Microalgae can attach to the surface of ships and then spread to various areas by means of ship transport. The introduction of invasive species through ships is recognized as a marine problem worldwide. Identification of attached microalgae is necessary to investigate such movement between countries through ships. In the present study, through analytical methods we reviewed research data to identify the taxa of domestic attached microalgae and assess the ecological impacts of such microalgae. A total of 87 genera and 153 species (143 species of diatoms, 10 species of cyanobacteria, and 4 genera of dinoflagellates) were identified as native attached microalgae in Korea, and diatoms accounted for 93% of the total. Most of these attached microalgae were identified through research on natural substrates such as seaweeds and bedrock, and some were also identified through experiments using artificial adherent plates. To date, there is no information on microalgae attached to international ships and introduced into Korea. Molecular genetic analysis and systematic management through on-site sampling of international ships, microscopic analysis, and meta-barcoding are necessary to assess the inflow and spread path of hull-attached marine alien species and evaluate the risk they pose to the domestic ecosystem.

한국 서해 동진강-만경강 하구역과 인접 연안역에 발달한 조간대의 퇴적환경과 생 층서에 대하여 연구지역에서 채취한 5개의 진동시추코아 퇴적환경과 생층서에 대하여 연구지역에서 채취한 5개의 진동시추코아 퇴적물의 퇴적상과 규조군집분석을 통해 연 구하였다. 시추공 퇴적물은 주로 니질 및 사질로 조성되어 있으며 생혼퇴적 구조와 교 호엽총리, 후라저총리, 연흔사총리등의 퇴적구조들이 여러 층들에서 관찰된다. 전체 적으로 니질퇴적층이 사질퇴적층보다 우세하며 사질층을 제외한 대부분의 지질퇴적층 에는 다수의 규조각들이 함유되어 있다. 총 61속 219종 및 변종의 규조가 동정되었으 며 산출되는 규조중 가장 다산되는 종은 Paralia sulcata 이다. 그외 Cyclotella striata Thalassionema nitzschioides Actinoptychus undulatus, Delphineis surirella, Rhaphoneis amphiceros 등이 다산된다. 산출되는 대부분의 규조는 기수 및 해수역의 연안 혹은 천해에서 서식하는 저서성 및 우연적 혹은 부분적 부유성종이다. 담수종은 1∼5%정도로 남양만 조간대에 대해 높은 산출을 보인다. 규조류의 알려진 생 태와 여러 충준에서 관찰되는 교호엽총리, 후라저총리, 연혼사총리등의 퇴적구조는 본 연구 퇴적층이 하천수의 유입을 어느 정도 받고 한수 보다는 난수의 영향을 더 강하게 받는 조간대 환경하에서 퇴적된 것으로 추정된다. 그리고 생태적 측면에서 규조군집의 수직적 변화가 인지되지 않는 것으로 보아 퇴적기간 동안 퇴적환경의 뚜렷한 변화는 없었던 것으로 생각된다. Q-mode을 이용한 규조군집 부산광역시 결과 각 시추공 별로 각각 2개의 군집으로 분류되었으며 이들 군집으로 분류되었으며 이들 군집들의 충위적 분포를 근거하여 시추공간의 생충서적 대비를 시도해 보았다.

A study on field bioassay test using four species of commercially important shellfish was carried out to assess the effect of pollutants and determine the extent of marine environmental pollution of the Masan Bay from 9 to 15 August 1978. Water quality analysis and planktological examination of sea water were made during the experiment and the examination gave the following results. The water temperature was so high at 31.7$^{\circ}C$ in maximum and rather subject to change on weather condition of the land than on the effect of the water mass from outer bay. The range of DO,COD and SS at the stations were 0.3-7.08cc/l, 0.07-3.31ppm and 5.5-117ppm, respectively with the high values of COD and SS at the stations 7 and 1. The concentrations of the dissolved inorganic nitrogen in sea water, NH$\sub$4/-N, NO$\sub$2/-N, NO$\sub$3/-N, and PO$\sub$4/-P were 18.90-99.80, 2.48- 19.60, 13.00-39.00 and 1.04-14.0$\mu\textrm{g}$ at/l, respectively with decrease of their values in the outer part of the Bay. The high values mentioned above were caused by the sewage and industrial activities. The effects of organic waste are increased oxygen demand, nutrient concentration, turbidity and a higher input of pathogens, leading to structural changes in the marine ecosystems and to a considerable hazard to public health. The percentage composition of phytoplankton standing crop between diatom and dinoflagellate was characterized by making a difference between the two groups in respect of location: a decrease of diatom and a increase of dinoflagellate in numerical abundance toward inner part from outer part of the bay. Namely phytoplankton organisms were composed of 80% of diatom and 20% of dinoflagellate in outer bay, on the contrary, only 4% of diatom and 96% of dinoflagellate occupied by 94% of prorocentrum micans known as tolerant species to polluted reaas in the inner bay. On the occurrence and composition of zooplankton, there are two significant communities in the bay:one is characterized by the predominance of Oithona nana and the other by Favella sp They were composed of a range from 84% to 90% of the total organisms and monotonously constituted of themselves only at most inner station 3 even small numbers. From the results mentioned above, Oithona nana, Favella and prorocentrum micans recommed themselves as valuable indicators for judging the extent of the marine pollution.During the period of the biossays Mytilus edulis showed the highest mortality and Tapes japonica the lowest one between the four test species. The highest death rate by stations was found at most inner stations 3'and 4near Masan Free Export Zone with the most sensitive response and the lowest one occured at outer station 13 where no death specimen of oyster and arkshell was found during the whole test period.As for mussel,85 percent death rate appeared after 72 hours and 100percent rate after 120hours at station 4. It was found that the significant high mortality of the test shellfish mentioned above was caused by severe pollution with mainly organic pollutants from domestic sewage and industrial wastes from the results of too much higher concentrations of dissolved inorganic nitrogen especially ammonia-N,COD,SS and lack of dissolved oxygen,and furthermore occurrence and abundance composition of Prorcentrum,Favella and Oithona nana by stations, valuable indicator species of coastal pollution by orgnic and boilogical pollutants.

Chlorophyll a (chl a) has been used as an indicator for phytoplankton biomass in pelagic ecosystems due to the relative ease of measurement and selectivity for autotrophs in mixed plankton assemblages. However, the use of chi a as an indicator for phytoplankton biomass is restricted due to its inability to resolve taxonomic differences of phytoplankton and the highly variable relationship of chi a with phytoplankton. Here, we describe the analysis of High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) photosynthetic pigment data using CHEMTAX, which is a matrix factorization program that uses chemical taxonomic indices (phytoplankton carotenoids) to quantify the abundance of phytoplankton groups. Compared to direct microscopic counting that can distinguish species within broad groups, the resolution of taxonomic groups by CHEMTAX is generally coarse. It can only distinguish between diatoms, dinoflagellates, cryptophytes, cyanobacteria, chlorophytes, prasinophytes, and haptophytes. However, CHEMTAX analysis is much faster and less expensive than microscopic counting methods. HPLC pigment observations were taken in the spring, summer, fall, and winter in$ 2005\sim2006$ within Gamak Bay, South Korea. CHEMTAX results revealed that diatoms were the dominant taxonomic group in Gamak Bay. In inner Gamak Bay, the ratio between diatoms and cryptophytes was $75\sim80%$, and the ratio between dinoflagellates and cryptophytes was $10\sim15%$. In outer Gamak Bay, the ratio between diatoms and cryptophytes was $85\sim90%$, and the ratio between dinflagellates and cryptophytes was only $1\sim5%$. The population structure was seasonal. Relative diatom populations were less in the summer than the winter season.

A series of experiments was conducted to identify the potential of five phytoplankton species as standard test species for marine ecotoxicological tests. The candidate phytoplankton species are Skeletonema costatum, Heterosigma akashiwo, Prorocentrum micans, Isochrysis galbana, and Tetraselmis suecica. Salinity tolerance and sensitivity on potassium dichromate as a reference material were identified. Toxicity of eleven ocean dumped sewage sludges and four red tide expellent extracts were estimated by the inhibition of population growth rates (PGR) of marine diatom S. costatum, While most species revealed relatively weak tolerance on salinity, T. suecica demonstrated the highest salinity tolerance ranged from $5\~35$ psu and the others $15\~35$ psu. H. akashiwo revealed the highest sensitivity as 72h $IC_{50}$=0.76mg/L and T. suecica the lowest as 72h $IC_{50}$=8.89mg/L on potassium dichromate. Sludge extracts from industrial waste, domestic sewage and livestock farm waste sludge showed high toxicity as 72h $IC_{50}$<$2\%$ and lowest toxicity from filtration bed sludge as 72h $IC_{50}$=$30.50\%$ NOEC (No Observed Effective Concentration) of sludge extract ranged from <$0.4\%$ to $1.6\%$ and this indicated high phytotoxicity of ocean dumped sewage sludge. The test sensitivity of phytoplankton PGR inhibition was much higher than those of marine rotifer Brachionus plicatilis mortality test and bioluminescent inhibition test by marine bacteria Vibrio fischeri, and comparable with the sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus intermedius) fertilization test. As a result the phytotoxicity test using phytoplankton PGR inhibition ($IC_{50}$) must be a useful tool for marine phyto-toxicological evaluation of ocean dumped materials.

규조류 C. calcitrans와 S. costatum, 그리고 Chaetoceros spp. 생육저해 활성을 가지는 해양세균, Shewanella sp. SR-14와 그 저해활성이 없는 V. alginolyticus의 지방산 조성을 분석하고 이들 해양세균과 규조류를 각각 혼합배양하였을 때 규조류의 지방산 조성변화를 측정하였다. Peptone broth에서 $20^{\circ}C$, 3일간 배양한 Shewanella sp. SR-14의 주요 지방산 조성은 16:1n-7 $(29.4\%)$과 16:0 $(19.2\%)$이었으나, V. alginolyticus의 경우는 16:0 $(23.7\%)$ 16:1n-7 $(27.7\%)$ 및 18:1n-7 $(21.0\%)$이었으며, 이들 세균을 Conwy 배지에서 재배양 하였을 때 그 조성은 peptone broth에서 배양한 균체와 약간의 변화가 있었다. 순수배양한 미세조류의 주요 지방산은 C. calcitrans의 경우 16:1n-7 $(33.3\%),$ 16:0 $(27.1\%)$ 및 14:0 $(12.1\%)$ 이었고, S. costatum은 16:1n-7 $(28.9\%),$ 16:0 $(21.6\%)$ 및 20:5 $(19.8\%)$이었다. 세균과 혼합배양한 규조류의 지방산 조성은 Shewanella sp. SR-l4와 혼합배양한 경우 순수배양한 조체에 비하여 포화지방산의 비율은 감소하였으나 불포화지방산의 비율은 증가하였으며, 그 변동율은 C. calcitrans의 경우가 S. costatum보다 높았다. 그러나 V. alginolyticus와 혼합배양한 경우 C. calcitrans는 포화지방산이 증가한 반면 불포화지방산은 감소하는 경향을 나타내었고, S. costatum은 순수 배양한 조체와 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그래서 C. calcitrans는 Shewanella sp. SR-14에 의하여 불포화지방산의 조성이 증가되고, 이러한 지방산은 이 균이 생성하는 조류증식 저해물질과 상승적으로 작용하여 더욱 조류의 증식이 억제되는 것으로 시사되었다.

본 연구에서는 해산 규조류(Skeletonema cosatatum)의 개체군성장률(r)을 사용하여 중금속 3종 (As, Cr, Pb)의 독성영향 평가를 실시하였다. S. costatum을 As (0, 0.32, 0.63, 1.25, 2.50 및 5.00 mg L^-1), Cr (0, 0.16, 0.32, 0.63, 1.25 및 2.50 mg L^-1) 및 Pb (0, 1.25, 2.50, 5.00, 10.00 및 20.00 mg L^-1)에 96시간 노출한 이후에 r 값을 측정하였다. 대조구에서 r은 0.04보다 높았으며 As 농도 0.63, Cr 농도 0.63 및 Pb 농도 10.00 mg L^-1 이상에서 r이 대조구 대비 유의하게 감소하였고 중금속 농도가 증가할수록 농도 의존적으로 감소되는 경향을 나타냈다. EC₅₀(반수영향농도)을 이용한 중금속의 독성세기는 Cr>As>Pb 순서를 나타냈으며, EC₅₀ 각각 0.80, 2.57 및 13.88 mgL^-1으로 나타났으며, 최소영향농도(LOEC)는 각각 0.63, 0.63 및 10.00 mg L^-1으로 나타났다. LOEC를 기준으로 해양환경에서 Cr, As, Pb 농도가 0.63, 0.63 및 10.00 mg L^-1 이상이 되었을 때, S. costatum에게 독성 영향이 나타날 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 본 연구를 통해 S. costatum의 r은 해양생태계 내에서 생산자 역할을 하는 생물에 대한 중금속의 독성평가를 위하여 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Biomass and community composition of microphytobentos in tidal flats were studied by HPLC analysis and also investigated to examine the relationship between microphytobenthic pigments and Adenosine-5' triphosphate (ATP) as an index of total microbial biomass in intertidal environments (muddy and sandy sediment) of Gyeonggi Bay, west coast of Korea. Microphytobenthic pigments and ATP concentration in muddy sediment were the highest at the surface while the biomass of microphytobenthos in sandy sediment was the highest at the sub-surface (0.75 cm sediment depth). The detected pigments of microphytobenthos were chlorophyll a, b (euglenophytes), $c_3$, peridinin (dinoflagellates), fucoxanthin (diatom or chrysophytes), diadinoxanthin, alloxanthin (cryptophytes), diatoxanthin, zeaxanthin (cyanobacteria), ${\beta}$-carotein, and pheophytin a (the degraded product of chlorophyll a). Among the pigments which were detected, the concentration of fucoxanthin was the highest, indicating that diatoms dominated in the microphytobenthic community of the tidal flats. There was little significant correlation between OC (Organic Carbon) and ATP in both sediments. However, a positive correlation between chlorophyll a concentration and ATP concentration was found in sandy sediment, suggesting that microbial biomass could be affected by labile OC derived from microphytobenthos. These results provide information that may help us understand the relationship between microphytobenthos and microbial biomass in different intertidal sediment environments.

본 연구는 완도근해 해역을 대상으로 2009년 8월 중순경과 2010년 8월 하순경에 대한 수온과 염분 분포 특성 및 식물플랑크톤 군집분석을 통하여 한국의 남서해역에 대한 기초 모니터링 자료를 제공하는데 목적이 있다. 2009년 8월 중순경의 자료를 보면 대부분의 정점에서 균일한 수온과 염분 분포를 나타내고 있다. 이러한 원인으로 7월부터 시작된 긴 장마와 일조량 부족으로 판단되다. 그러나 2010년 8월 하순경에는 수온과 염분의 성층화 현상이 나타났다. 성층화의 주요인으로는 8월 중순경부터 시작된 집중적인 일조량으로 인하여 발달된 것으로 추정된다. 저층의 경우 $20^{\circ}C$ 이하를 보여 표층과 큰 수온차를 보여주고 있으며 강진만과 고금도를 중심으로 한 해역과는 수온분포 차이를 볼 수 있다. 이러한 원인으로 고금도 근해에서 유입되는 외양수의 영향이 강진만까지 확대되지 못하고 직접적인 연안수의 영향으로 수온차를 나타내는 것으로 사료된다. 또한 투명도도 강진만과 고금도 근해해역과는 차이가 약 2배 이상 차이를 보여 수괴가 다소 상이한 것을 알 수 있다. 그러나 용존산소와 포화도는 조사일수에 관계없이 저층으로 갈수록 높아지는 경향을 보였다. 2009년 8월 중순경의 강진만은 규조류가 우점한 반면에 고금도 근해해역에는 $Gonyaulax$ $polygramma$ 종이 월등히 높은 세포밀도를 보여 2009년 8월 남해안에서 발생한 $G.$ $polygramma$ 적조가 유입된 것으로 추정된다. 2010년 8월 하순경에는 규조류로 점유되는 관계로 본 해역은 높은 부유물질에 관계없이 규조류가 월등히 높은 밀도를 보이는 원인으로 와편모조류의 급성장에는 적합하지 못한 해역으로 판단된다. 따라서 $Cochlodinium$ $polykrikoides$ 적조가 발생된 기록을 가지고 있지만 본 종이 지속적인 성장을 위한 해역으로 좋지 못한 환경을 가지고 있으며 본 해역에서 출현된 규조류는 조개류의 주요 먹이원으로 작용될 뿐만 아니라 기초생태계를 형성하는데 주요한 인자로 작용될 것으로 판단된다.

A study on the community and distribution of phytoplankton of the Kum River Estuary has been done in fall, 1980 and spring, 1981. Ond hundred and one taxa representing 22 families, 41 genera, 107 species, 2 varieties, and 2 forms were identified. The community of the study area composed mainly of diatom species icluding the very small fraction of dinoflagellates, blue-greens and greens. The dominant species were Skeletonema costatum, Paralia sulcata, and Asterionella kariana. The total standing crop of phytoplankton of winter samples was 115,000 cells/1 in average and that of spring samples was, 1,320,333 cells/1 in average. Of the representative members, dominant species above appeared moree than 10% of the total standing crop, Skeletonema costatum being maximized up to 46%. In spring Asterionella japonica, Thalassionema nitzschioides, and Chaetoceros curvistetus appeared 3∼8%, and Thalassiosira excentricus 3% in winter. The distribuion of marine forms showed negative correlation with that of fresh water forms, although the brackish-water forms showed no relationship. This change pattern of marine, brackish and fresh-water forms are discussed with the results of time series analysis. A list of phytoplankton species observed in this study is added.
