해양 생물은 중요한 생물자원으로 인식되고 있다. 특히, 해조류 자원은 식용, 유용 유기물질 추출, 바이오연료 생산, 탄소 흡수 등과 같은 많은 잠재적인 이용 가능성을 갖는다. 한국산 자생생물 조사의 일환으로 Halymenia latifolia P.L. Crouan et H.M. Crouan ex Kutzing, Grateloupia livida (Harvey) Yamada and Hypnea boergesenii Tanaka의 3종이 동해 연안에서 채집되었다. 본 3종에 대한 형태학 및 분류학적 주해가 본 연구에서 제시된다. 이 중에서 Halymenia latifolia는 한국산 미기록 종으로 여기서 처음으로 보고된다.

Accurately identifying species is the basis of all biological studies. There has been much confusion in the identification of Grateloupiacean species, which have finely pinnate gross morphology similar to Grateloupia filicina (the type species of the family). The objective of this study was to comprehensively investigate species identification and distribution of G. filicina-like species in the Northwest Pacific, based on the rbcL sequences. A total of 118 specimens from 78 sites in Korea and Japan were collected from 2001 to 2021 and analyzed for their rbcL sequences. Additional 341 sequences downloaded from the GenBank were included in our comprehensive dataset. Based on these sequences, we documented the nomenclatural history and geographical distribution of the species, and commented on the application of species name. G. asiatica was the most abundant G. filicina-like species in the Northwest Pacific, and its high degree of morphological variation caused many misidentifications. In particular, G. dalianensis, G. serra, and G. variata require reconsideration of their conspecificity with G. asiatica using more specimens from China. By contrast, G. oligoclora was presumed to be a heterotypic synonym of G. subpectinata. The occurrence of G. acuminata, G. ramosissima, and G. livida in Korea resulted from misidentifications with other species.
