Abstract

This study described the phonology and reproductive potential of four species of Korean seagrasses, Zostera caespitosa, Z. caulescem, Z. Japonica and Z. marina. Z. caespitosa and Z. caulescens sampled from a mixed stand at the subtidal area of Yulpo Bay, Geojedo of the South Sea of Korea in November 2002 and August 2003. Z japonica and Z. marina occurred at the depth between the middle intertidal and shallow subtidal (<1m below mean sea level) of Seungbongdo (in Yellow Sea) samples collected in February and October 2003. The sexual reproductive phase of the four Zostera species was apparently different in timing of flowering, reproductive period, fruiting and seed maturing. Z. caespitosa flowered from February to early May $(10-16^{\circ}C)$, and its seed production completed in early May. The reproductive shoots of Z. caulescens began to appear in January $(9^{\circ}C)$, and its flowering followed from February to June $(10-19^{\circ}C)$. The flowers of Z. japonica were observed from July to September $(18-22^{\circ}C)$, and its seeds matured from August to September. The most commonly I marina flowered from April to August $(7-21^{\circ}C)$ and developed into seeds in July. Z. caulescens, the largest plant, had the highest number of seeds per shoot and longest spadix length. Z. marina, which was intermediate In size, recorded the highest reproductive potential. The study indicates that the reproductive phase and potential of the four species of seagrass from Korea are highly related to water temperature, and the populations of these species show a perennial lifespan with a low sexual reproductive input.

한반도 연안에 자생하는 거머리말속(Zostera) 해초 4종인 포기거머리말(Z caespitosa), 수거머리말(Z. caulescens), 애기거머리말(Z. japonica), 그리고 거머리말(Z. marina)에 대한 생물계절학과 생식지 특징을 조사하였다. 율포만의 조하대에 혼재하는 포기거머리말과 수거머리말은 2002년 11월부터 2003년 8월까지 조사하였다. 승봉도의 애기거머리말은 조간대 중부에서 하부까지 분포하였으며, 식물체는 2002년 11월부터 2003년 10월까지 채집하였다. 거머리말은 승봉도의 조간대 하부에서부터 간조시 수심 1m 내외의 조하대까지 패치로 분포하였으며, 생물계절학적 특징은 2003년 2월부터 2003년 10월까지 조사하였다. 거머리말속 종들의 유성생식 단계는 개화, 열매, 종자 출현시기와 생식기간이 명확하게 구분되어 나타났다. 포기거머리말의 개화는 2월에서 5월초$(10{\sim}16^{\circ}C)$까지 출현하였지만, 최대 종자는 5월초에 나타났다. 수거리말의 생식지는 1월$(9^{\circ}C)$에 출현하였으며, 개화는 2월부터 6월$(10{\sim}19^{\circ}C)$까지 출현하였다. 애기거머리말의 개화는 7월에서 9월$(18{\sim}22^{\circ}C)$까지 출현하였으며, 종자는 8월부터 9월까지 성숙하였다. 거머리말의 개화는 4월에서 8월$(7{\sim}21^{\circ}C)$까지 출현하였으며, 7월에 종자가 나타났다. 수거머리말의 생식지와 육수화서는 가장 길게 신장하였으며, 개체당 종자 수도 가장 높았다. 거머리말의 생식지는 중간 크기이며, 생식능력이 가장 높게 나타났다. 거머리말속 4종에 대한 생식지의 생식 단계와 생식 능력은 증가하는 수온과 관련된 것으로 판단되었다. 본 연구지역에서 거머리말속 개체군의 생식 전략은 유성 생식 능력이 낮은 다년생의 특징을 보였다.
