Taxonomic composition of marine benthic algal flora was investigated in an Antarctic bay. Specimens of chlorophyte, chrysophyte and phaeophyte were collected and examined over the period from January 1988 to January 1995 from Maxwell Bay, King George Island. A total of 19 genera and 23 species (7 chlorophytes, 1 chrysophyte and 15 phaeophytes) were identified and described. A chlorophyte Lambia antarctica (Skottsberg) Delepine and a phaeophyte Alethocladus corymbosus (Dickie) Sauvageau were recorded in Maxwell Bay for the first time. Taxonomic keys for the chlorophytes and the phaeophytes were also provided.

Four species of Paraphysomonas collected from the fast- ice covered area Syowa Station, East Ongul Island ($69^{\circ}00'S,\;39^{\circ}35'$) ,Antarctica occurred in the seawater throughout the year and occasionally in the sea ice. P.. antarctica is distributed to a water depth of 35m at 51.3 during the period from August 1983 to January 1984 and also down to 600m St. 5 in September 1983 at cell concentrations of 300-350 cells/ml. The Paraphysomonas spp. were dominant during the period from July to November 1983 in the area studied. The mode of the occurrence and vertical distribution of Paraphysomonas apparently coresponds to those of the bacteria and orgarnic debris-like matter in the seawater. The main components of the plankton population in the area studied, under ice-covered conditions, are Paraphysomonas, Choanoflagellates and bacteria. This work clarified that Paraphysomonas is one o f the most important bacterivores in the microbial loop of the Antarctic marine ecosystem.

2004년 봄철 제주해협과 동중국해 북부해역에서 식물플랑크톤의 군집 분포 특성과 해양 환경 요인의 관계를 파악하기 위해, 해양관측과 함께 HPLC를 이용한 식물플랑크톤 군집 조성과 flow cytometry를 이용한 초미소플랑크톤의 조성과 풍도를 조사하였다. 제주해협의 수온 염분 관측결과, 제주도 북부연안에 서쪽에서 동진하는 고온 고염 대마난류수와 제주해협의 표층 중앙부에 저염의 중국대륙연안수, 그리고 남해안 연안에 황해저층 냉수의 존재를 확인하였다. 제주도 연안에서 북쪽으로 약 20 km 떨어진 해역의 표층에 15 km 너비의 저염수(<33 psu)가 20 m 수심까지 분포하였고, 남북 방향으로 고온 고염수가 저온 저염수와 전선을 이루고 있었다. 동중국해 북부해역에서도 중국대륙연안수의 영향을 받은 저염수가 수심 20 m 표층에 존재하였고, 저층에는 약 33.5 psu 이상의 고염의 해수가 분포하고 있었다. Chl a는 $0.06{\sim}3.07\;{\mu}g/L$로, 중국대륙연안수의 영향을 받은 저염 수괴가 분포한 해역에서 매우 높아 봄철 증식이 있었음을 알 수 있었고, Chl a 최대층은 수심 25 m 부근의 수온약층 또는 하부에 존재하였다. 식물 플랑크톤 군집의 우점 분류군은 dinoflagellate, diatom과 prymnesiophyte, 소수 분류군은 chlorophyte, chrysophyte, cryptophyte, prasinophyte와 cyanophyte로 다양하게 이루어져 있었다. 제주해협과 동중국해 북부해역의 저염한(<33 psu) 표층수에 cyanophyte(Zea)와 prymnesiophyte (Hex-fuco)+chrysophyte (But-fuco)가 분포하고, 그 아래 수심 30 m까지 전선역에서 dinoflagellate의 지시색소인 peridinin이 최고 $1.0\;{\mu}g/L$ 이상의 농도로 Chl a 최대층에서 검출되어, 전체 식물플랑크톤의 생물량을 결정하는 주요종임을 확인하였다. 이로써 제주해협 및 동중국해 북부해역에서 2004년 5월에 dinoflagellate에 의한 적조의 발생이 확인되었다. 초미소플랑크톤 중 Synechococcus와 picoeukaryote의 풍도는 각각 $0.2{\sim}9.5{\times}10^4\;cells/mL$와 $0.43{\sim}4.3{\times}10^4\;cells/mL$로 매우 높게 측정되었으며, Prochlorococcus는 검출되지 않아 조사 해역이 쿠로시오 해류의 영향권에서 벗어나 있음을 알 수 있었다. 제주해협에서 picoeukaryote의 풍도는 쿠로시오 해수에 비해 약 $5{\sim}10$배 이상 높았고, Chl b (Pras+Viola)뿐 아니라 수온, 염분과 높은 양의 상관관계를 보여 picoeukaryote의 대부분이 prasinophyte로 이루어졌고, 고온 고염수의 기원을 가진 것을 알 수 있었다. 전체 Chl a 농도는 수온과 염분 모두 강한 음의 상관성을 보여, 제주해협 및 동중국해 북부해역의 일차생산과 식물플랑크톤의 생물량은 대부분 중국대륙연안수에 의한 영양염 공급에 크게 의존하고 있다고 판단된다.

Abundance and distribution of phytoplankton in seawater at southwestern East/Japan Sea near Gampo were investigated by HPLC analysis of photosynthetic pigments during summer of 1999. Detected photosynthetic pigments were chlorophyll a, b, $c_{1+2}$ (Chl a, Chl b, Chl $c_{1+2}$), fucoxanthin (Fuco), prasinoxanthin (Pras), zeaxanthin (Zea), 19'-butanoyloxyfucoxanthin (But-fuco) and beta-carotene (B-Car). Major carotenoid was fucoxanthin (bacillariophyte) and minor carotenoids were Pras (prasinophyte), Zea (cyanophyte) and But-fuco (chrysophyte). Chl a concentrations were in the range of $0.16-8.3\;{\mu}g/land$ subsurface chlorophyll maxima were observed at 0-10m at inshore and 30-50 m at offshore. Thermocline and nutricline tilted to the offshore direction showed a mild upwelling condition. Results from size-fraction showed that contribution from nano+picoplankton at Chl a maximum layer was increased from 18% at inshore to 69% at offshore on average. The maximum contribution from nano+picoplankton was found as 87% at St. E4. It was noteworthy that contribution from nano+picoplanktonic crysophytes and green algae to total biomass of phytoplankton was significant at offshore. Satellite images of sea surface temperature indicated that an extensive area of the East/Japan Sea showed lower temperature ($<18\;^{\circ}C$) but the enhanced Chi a patch was confined to a narrow coastal region in summer, 1999. Exceptionally high flux of low saline water from the Korea/Tsushima Strait seemed to make upwelling weak in summer of 1999 in the study area. Results of comparisons among Chi a from SeaWiFS, HPLC and fluorometric analysis showed that presence of Chi b cause underestimation of Chi a about 30% by fluorometric analysis but overestimation by satellite data about 30-75% compared to HPLC data.

The Han River was investigated monthly from April through September, 1967 at Chun-chon reservoir, Shin-yean, So-yang, Chung-pyong reservoir, Yang-soo-ri and Gi-doo-won to clarify the phytoplankton and to study its seasonal variation. At the same time, vertical distribution of phytoplankton was also studied from June through September at Chun-chon and Chung-pyong reservoir. The results obtained are as follows: As the environmental conditions, water temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, and transparency were determined. The plankton samples collected from six stations were identified and classified by Engler's classification system. It resulted in 4 phyla, 4 classes, 3 subclasses, 13 orders, 27 families, 5 tribes, 71 genera, 222 species, 1 subspecies, 51 varieties and 2 forms. The total number of phytoplankton identified was 276. Of them, 84 species, 1 subspecies 26 varieties, 2 forms were recorded in this paper for the first time. Considering with the habitat of the total number of phytoplanktons, the highest percentage of Limnoplankton existed in the Chung-pyong reservoir. It suggests that hte Chung-pyong reservoir is becoming to have the character of lake. The planktons appeared commonly during six months at six station belong to Chrysophyta including 22 species in 11 genera. Among these 22 species, Navicula, consists of 6 species, was the most abundant. The number of species identified uniquely at each station were 5 species in the Chun-chon reservoir, 6 in Chung-pyong and Yang-soo-ri, 8 at Shin-yean, 11 at So-yang, and 18 at Gi-doo-won. The number of species occurred at all stations were 29 in spring, 42 in Autumn and during investigation period. The maximum production of total phytoplankton was generally shown in the late spring and the early fall with differences in quantity at six collecting statins. In the Chun-chon reservoir, the high concentration of approximately 1, 190, 000 cells per litter in the months of August and September was due to the increase of Chrysophyte genus, Melosira and the highest concentration of approximately 2, 000, 000 in July at Gi-doo-won was caused Chlorophyte genus, Secenedesmus. The Chun-chon reservoir of three years old was different from the Chung-pyong reservoir of 25 years old with respect to increase in Melosira genus in August and September. After the completion of the Ui-am reservoir, though there was an increase in total density, the number of species of phytoplankton was not changed. It suggests that Ui-am reservoir is similar to the Chun-chon reservoir under the influence of the latter. The density of total phytoplankton was generally high at the depth of 2m to 5m for the two reservoirs.
