Abstract
제주 바다목장 해역의 크기별 식물플랑크톤 조성비 및 물질순환 특성을 파악하기 위해 2008년 4월에서 11월까지 4회 현장조사를 하였다. 제주 바다목장 해역의 표층에서 초미세플랑크톤은 <TEX>$0.03{\sim}0.84{\mu}g/L$</TEX>에서 평균 <TEX>$0.30{\mu}g/L$</TEX>로 17.3%, 미소플랑크톤은 <TEX>$0.22{\sim}3.93{\mu}g/L$</TEX>에서 평균 <TEX>$1.35{\mu}g/L$</TEX>로 78.0%, 소형플랑크톤은 <TEX>$nd{\sim}0.24{\mu}g/L$</TEX>에서 평균 <TEX>$1.73{\mu}g/L$</TEX>로 4.7%를 차지하였다. 10m 수층도 측정값에서 다소 차이는 있지만 경향은 표층과 매우 유사하여, 계절에 따라 엽록소 a의 측정값은 변화하지만, 미소플랑크톤 조성비는 연중 높게 나타났다. 또한 제주 바다목장 해역의 크기별 엽록소 a의 분포는 지리적으로 인접한 우리나라 연안해역이나, 쿠로시오나 쓰시마난류의 영향을 받는 동중국해 및 일본연안보다도 계절풍 이후의 열대 해역 연안환경과 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 즉 제주 바다목장 해역의 물질순환은 전통적인 먹이사슬보다는 저차영양단계는 미세먹이망으로 구성되어, 기초생산은 영양염류 공급보다 미소동물플랑크톤의 포식압 등의 top-down 동태에 의해 조절될 가능성이 큰 것으로 판단되었다. To understand size fractioned chlorophyll a and material cycle characteristics in Jeju marine ranching area (JMRA), 4 times of survey were conducted from April to November 2008. Picoplankton on the surface in JMRA was on average, <TEX>$0.30{\mu}g/L$</TEX>(annual mean(M):17.3%) in the <TEX>$0.03{\sim}0.84{\mu}g/L$</TEX> range, accounting for 17.3%. Nannoplankton and picoplankton was on average, <TEX>$1.35{\mu}g/L$</TEX>(M:78.0%) in the <TEX>$0.22{\sim}3.93{\mu}g/L$</TEX> range, and <TEX>$1.73{\mu}g/L$</TEX>(M:4.7%) in the nd ~ 0.24 range, respectively. The 10m layer was similar to the surface. The measured values changed according to the measurement times but the nanoplankton composition ratio was higher throughout the year. In addition, the size fractioned chlorophyll a distribution in JMRA was similar to that of tropical sea area affected by the Monsoon rather than South Korean offshore coast geographically adjacent to the East China Sea and Japan coastal waters affected by the Kuroshio/Tsushima warm currents. That is, the material cycle of JMRA consists of a microbial food web rather than traditional food chain at a lower trophic levels. Primary production is deemed to have a higher possibility of being adjusted by top-down dynamics, such as micro-zooplankton grazing pressure rather than nutrients supply.
