Specimens of Umbraulva with greenish iridescent were collected in the subtidal zone of Jeju Island, Korea. To investigate these collections, plastid rbcL and tufA sequencing of six greenish iridescent specimens, including four Umbraulva japonica, were analyzed. Phylogenetic analysis of a concatenated multigene alignment found that the greenish iridescent specimens belonged to a yet undescribed taxon in the genus Umbraulva. We herein propose the name Um. yunseulla sp. nov. for this specimens. Juveniles of Um. yunseulla sp. nov. resemble the generitype Um. japonica in appearance, showing globular to subglobular and funnel-shaped habits, but the blades of this new species are not split longitudinally like those of Um. japonica. Although the multigene phylogenetic tree showed the polyphyletic clade of Umbraulva with respect to the genus Ryuguphycus, Um. yunseulla sp. nov. formed a clade with Um. japonica and Um. amamiensis by weak bootstrap support. These findings, Um. yunseulla sp. nov., highlight the importance of studying the biodiversity of subtidal habitats from Jeju Island, Korea and further emphasize the need for investigations of macroalgae in the mesophotic zone around the Korean peninsula.

쿠마류 Bodotria biplicata의 조하대 대상분포를 돌산도 모래해안의 쇄파대에서 조사했다. 1993년 1월 소조와 대조때 수심 1m의 표층과 저층, 그리고 바닷가에서 쿠마류를 1조석주기 동안 한 시간마다 썰매 네트로 3회 반복 채집했다(시료수=225개). 조하대에서 가장 우점한 B. biplicata는 저층에서 밀도가 가장 높았고 표층에서는 전체 생물량의 약 $0.6\%$가 채집되었다. 소조때 평균 밀도는 대조때보다 조금 높았다. 채집 생물량은 조하대 수심의 영향을 받았다. 밀도 변화는 주야주기나 밀물-썰물보다 조하대 수심과 더 관련이 있었다. 조사기간에 주야 수직 이동은 뚜렷하지 않았다. 소조와 대조때 모두 B. biplicata 개체군은 낮은 저조 (LLW) 아래 약 90cm 되는 곳에서 밀도가 가장 높았다. 그러므로 이 종은 2주 주기로 해안쪽과 바다쪽으로 수평이동하는 듯하다. B. biplicata가 조하대 모래바닥을 이동하는 속도와 거리는 모래해안의 기울기와 조차에 따라 달라질 것이다. 개체발생 단계별로 분포양상이 달랐고 미성체와 만카유생이 성체보다 깊은 곳에 분포했다. 이것은 먹이를 둘러싼 종내경쟁을 줄이는데 기여할 것 같다.

We found specimens of foliose Bangiales from the subtidal zone of Udo, Jeju Island, Korea. In molecular analyses of rbcL sequences, these Korean specimens were almost identical to Miuraea migitae from Osaka, Japan. In the morphological comparison, Korean specimens were consistent with habitat, color, and vegetative characteristics with the description of M. migitae. This is the first record of M. migitae outside the type locality and Nagasaki in Japan. This study confirms that new or unrecorded species of the order Bangiales may be discovered from subtidal habitats.

A new species of free-living marine draconematid nematode, Dracogalerus koreanus n. sp., is described from the shallow subtidal coarse sediments and various invertebrates of Jeju Island, Korea. This is the first record of this genus from Korea. Dracogalerus koreanus n. sp. is morphologically most similar to D. cryptocephalus (Irwin-Smith) in having similar head shape (rostrum broadly rounded anteriorly) and eight cephalic adhesion tubes, but differs by the small number of rounded protuberances on the ventral side of non-annulated tail end (5 vs 6), small number of posterior subventral adhesion tubes in male (5-6 vs 8), intermingled somatic setae (5-6 vs absent), spicules (slightly curved and relatively thick vs strongly curved and very slender), and higher 'c' value in male (8.8 vs 7.5).

A new free-living marine nematode, Chaetonema longicorpus sp. nov., was discovered in a subtidal benthic habitat around the Uljin nuclear power plant in the East Sea. Chaetonema longicorpus sp. nov. differs from other Chaetonema species in its very long body length, relatively long cephalic setae, long and narrow buccal cavity, bottle-shaped amphideal fovea, short spicules, only one pre-cloacal seta instead of a pre-cloacal supplement, and conspicuous ventral swelling at the middle of the tail. Herein, we provide a taxonomic description and illustrations of this new species using differential interference contrast microscopy. Furthermore, an illustrated pictorial key to all valid species, including the new species and comparative tables on the biogeographical and morphological characteristics of the genus Chaetonema, are provided.

The requisite numbers of sample replicates for the population study of soft-bottom benthos were estimated from survey data on the Songdo tidal flat and subtidal zone in Youngil Bay, Korea. Large numbers of samples were taken; two-hundred-fifty 0.02 m$^2$ box corers and fifty 0.1m$^2$ van Veen grabs were taken on the Songdo tidal flat and in Youngil Bay, respectively. The effect of sampler size on sampling efforts was investigated by pooling the unit samples in pairs, fours, eights, etc. The requisite number of sample replicates (n$_r$) was determined by sample variance (s$^2$) and mean (m) function (n$_r$:s$^2$/P$^2$m$^2$), at P=0.2 level, in which s$^2$ and m were calculated from the counts of individuals collected. For example, seven samples of 0.02 m$^2$ corer for the intertidal and two samples of 0.1 m$^2$ van Veen grab for subtidal fauna were required to estimate the total density of community. The smaller sampler size was more efficient than larger ones when sampling costs were compared on the basis of the total sampling area. The requisite number of sample replicates was also predicted ($\^{n}$n$_r$) by substituting $\^{s}$$^2$ obtained from the regression of s$^2$ against m using the Taylor's power law ($\^{s}$$^2$:am$^b$). The regression line of survey data on s$^2$ and m plotted on log scale was well fitted to the Taylor's power law (r$^2$${\geq}$0.95, p<;0.001) over the whole range of m. The exponent b was, however, varied when it was estimated from m which was categorized into classes by its scale. The fitted exponent b was large when both density class and the sampler size were large. The number of sample replicates, therefore, could be more significantly estimated, if regression coefficients (a and b) would be calculated from sample variance and mean categorized into density classes.

The Saemangeum project is one of the biggest reclamation efforts in Korea and may cause coastal ecosystem change due to altered environments and habitat loss. Since February 2002, benthic environment and community structure in the Saemangeum studied area were studied to assess the influence of the project on macrofaunal community. The result of seasonal study from February, 2002 to August 2005 is reported here. Overall, changes of species numbers and dominant species of benthic animals in the periods before (1988) and after $(2002{\sim}2005)$ the Saemangeum dike construction were not evident both inside and outside the dike. However, local environmental and community change were noted The partial completion of Saemangeum dike $(4^{th}\;dike)$ in June 2003 altered water circulation and sediment deposition patterns both inside and outside the dike. Fine sediment was accumulated inside and outside the $4^{th}$ dike while coarse sediment dominated near the main channel (Sinsi gate). Benthic community resl)ended to the altered sediment type in these areas. Species number and diversity in both site was low compared to other sites. The dominant species in these areas were composed of the benthos that had not commonly occurred in the Saemangeum subtidal area.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAMs) are ubiquitous contaminants in marine environments. PAMs enter estuarine and nearshore marine environment via several routes such as combustion of fossil fuels, domestic and industrial effluents and oil spills. PAHs have been the focus of numerous studies in the world because they are potentially carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic to aquatic organisms and humans from consuming contaminated food. However, one can hardly find any available data on PAM content in marine organisms in Korea. The present study was carried out in order to determine PAM content in oysters from the intertidal and subtidal zones of Chinhae Bay, which is located in near urban communities and an industrial complex, and the bay is considered to be a major repositories of PAHs. 16 PAHs were analyzed by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) with uv/vis and fluorescence detectors in oysters: they are naphthalene (NPTHL), acenaphthylene (ANCPL), acenaphthylene (ACNPN), fluorene (FLURN), phenanthrene (PHEN), anthracene (ANTHR), fluoranthene (FLRTH), pyrene (PYR), benzo(a)anthracene (BaA), chrysene (CHRY), benzo(b)fluoranthene (BbF), benzo(k)fluoranthene (BkF), benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), dibenz(a,h)anthracene(DahA), benzo(g,h,i)peryne (BghiP) and indeno(1,2,3,-cd)pyrene (I123cdP). The PAM contents in oysters from the intertidal and subtidal zones of Chinhae Bay ranged from < 0.1 to 992.0 ug/kg (mean $69.8\pm9.8$ ug/kg).

한반도 서해 중부 안면도 사질 조석대의 퇴적 환경을 연구하기 위해서 142점의 표층 퇴적물을 분석하였고, 12개 측선에서 수준측량을 실시하였다. 표층퇴적물의 퇴적상은 소량역질사, 사, 소량역사질니 등 다양하게 나타났고 외해방향으로 세립해진다. 조직변수는 조상대와 조간대에서는 평균입도가 조립하고 분급이 양호하며 양의 왜도를 갖는 특징을 보이고, 조하대에서는 평균입도가 세립하고 분급이 불량하며 음의 왜도를 갖는 특징을 보인다. C-M도에 의하면 퇴적 기작은 조상대와 조간대의 퇴적물은 밑짐이동과 점이부유가 혼합된 형태로 이동하고, 조하대의 퇴적물은 점이부유와지속적부유의 형태로 이동하는 것으로 나타났다. 주상도표에서 하부조하대의 퇴적물은 밑짐과 뜬짐 2가지의 이동모드가 모두 나타나는 이중모드의 형태를 보인다.
