  • Phytoplankton forms the base of sea ecosystems. Various environmental factors and anthropogenic pollution, primarily, affect the concentration and photosynthetic activity algal cells, and the changes in the phytoplankton photosynthesis influence other elements of aquatic ecosystems. The increase in anthropogenic pollution markedly damages natural aquatic ecosystems, particularly, in the coastal zones, where an intense blooming of microalgae occurs, including the release of highly dangerous ecotoxic substances of various chemical natures (red tides). In this study, we tried to apply as a parameter for the algal blooming prediction in the ocean from fluorescence values in the taken samples around Busan coastal area. F0 value was almost constant but Fv/Fm value showed the irregular pattern. We presume that these results are due to the changes of the ocean environment and climate. To predict or give early warning the algal blooming, we need to investigate the specific area or fixed area through real-time monitoring. Especially, algal blooming prediction or warning can be achieved via continuously monitoring and interpretation of fluorescence changes.

  • The oceanic currents in the South China Sea (SCS) are strongly influenced by monsoon winds. A review on the SCS currents has indicated that previous studies have pointed out an anticyclonic circulation in the area between the southern Vietnam coast and the Spratly Islands. However, its detail is not understood because of less information of in situ observations. The physical-biological interaction is quite new research area, which has been established and promoted by means of the ocean color remote sensing. Temporal/spatial variability of the phytoplankton activities are well captured by ocean color (OC) -derived Chlorophyll-a images. Combining the OC-Chl-a and the other high-resolution satellite data (e.g., SST images), the biological aspects of oceanographic variation is well described. The blooming phenomena in the area between the southern Vietnam coast and the Spratly islands are further investigated. Change in the wind-system related to the El Nino generates upwelling/SST-cooling in the sea south of the Spratly Islands through the air-sea-land interaction was studied. The seasonal upwelling is also associated with the harmful algal bloom (HAB) off two side of Indochina Peninsula have investigated. The seasonal variation of SCS phytoplankton blooming and related oceanic conditions in Vietnam coast was observed. Ocean color satellite data has effective contribute to study the oceanic condition and phytoplankton blooming in South China Sea.

  • The European Iron Fertilization Experiment EIFEX studied the growth and decline of a phytoplankton bloom stimulated by fertilising $10km^2$ in the core of a mesoscale $(80{\times}120km)$ cyclonic eddy south of the Antarctic Polar Front with about 2 times 7 tonnes of iron sulphate. The phytoplankton accumulation induced by iron fertilization did not exceed $3{\mu}g\;chl\;a\;l^{-1}$ despite a draw down of $5{\mu}M$ of nitrate that should have resulted in at least double to triple the amount of phytoplankton biomass assuming regular Redfield-ratios for draw down after phytoplankton growth in the Southern Ocean. During EIFEX the fertilized core of the mesoscale eddy evolved to a hotspot for a variety of small and medium sized mesozooplankton copepods. In contrast to copepods, the biomass of salps (Salpa thompson)) that dominated zooplankton biomass before the onset of our experiment decreased to nearly extinction. Most of the species of the rnosozooplankton community showed extremely hiか feeding rates compared to literature values from Southern Ocean summer communities. At the end of the experiment, massive phytoplankton sedimentation reached the sea floor at about 3800m water depth.

  • Spatial distribution of phytoplankton pigment concentration (PPC) and sea surface temperature (SST) around the East Korean Warm Current (EKWC) was described, using both ocean color images and advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR) images. Water mass in this region can be classified into five categories in the horizontal profile of PPC and SST, nLw(normalized water-leaving radiance) images: (1) coastal cold water region associated with concentrations of dissolved organic material or yellow colored substances and suspended sediments, (2) cold water region of thermal frontal occurred by a combination of phytoplankton absorption and suspended materials, (3) warm water overlay region by the phytoplankton absorption than the suspended materials; (4) warm water region occurred by the low phytoplankton absorption, and (5) offshore region occurred by the high phytoplankton absorption. In particular, the highest PPC area appeared in the ocean color and SST images with a band shaped distribution of the thermal front and ocean color front region, which is located the coastal cold waters along western thermal front of the warm streamer of the EKWC.

  • The in vitro toxicities of three crude oils of the Hebei Spirit were examined on laboratory grown plankton, with a focus on the effects of a dispersant. The specific growth rate of phytoplankton and the mortalities of two zooplankton were measured in response to exposure to various concentrations of water accommodated oil, dispersant or both. The effects of the oils varied among the plankton, but were generally low within the range of the oil concentrations used, with little difference in toxicity among the three oils. Such low toxicity appeared to be associated with weathering of the crude oils. Exposure to the dispersant, however, dramatically increased the mortality of zooplankton, with complete inhibition of phytoplankton growth. No synergistic toxic effect was observed with the crude oil and dispersant combination. A better decision making process could be crafted for future application of dispersant in the event of an oil spill in Korean waters to better protect the marine plankton community from the excessive use of dispersant.

  • 북부 가막만에서 해양환경의 변화에 따라 식물플랑크톤의 군집이 어떻게 변화하는지 기존에 발표된 식물플랑크톤 생리학적 자료를 이용하여 해석하였다. 해양환경 및 식물플랑크톤 조사는 2007년 11월부터 2008년 9월까지 2개 정점에서 관측하였다. 조사 동안 10%이상 점유율을 나타내는 우점종은 와편모조류 1종, 규조류 11종 등 총 12종이었다. 우점종의 출현 시기를 보면 규조류 Skeletonema costatum이 하계(7월과 8월)를 제외하고 우점하였으며, 특히 12월은 90% 이상의 매우 높은 우점율을 보였다. 그리고 나머지 기간은 규조류 Eucampia zodiacus와 Chaetoceros속이 우점하였다. 따라서 2008년 7월과 8월에 S. costatum이 우점하지 않는 이유를 생리학적 측면에서 살펴보면 1) S. costatum과 E. zodiacus는 모두 광온 광염성 종이지만, 하계의 수온에서는 E. zodiacus가 S. costatum보다 높은 성장속도를 보였고, 2) 7월에 낮은 부유물질의 농도는 높은 광량이 수중에 도달할 수 있어 E. zodiacus와 같이 광에 대한 친화성이 낮은 종도 우점할 수 있다. 또한 3) 인산염이 비교적 낮은 시기에는 성장전략을 보이는 S. costatum이, 높은 인산염 농도일 때 저장전략을 보이는 E. zodiacus종이 우점할 수 있기 때문으로 생각된다. 앞으로 더 구체적인 식물플랑크톤의 군집 변화를 알아보기 위해서는 계절별로 우점하는 대표 식물플랑크톤에 대한 생리실험이 필요할 것으로 보인다.

  • 신안군 압해도 남서해역에 위치하는 김 양식 어장의 해양환경 특성을 파악하기 위하여 2013년 10월부터 2014년 월까지 김 엽상체의 성육 단계인 유엽기, 중엽기 및 성엽기에 맞추어 3회에 거쳐 수질환경과 식물플랑크톤 군집 파악을 위한 현장조사를 실시하였다. 압해 김 양식장은 수심의 얕은 천해역에 위치하여 바람과 조석혼합 등 물리적 교란에 의해 해저 표층퇴적물의 재부유가 심하게 발생하고 있다. 해저 표층퇴적물의 재부유는 영양염류의 공급과 함께 높은 총부유물질량에 의해 해수 중으로 투과되는 빛을 방해하여, 겨울 김 성장시기에 김과 동일한 영양염류 흡수를 경쟁하는 식물플랑크톤 성장을 방해하는 것으로 판단되었다. 이러한 압해 김 양식장 해양환경은 최근 일본의 김 흉작과 변색에 의해 품질이 저하되는 원인인 김 성장기 질소원을 중심으로 하는 영양염류 부족과 투명한 해수로 인한 충분한 광 투과로 김 보다 영양흡수 효율이 좋은 대형 규조류가 겨울 규조적조를 발생시키는 환경과 대조된다. 즉 압해도 김 양식장의 물리적 교란에 따른 퇴적물 재부유로 인한 영양염 공급과 높은 부유물질량에 따른 식물플랑크톤 성장 억제와 같은 해양환경이 우리나라 서해 남부 김 양식장의 높은 생산량으로 연결하는 중요한 인자로 작용한다고 판단되었다.

  • In general, long-term changes of ecological factors take a pulse form in which they interact with other factors and go through a repeated increasing and decreasing cycle. The coupling of the two approaches the grid model and the box model in ecological modeling can lead to an in-depth understanding of the environment. The study analyzes temporal variations of major storages with an energy system model that formulizes effectively the relationships among nutrients, phytoplankton, and zooplankton in the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea. An increase of light intensity and standing stock of nutrient increase the magnitude and frequency of pulsing. Also, an immense reduction of nutrient concentration can cause extinction of the pulsing and bring about a steady state. It is concluded that the nutrient loads in freshwater discharge from the Yangtze affect the cycles of major ecological components as well as water quality variables and play an important role in the marine ecosystem.

  • 2009년 이른 여름 동중국해 동부의 대륙사면을 대상으로 해양환경과 소형 식물플랑크톤 군집을 조사하였다. 수온약층은 뚜렷하지 않고 수심에 따라 완만하게 감소하였다, 염분은 표층에서 낮고 비교적 깊은 수심까지 균일한 분포를 보이나, 중간 수층이하에서는 수심과 비례하여 150~200 m에서 최댓값을 보인 다음 감소하였으나, 변화 폭은 크지 않았다. sigma-t의 변화는 수온에 의해 지배되어, 표층에서 수심과 함께 완만히 증가하여 약 500 m에서 표층보다 약 3 $kg/m^3$ 높은 값을 나타내었다. 광량은 해수 표층에서 급격히 감소하여, 보상심도는 약 100 m 수심에 위치하였다. 엽록소 a의 연직분포는 수온이나 염분보다 광량에 더욱 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 보상심도에서 최댓값을 나타내었다. 소형 식물플랑크톤 군집은 56속 103종으로 비교적 다양하였고, 세포밀도 역시 엽록소 a가 최댓값을 나타내는 수심에서 112.0~470.0 cells/L로 가장 높게 나타났다. 우점종에서 극우점하는 종은 없고, 낮은 점유율로 다양한 종이 출현하지만, 일부 정점에서 규질편모조류인 Octactis octonaria나 규조류인 Leptocylindrus mediterraneus에 의해 26%의 우점율은 나타내는 것은 이례적이다. 본 연구의 결과는 개방된 빈영양 해역의 식물플랑크톤 등 미소생물의 군집 해석은 표층, 중층 및 저층과 같은 일정 수심 간격의 조사가 아닌, 해양환경의 연직분포나 엽록소 최대층의 파악과 같은 연속관측의 결과와 연계된 생태연구가 필수적임을 지적하고 있다.
