  • To investigate the food organisms of the Acentrogobius elongata during the juveniles stage, the stomach contents of fish, captured in the intertidal zone of Chungchongnam-do Sochon-gun Su-myon Dodun-ri between on early in June from the end of May 2000, were observed. Total length of the fingerings of A. elongata was 1.0~3.0cm size, and the participation rate of feeding was 68.6%. Main food organisms were such as copepods, shrimp larvae, polychaete larvae, and these occupied more than dry weight 4%. Copepods among them dominated the most quantitys by average 64.6%, and food organismsms appeared by order of polychaete larvae and shrimp larvae etc.. Therefore, most important food organisms of fingerlings stage of A. elongata were copepods, polychaete larvae, shrimp larvae etc.

  • The neustonic calanoid copepods Pontella securifer Brady, 1883 and P. sinica Chen and Zhang, 1965 are first recorded in Korea. These species occur in high temperatures over $23^{\circ}C$ and in a range of salinity from 26.6 to 31.2 psu. We provide full descriptions of the two species and discuss their zoogeography.

  • I investigated whether US naval pulp wastes (pulverized paper products), which is planned to be dumped into offshore waters, may affect the ecology of major components of marine zooplankton. The presence of slurry (0.6% concentration - wet weight ; wet weight) did not significantly affect the population growth rates of the heterotrophic dinoflagellate Polykrikos kofoidii fed on Lingulodinium polyedrum, but significantly reduced the ingestion rates of the calanoid copepods Acartia spp. on L. polyedrum and those of the copepod Calanus pacificus on Akashiwo sanguinea (previously Gymnodinium sanguineum). However, C. pacificus, originally exposed to 0.6% slurry for 24 hour, can recover its feeding rates when slurry disappears. Therefore, if slurry is diluted quickly due to trubulence after being dumped at 0.6% concentration, its presence may not affect Calanus. Chemicals leached from slurry did not affect the feeding rate of Calanus. Therefore, mechanical interference by slurry on the feeding and/or swimming of copepods may be mainly responsible for the reduction of the ingestion rates.

  • Microorganisms are contained filtered sea water that is why we often observed co-existing copepod species in the large-scale rotifer culture tanks. In this study, we investigated about taxonomical study of co-existing copepods in Brachionus rotifer mass culture tanks of several seafarming centers at Jeju-do and Pusan, Korea by microscope. Also, we counted number of copeods and density in 10 mL of cultured sea water and distinguished growing patterns and sex. As results, we can identified 4 species copepods, 2 species of Tisbe, 1 species of Tigriopus and 1 species of Apocyclops.

  • Pampus echinogaster was a carnivore and its major food items were crustaceans, hydromedusae, salps, Sagitta, and fish. Larvae and small juveniles preyed heavily on copepods. However, the portion of the diet attributable to copepods was decreased with increasing size, and this decrease was paralleled by an increased consumption of hydromedusae, salps, Sagitta, and fish.

  • To Investigate the distribution of resting eggs at the intertidal zone, Gomso Bay, samples were taken from the top of the sediments to 10 cm depth at four sites using a cylindrical corer in February, 1997. Additional samples were also taken from one station at subtidal zone to compare the distributions between the inter- and subtidal zones. The resting eggs of few copepods, Acartia pacifica, Centropages abdominalis, Calanopia thompsoni, and Tortanus forcipatus were studied. Mostly, the abundance of the resting eggs in the lower intertidal zone was greater than that in the upper intertidal zone, but was not significantly different from that in the subtidal zone. The abundance of the resting eggs in the intertidal sediments was related with the grain-size and moisture content of sediments. Intertidal sediments are potential egg banks like subtidal sediments.
