Abstract

Abundance of autotrophic picoplankton (APP) and their contribution to phytoplankton biomass were assessed in seven brackish lagoons and five freshwater reservoirs in the summer season. Phycocyanin-rich picocyanobacteria dominated APP in lagoons, while phycoerythrin-rich picocyanobacteria dominated APP in freshwater reservoirs. The cell density of APP ranged from $3.6{\times}10^3$ to $5.0{\times}10^6\;cells/ml$ (median $2.5{\times}10^5$) in brackish lagoons and from $3.8{\times}10^4$ to $3.6{\times}10^5\;cells/ml$ (mdian $1.3{\times}10^5$) in reservoirs. Carbon biomass ranged from 1.0 to $1,385.0\;{\mu}gC/L$ in lagoons and from 15.3 to $128.2\;{\mu}gC/L$ in reservoirs. APP cell density in Lake Kyungpo was over $10^6\;cells/ml$in all three surveys, which is one of the highest values recorded in all over the world. During the thermal stratification in Lake Soyang, the maximum abundance of APP and their maximum contribution to phytoplankton biomass were observed near the thermocline. This study showed that APP sometimes can contribute significantly to phytoplankton biomass both in lagoons and reservoirs with the range from 0.1 to 85.0%. APP which have been overlooked in the past studies appears to be important primary producers in Korean lake ecosystem.

1999년 여름동안 동해안의 7개 석호와, 내륙의 5개 인공호를 대상으로 autotrophic picoplankton (APP)의풍부도와 총 식물플랑크톤 생물량에 대한 기여도를 평가하였다. 석호에서는 부영양화가 심한 호수에서 주로 나타나는 phycocyanin-rich APP가 우점한 반면 인공호에서는 주로 phycoerythrin-rich APP가 우점하였다. 동해안 석호에서 APP의 세포밀도와 생물량은 각각 $3.6{\times}10^3{\sim} 5.0{\times}10^6\;cells/ml$와 $1.0{\sim}1,385.0\;{\mu}gC/L$의 범위를 나타냈고 인공호에서는 각각 $3.8{\times}10^4{\sim}3.6{\times}10^5\;cells/ml$와 $15.3{\sim}128.2\;{\mu}gC/L$의 범위로 동해안석호에서 더 높은 APP의 풍부도를 나타냈다. 특히 경포호에서는 3회조사 모두 $10^6\;cells/ml$이상의 높은 세포밀도를 보였는데 이는 세계적으로 보고된 가장 높은 밀도 수준이다. 소양호에서 APP의 수직분포를 조사한 결과 수온약층에서 최대 세포밀도를 나타냈는데 이는 APP가 낮은 광도에서도 성장이 가능하며 심층의 높은 영양염류를 이용할 수 있었기 때문으로 사료된다. APP세포밀도는TN/TP비와 음의 상관관계,TP와는 양의 상관관계를 나타내어 APP의 풍부도가 호수의 부영양화와 함께 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 총 식물플랑크톤 생물량에 대한 APP의 기여도는 $0.1{\sim}85.0%$로 호수간의 큰 차이를 보였다. 본 연구결과는 지금까지 식물플랑크톤 연구에서 소외되어져 왔던 APP가 호수 생태계의 일차생산자로써 중요한 부분을 차지하고 있음을 보여주고 있다.
