Abstract

It is selected seven sites for marine algal flora and community structure and investigated seasonally from December 2008 to November 2009 in Gogunsan Islands, the west coast of Korea. A total of 58 species including 10 green, 16 brown and 32 red algae were collected and identified. Among these species, 11 species were found throughout the year. Annual mean biomass in dry weight were 213.8 g $m^{-2}$ at Sinsido 1, 143.1 g $m^{-2}$ at Sinsido 2, 133.3 g $m^{-2}$ at Sinsido 3, 164.0 g $m^{-2}$ at Munyeodo, 116.9 g $m^{-2}$ at Seonyudo, and 145.1 g $m^{-2}$ at Jangjado. Maximum biomass was recorded in Sinsido 1, and minimum mean biomass was Sinsido 4. The dominant species based on biomass were Sargassum thunbergii, Ulva pertusa, Sargassum fusiforme and Corallina pilulifera. S. thunbergii was the representative alga occurred at all seasons. The flora investigated could be classified into six functional groups such as coarsely branched form (46.6%), filamentous form (27.6%), sheet form (17.2%), thick leathery form (3.4%), jointed calcareous form (3.4%) and crustose form (1.7%). The R/P, C/P and (R+C)/P value reflecting flora characteristics were 0.33~0.75, 1.11~2.50, 1.47~3.25, respectively. Diversity index (H') and dominance index (DI) indicated that stability of seaweed community of Gogunsan Islands was unstable and environmental conditions were bad. According to multidimensional scaling (MDS) and cluster analysis, Gogunsan Islands were divided into three distinct groups. The first group was Sinsido 2, Sinsido 3, Seonyudo and Muyeodo and the second group comprised Sinsido 1 and Jangjado and the other was Sinsido 4 due to meaningful difference in similarity.

고군산군도의 해조상 및 군집구조를 파악하기 위해 7개 정점을 선정하여 2008년 12월부터 2009년 11월까지 계절별 조사를 실시하였다. 고군산군도에서 출현한 해조류는 총 58종으로, 녹조식물 10종, 갈조식물 16종, 홍조식물 32종이 채집 동정되었으며, 그 중 11종은 연중 출현하였다. 평균 생물량은 Sinsido 1 정점에서 213.8 g $m^{-2}$, Sinsido 2 정점에서 143.1 g $m^{-2}$, Sinsido 3 정점에서 133.3 g $m^{-2}$, Munyeodo 정점에서 164.0 g $m^{-2}$, Seonyudo 정점에서 116.9 g $m^{-2}$, Jangjado 정점에서 145.1 g $m^{-2}$으로 Sinsido 1 정점에서 가장 높은 생물량을 보였으며, Sinsido 4 정점에서 최저 생물량을 나타냈다. 생물량에서 우점종은 지충이(Sargassum thunbergii), 구멍갈파래(Ulva pertusa), 톳(Sargassum fusiforme) 및 작은구슬산호말(Corallina pilulifera)이었으며, 지충이는 전 계절에 걸쳐 가장 높은 생물량을 보여 이 지역 대표종으로 확인되었다. 이 지역의 6개 기능형군은 성긴분기형(46.6%), 사상형(27.6%), 엽상형(17.2%), 다육질형(3.4%), 유절산호말형(3.4%), 각상형(1.7%)군으로 구분되었다. 해조류의 지역적 특성의 기준으로 이용되는 C/P, R/P 그리고 (R+C)/P값은 각각 0.33~0.75, 1.11~2.50, 1.47~3.25이었다. 종다양도지수(H')와 우점도지수(DI)로 본 고군산군도의 해조군집 안정도는 '불안정'하고 환경상태는 '나쁜것'으로 나타났다. MDS와 군집분석 결과, Sinsido 2, Sinsido 3, Seonyudo, Munyeodo로 이루어진 그룹, Sinsido 1, Jangjado로 이루어진 그룹, 그리고 Sinsido 4로 이루어진 총 3개의 군집으로 분류되었으며, 암반이 적어 해조류가 빈약하였던 Sinsido 4는 다른 정점과 유사도에서 차이를 나타냈다.
