  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
