Seaweed biomass was estimated using a nondestructive method in the rocky subtidal zones in Munseom, Jeju Island, Korea from July 2006 to April 2008. Seasonal samplings were done at the depth of 1, 5, 10 m using 50 x 50 cm quadrat. Mean biomass was comprised of 2,784 g wet wt m$^{-2}$ and the biomass values varied seasonally from 1,176 g wet wt m$^{-2}$ to 4,217 g wet wt m$^{-2}$ with the highest point in April. Biomass reached maximum at 5 m depth in spring, but was shifted to 10 m depth in summer. Common seaweeds appeared year round in Munseom were Codium minus, Ecklonia cava, Sargassum spp., articulated corallines and Plocamium telfairiae. Among them, E. cava showed the highest biomass (average of 1,288 g wet wt m$^{-2}$), comprising 4% of total biomass. Only 12 species’' biomass covered 98% of total value, which indicated the contribution of few common species to algal community. Seaweed biomass in Munseom represented one of the highest values in coastal regions in Korea.

한라산에 자생하는 위기식물 만년콩의 보전 및 복원을 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위하여 생육지 식물사회학적으로 조사하였다. 만년콩의 자생지는 해발 220 m에 위치하고 경사는 $40-50^{\circ}$로 매우 가파른 암석지대로, 돈네코 계곡의 북사면 일대에 소수의 개체가 불연속적이며 제한적으로 분포하였다. 조사는 만년콩이 확인된 지역($10{\times}20\;m$)과 분포하지 않는 인근지역을 조사하여 비교 하였다. 조사구는 구실잣밤나무 교목층(70-80%)이 수고 10-16 m로 형성되어 33종류의 식물종이 확인되었으며 본 연구에서 확인된 위협 요인으로는 다른 종과 생육지 경쟁에서의 도태, 매우 가파른 자생지의 입지 등 자연적인 요소와 계곡 정비와 같은 인위적인 요소로 판단되었으며, 보전을 위한 현지 내외 보호가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Seventeen fish species were counted in an underwater visual census, and the most common species, Sebastes inermis and Halichoeres poecilopterus, were released. More than 60% of the released S.inermis occurred near a fish farm 5 days after release, but they moved to a distant rocky area, and decreasing numbers were seen near the farm 90 days after release. In pots, a total of 722 individuals belonging to 43 species occurred, and released S.inermis dominated with 174 individuals recaptured during the study period. The other common fish species were Stephanolepis cirrhifer and Acanthopagrus schlegeli. The percentage of recapture was 0.23%, but declined to 0.12% at 90 days after release. The potential predators of released S.inermis included Lateolabrax japonicus and Sebastes schlegeli.

Although sea slaters Ligia have a significant role in rocky shore habitats, their taxonomic entities have not been clearly understood. In this study, we investigated whether genetic variation inferred from a nuclear genetic marker, namely amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), would conform to that of a mitochondrial DNA marker. Using both the mitochondrial DNA marker and the AFLP marker amplified by the six selective primer sets, we analyzed 95 Ligia individuals from eight locations from East Asia. The direct sequencing of mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene revealed three distinct genetic lineages, with 9.8-11.7 Kimura 2-parameter genetic distance. However, the results of AFLP genotyping analysis with 691 loci did not support those of mitochondrial DNA, and revealed an unexpectedly high proportion of shared polymorphisms among lineages. The inconsistency between the two different genetic markers may be explained by difference in DNA evolutionary history, for example inheritance patterns, effective population size, and mutation rate. The other factor is a possible genomic island of speciation, in that most of the genomic parts are shared among lineages, and only a few genomic regions have diverged.

Objective: Gotjawal refers to a special geographical designation found in Jeju Province, Korea, where vegetation forms over a rocky area. Due to the important ecological value of Gotjawal, international concern about such areas is growing. However, only limited information is available regarding environmental contamination of Gotjawal. This study was conducted in order to investigate the levels of contamination and associated ecotoxicological effects of surface water bodies in Gotjawal. Methods: Surface water samples were collected at three sampling sites in two Gotjawal areas and were analyzed for several pharmaceuticals and pesticides in consideration of the potential sources of contamination. The ecotoxicity of the samples was measured using water fleas (Daphnia magna and Moina macrocopa) and zebrafish (Danio rerio). In addition, effects on the gene transcription of zebrafish were investigated following exposure to the samples. Results: Nine pharmaceuticals were detected in the samples, but none of the target pesticides were detected. Following acute exposure to two surface water samples, the survival of waterfleas was significantly reduced, but reproduction was not affected. In zebrafish, time-to-hatch was delayed and fry survival was decreased in some samples. On the other hand, at the transcriptional level, there were no genes significantly influenced by exposure to the samples. Conclusion: This is the first study investigating environmental contamination in Gotjawal areas and associated ecotoxicities. Further studies are warranted to identify the cause of acute Daphnia toxicity and to determine potential consequences of longer-term exposure in Gotjawal areas.

본 연구에서는 갈고리를 이용하여 해저폐기물 수거작업 또는 해저바닥 경운작업을 할 때 갈고리가 해저바닥에 고정된 특정 물체에 걸려서 회수불능의 상태로 되는 것을 방지할 수 있는 개량된 수거장비를 개발하고자 하였다. 해저바닥이 암초지대와 반구형어초지대인 해역에서 수거장비를 적용실험을 한 결과, 스프링을 장착한 해저폐기물 수거장치는 해저바닥의 틈새나 인공구조물 등에 걸려서 빠져나오지 못하는 상태를 방지할 수 있었다. 또한 양방향 초음파탐색기의 해저면영상을 통하여 개량형 수거장비의 적용실험 과정을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상과 같이 개량된 갈고리를 부착한 해저폐기물 수거장비는 해저폐기물의 수거작업 또는 해저바닥 경운작업시 수거장비의 분실없이 효율적으로 사업을 수행할 수 있을 것이다.

In the present study, we monitored the early development of Saccostrea kegakia subtropical oyster species distributing on rocky intertidal off the northern Jeju Island using scanning electron microscope (SEM). The female oyster collected in early August, 2012 were fully mature exhibiting relatively small eggs ($46.5{\pm}1.4{\mu}m$ in diameter) in the gonad, while testis of the mature male oysters were filled with fully developed sperms of 36.9 ${\mu}m$ in length. The fertilized eggs developed into 2-cell stage with polar body after 1 hr 20 min of fertilization, then followed by Morula stage (3 hr 20 min), Blastula stage (4 hr 50 min), Gastrula stage (7 hr), and trochophore larvae stage (9 hr 30 min). The observed early development of S. kegaki in this study was similar the early development of other oysters, although size of the fertilized eggs were somewhat smaller.

Three dominant rocky intertidal macroalgae, the fucoids Fucus gardneri and Pelvetiopsis limitata (Phaeophyta) and the red alga Mazzaella cornucopiae (= Iridaea cornucopiae) on the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada were used in a series of field experiments to examine interspecific interactions. These experiments showed complex patterns which included an interchange of negative (inhibition) and positive (facilitation) interactions depending on neighbor distance. Less fucoid recruitment occurred in the plots with greater percent cover of a turfforming red alga, M. cornucopiae. However, experimentally removing Mazzaella turf (the turf was considered to be "blocking" fucoid recruits or "shading" growing recruits) did not increase recruitment. This result indicated that there may be another factor(s) involved in the survivorship of juvenile fucoids in the turf-removed plots. Morphological differences in adult plants between Mazzaella and the two fucoids resulted in another type of interaction; these began when fucoids successfully settled and grew nearby or within the red algal turf. By monitoring microhabitat at the individual plant level for two years, I found that survivorship of fucoid recruits showed different species-specific patterns. The patterns also varied as the microhabitat changed from Mazzaella turf edge to open space. For F. gardneri, longevity of P.limitata at all distances tested was similar. A reason for greater longevity of F. gardneri individuals at edge microhabitats may be that these sites have one side open to light and nutrients and another site that buffers them from desiccation and wave impact. In the Mazzaella-Fucus interaction, neighbor distance was a key factor in determining whether the outcome of the interaction would be competition or facilitation (or protection). This study provides experimental evidence that detectable biological interactions occur in this upper intertidal algal community where physical conditions are usually severe, and also indicates the importance of small scale examination in understanding macroalgal interactions in intertidal habitats.

제주도는 여러 차례의 화산활동에 의해 형성된 섬으로 불규칙한 화산암층 구조를 가지고 있다. 해상풍력발전기와 같은 구조물은 기초에서부터 하중 작용점까지의 거리가 멀고 상대적으로 큰 수평하중이 작용하여 매우 큰 전도모멘트를 지지해야 한다. 이러한 구조물을 경제적으로 지지하기 위해서는 암반층이라도 말뚝기초를 시공해야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 암반매입말뚝을 위한 주면고정액의 적정배합비를 찾기 위하여 물, 시멘트, 모래의 배합비를 달리하여 역학적 성능을 평가하고, 실험 결과와 기존 연구 결과를 비교분석하였다. 동일한 배합조건에서 시멘트풀과 소일시멘트보다 모르타르(잔골재 비=20~40%)의 역학적 성능이 우수하게 나타났다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 적정배합범위와 강도추정식을 제안하였다.
