Abstract

In order to understand the population dynamics of red tide dinoflagellate Noctiluca scintillans, we examined its hydrographical and bio-ecological characteristics at 19 to 20 stations of Gwangyang Bay during all four seasons from 2010 to 2012. During the 3-year period, N. scintillans was seasonally abundant during summer with water temperatures ranging from $15^{\circ}C$ to $22^{\circ}C$ and salinity ranging from 25 psu to 30 psu. On the other hand, N. scintillans population density significantly decreased in spring, fall and winter, although they were present even in lower temperatures (< $4^{\circ}C$). However, high water temperature (> $27^{\circ}C$) and low salinity (< 12 psu) led to the disappearance of N. scintillans population. Chl-a concentration in winter, spring and fall was positively correlated with N. scintillans population density, whereas the N. scintillans population was negatively correlated with Chl-a concentration in summer. This implies that densities of prey population such as diatoms are one of important contributing factor for maintaining abundance of N. scintillans in winter, spring and fall and for increasing abundance of N. scintillans in summer. During summer season, bio-accumulation of N. scintillans population by the wind from southwest is also considered to be a key factor in triggering the formation of large-scale blooms in Gwangyang Bay.

광양만에서 야광충 Noctiluca scintillans의 개체군 동태를 파악하기 위해서 수계지리학적 및 생리생태학적 특성을 2010부터 2012년까지 3년 동안 19 또는 20개 정점에서 조사를 수행하였다. 조사기간 동안 야광충은 하계의 수온범위가 $15^{\circ}C$에서 $22^{\circ}C$로, 염분이 25.0 psu에서 30.0 psu 사이의 환경조건에서 높은 밀도로 출현하였다. 이와 반대로, 그들의 개체군은 동계 $4^{\circ}C$의 낮은 수온 조건에서도 출현하였으나, 동계를 비롯하여 춘계, 추계에는 야광충의 개체수가 현저하게 감소하였다. 특히 $27^{\circ}C$ 이상의 높은 수온과 12.0 psu 이하의 낮은 염분조건의 환경에서는 야광충 개체수의 사멸로 이어졌다. 야광충의 먹이원인 Chl.a 농도와는 동계, 춘계, 추계에는 양(+)의 상관관계가 성립되었고, 하계 야광충의 높은 밀도가 관찰되었을 때에는 Chl.a 농도와 음(-)의 상관관계를 보였다. 이는 야광충의 포식압에 의한 영향으로 생각되며, 하계와 같이 야광충의 개체수밀도가 높았을 때에는 식물 플랑크톤(Chl.a)을 현저하게 포식하여 음(-)의 상관성을 나타내었을 것이고, 나머지 계절의 양(+) 상관관계는 야광충의 개체수를 유지하는데 일정량 먹이원이 필요하였다는 것을 의미한다.
