In this study, sediment cores from unvegetated tidal flats in the Hampyeong Bay (west coastal wetland) and Dongdae Bay (south coastal wetland) were sampled, the blue carbon stock in the sediments was calculated, and the characteristics of the blue carbon stock were analyzed based on particle size of the sediments. The sediments in the Hampyeong Bay tidal flat had large particle size and low mud content, and the Dongdae bay tidal flat had small particle size and high mud content. The organic carbon content and blue carbon stock in the sediments were higher in the Dongdae tidal flat than in the Hampyeong Bay tidal flat. As a result of the regression function, in both the Hampyeong Bay and Dongdae Bay tidal flats, the sediments had the smaller particle size and higher mud contents the higher the organic carbon content and blue carbon stock. The sediments with smaller particle size had the larger specific surface area, so were feasible to adsorb and store more organic matters.

Seasonal variation in the biomass of eelgrass (Zostera marina) and epiphytic algae in two eelgrass beds (Dongdae and Aenggang Bay) around Namhae Island was investigated throughout 2005. Shoot density and eelgrass biomass differed across months and locations. Peak shoot density occurred from April to August 2005, whereas eelgrass biomass was higher in July and August 2005. Shoot density as well as eelgrass biomass were higher in Dongdae Bay compared to Aenggang Bay. A total of 21 epiphytic algal species (4 Chlorophyta, 2 Phaeophyta, and 15 Rhodophyta) were collected, and dominant species included Polysiphonia japonica, Lomentaria hakodantensis, Symphyocladia latiuscula, Champia sp., and Heterosiphonia japonica. Seasonal variation in both the species composition and biomass of epiphytic algae was substantial: peak epiphytic algal biomass occurred in January and December 2005. We also observed high epiphytic algal biomass in the eelgrass bed of Dongdae Bay. Seasonal changes in the biomass of eelgrass and epiphytic algae were primarily influenced by water temperature, whereas those of the epiphytic algal community were also correlated with eelgrass (substrate) morphology and growth, the life cycle of epiphytic algae, and physical characteristics within eelgrass beds. The spatial variation of eelgrass density and biomass were also limited by sediment characteristics.

Nitrogen dynamics of Seagrass Zostera marina were investigated in both Dongdae Bay and Ojiri from March to August, 2004. All seagrass samples were separated into four fractions such as leaves (new and adult), sheath and rhizome in order to understand temporal variations of nitrogen content in different fractions of Zostera marina. There are temporal variations of shoot production rates and total nitrogen contents in their different fractions at both study areas. Leaf production were almost 4 to 5 fold higher in summer than in winter. The irradiance is the primary factor controlling the leaf production of Zostera marina in both sites although water temperature also influence its productivity. Nitrogen contents of leaves were overall low in summer than in winter, but nitrogen content of rhizome increased during the summer season. In addition, nitrogen contents of new leaves were mostly higher than adult leaves in spite of lower nitrogen content of new and adult leaves in high productivity period. This result suggests that Zostera marina seems to have significant translocation ability of nitrogen in a shoot. The nitrogen content of leaf tissue may reflect nutritional nitrogen availability.

The growth and estimated production of Acanthogobius flavimanus (1.9${\sim}$24.7 cm TL) were investigated in an eelgrass bed and unvegetated tidal flat of Dongdae Bay, Korea from March 2006 to February 2007. Growth in fish total length was expressed by the von Bertalanffy's growth equation as: $L_t=43.238(1-e^{-03138(t+02507)})$. Estimated densities, biomass, daily and annual production, and P/B ratio were higher at eelgrass bed than those of at unvegetated tidal flat. Monthly variation in daily production was large; the peak numbers occurred in November 2006 ($0.0014g/m^2$/day) at eelgrass bed, whereas was $0.002g/m^2$/day in July 2006 at unvegetated tidal flat. The eelgrass bed has been supported to maintain capacity of higher production of A. flavimanus than those of in unvegetated tidal flat.

해초지에서 식물플랑크톤 군집의 계절 변동을 규명하기 위하여 2002년 10월, 2003년 1월, 3월과 6웜에 남해안의 동대만과 앵강만, 그리고 서해안의 승봉도에서 식물플랑크톤의 현존량과 분포, 그리고 환경요인들을 조사하였다. 수온, 염분, 부유물질, chlorophyll a, 해초의 지상부 생물량, 용존무기질소와 용존무기인의 농도는 조사시기에 따라 유의한 차이를 보였다. 해초지에서 출현하는 식물플랑크톤은 총 3문 3과 4목 16과 27속 65종이 동정되었다. 해초지에서는 규조류가 50종, 와편모조류가 14종, 그리고 규질편모조류가 1종 출현하였다. 식물플랑크톤은 Coscinodiscus속과 Thalassiosira속의 분류군들이 조사기간 동안 우점 출현하였으나, Peridinium granii, Eucampia zodiacus와 Pleurosigma elongatum은 계절에 따라 우점하였다. 식물플랑크톤의 현존량은 $0.6{\times}10^3{\sim}21.1{\times}10^3\;cells\;l^{-1}$ 범위로 동대만에서 6월에 가장 낮았으며, 앵강만에서 3월에 가장 높았다. 식물플랑크톤 군집의 종조성과 현존량은 다른 남 서해 연안보다 단순하고 낮게 나타났다. 계절에 따른 용존 무기질소와 무기인의 농도는 규조류 현존량에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

In order to understand food sources-metabolism for the pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas), the stable isotope ratios of carbon (${\delta}^{13}C$) and nitrogen (${\delta}^{15}N$) of its gut, gill, and muscle as well as potential food sources (particulate organic matter, sedimentary organic matter, benthic microalgae, seagrass detritus) were determined in Dongdae Bay. Average ${\delta}^{13}C$ and ${\delta}^{15}N$ values reflect that oysters primarily fed on sedimentary organic matter as opposed to suspended organic matter during summer and winter seasons. However, the relatively enriched $^{15}N$ values of particulate organic matter (>$250{\mu}m$) and sedimentary organic matter in the summer may be due to the photosynthetic incorporation of $^{15}N$-enriched nitrogen (DIN) or the spawning events of bivalves. Specific oyster tissues (gut, gill, and muscle) revealed different metabolic pathways, which were determined through analysis of ${\delta}^{13}C$ and ${\delta}^{15}N$ in each organ. The present results suggest the determination of carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes to be a useful approach in ecological research related to the food sources- metabolism of Crassostrea gigas.

A total of 164 individuals of Hippocampus coronatus were collected from an eelgrass bed in Dongdae Bay, Korea from September 2006 to August 2007. The number of individuals of H. coronatus was higher in September 2006. The size of H. coronatus ranged from 2.4 to 9.3cm in height (Ht), and most of individuals were small size below 5cm (Ht). H. coronatus was a carnivore which consumed mainly gammarid amphipods and copepods. Its diets also included a small amount ofmysids, ostracods, brachiopods, caprellid amphipods, bathynellaceas, isopods, tanaids, and ascothoracids. The diets of H. coronatus underwent size-related changes; smaller individuals consumed copepods, while larger individuals ate gammarid amphipods and mysids. The dietary breadth index of H. coronatus was increased with increasing of their size.

2005년 1월부터 2005년 12월까지 동대만의 잘피밭에서 채집된 돌팍망둑의 식성을 조사하였다. 돌팍망둑의 주요 먹이는 어류 및 새우류였으며, 그 외, 곤쟁이류, 단각류 (옆새우류 및 카프렐라류), 요각류, 두족류, 갯지렁이류 및 게류등이 소량 섭식되었다. 돌팍망둑은 초기에는 요각류와 단각류를 많이 섭식하였으나, 성장함에 따라 어류와 새우류의 섭식율이 점차 증가하였다. 돌팍망둑은 계절에 관계없이 새우류 및 어류를 주로 섭식하였다. 체장별 및 계절별 dietary breadth는 전체적으로 낮게 나타났다.

In this study, sediment cores were sampled from tidal flats (six sites) in the west and south coastal wetlands, the blue carbon stock in the tidal flat sediments was calculated, and the blue carbon stock characteristics and influencing factors were analyzed. The sediment particle size of the west coastal tidal flats was larger than that of the south coastal tidal flats, and the organic carbon content in the south coastal tidal flats was more than twice that of the west coastal tidal flats. Blue carbon stock per unit area was 28.4~36.8 Mg/ha on the west coastal tidal flats and 69.8~89.8 Mg/ha on the south coastal tidal flats, which was more than twice higher in the south coastal tidal flats than in the west coastal tidal flats. The total amount of blue carbon stock in the tidal flats was the highest in Suncheon Bay tidal flats at 153,626 Mg, and followed by Gomso Bay tidal flats at 141,750 Mg, Hampyeong Bay tidal flats at 58,420 Mg, Dongdae Bay tidal flats at 44,900 Mg, Cheonsu Bay tidal flats at 36,880 Mg, and Jinhae Bay tidal flats at 26,205 Mg. Blue carbon stock per unit area was higher in the south coastal tidal flats, but the total amount of blue carbon stock in the tidal flats was higher in the west coast. The slope of the regression function of blue carbon stock with respect to the organic carbon content in the tidal flat sediments was estimated to be about 0.05 to 0.07, and the slope of the regression function was higher in the west coastal tidal flats than in the south coastal tidal flats.
