  • 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.

  • Neustonic calanoid copepods were collected at the South Sea of Korea using a David-Hempel neuston net. Four Pantel/apsis species (P. armata Giesbrecht, P. rega/is Dana, P. vil/asa Brady and P. yamadae Mori) were identified and the former three species were first recorded in the Korea. We present redescription of the four species with SEM micrographs of female genitalia. Female genital structure is species-specific and can be very useful for species classification in the genus Pantel/apsis. Also we discuss zoogeography of Pantel/apsis species and provide with a key to the species hitherto known in the Korean waters.

  • 여수와 제주도 사이 해역에 출현한 수표성 동물플랑크톤의 군집 분포와 환경요인 간의 관계를 파악하기 위해 2017년 9월 총 14개 정점에서 뉴스톤 네트를 이용하여 선박 측면에서 예인 및 채집하였다. 동물플랑크톤은 총 81개 분류군으로 요각류가 최우점하였다. 동물플랑크톤 출현 개체수를 기반으로 연안수의 영향을 받는 해역, 연안수와 외해수가 만나는 해역, 외해수의 직접적 영향을 받는 해역으로 구분되었다. 본 연구에서 해역별 우점 요각류, 식성에 따른 요각류를 2개 그룹으로 구분하고 군집에 미치는 환경요인을 분석한 결과 수온과 염분, 식물플랑크톤, 부유플라스틱과 유의미하였다(p<0.05). 추가로 연구 해역에 출현한 치어 및 화살벌레류의 위 내용물 분석을 통해 미세플라스틱 섭식을 확인하였다. 낮은 영양단계에서 섭취한 플라스틱이 먹이사슬을 타고 올라가 높은 영양단계로 전달된 것으로 보인다. 결과적으로 우리나라 남해 서부 해역에 출현하는 동물플랑크톤 군집 특성을 볼 때 여름철 확장 범위를 달리하는 섬진강 수, 제주난류, 쓰시마난류의 영향을 받아 군집 분포가 달라지는 것으로 판단된다.

  • To understand physical structures in the Korean waters, we investigated the spatio-temporal distribution of Pontella species known as indicator species of water mass using a David-Hempel neuston net from April 2002 to March 2003. Five Pontella species (P. chierchiae Giesbrecht, P. fera Dana, P. latifurca Chen and Zhang, P. securifer Brady and P. sinica Chen and Zhang) were found. Their abundance increased from May to October with increasing the surface water temperature. Pontella chierchiae predominantly appeared in the whole areas while P. latifurca scarcely occurred in coastal waters. The other three species (P. fera, P. securifer and P. sinica) were rarely found in the South Sea of Korea on August to September. We suggest that P. securifer and P. fera as oceanic species can play a role in an indicator species of the Tsushima Warm Current while P. sinica as Chinese coastal species is affected by the diluted waters of the Yantze River. We also provide re-description of the three species (P. chierchiae, P. fera and P. latifurca) insufficiently described and discuss their zoogeography.
