Abstract

In order to estimate the effect of additional nutrients on phytoplankton growth and horizontal phytoplankton community distribution during the autumn season in 2010 and 2011, we investigated the abiotic and biotic factors of surface and bottom waters at 20 stations of inner and offshore areas in Gwangyang Bay, Korea. Also, nutrient additional experiments were conducted to assess additional nutrient effects on phytoplankton assemblage using the surface water. In both years, the total nutrients were high at the enclosed inner bay and the mouth of Seomjin River, whereas it was low at the St.15~20 where in influenced by the surface warm water current from offshore of the bay. On the other hand, nano- and pico-sized Chl. a were gradually increased towards the outer bay and their trends were significant in 2011 than in 2010. The cryptophyta species occupied more than 85% of total phytoplankton assembleges in 2010, whereas their abundance in 2011 remainds to be 1/10 levels of 2010. Following the cryptophata species, the diatom Chaetoceros spp. and Skeletonema-like spp. were found to be dominant species. Further the biosaasy experimental results shows that the phytoplankton biomass in the +N and +NP treatments was higher compared to control and +P treatments and its trend was significant at St.8 and St.20 where nutrient concentration were low. Based on the bioassay and field survey, providing the high nutrients may have stimulated to phytoplankton growth such as S. costatum-like spp.. In particular, opportunistic micro-algae such as Cryptomonas spp. were able to achieve the high biomass under the relatively mid nutrient condition from bottom after break down of seasonal stratification in the Gwangyang Bay.

2010년과 2011년 추계 광양만에서 식물플랑크톤 군집구조와 그들의 성장에 미치는 환경요인을 파악하기 위해 만내외측의 19~20개 정점에서 생물학적 요인과 무생물학적 요인을 조사하였다. 또한 식물플랑크톤에 대한 영양염 첨가 효과를 알아보기 위해 2010년 현장 10개 정점의 표층수를 이용하여 생물검정실험을 수행하였다. 2010과 2011년의 영양염 수평적 분포특성은 내만해역I (정점1~9)과 섬진강의 영향을 직간접적으로 받을 수 있는 해역II (정점10~14)에서 상대적으로 높게 나타났고, 해역III (정점15~20)으로 갈수록 점차적으로 감소하여 해역별 차이가 명확하였다. 반면, 크기별로 분획된 Chl. a함량은 영양염농도가 낮은 해역으로 갈수록 극미소(Nano와 Pico)크기의 생물량이 상대적으로 증가하였다. 이와 같은 양상은 2010년보다 2011년이 두드러졌다. 2010년 은편모조류가 대부분의 정점에서 85% 이상으로 우점하였고, 2011년에도 은편모그룹이 전체 식물플랑크톤 군집중 대부분의 정점에서 50% 이상의 높은 비율을 차지하였으나, 2010년의 출현개체수의 1/10 수준에 머물렀다. 은편모그룹 다음으로 높은 비율을 차지한 생물군이 규조류 Chaetoceros spp.와 Skeletonema spp.로 나타났다. 생물검정실험에서는 전 해역에서 N첨가군과 NP첨가군의 효율이 대조군과 P첨가군에 비하여 높았고, 특히 현장 영양염농도가 낮게 기록된 정점8과 20의 NP영양염첨가군에서 약 2배의 높은 효율을 보였다. 결과적으로 광양만에서 추계 갑작스럽게 높은 영양염이 공급될 경우 Skeletonema spp.와 같은 영양염 흡수능이 뛰어난 생물이 우점할 수 있을 것이며, 성층붕괴와 같은 일정량의 지속적인 영양염공급은 세포크기가 작은 기회성 특징을 가진 은편모그룹의 성장에 유리한 조건이라는 것을 알 수 있었다.
