Abstract

The morphological variations and habitat environment of the Zostera asiatica Miki (Zosteraceae) were examined in the waters off the eastern coast of Korea and Akkeshi Bay of Japan. In this study, we report new habitat of Z. asiatica along the eastern coast of south Korea; Gonghunjin, Donghori, Youngdong and Chilpo. Z. asiatica is found at the depth of 8∼15 m in these areas. However, Z. asiatica grows at the depth of 3 m in Akkeshi Bay of Japan. The sediment of habitats in the eastern coast of Korea were principally composed of sand. The stems were 64.0∼75.7 cm long in mature plants with flowering shoots and the leaves were 11.0∼15.0 mm wide for Korean populations. Plants from Akkeshi Bay of Japan had stems of 187.0∼234.0 cm in length. The difference in size are considered to be due to the depth of habitats. In spite of the significant morphological difference between Korea and Japan population of Z. asiatica, there was no difference in ITS sequences.

한반도와 일본에 서식하는 왕거머리말(Zostera asiatica Miki, Zosteraceae)의 서식 환경에 따른 형태적인 변이를 분석하기 위해 동해연안과 일본 훗카이도에 서식하는 왕거머리말의 식물체와 서식지의 해수 및 퇴적물을 채집 분석하였다. 본 조사를 통하여 왕거머리말은 한반도 지역에서는 수심 8.5∼10 m의 개방된 만과 외해의 영향을 직접 받는 지역에서 주로 서식하며, 동해연안의 공현진리, 동호리, 그리고 영동과 칠포 지역이 왕거머리말의 새로운 자생지로 확인되었다. 그러나 일본 홋카이도의 아케시만(Akkeshi Bay)에 있어서는 한반도와는 달리 1.5∼3m의 수심이 얕은 내만에서 서식하였다. 한반도 동해 연안에서 왕거머리말의 서식지 퇴적물의 입도는 모래로 구성되었다. 한반도 동해 연안의 집단에서는 식물체의 높이가 64.0∼75.7cm, 폭 11.0∼l5.0 mm로 나타났으나, 아케시만에 서식하는 식물체 집단의 높이 187∼234 cm, 폭은 18.0∼l8.7 mm로, 후자의 경우가 훨씬 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 변이에 의해 규정된 한반도 동해연안의 집단간 그리고 일본 아케시만의 집단간핵 리보소옴 DNA의 ITS 염기서열 비교 분석에 의한 유전적 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다.
