  • 울릉도에 자생하는 거머리말속 잘피 분포 현황을 밝히기 위해 2019년 9월말 울릉도 연안과 항내에서 선박을 이용하여 잠수조사를 하였다. 잘피 생육 환경을 조사하기 위해 잘피가 서식하는 장소의 해수와 퇴적물 공극수의 영양염 농도, 염분 및 퇴적물의 유기물 함량을 분석하였다. 울릉도 천부리, 저동리, 사동리와 남양리 연안에는 비교적 깊은 수심(14~24 m)에서 수거머리말 군락지가 관찰되었고, 총 생육면적은 약 4.9 ha이었다. 현포리 현포항내에는 3~5 m의 수심에서 생육면적 약 0.9 ha의 거머리말이 서식하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 수거머리말의 평균 생육밀도와 생체량은 각각 121.9±9.7 shoot m-2와 99.0±13.2 gDW m-2로 서식지별로 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았고, 거머리말의 생육밀도와 생체량은 각각 193.8±18.8 shoot m-2와 102.6±6.8 gDW m-2로 나타났다. 울릉도의 수거머리말과 거머리말 군락지 퇴적물의 영양염 농도와 퇴적물 유기물 함량은 남해안과 동해안의 잘피군락지보다 낮은 값을 보였다. 본 연구결과는 울릉도 연안의 거머리말속 잘피 현황을 최초로 보고하며, 해양보호구역으로 지정된 울릉도 해역의 보존과 해양보호생물인 수거머리말과 거머리말 보호에 유용한 기초자료를 제공할 것이다.

  • The epiphytic diatom flora living on leaf tissues of Zostera marina, Z. japonica and Z. caespitosa at three study sites (Dadae, Gabae, and Jangmok) located in Geoje Island has been examined from July 2001 to March 2002 bimonthly. Total 81 species in 26 genera of diatoms have been observed on leaf tissues of the 3 Zostera species throughout the present study. Cocconeis spp. were predominant on Z. japonica, whereas Navicula spp. and Nitzschia spp. were predominant on Z. marina and Z. caespitosa. The community structure of the diatom assemblages varied according to the seagrass species. Species compositions of epiphytic diatoms appear to be closely related to morphology and lifespan of seagrasses.

  • In this study, crude extract of the seagrass Zostera japonica, and its solvent-partitioned fractions were evaluated for their antioxidant activity. The crude extract was successively fractionated into n-hexane, 85% aqueous methanol (85% aq.MeOH), n-butanol (n-BuOH), and water fractions by liquid-liquid partition. These include DPPH radical scavenging, hydroxyl radical scavenging in HT-1080 cells, peroxynitrite scavenging, and protective effect on DNA damage caused by hydroxyl radicals generated. In all assays, except for DPPH radical, 85% aq.MeOH and n-BuOH fraction showed the strong antioxidant activity. These results suggest that Z. japonica may be used as a potential source of natural antioxidants for the development of cosmetic product or functional food in the future.

  • In 2022, during a survey of intertidal fauna around Jindo located in the Dadohaehaesang National Park in the South Sea, epizoic hydroids attaching onto seagrass (Zostera sp.) growing on soft sediments were collected. Through taxonomic examination, an unrecorded species, Ectopleura radiata, is newly added to the hydrozoan fauna of Korea. In addition, DNA barcoding for species from Ectopleura and Tubularia clarified the distinction among morphologically indistinguishable species without gonophores. Up to now, only one species, E. crocea, has been reported in Korea. Through this study, a total of two species belonging to genus Ectopleura have been reported in Korean waters so far.

  • 본 연구는 우리나라의 대표적인 잘피 2종인 거머리말과 게바다말의 빛, 염분과 수온 조건에 따른 발아율을 조사하였다. 빛의 유무는 거머리말의 발아에는 영향을 주지 않았으나, 게바다말은 유광조건에서 발아율이 유의하게 높았다. 거머리말과 게바다말은 각각 0 psu와 15 psu에서 발아율이 가장 높았고, 두 종 모두 염분이 증가할수록 발아율이 급격히 낮아졌다. 최적 수온조건은 거머리말과 게바다말이 각각 $5^{\circ}C$$15^{\circ}C$로 나타났으며, $25^{\circ}C$에서는 현저히 낮았다. 이러한 거머리말과 게바다말의 최적 발아율의 차이는 두 종의 서식환경의 차이에서 기인하는 것으로 추측된다. 지금까지 우리나라 연안에 분포하는 잘피 종자의 발아에 대한 자료가 전무하므로, 이 결과는 잘피서식지 보전에도 중요한 정보를 제공할 것이다.

  • Growth dynamics of the seagrass, Zostera marina were examined at the two stations (Myungju and Dagu) in Jindong Bay on the southern coast of Korea. Eelgrass leaf productivities, underwater irradiance, water temperature, dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) in water column and sediments, and tissue carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) content were monitored monthly from March 2002 to January 2004. Underwater irradiance fluctuated highly without a clear seasonal trend, whereas water temperature showed a distinct seasonal trend at both study stations. Water column DIN concentrations were usually less than $5{\mu}M$ at both study sites. Sediment pore water $NH_4{^+}$ and $NO_3{^-}+NO_2{^-}$ concentrations were higher at the Myungju site than at the Dagu site. Eelgrass leaf productivity at both study sites exhibited a distinct seasonality, increasing during spring and decreasing during summer. Seasonal variation of eelgrass productivity was not consistent with seasonal patterns of underwater irradiance, or water temperature. Eelgrass tissue C and N content at both study sites also showed significant seasonal variations. Relationships between tissue C and N content and leaf productivities exhibited usually negative correlations at both study sites. These negative correlations implied that the growth of Z. marina at the study sites was probably limited by C and N supplies during the high growth periods.
