We investigated species composition and variation of benthic marine algae between 2003 and 2006 at Dokdo on the East Sea. The total number of benthic algae species identified was 96, which included 15 Chlorophyta, 30 Phaeophyta, 50 Rhodophyta and 1 Spermatophyta species. The representative species in this study were Ulva pertusa, Caulerpa okamurae, Codium adhaerens, C. frgile, Undaria pinnatifida, Ecklonia cava, Eisenia bicyclis, Dictyopteris undulata, Padina arborescens, Sargassum horneri, Hildenbrandtia rubra, Lithophyllum okamurae, Amphiroa dilatata, Corallina officinalis, C. pilulifera, Prionitis cornea, Grateloupia elliptica, Plocamium telgairiae, Chondrus ocellatus, Chondracanthus intermedia, Chondria crassicaulis, Polysiphonia morrowii, Melobesioidean algae and Phyllospadix sp. Wet weight biomass according to various depths ranged between 1,094.8 to $2,595.3\;g\;m^{-2}$ during the study period. Mean biomass at the investigated sites was greater in the 15m depth range than in the 5 and 10m depths. Vertical distribution was characterized by Ulva intestinalis, U. linza, Endarachne binghamiae, Bangia atropurpurea, Gloiopeltis furcata and Chondria crassicaulis at intertidal zone, Amphiroa dilatata, Corallina pilulifera, Gelidium amansii, Eisenia bicyclis and Ecklonia cava at 2m depth, Ecklonia cava, Eisenia bicyclis, Padina arborescens, Undaria pinnatifida and Sargasum horneri at 5m depth, Ecklonia cava, Sargassum horneri and Padina arborescens at 10m depth, Ecklonia cava, Myagropsis myagroides, Padina arborescens and Sargassum horneri at 15m depth. The R/P, C/P and (R+C)/P value were 1.67, 0.50 and 2.17, respectively.

우리나라 동해안 중부의 축산항 지역에서 2007년 7월부터 2009년 5월까지 계절별로 조간대와 조하대 해조류의 종조성과 군집구조를 조사하였다. 2년에 걸친 조사를 통해 밝혀진 해조류는 총 98종(녹조류 13종, 갈조류 23종, 홍조류 62종)이었고, 조사시기별로는 33~63종의 범위로 나타났다. 이 가운데 녹조류 2종(구멍갈파래, 떡청각), 갈조류 3종(참그물바탕말, 톳, 왜모자반), 그리고 홍조류 11종(작은구슬산호말, 혹돌잎, 참도박, 참지누아리, 붉은까막살, 진분홍딱지, 진두발, 잔금분홍잎, 개서실, 모로우붉은실, 참보라색우무)의 16종은 모든 조사시기에 관찰되었다. 해조류의 단위면적당 생물량은 평균 $629.68g\;dry\;wt\;m^{-2}$이었으며, 계절별로 $119.30{\sim}1,660.96g\;dry\;wt\;m^{-2}$의 범위를 보였다. 조사지역 해조군집의 수직분포는 조간대에서 작은구슬산호말과 모자반류, 조하대 1 m에서 모자반류, 5 m에서 모자반류와 무절산호조류 그리고 10 m에서 무절산호조류로 대표되었다.

Marine macroalgal community structures and characteristics of ocean environmental factors were examined seasonally at four sites in Jeju Island, Korea, from March to November 2012. A total of 71 macroalgal species were identified, including 9 green, 7 brown, and 55 red algae. Peyssonnelia capensis occurred at all study sites and in all seasons. The average annual biomass of seaweed was 991.84 g wet $wt/m^2$, with seasonal variations from 543.80 g in autumn to 1,284.17 $g/m^2$ in summer. A green alga, Codium coactum, was the dominant species, occupying 21.31% (211.39 $g/m^2$) of the total algal biomass in Jeju Island. Subdominant species were Ecklonia cava and Lithophyllum okamurae, comprising 20.85% (206.75 $g/m^2$) and 19.64% (194.75 $g/m^2$), respectively, of the total algal biomass in Jeju Island. The vertical distribution of subtidal seaweeds was represented by L. okamurae at 5 m depth, C. coactum at 10 m depth, E. cava at 5-10 m depth and P. capensis at the 20 m depth level. In the present study, crustose coralline algae, which predominated on barren ground, were subdominant species at all study sites. Community indices varied between 0.51-0.63 for dominance index (DI), 5.53-8.14 for richness index (R), 0.51-0.63 for evenness index (J'), and 2.04-2.32 for diversity index (H'). On the basis of seaweed biomass and community indices, Sinchang was the best preserved coastal area, showing maximal values in biomass, and evenness- and diversity-indices, and minimal value in the dominance index, representing stable environmental conditions. In contrast, the Onpyung and Topyeong sites, located near tourist venues such as Udo and Seogwipo were relatively poor habitats based on community indices and biomass. The present results could imply that climate changes alter seaweed community structure, and long-term monitoring of the study sites is required.
