We conducted a year-long survey in 2000 to examine seasonal fluctuations in the abundance of the demersal copepod Pseudodiaptomus sp., the dominant copepod in the Seomjin River estuary, where the spring tide strongly affects changes in salinity gradients. Pseudodiaptomus sp. was found throughout the year in the entire range of salinities measured, but most individuals appeared at oligohaline conditions below 5.0 psu, and less than $2\%$ were observed in polyhaline conditions above 18.0 psu. The peak abundance occurred during autumn in oligohaline waters, and the density was relatively low during the rainy season in summer. In spring and autumn, copepodites were most abundant in oligohaline waters, although they were also fairly abundant in mesohaline conditions $(5\~18\;psu)$. Females with egg sacs appeared in oligo- and mesohaline waters during spring and autumn but were seldom found in polyhaline conditions throughout the year. Our results indicate that, despite the strong physical influence of the tide, Pseudodiaptomus sp. can manipulate its position to remain at its preferred salinity. We also found that spawning mainly occurred in oligohaline waters twice a year.

A huge freshwater reservoir (ca. 12,000 ha) will be created when the construction of a 33­km dike on a huge mud flat of the Saemankeum areas is established. A large quantity of freshwater will emerge to the adjacent sea from the reservoir through two big gates. Marine organisms outside the dike are expected to frequently experience low salinity waters. To investigate the salinity effects on the dominant metazooplankton in the coastal waters off Saemankeum areas, we measured the survival (Survival 1H and Survival 24H) of 11 different taxa (the copepods Acartia omorii, A. pacifica, Calanus sinicus, Centropages abdominalis, Paracalanus indicus, Pseudodiaptomus inopinus, Tortanus forcipatus, and a hydromedusa, and barnacle nauplius, polychaeta larva, and a chaetognath Sagitta sp.) at salinities of 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 psu when the organisms were exposed for 1 and 24 h, respectively. Survival 1Hs of P. inopinus and barnacle nauplius were 100% between 5 and 35 psu, while they were 0% at salinities of 0 and 40 psu. Survival 1Hs of A. omorii and A. pacifica, P. indicus, T. forcipatus, and polychaeta larva were 100% at $salinities\;\geq\;10$ psu, while they were 0% at lower salinities. Survival 1Hs of a hydromedusa and Sagitta sp. were 100% at $salinities\;\geq\;15$ psu, while they were 0% at lower salinities. Survival 1H of C. abdominalis and C. sinicus was 100% at $salinities\;\geq\;20$ psu, while they were 0% at lower salinities. Survival 24Hs of A. omorii, A. pacifica, C. abdominalis, barnacle nauplius, and polychaeta larva were the same as Survival 1 Hs at the same salinity, while those of the other metazooplankton were lower than Survival 1Hs. The results of the present study suggest that low salinity water emerging from big gates may cause the death of the metazooplankton, but the salinities at which death of the metazooplankton occurs may differ by species.

각기 다른 해양 환경 특성을 보이는 서해, 남해, 동해, 제주연안역을 대상으로 춘계(5월)와 하계(8월)에 출현한 부유성 요각류의 군집구조에 대하여 분석하였다. 봄과 여름에 출현한 부유성 요각류는 총 73종이었으며, 이 중 연안종이 28종이었다. 봄(49종)에 비해 여름(58종)에 출현 종이 다양하였다. 요각류 출현 개체수는 봄과 여름 Chl-a 농도가 낮게 나타난 동해연안해역에서 가장 낮았으며, 봄에 Chl-a 농도가 높게 나타난 서해연안해역에서 출현 개체수가 높게 나타났다. 그러나 여름에 제주연안해역에서 Chl-a 농도가 $0.6{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$으로 낮게 나타났으나, 높은 출현 개체수를 보였다. 봄에 한국 연안에서 우점적으로 출현하는 요각류는 Acartia hongi, A. ohtsukai, Paracalanus parvus s. l., Oithona similis 이었다. 여름에는 이들 종 이외에 A. omorii, A. pacifica, A. steueri, Calanus sinicus, Corycaeus affinis, Corycaeus sp., Pseudodaiptomus marinus, Tortanus forcipatus이었다. Paracalanus parvus s. l.은 봄에 조사 해역에서 최우점종 또는 차우점종으로 생태적 지위를 달리하였으나, 여름에는 전조사해역에서 최우점종으로 출현하였다. 요각류 군집특성은 수온, 염분, Chl-a 농도 등의 환경 요인에 따라 서해, 남해, 동해, 제주 4구역으로 명확하게 구분되었다.
