Two genera of the Rhodymeniales, Halopeltis and Leptofauchea, are here reported for the first time from the Hawaiian Islands and represent the deepest records for both genera. Molecular phylogenetic analyses of cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI), rbcL, and large subunit ribosomal DNA (LSU) sequences for Hawaiian specimens of Leptofauchea revealed one well-supported clade of Hawaiian specimens and three additional lineages. One of these clades is described here as Leptofauchea huawelau sp. nov., and is thus far known only from mesophotic depths at Penguin Bank in the Main Hawaiian Islands. L. huawelau sp. nov. is up to 21 cm, and is the largest known species. An additional lineage identified in the LSU and rbcL analyses corresponds to the recently described L. lucida from Western Australia, and is a new record for Hawai'i. Hawaiian Halopeltis formed a well-supported clade along with H. adnata from Korea, the recently described H. tanakae from mesophotic depths in Japan, and H. willisii from North Carolina, and is here described as Halopeltis nuahilihilia sp. nov. H. nuahilihilia sp. nov. has a distinctive morphology of narrow vegetative axes that harbor constrictions along their length. The current distribution of H. nuahilihilia includes mesophotic depths around W. Maui, W. Moloka'i, and the island of Hawai'i in the Main Hawaiian Islands. Few reproductive characters were observed because of the small number of specimens available; however, both species are distinct based on phylogeny and morphology. These descriptions further emphasize the Hawaiian mesophotic zone as a location harboring many undescribed species of marine macroalgae.

경기육괴의 북서부에 위치한 영흥도-선재도-대부도는 지구조적 중요성에도 불구하고 지질 및 지질연대 자료가 거의 없는 지역이다. 우리는 이 지역에 산출하는 변성퇴적암의 암상과 쇄설성 저어콘의 U-Pb 연대를 밝히는 연구를 수행하였다. 연구 지역의 변성퇴적암은 대부분 규암-변성사암 및 규암과 편암의 호층대로 이루어져 있으며, 규암 역을 포함하는 석회질 역질 사암, 석회질 편암 그리고 변성이질암이 소규모로 산출한다. 변성이질암에는 석류석 반상변정이 두드러지게 산출하며, 변성이질암 내의 석영맥에서는 남정석 또는 홍주석이 백운모와 함께 산출한다. 두개의 변성사암 시료에서 분석한 쇄설성 저어콘들은 신시생대(~2.5 Ga), 고원생대(~2.0-1.5 Ga), 신원생대(~1.1-0.7 Ga), 초기 고생대(~560-400Ma) 연대가 우세하게 분포하며, 가장 젊은 연령의 군집은 ~420 Ma에서 나타난다. 이러한 결과는 분석된 변성사암이 실루리아기 이후, 아마도 데본기에 퇴적되었음을 시사하며, 태안층에서 보고된 쇄설성 저어콘의 연령분포와 유사하다. 이와 함께 임진강대 변성퇴적암에서도 유사한 쇄설성 저어콘의 연령분포와 바로비안형 변성상이 보고되었다. 따라서, 경기육괴 서부에 산출하는 태안층은 임진강대의 서남 연장부에 해당될 것으로 판단된다.

제주해협내에 설정한 3개의 남북 단면상에 배열한 13개의 관측정점과 기타 4개의 제주항 부근의 연안정점에서 $1986\~1989$년까지 실시한 해류계에 의한 해류조사결과와 $1981\~1987$년 사이에 실시된 해류판 추적조사, 일반해양관측 등에 의하여 얻어진 자료들을 종합적으로 분석하여 정리한 제주해협의 유황을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 제주해협내에는 주로 동$\~$북동류의 항류가 있어, 해협 서쪽 입구의 전단면을 통하여 해협내로 유입된 해수가 동쪽 입구의 전단면을 통하여 유출되고 있으며, 이 항류의 유속은 10m층에서 $5.2cm/sec\~30cm/sec$이고, 중${\cdot}$저층은 $1.3\~24cm/sec$로 대체로 해협의 심소 및 제주도 북측에 강류대가 있고, 추자도 및 보길도 부근의 연안 천소에 악한 항류가 있다. 2. 제주해협 서쪽 입구의 전단면에서 실측한 항류의 하계 평균유속은 6.93cm/sec로, 이것을 기초로 계산한 이 단면의 해수수송량은 $0.384\times10^6\;m^3/sec(Sv)$이며, 단면의 항류분포와 지형류 유속 분포간에는 많은 차를 보였다. 3. 추자도 북서쪽의 전선역에서는 밀물 때는 북향류에 의해 고온${\cdot}$고염분의 외해수가 5mile정도 연안역으로 이동 하지만, 썰물 때는 북상 거리만큼 다시 남하하지 않고 동$\~$남동향류 때문에, 연안수와 혼합하면서 전선북쪽의 연안역으로 이동하므로, 결과적으로 추자도 북서해역은 제주도 서방해역으로 부터 북상해온 외해수가 한국남해연안수내로 유입하는 창구가 되며, 이것을 일으키는 주된 작용은 항류가 아닌 조류이다.

랑카위 군도는 말레이 반도 서부해안 타일랜드-말레이시아 국경 부근 30 km 서쪽 해상에 위치하고 있으며, 약 $479km^2$에 걸쳐 99(+5)개의 섬으로 구성되어 있다. 동식물에서의 생물학적 다양성과 함께 랑카위 군도는 암석의 다양성, 풍광의 다양성 및 화석의 다양성을 포함하는 지질학적 다양성도 보여준다. 이러한 생물학적 다양성과 지질학적 다양성은 랑카위 군도를 동남아시아의 새롭게 떠오르는 생태관광 중심지로 이끌었으며, 결과로 2007년 7월 1일 유네스코에 의해 동남아시아 최초의 세계지질공원으로 지정되었다. 오늘날의 랑카위 지질공원의 지질학적 다양성은 고생대 동안의 다양한 퇴적계와 고환경 하에서의 오랜 퇴적사와 함께 중생대 초까지 일어났던 지구조 및 마그마 활동에 이어 현재의 아름다운 풍광으로 침식시킨 지표작용의 결과이다. 랑카위 지질공원에 노출되어 있는 고생대 퇴적층은 하부로부터 캠브리아기의 Machinchang층, 오오도비스-데본기 초기의 Setul층, 데본기 후기-석탄기의 Singa층 및 페름기의 Chuping층을 포함하는 4개의 층으로 세분된다. 이러한 퇴적층은 섬의 동쪽으로 갈수록 젊어지나, 섬의 동부에서 Kisap 트러스트에 의해 단절되어진다. 상부가 서쪽으로 이동되어진 키삽 트러스트는 시대가 오래된 Setul층(그리고 아마도 Machinchang층과 함께)을 동쪽으로부터 이동시켜 섬의 중앙 축 부군에서 시대가 젊은 Chuping층 또는 Singa층 상위에 올려놓았다. 트라이아스기 Gunnung Raya 화강암은 고생대 퇴적층들을 관입하여 부분적으로 다양한 접촉 변성작용을 일으켜 지역적으로 주석을 함유하는 광상을 형성시켰다. 트라이아스기 이후의 지질역사는 랑카위 군도에서는 잘 알려져 있지 않고 있어 쥬라기 초기 이후 랑카위 군도의 암석들은 열대성 풍화의 영향을 받아왔으며 그 영향은 현재까지 지속되고 있다. 이러한 열대성 풍화 현상은 오늘날의 랑카위 군도의 아름다은 풍광을 만들어 내는데 매우 중요한 역할을 하였다.

Cochlodinium polykrikoides bloom in 1995 was studied with a focus on an unusual coastal environment in the South Sea of Korea. Data on temperature, salinity, and zooplankton biomass during 1965-1998 and nutrients during 1990-1998 and chlorophyll-a during 1995-1998 were used in this study. These data were obtained from the serial oceanographic observations in Korean waters carried out by the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute. In 1995 the C. polykrikoides bloom began in the coastal area around Narodo Island in August and consequently occurred to the whole coastal area of the South and East Seas of Korea. During June-October 1995, the coastal environment was unusual compared with the long-term means during 1965-1998. In June 1995, sea surface temperature was 1-2$^{\circ}C$ warmer than in other years in all coastal areas, while salinity was high only to the east of Jeju Island. In August 1995, a strong coastal front appeared inshore of a line between Jeju and Tsushima Islands. In particular, a strong coastal front which showed the characteristics of upwelling front occurred in the coastal area around Narodo and Sorido Islands, not only because of a strong intrusion of the Tsushima Warm Current but also because of the upwelling of cold bottom water. Salinity was low in the neighboring waters of western side of Jeju Island. Nutrients and chlorophyll-a were high in the inshore area between Narodo and Sorido Islands in 1995 in contrast with the other years and areas. Zooplankton showed an unusually high abundance in the coastal area in October 1995. We conclude that the Tsushima Warm Current strongly influenced the South Sea of Korea in 1995 and created strong upwelling front bordering cold upwelled water in the coastal area around Narodo and Sorido Islands. It leads us that these physical structures introduce the favorable environment for the development of C. polykrikoides blooms. We suggest that C. polykrikoides has a bio-physical tolerance of high shear and stress and prefers frontal and upwelling relaxed areas as its habitat. We also find that nutrients were not supplied to the coastal area from the offshore where a low salinity water mass with high nutrients appeared around Jeju Island. Because the strong upwelling front protect the reach of offshore low saline water mass. The main source of nutrients was the upwelled water mass in the coastal area of Wando-Narodo-Sorido.

The relatively tranquil area within the Gogunsan Archipelago was for the first time investigated preliminarily with respect to modern sedimentological processes in association with the emplacement of the Saemangeum Dyke. Basic sedimentological observations, bathymetry and surface sediments were performed twice during 2006-2008 to compare the results and elaborate changes during that period of time. In addition, sediment dynamical observations were carried out with latest measuring equipment along two transects crossing the entrances of the archipelago, including 12-hour onboard measurements of current, suspended sediments, temperature, and salinity. This dataset was used to reveal hydrodynamic characteristics for spring season April-May and to estimate the direction and relative magnitude of the net flux of suspended sediments. There occurred three depositional areas (A to C) within the archipelago, where sediment texture was also changed. In area A, around Yami Island and the dyke, and area B, in the center of the archipelago, surface sediments became coarsened over the two-year period; sand content increased 5% at the expense of silt content in the former, whereas silt content increased 3% at the expense of clay content in the latter. By comparison, area C in the western entrance of the archipelago shows a textural trend of fining with more silt and clay (combined increase of 5%) at the expense of sand content. The accumulation of sediments in areas A and B is attributable to the sand and silt resuspended from the seabed sediments off sector 4 of the dyke during the winter. The origin of the fine materials depositing on area C is uncertain at present, although suspended sediments moving offshore around the archipelago may be one of the most likely candidates for the source. The temperature of seawater increased rapidly from $9-10^{\circ}C$ in April to $14-16^{\circ}C$ in May, whereas salinity remained more or less constant at 31-32%o during the two months. Both of these parameters showed little variations with depth through a tidal cycle, suggesting good mixing of seawater without any help of significant waves. The consistency of salinity during a tidal cycle also indicates no insignificant effects of freshwater from the rivers Mangyung and Donjin emitting through the opening gap near Sinsi Island. The suspended sediment concentrations were higher at the entrance between Sunyu and Sinsi islands than at the entrance between Hoenggyong and Sinsi islands, ranging from 20 and 30 mg/l and from 5 and 15 mg/l, respectively at the sea surface. Although tidal currents were variable across a transect between Sunyu and Sinsi islands, the currents across the entrance between Hoenggyong and Sinsi islands flowed consistently in the same direction all over the transect during a tidal cycle. The estimation of net flux of suspended sediments indicates that suspended sediments are transferred to the Gogunsan Archipelago mainly through a relatively deep trough adjacent to Sinsi Island toward the shallow area around Yami Island and the dyke.

본 연구는 항공사진을 이용하여 낙동강 하구 울타리 섬의 장기간의 지형 변화를 제시한다. 수치사진측량을 이용하여 모자이크 항공사진을 구축하고 이로부터 1975년부터 2001년까지 6회의 해안선 자료를 산출한다. GIS에 근거한 수치해안선분석시스템을 이용하여 EPR(End Point Rate), JKR(Jackknife Rate) 및 LRR(Linear Regression Rate)와 같은 3 종류의 해안선 변화율을 산정한다. 신자도와 도요등에서 매우 현격한 변화가 나타났다. 신자도의 서쪽 부분은 바다 쪽으로 전진한 반면 동쪽 부분은 육지 쪽으로 후퇴하였으며, 이 결과 섬이 반시계 방향으로 회전한 것처럼 보인다. 양쪽 끝 부분에서 해안선 변화율은 20 m/yr에 달한다. 도요등은 1993년에 백합등 전면에 새롭게 출현하였으며 40 m/yr의 해안선 변화율로 전진하였다. 해안선 변화율은 울타리 섬 내에서뿐만 아니라 울타리 섬 간에도 차이가 있으며, 동쪽으로 가면서 증가하는 경향을 보인다. 이러한 해안선 변화율의 공간적인 변동성을 이해하기 위해서는 연안개발이 수리역학과 퇴적작용에 미치는 영향을 상세히 조사할 필요가 있다.

Zooplankton community was surveyed during the Seventh Korea Antarctic Research Program, from 28 December 1993 to 11 January 1994. Zooplankton samples were collected at 40 stations from the waters around the South Shetland Islands with a Bongo net and a MOCNESS. A total of 14 taxa of zooplankton were identified. Zooplankton abundances varied at each station as well as with the sampling gears. Zooplankton abundances were higher in the Western Weddell Sea than those in the Bransfield strait. Zooplankton collected with MOCNESS showed a different vertical distribution depending on its depths at selected stations. Copepods were the major components of zooplankton contributing 72.84% (mesh size $333{\mu}m$) and 68.36% (mesh size $505{\mu}m$) of total zooplankton abundance from the Bongo samples. Salps were the second most abundant group comprising 7.92% $(333{\mu}m)$ and 11.99% $(505{\mu}m)$ of total zooplankton abundance. Euphausiids, chaetognaths, polychaetes, pteropods and ostracods occurred more than 1% of total zooplankton. Copepods were not abundant at stations salps and euphausiids were dominant. Salpa thompsoni, Euphausia superba, Calanoides acutus, Metridia gerlachei and Calanus propinquus were dominant depending on the stations. The hierarchical UPGMA cluster analysis of dissimilarities between sampling stations is displayed with clusters identified similar habitats. Copepods rarely appeared in the clusters 4 and 5, and they appeared a ffw in the cluster 3 (or salps were numerous), while copepods were abundant in the clusters 1 and 2. As in the results of cluster analysis, the distributions of dominant taxa have a well identified correspondence to the geological positions included physical factors.

Human toxocariasis is a helminthozoonosis due to the migration of Toxocara species larvae through human organism. Humans become infected by ingesting either embryonated eggs from soil (geophagia, pica), dirty hands or raw vegetables, or larvae from undercooked giblets. The diagnosis relies upon sensitive immunological methods (ELISA or western-blot) which use Toxocara excretory-secretory antigens . Seroprevalence is high in developed countries, especially in rural areas, and also in some tropical islands. The clinical spectrum of the disease comprises four syndromes, namely visceral larva migrans, ocular larva migrans, and the more recently recognized "common" (in adults) and "covert"(in children) pictures. Therapy of ocular toxocariasis is primarily based upon corticosteroids use, when visceral larva migrans and few cases of common or covert toxocariasis can be treated by anthelmintics whose the most efficient appeared to be diethylcarbamazine. When diagnosed , all of these syndromes require thorough prevention of recontamination (especially by deworming pets) and sanitary education.
