  • 선박의 이동으로 유입된 유해해양생물은 해양생태계교란을 유발하고 있으며 주로 선박평형수와 선체부착생물의 형태로 유입되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 선박평형수의 이동으로 인한 유해해양생물은 모든 선박에 의무적으로 처리설비를 선박에 설치하도록 강제화되었기 때문에 상당히 감소되었다. 그러나 선체부착생물의 경우 현재 IMO 가이드라인을 통해 각국에 관리를 권고하는 수준이기 때문에 비 강제화로 여전히 이동 위험이 존재한다. 특히 선체부착생물은 해양생태계 교란 문제도 있지만 에너지효율 저감에도 영향을 미치기 때문에 IMO 온실가스 감축목표 달성위한 하나의 방안으로 최근 주목받고 있다. 선체부착생물에 대한 관리의 필요성에 대해 국제적 공감대가 증가되고 있기 때문에 강제화 규제로 이어질 가능성이 높다. 따라서 본 연구는 선체부착생물 규제를 이미 시행하고 있는 국가의 사례를 중심으로 우리나라의 선체 부착생물의 관리 방안을 제시하였다.

  • Light is a major external environmental factor that influences the circadian rhythm of photosynthetic organisms and various physiological phenomena, such as growth, maturation, and behavior. The number of light-reaching organisms changes depending on the season and atmospheric conditions, and the intensity and wavelength of light differ depending on the organisms inhabiting the environment. Altered light changes the circadian rhythm of fish, which is controlled by clock genes, such as period 2 (Per2), cryptochrome 1 (Cry1), and melatonin. In this study, we set the zeitgeber time (ZT; 14 light-10 dark, LD) based on the actual sunrise and sunset times and examined Per2 and Cry1 activities, levels of aralkylamine N-acetyltransferase (AANAT), and melatonin in Pholis nebulosa, a drifting seaweed species exposed to irregular light. Per2 and Cry1 levels increased during the daytime and decreased after sunset. The AANAT levels decreased during the daytime and increased during the night. Melatonin concentration was highest around midnight (ZT21, 23:30), but exhibited similar concentrations during the daytime. While the activity of Per2, Cry1, and AANAT levels exhibited a typical circadian rhythm observed in most vertebrates, melatonin concentrations did not show a significant difference between the daytime and nighttime. These findings provide insights into the circadian rhythm patterns of organisms exposed to irregular light environments, such as P. nebulosa, which differ from those of typical fish species.

  • Global climate change will alter many such properties of the Southern Ocean as temperature, circulation, stratification, and sea-ice extent. Such changes are likely to influence the species composition and activity of Antarctic marine microorganisms (protists and bacteria) which playa major role in deter-mining the concentration of atmospheric $CO_2$ and producing precursors of cloud condensation nuclei. Direct impacts of climate change on Antarctic marine microorganisms have been determined for very few species. Increasing water temperature would be expected to result in a southward spread of pelagic cyanobacteria, coccolithophorids and others. Growth rates of many species would be expected to increase slightly but nutrient limitation, especially micronutrients, is likely to result in a negligible increase in biomass. The extent of habitats would be reduced for those organisms presently living close to the upper limit of their thermal tolerance. Increased UVB irradiance is likely to favour the growth of those organisms tolerant of UVB and may change the trophic structure of marine communities. Indirect effects, especially those as a consequence of a diminution of the amount of sea-ice and increased upper ocean stratification, are predicted to lead to a change in species composition and impacts on both trophodynamics and vertical carbon flux.

  • $CO_2$를 해양에 격리 처리하기 위해서는 $CO_2$가 해양생태계에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가에 대한 연구가 선행되어야 한다. 이 연구에서는 $CO_2$의 해양생물영향실험에 있어 연체동물의 이용가능성을 모색하기 위한 연구로, 먼저 문어에 적합한 마취농도를 확립하고, 혈액을 채취하기 위한 케뉴레이션 방법 및 문어가 케뉴라를 탈착시키는 것을 방지하기 위한 구속 방법에 대해서 검토하였다. 그 결과 1) 문어에 적합한 마취제는 5.25% $MgCl_2\;6H_2O$인 것으로 나타났다. 2) 문어로부터 혈액채취를 위한 케뉴라 삽입 부위는 배대동맥이 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 3) 케뉴라 보호를 위하여 플라스틱 넷트로 만든 구속 쳄버를 이용하는 것이 유용한 것으로 나타났다

  • Marine resources have various biological activities and their constituents are more novel than those of land organisms. Several biologically active constituents have been found in marine organisms. Recently, many studies have reported that marine animals (MAs) can be used as functional ingredients in functional foods or nutraceutical due to their health benefits. However, no studies have extensively investigated the cosmeceutical activities of MAs extracts. Here, 70% ethanol extracts of 38 MAs were investigated for their activities of whitening and anti-aging properties for use as materials in novel cosmeceuticals. Anti-aging activities were determined by skin aging-related enzyme activities (anti-collagenase, anti-elastase, anti-hyaluronidase) and whitening activities (anti-tyrosinase, anti-3,4-dihydroxyl-L-phenylalanine [DOPA] oxidation) evaluated by colorimetric method. Among the 38 MAs, we found that Urechis unicinctus and Petrosia corticata extracts showed the strongest inhibitory effects against tyrosinase and DOPA oxidation, respectively. Our results additionally showed that Protankyra bidentata extract might provide a major source of anti-hyaluronidase and anti-elastase; meanwhile, anti-collagenase effects were similar in most MAs. Overall, these results suggest that extracts of marine animals have potential as a tyrosinase, collagenase, elastase, and hyaluronidase inhibitors. Taken together, MA resources could be considered as a novel cosmeceutical agent to be applied in cosmetic industry.

  • 현대의 일러스트레이션 디자인은 독창성을 필요로 하는데, 해양생물의 형태와 색채는 일러스트레이션 창작에 풍부한 소재를 제공한다. 일러스트레이션은 디자인적 창조 가치가 매우 높다. 본 연구는 해양생물을 거울삼아 색채학적 지식과 시각적 형태설계를 통해 이를 밝히고, 일러스트레이션 디자인과 해양생물을 주요 연구대상으로 하였다. 본 연구목적은 ① 해양생물의 전형적 특징을 색과 형태 중심으로 정리, ② 이를 해양생물을 대표하는 그래픽 기호로 도출하여, ③ 일러스트레이션으로 접목할 수 있음을 해양생물 일러스트레이션 제작으로 사례를 제시하였다. 연구를 통해서 결론을 도출하고, 해양생물과 육지생물을 구분하는 전형적인 특징 중 하나로 곡선적인 특징을 부각시켰다. 열대어 색채 현상에 대한 분류 연구와 비교분석을 통해 도출한 열대어류의 색채 특성을 바탕으로 해수 열대어의 색채를 추출 및 가공하여 일러스트레이션 디자인에 활용할 수 있다.

  • Global warming has affected the distribution of organisms for decades and has displayed rapid ascent recently. Research into the effects on tropical organisms are vital. Padina boryana is a resourceful marine microalgae in the Maldives Sea in the Laccadive region. A 70% ethanol extraction (PBE) of this seaweed was used to investigate its antioxidant potential. Both in vitro and in vivo models were implemented. PBE exhibited protective potential against H2O2 induced apoptosis. ROS levels were suppressed due to PBE. PBE expressed a cytoprotective nature. In vivo experiments involving the zebra fish model conformed its validity. The antioxidant efficacy of PBE was dose dependent. Study outcomes suggest PBE has potential as a novel and valuable marine resource to aid the functional food and cosmeceutical industries.
