Abstract

Since the functional importance of marine phytoplankton was firstly advocated from early 1880s massive data on the species composition and abundance were produced by classical microscopic observation and the advanced auto-imaging technologies. Recently, pigment composition resulted from direct chemical analysis of phytoplankton samples or indirect remote sensing could be used for the group-specific quantification, which leads us to more diversified data production methods and for more improved spatiotemporal accessibilities to the target data-gathering points. In quite a few cases of many long-term marine ecosystem monitoring programs the phytoplankton species composition and abundance was included as a basic monitoring item. The phytoplankton data could be utilized as a crucial evidence for the long-term change in phytoplankton community structure and ecological functioning at the monitoring stations. Usability of the phytoplankton data sometimes is restricted by the differences in data producers throughout the whole monitoring period. Methods for sample treatments, analyses, and species identification of the phytoplankton species could be inconsistent among the different data producers and the monitoring years. In-depth study to determine the precise quantitative values of the phytoplankton species composition and abundance might be begun by Victor Hensen in late 1880s. International discussion on the quality assurance of the marine phytoplankton data began in 1969 by the SCOR Working Group 33 of ICSU. Final report of the Working group in 1974 (UNESCO Technical Papers in Marine Science 18) was later revised and published as the UNESCO Monographs on oceanographic methodology 6. The BEQUALM project, the former body of IPI (International Phytoplankton Intercomparison) for marine phytoplankton data QA/QC under ISO standard, was initiated in late 1990. The IPI is promoting international collaboration for all the participating countries to apply the QA/QC standard established from the 20 years long experience and practices. In Korea, however, such a QA/QC standard for marine phytoplankton species composition and abundance data is not well established by law, whereas that for marine chemical data from measurements and analysis has been already set up and managed. The first priority might be to establish a QA/QC standard system for species composition and abundance data of marine phytoplankton, then to be extended to other functional groups at the higher consumer level of marine food webs.

1880년대에 들어서서 해양 식물플랑크톤의 기능적 중요성이 처음 주창된 이래, 전통적인 형태 관찰법 및 진보된 형태 자동분석 기술을 기반으로 하여 다량의 식물플랑크톤 종별 정량자료가 생산되었다. 최근에는 해수시료 중의 색소를 직접 분석하거나 원격탐사 자료를 해석하여 색소특성에 따른 분류군별 정량자료를 생산함으로써, 자료생산 방법이 점점 다양해지고 자료 확보 대상 정점에 대한 시공간적 접근성도 크게 개선되고 있다. 장기적인 해양생태계 모니터링에서 식물플랑크톤의 종별 정량자료가 생산된 경우도 적지 않아, 각각의 해역에서 중장기적인 해양 식물플랑크톤의 구조와 기능의 변동에 대한 중요한 증거로 활용될 수 있다. 그러나 모니터링 기간 전체에 걸친 연대별 자료 생산자 간의 차이로 인해 이러한 자료의 활용성이 제한될 수 있는데, 시료 처리 및 분석법, 종의 확인 및 분류, 분석이 완료된 시료의 관리 등의 다양한 측면에서 연대별 생산자 간의 편차가 적지 않다. 해양 식물플랑크톤의 종별 정량자료 값을 정확하게 구하기 위한 심도있는 연구는 1880년대 후반 Victor Hensen이 시작한 것으로 평가된다. 정확도를 포함한 해양 식물플랑크톤 자료의 정도 관리에 관한 국제적인 논의는 ICSU의 SCOR Working Group 33을 중심으로 1969년에 시작되었다. 첫 결실로 UNESCO 해양과학기술보고서 제18편이 1974년 출판되었는데, 이는 UNESCO의 해양학 방법론의 전문연구서적 제6편인 Phytoplankton Manual 출판의 실마리였다. 1990년대 말에는 ISO 기준에 따른 해양 식물플랑크톤 종별 정량자료의 정도관리를 달성하여, 국제적인 자료의 상호비교 및 교정을 가능하게 하려는 수행기구인 IPI (International Phytoplankton Intercomparison)의 전신인 BEQUALM 사업이 유럽에서 본격 출범하였다. IPI는 지난 20여 년간의 경험과 실적을 바탕으로 정도관리 기준을 모든 나라에서 적용할 수 있도록 국제협력을 강화해 나가고 있다. 우리나라의 해양화학 분야 측정자료의 정도관리 체계와 내용이 잘 정립된 데 비하여, 해양생물의 종별 정량자료에 대한 본격적인 정도관리 체계는 아직 법제화 단계에 이르지 못하고 있다. 우선, 해양생태계의 기초 생산자인 식물플랑크톤의 종별 정량자료에 대한 정도관리 체계를 확립하고, 다양한 기능생물군으로 이를 확장해 나갈 필요가 있다.
