Abstract

The surface and bottom water were sampling in ten stations of the coastal area of Chagwi-Do, Jeju Island, which was repeated 6 times in several different months(September, November, 2004 and March, May, August, and November 2005) in order to examine the physico-chemical characteristics of water. The temperature varied by approximately $16^{\circ}C$, ranging somewhere between 1$12.2^{\circ}C$ and $28.9^{\circ}C$. Specifically, the temperature of bottom water was $13^{\circ}C$, implying the emergence of low temperature water. The salinity ranged from 30.2 to 34.9%o, and the lowest salinity in August may be attributable to the effect of land-based water. N/P ratio, the growth factor of phytoplankton, ranged from 5 to 76, which varied depending on the season and station. The ratio, however, was over 22 on the average, suggesting that phosphate phosphorus is an factor that restricts the growth of phytoplankton. TOC in the concentration of organic carbon ranged between $92.5{\mu}M$ and $438.3{\mu}M$, and the mean was $217{\mu}M$. DOC ranged from $82.5{\mu}M$ to $299.2{\mu}M$, and the mean was $130{\mu}M$. The ratio of DOC/POC was 60% with abundant dissolved organic carbon.

2004년 9월, 11월 그리고 2005년 3월, 5월, 8월, 11월 총 6회에 걸쳐 제주도 차귀도 연안해역 10개 정점에서 표층 수와 저층수를 채수하여 물리, 화학적 수질특성을 조사하였다. 수온은 $12.2{\sim}28.9^{\circ}C$로 변동폭이 $16^{\circ}C$정도였으며 특히 8월에 저층수온이 $13^{\circ}C$로 저온수가 출현하는 양상을 보였다. 염분은 $30.2{\sim}34.9%o$의 범위였으며 8월에 가장 낮은 염분농도를 보인 것은 육상수의 영향으로 보아진다. 식물플랑크톤의 성장인자인 N/P비는 $5{\sim}76$으로 계절별, 정점별로 다양했다. 그러나 평균적으로 22이상을 보이고 있어 인산인 성분이 식물플랑크톤 성장에 제한인자로 나타나고 있었다. 유기탄소 농도는 TOC가 $92.5{\sim}438.3{\mu}M$의 범위였고 평균은 $217{\mu}M$이었으며 DOC는 $82.5{\sim}299.2{\mu}M$의 범위로 평균은 $130{\mu}M$이었다. DOC/POC비는 60%로 용존유기탄소가 많았다.
