The seasonal succession of zooplankton communities in the coastal area off Incheon, Kyeonggi Bay, was investigated with the samples collected at intervals of 10 to 15 days from January 1999 to December 2000. Total abundance of zooplankton communities showed remarkable seasonal variations, ranged from 1,100 to $120,400{\;}indiv./\textrm{m}^3$, and annual mean abundance was $22,000{\;}indiv./\textrm{m}^3$. There were several times of the total abundance during a year, and the timing ofhigh abundances were about the same in 1999 and 2000. During the study period except summer, the abundance of dinoflagellate Noctiluca scintillans and copepod Acartia hongi contributed to the most part of total zooplankton. Whereas, during summer, smaller copepod Oithona davisae and Paracalanus crassirostris were dominant species. Zooplankton communities in the coastal waters off Incheon showed typical characteristics of coastal-estuarine communities, which were dominated by a few species, and abrupt seasonal variations in abundance. We suggest that the seasonal succession and abundance variations of zooplankton communities were caused by the seasonal variations in water temperature and by the seasonally varying phytoplankton biomass in the study area.

The objectives of this study to determine seasonal changes in species composition and abundance of fish and decapod assemblage, and the relationships between environmental factors and their abundance in an eelgrass bed of Jindong Bay. A total of 26 fish species and 29 decapod species were collected by a small beam trawl from an eelgrass bed in Jindong Bay in 2002. The dominant fish species were Hexagrammos otakii, Pholis neulosa and P. fangi and these accounted for 48.4 % in the total number of individuals. Dominant decapod taxa were Palaemon macrodactylus, Charybdis japonica, Pagurus minutus and C. bimaculata. These were primarily small species or early juveniles of larger species. Species composition and abundance varied greatly showing a peak in the number of individuals in April and May, and peak biomass in fish in July and decapods in August. Catch rate was low in winter months both in fish and in decapod. Seasonal changes in the abundance of fishes and decapods corresponded with eelgrass biomass and abundance of food organisms indirectly.

Ciliate abundance and biomass were determined at three anchored stations in the Han River estuary trimonthly from May 2006 to February 2008. The total abundance of ciliates ranged from 0-13,853 cells $l^{-1}$ and biomass ranged from $0.00-73.98\;ugC\;l^{-1}$. Owing to the large seasonal temperature variation (range 0.20-$27.2^{\circ}C$), ciliate abundance displayed marked seasonal variation, being higher in summer than in other seasons. Tintinnids dominated the ciliate communities at station YC where suspended sediment was highest. Difference of ciliate biomass between ebb tide and flood tide were irregular. Seasonal variations of ciliate carbon biomass at each station were related to temperature, suspended sediment and chl.a, especially nano chl.a. Geographical variations of ciliate carbon biomass in each season were related to suspended sediment and salinity.

1986년 6월에서 1987년 3월 사이 영광 연안에서 소형 otter trawl를 이용하여 계절별로 저어류를 채집하여 종조성 변화를 분석하였다. 총 33종의 어류가 채집되었으며, 그 가운데 민태(Johnius grypotus), 쉬쉬망둑(Chaeturichthys stigmatias), 보구치(Argyrosomus argentatus)와 참서대(Cynoglossus joyneri)가 우점하여, 이 4종이 총 채집개체수의 81.9%, 총생체량의 71.4%를 차지하였다. 출현종수와 채집량은 온수기에 높았고, 이 시기에는 주거종인 참서대와 회유중인 보구치와 민태가 우점하였다. 냉수기에는 출현종수도 적었고, 쉬쉬망둑과 등가시치(Zoarces gillii)가 우점하였다. 본 연구 주요 우점종의 상대빈도는 1995년의 자료와 유사한 계절변동을 보였다. 한반도 서남 연안 천해역의 저어류 자료와 비교한 결과, 민태와 쉬쉬망둑의 상대빈도는 조류가 빨라짐에 따라 감소하였으나, 참서대는 증가하였다. 이러한 중감 경향은 참서대의 체형이 민태나 쉬쉬망둑에 비하여 바닥에 접촉할 수 있는 면이 넓어 조류가 강한 연안역에서 우점할 수 있는 것으로 추정된다.

The seasonal variations of picoplankton including Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus and Picoeukayotes around Ulneung Island were investigated by flow cytometry in spring, summer and autumn in 2006. All groups of picoplankton showed clear seasonal patterns in population abundance. Among the group, Synechococcus showed the most prominent seasonal variation during the study period. The maximal abundance of Synechococcus occurred in summer and the lowest in autumn. The seasonal distribution of Prochlorococcus displayed the reverse tendency with that of Synechococcus. The abundance of Prochlorococcus ranged from $2.9{\times}10^3$ cells/ml in summer to $311{\times}10^3$ cells/ml in autumn. However, the seasonal distribution of Picoeukaryotes was shown to be relatively constant, and the maximal abundance was $81.5{\times}10^3$ cells/ml in summer. The highest abundance of Picoeukaryotes occurred in summer and the lowest in autumn and the seasonal distribution in abundance of Picoeukaryotes showed a similar trend with that of Synechococcus. The estimated total carbon biomass of picoplankton were ranged from $74.7\;mg\;C/m^2$ to $1,055.9\;mg\;C/m^2$. The highest total carbon biomass occurred in summer, but lowest occurred in autumn. The pattern of the contribution of three picoplankton to total autotrophic picoplankton carbon is different. The contribution of Synechococcus to total autotrophic picoplankton carbon is increased to 75%, but the contribution of Prochlorococcus dropped to 12% in summer. The contribution of Picoeukaryotes is ranged from 24% in summer to 72.5% in spring.

Seasonal changes in microzooplankton abundance were identified in the mesohaline Chesapeake Bay and several tributaries from July 1992 through December 1995. Ciliates numerically dominated, comprising over 90% of the total microzooplankton density and aloricate ciliates usually outnumbered loricate ciliates. Copepod nauplii accounted for the highest microzooplankton biomass (>75% in dry weight). Rotifers made small contributions to the total microzooplankton density and biomass (<5%). Time series analysis indicated a twelve month cycle in microzooplankton abundance, and mid-summer(August) peaks for copepod nauplii, and a spring through fall peaks (May-October) for ciliates. Rotifers showed two seasonal peaks: one in mid-summer(August) at the river stations and the other in mid-winter(February) at the mesohaline stations. Seasonal peaks of copepod nauplii and rotifers coincided with the mesozooplankton abundance peak. On the other hand, ciliate maximum usually occurred between the phytoplankton and mesozooplankton peaks. This pattern of microzooplankton seasonality suggests the intermediate trophic role of microzooplankton (especially ciliates) between the phytoplankton(especially picophytoplankton) and mesozooplankton in Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries.

In the seas around the Korean Peninsula, the seasonal cycle of zooplankton related to North Pacific regime shifts was investigated to understand the reaction of the ecosystem to climate change using long-term data on zooplankton biomass (1965-2000) and the abundance of four major zooplankton groups: copepods, amphipods, chaetognaths, and euphausiids (1978-2000). In general, the zooplankton biomass showed a large peak in spring and a small peak in autumnin Korean waters, but there was a slight difference in the peak time depending on the location and the period before and after the North Pacific regime shift. The zooplankton biomass showed conspicuous seasonal peaks in R-III (1990-2000) compared to R-I (1965-1976) and R-II (1977-1988), and the seasonal peak shifted from the autumn in R-II to the spring in R-III. The peak of copepods and euphausiids in abundance was from April to June, while chaetognaths peaked from August to October. We postulate that the time lag between the peaks for copepods and chaetognaths results from the predator-prey relationship. The regime shift in 1989 did not alter the seasonal cycle of the four major zooplankton groups, although it enhanced their production. The seasonal peaks of the four major zooplankton groups did not shift, while the seasonal peaks of the zooplankton biomass did shift. This was not only becausethe zooplankton biomass included other mesozooplankton groups but also because the abundance of the four major zooplankton groups increased significantly in spring.

The seasonal abundance of horse and deer flies (family Tabanidae) was analyzed using Mosquito Magnet$^{(R)}$ traps at 5 sites located near/in the demilitarized zone, northern Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea from late April to early October for 4 consecutive years (2010-2013). A total of 2,999 horse and deer flies (tabanids) belonging to 5 genera and 20 species were collected. Chrysops mlokosiewiczi (90.9%) was the most frequently collected, followed by Haematopota koryoensis (4.8%) and C. suavis (1.0%). The remaining 17 species comprised only of 3.3% of all species collected. C. mlokosiewiczi demonstrated bimodal peak populations during mid-June and early August, while H. koryoensis demonstrated a unimodal peak during mid-July. Overall numbers of tabanids collected were influenced by the previous year's winter temperatures and precipitation. Population abundance was influenced by habitat with most of tabanids collected from habitats near forested areas, followed by rice paddies, and a beef farm.

아열대 seagrass 어류군집의 계절적 변동을 결정하기 위해, 미국 Texas 남쪽 해안에 위치한 Redfish Bay의 seagrass meadow에서 서식하는 소형어류개체군들의 밀도를 1982~1983년동안 매달 조사하였다. 23과 40종에 속하는 총 10223개체수가 채집되었으며, 평균밀도는 shoalgrass에서 약 15마리/$m^2$ 이었고 turtlegras 에서 약 6마리/$m^2$ 이었다. Darter goby, pinfish, code goby 그리고 Gulf pipefish가 일년을 통해 양 meadows는 우점종으로 나타났다. 이들 네 어종은 총채집된 개체수의 약 85%를 차지하였다. Darter goby는 얕은곳에 위치한 shoalgrass에서 가장 흔한 어종이었으며 약간,은 곳에 위치한 turtlegrass에서는 pinfish와 code goby가 가장 흔한 어종이었다. 어류의 종구성과 밀도의 계절적 변화는 이들 두 아열대 seagrass meadows에서 뚜렷하게 나타난다. 어류의 최대밀도는 봄에 나타난다. 어류밀도는 여름에 감소하나 가을에 다시 증가한다. 최소밀도는 겨울에 나타난다. 네 우점종은 각기 서로 다른 계절적 밀도변화 양상을 보인다. 이들 사이에는 약간의 중첩이 있지만 일반적으로 다른 종들로부터 1~3개월 분리된 최대밀도 시기를 보인다. 이같이 분리된 최대밀도 시기를 보이는 주요 어종의 계절적 개체수변화 양상은 높은 어류밀도를 지닌 아열대 seagrass meadows에서의 이들 주요 어종의 공존을 가능케하는 것으로 사료된다.

천수만의 동물플랑크톤을 채집, 분석하여 그 종소성와 수도(數度)에 있어서의 계 절변화와 Copepoda의 연간 생산량이 규명되었다. 종조성과 수도의 현저한 계절 변동과 함께 Paracalanus indicus 및 Corycaeus affinis가 여름에서 가을에 걸쳐 우점하는 반 면, Centropages abdominalis 와 Acartia omorii가 봄에 우점함을 보인다. 동물플랑크 톤의 수도는 3월에 최소치를 나타내고 이어서 점점 증가하여 8월에 최대치에 도달한 다. 연구해역에서 동물플랑크톤의 계절변화는 식물플랑크톤의 크기 및 양의 변화와 수 온에 의해 주로 영향을 받음이 알려졌다. Copepoda의 연간 총 생산량은 건조 중량으로 134g/100m$^3$로 추정되었으며 타 해역에 비해 높은 생산성을 나타낸다.
