasing fish size and gammarid amphipods were also important prey for medium size individuals (5.1-9.9cm SL). The large individuals (>10cm SL) ate polychaetes, caridean shrimps and crabs. The dietary breadth of S. japonica were varied with size. The diet of S. japonica also underwent seasonal changes that could be related to differences in prey availability; gammarid amphipods were mainly consumed in spring and polychaetes in summer.

Feeding habits of Limanda yokohamae collected from the eelgrass bed in Kwangyang Bay were studied. L. yokohamae (1-16 cm SL) was a carnivore which consumed mainly polychaetes. Its diets included a significant quantity of amphipods (gammarids and caprellids) as well as small quantities of gastropods and ophiuroids. L. yokohamae showed ontogenetic changes in feeding habits. Small individuals less than 4 cm SL preyed mainly on amphipods. However, polychaetes were heavily selected with increasing fish size while the portion of the diet attributable to amphipods decreased sharply. Polychaetes were the major prey organisms for all seasons. Dietary breadth of each size class shows relatively low value, and this means that L. yokohamae depends on only few kinds of food organisms.

Feeding habits of Acentrogobius pellidebilis collected from in an eelgrass(Zostera marina) bed from January to December 2006 were studied. A. pellidebilis ranged form 1.6 to 6.9 cm in standard length were determined. A. pellidebilis was a carnivore which consumed mainly copepods, polychaetes, and amphipods. Its diets included small quantities of isopods, seaweeds, nematods, and gastropods. It showed ontogenetic changes in feeding habits. Smaller individuals (<2.0cm SL) fed mainly on copepods. While the consumption of copepods decreased with increasing fish size, the consumption of polychaetes and amphipods were increased. Dietary breadth index was varied with fish size.

2005년 1월부터 2005년 12월까지 동대만의 잘피밭에서 채집된 산호해마(4.1~10.4 cm SL)의 식성을 조사하였다. 산호해마의 주요 먹이는 옆새우류였으며, 그 외, 카프렐라류, 주걱벌레붙이류, 요각류, 곤쟁이류 및 잘피 등을 소량 섭식하였다. 산호해마는 모든 체장에서 옆새우류를 주로 섭식하였으며, 작은 크기(<4.5 cm SL)에서는 요각류도 섭식하였다. 또한 성장함에 따라 섭식하는 먹이생물의 크기는 증가하였으나, dietary breadth는 서서히 감소하는 양상이었다.

Monthly variation in species composition of fishes in the eelgrass bed of Jangpyeong in Tongyeong, Korea was determined using monthly samples from a seine net from May 2016 to April 2017. A total of 32 species, 2,042 individuals and 3,991.1 g of fishes were collected during the study period. The dominant species were Takifugu niphobles, Rudarius ercodes, Gymnogobius heptacanthus, Zoarchias glaber, Pholis nebulosi and Leucopsarion petersii. These species accounted for 79.5% of the total number of individuals. The fish assemblages in the eelgrass bed showed clear seasonal changes: the number of fish species increased in March and was highest in October, while the number of individuals increased in December and was highest in July.

The effects of salinity on various ecophysiological parameters of Ulva pertusa such as growth, nutrient uptake, photosynthetic performance and internal nutrient composition were tested. U. pertusa was collected from an eelgrass bed in a semi-protected embayment on the southwest coast of Korea. Under salinity regimes from 5 to 40 psu, the specific growth rates $(\mu)$ of U. pertusa ranged from 0.019 to $0.032\;d^{-1}$. Maximum growth rate was observed at 20 psu, and minimum at 40 psu. This species showed various uptake rates for nitrate and phosphate. Nutrient uptake was noticeably higher at intermediate salinity levels, and lower at both extremes. Salinity significantly influenced chlorophyll-$\alpha$ content and effective quantum yield. Tissue nitrogen content ranged from 1.5 to 2.9% N (dry weight), whereas tissue phosphorus ranged from 0.1 to 0.14% P (dry weight). The N : P ratio in the tissue of U. pertusa was considerably higher, ranging from 30 to 50. Increased growth at lower salinity suggests that the initial growth rate of U. pertusa is greater during the rainy season (i.e., late spring and early summer) than any other season during the year. The appearance of an Ulva bloom in eelgrass beds may be triggered by salinity more than by other environmental factors such as light and temperature.

Eelgrass beds are very productive and provide nursery functions for a variety of fish and shellfish species. Management for the conservation of eelgrass beds along the Korean coasts is critical, and requires comprehensive strategies such as vegetation mapping. We suggest a mapping method to spatial distribution and quantify of eelgrass beds using a digital echosounder. Echosounding data were collected from the northeast part of Kwangyang Bay, on the south of Korea, in March, 2007. A transducer was attached to a boat equipped with a DGPS. The boat completed a transect survey scanning whole eelgrass beds of 11.7 km2 with a speed of 1.5-2 m s-1 (3-4 knot). The acoustic reflectivity of eelgrass allowed for detection and explicit measurements of canopy cover and height. The results showed that eelgrass bed was distributed in depth from 1.19 to 3.6 m (below MSL) and total dry weight biomass of 4.1 ton with a vegetation area of 4.05 km2. This technique was found to be an effective way to undertake the patch size and biomass of eelgrass over large areas as nondestructive sampling.

진동만 잘피밭에 서식하는 그물코쥐치의 먹이습성의 일별변화를 조사하였다. 출현한 그물코쥐치는 1.6~4.3 cm SL의 범위였으며, 주요 먹이생물은 단각류에 속하는 옆새우류, 잘피, 갯지렁이류, 그리고 미삭동물이었다. 그물코쥐치의 먹이습성의 일별변화는 뚜렷하였다. 낮에는 잘피와 옆새우류를 주로 먹은 잡식성을, 밤에는 옆새우류, 갯지렁이류, 그리고 미삭동물을 주로 먹는 육식성을 나타내었다. 이와 같은 결과는 낮보다는 밤에 이들 먹이생물의 활동이 활발하여 그물코쥐치가 섭이하기가 용이하였던 것으로 판단된다. 또한 그물코쥐치의 섭이활동은 저조보다는 고조에 활발하였다.

진동만 명주리 잘피밭에 서식하는 어류의 종조성 및 계절변동을 조사하기 위해서 2001년 8월 부터 2003년 7월까지 소형 비임트롤을 이용하여 어류를 매월 채집하였다. 조사기간 동안 어류는 총 33종이 채집되었다. 쥐노래미, 흰베도라치, 실양태, 가시망둑, 베도라치, 그물코쥐치, 실고기, 그리고 조피볼락이 많이 채집되었는데, 이들은 채집된 총 개체수의 79.5%를 차지하였다. 본 조사해역에서 채집된 어류는 대부분이 평균 15 cm 이하의 소형 어종이거나 대형 어종의 유어들로 구성되어 있었다. 잘피밭 어류군집은 뚜렷한 계절변동을 보였는데, 채집 개체수는 2002년 4월에서 6월 사이에 아주 높았으나, 생체량은 2001년과 2002년 9월에 각각 가장 높은 수치를 나타내었다. 대체적으로 겨울철에서는 채집 개체수 및 생체량이 모두 낮았다. 어류 군집의 계절변동은 잘피의현존량 및 먹이생물의 양적변동과 관계가 있었다.
