Dokdo is located 215 km away from the Korean Peninsula and is not affected by anthropogenic impacts. In this area, barren grounds developed between the late 1990s and early 2000s. The Korean government has measured the average urchin density from 1 to 10 sampling stations around Dokdo during 2006–2020 and has been conducting urchin removal projects...

An ecological index of macrobenthic communities is an important tool for assessing the biological quality of habitats and ecosystems. We tested the performance of the inverse function of the Shannon–Wiener evenness proportion (ISEP) with data from the entire west coast of Korea, seasonally sampled from 2006 to 2008. Two validations were performed:...

The selection of optimal cutoff points has been questioned in many cluster analyses. Here, we aimed to determine a percent similarity cutoff value that can be generally applied to macrobenthic community classification. Biological datasets were collected from the Chokchon tidal flat in Incheon, Korea, in July 1994, and from the subtidal, soft-bottom...

We analyzed the preliminary survey data (2014−2016) of macrobenthic community biomass (n = 112) from the wind farm area located in the southern part of the west coast of Korea and compared this data with data from the entire west coast (n = 369; 2006−2008). Modal classes from frequency distributions were 6 times higher in the latter (5 vs. 32 g/m2)...

Planktonic larval stages of bivalves are notoriously difficult to identify due to their similar morphology. To evaluate changed patterns in the presented planktonic bivalve larvae within Gomso Bay (Yellow Sea, South Korea), three sites were sampled twice a month from June to October 2015 and were analysed using next generation sequencing (NGS) and...

We bio-monitored the stress of oyster, Crassostrea gigas, for possible long term effects of thermal waste from a power plant. The expression level of its heat shock proteins (HSPs) was measured by real time-reverse transcript PCR along with their density and growth in the field. Oyster size varied in a distance dependent pattern. Physics modeling f...

This study aimed to better understand the hydromineral regulatory response of the anadromous river pufferfish, Takifugu obscurus, to salinity changes through real-time RT-PCR. After abrupt transfer from 30 or 5 psu to 5 or 30 psu, respectively, we analyzed the mRNA expression of Na(+)/K(+) ATPase, prolactin receptor, and aquaporin from osmoregulato...
