Asteroid specimens of the genus Diplopteraster were collected by trawling nets at a depth of 93 m on 05 November 2016 from the Korea Strait ($33^{\circ}41^{\prime}N$, $127^{\circ}26^{\prime}E$). The specimens were identified as Diplopteraster multipes(M. Sars, 1866), which belongs to the family Pterasteridae, order Velatida. This species is similar to other Diplopteraster species in its pentagonal stellate shape, but is distinguished by having each paxilla composed of a protruded spine, more than eight spiracles, and regularly reticulated muscular bands. It is not commonly found in shallow water. This is the first report of the genus Diplopteraster and D. multipes in Korea.

Hydrographic surveys were carried out four times in the western channel of the Korea Strait in March and August 2003 and in June and November 2004. The bottom cold water, which was lower than $10^{\circ}C$, appeared in the channel trough except in March 2003. It flowed southwestward along the shelf of Korean coasts in August 2003 and in November 2004. The width and the maximum speed of the intrusion current were about 20 km and approximately $25\;cm\;s^{-1}$, respectively, off Ulsan, Korea. The volume transport of the bottom cold water was estimated 0.019 Sv ($Sv{\equiv}10^6\;m^3\;s^{-1}$) in August 2003 and 0.026 Sv in November 2004.

The Korea Strait comprises a continental shelf in a shallow sea that experienced glacio-eustastic sea-level changes during the Quaternary period. A long core of 76.6 m in length was acquired at the South Sea Drilling Project site (SSDP-101; 34°19.666'E and 128°16.335'N) with a 60 m water deep. The uppermost massive sand beds were interpreted as sandy sediments of the nearshore marine sand ridge in the shallow sea during the transgression of sea level, whereas the lower parts of alternating sandy and muddy beds were interpreted as deposits in marsh, estuary, and tidal flat environments. A three-layered geoacoustic model was reconstructed for the sedimentary succession in the high-resolution seismic profile based on a 140-grain size and sediment type of core SSDP-101. For the actual underwater simulation and experiments, the in-situ P-wave speeds were calculated using the sound speed ratio of the Hamilton method.

The cold water mass around the southeast coast of the Korean Peninsula is analyzed by using CSK data from 1966 through 1970. It is shown that this water mass flows down from the region offshore of Jukbyun to the area of Youngil Bay along the 100meter contour line of bottom topography. In ordinary summer conditions when the current velocity in the Korea Strait is usually above about 50cm/sec and the wind direction is southwest, the cold water ascends to the surface and makes the surface temperature gradient large, unless disturbed by a tropical cyclon. The bottom water of the Korea Strait is formed by the stratification after the Tsushima intermediate water and the Japan Sea intermediate water have been mixed. In winter the Tsushima intermediate water with high salinity sinks rapidly around the inlet of the Japan Sea and prevents the Japan Sea intemediate water from entering the Korea Strait.

살갗살이과(Lichomolgidae)에 속하며 원기재 이후 그 기록이 매우 드물었던 요각류 2종 Lichomolgus inflatus Tanaka와 Philoconcha paphiae Yamaguti가 남해도에서 떡조개 (Dosinorbis japonicus)로부터 발견되어 재기재하였다. Lichomolgus inflatus는 L. chamarum Humes와 매우 유사하나 이마돌기와 생식이중절의 특징으로 서로를 구별할 수 있다. Philoconcha paphiae는 매우 변이가 심한 다리 강모식을 가지는 것이 발견되었다. 이 두 종에 대한 본 기록은 일본 외의 지역에서는 처음이다.

Sparker profiles and sediment cores collected from the Korea Strait show a distinct pattern of stacked prograding wedges consisting of three distinct units. These wedges are interpreted as the lowstand deposits formed during glacioeustatic sea-level lowstands. Repeated sea-level falls during late Pleistocene with high sediment discharge from the paleo-Nakdong River system resulted in the formation of thick lowstand wedges.

1. 제주해협에서는 6월에 가장 낮은 생물량 분포를 나타내었고, 가을철(11월)에 가장 높은 생물량 분포를 보이면서 높은 2차 생산력을 보이는 것으로 사료된다. 2. 해황 및 습중량과의 관계에서 가장 높은 분포를 나타내는 정점은 각각 정점 14와 11로 그 출현위치는 해협의 중앙부분이고, 한국남해연안역 및 제주도 북부연안역에는 다소 낮은 생물량분포를 보이고 있으며, 생물량 분포가 높게 나타나는 해역의 특징은 patch의 형태로 분포하였다 반면 한국남해연안역에 비하여 제주도 북부연안역에높은 생물량 분포를 나타냄으로써 제주해협에서의 갈치어장 형성위치와 생물량 분포와의 관계가 밀접하게 나타날 것으로 판단된다. 그리고, 가을 의 해황 특성인 서로 다른 이질수괴의 경계역인 안상부 해황의 중심에 높은 생물량을 나타냈다. 3. 제주해협에서 patch의 형태로 생물량 분포가 높게 나타나는 해역의 외측에 좋은 갈치어장이 형성되었다.

We investigated the short-term and local changes in the thermohaline front in the Jeju Strait, Korea, which is usually formed during winter and spring. To do so, we compared Real-Time Observation System by Ferryboat (RTOSF) data with wind data and routinely collected oceanographic data. During February and April 2007, a thermohaline front formed in the Jeju Strait around the 13-$14^{\circ}C$ isotherms and 33.0-33.5 isohalines. The thermohaline was clearly weakened and began moving southward in mid-March. The variations in the surface temperature and salinity showed a continuous north-south oscillation of the thermohaline front with a period of 3-10 days. The speed of the short-term and local fluctuation of thermohaline front was about 5-30 cm/s. We confirmed these findings by examining the variation in the maximum temperature gradient and $14^{\circ}C$ isotherm during the study period. These short-term and local changes had not been previously detected using serial oceanographic and satellite data. Analysis of local wind data revealed a northerly wind fluctuation with a period of 3-10 days, which was clearly related to the short-term and local changes in the thermohaline front. The short-term and local changes of the thermohaline front in the Jeju Strait originated from local changes in the winter monsoon in this area.

A new species of ianirid isopod from a subtidal bottom in the Korea Strait is described and illustrated under the name of Juniralata koreuensis. This species is characterized by the cephalon lacking a distinct rostrum and prominent antero-lateral expansions, the pleotelson lacking postero-lateral projections, and the male pleopod 1 having a nipple-shaped lobe on lateral apex.
