“…The ES is comprised of the deep sea (short continental shelf), and the coastal line stretches north and south. Therefore, the ES is significantly affected by ocean currents, such as the Liman Cold Current and the Kuroshio Warm Current [14,16,24,[35][36][37][38][39]. If the ocean temperature increases due to global warming, the distribution of fish species will change, affecting the fisheries industry.…”

“…The rate of global SST increase is 0.11 • C per decade for the observation period from 1971 to 2010 [10]. In comparison, SST around East Asia increases strongly (approximately 2 times) than a global increasing trend for the observation period from 1982 to 2006, which is the highest increase among the 18 large marine ecosystems in the world [35][36][37]. This large increase in SST is caused by changes in the ocean current system, which is affected by the northward expansion of the Kuroshio Current in the Northwest Pacific [38][39][40].…”

“…To understand regional changes, it is necessary to consider the characteristic component for local SST changes. The SST around KO is known to rise sharply due to the northward expansion of the Kuroshio Current [14,16,24,[35][36][37][38][39]. This is affected by climate change on an oceanic scale, such as Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) [24,36,41,42] and El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) [36,40,81].…”

Future Changes in the Global and Regional Sea Level Rise and Sea Surface Temperature Based on CMIP6 Models

Estimating future sea level rise (SLR) and sea surface temperature (SST) is essential to implement mitigation and adaptation options within a sustainable development framework. This study estimates regional SLR and SST changes around the Korean peninsula. Two Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP1-2.6 and SSP5-8.5) scenarios and nine Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) model simulations are used to estimate the changes in SLR and SST. At the end of the 21st century, global SLR is expected to be 0.28 m (0.17–0.38 m) and 0.65 m (0.52–0.78 m) for SSP 1–2.6 and SSP5-8.5, respectively. Regional change around the Korean peninsula (0.25 m (0.15–0.35 m; SSP1-2.6) and 0.63 m (0.50–0.76 m; SSP5-8.5)) is similar with global SLR. The discrepancy between global and regional changes is distinct in SST warming rather than SLR. For SSP5-8.5, SST around the Korean peninsula projects is to rise from 0.49 °C to 0.59 °C per decade, which is larger than the global SST trend (0.39 °C per decade). Considering this, the difference of regional SST change is related to the local ocean current change, such as the Kuroshio Current. Additionally, ocean thermal expansion and glacier melting are major contributors to SLR, and the contribution rates of glacier melting increase in higher emission scenarios.

“…The occurrence of Amphistegina in southern Jeju may relate to the northward geographic range shifts of tropical marine species due to ocean warming, which has also been reported from Jeju Island [45][46][47][48]. Actually, the region has been considered as one of the hot spots where the rapid rise in sea water temperature occurs [49], and over the last century, water temperature around Jeju has increased by 1.6 to 2.1 • C [50]. However, further interdisciplinary studies such as long-term environmental monitoring with quantitative analysis and biological, phylogenetical studies with larger numbers of live specimens are required to provide concrete evidence of such an ecosystem shift.…”

A Brief Report of Five Newly Recorded Korean Modern Benthic Foraminiferal Species

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The present study describes five newly recorded modern benthic foraminiferal species from the subtidal zone near Jeju Island and East China Sea (Korea). The newly recorded species (Karrerulina conversa, Rotaliammina trumbulli, Vertebralina striata, Pegidia dubia and Amphistegina radiata) belong to five families (Prolixoplectidae, Trochamminidae, Fischerinidae, Pegidiidae and Amphisteginidae), three orders (Lituolida, Miliolida and Rotaliida) and two classes (Globothalamea and Tubothalamea). All these five genera (Karrerulina, Rotaliammina, Vertebralina, Pegidia and Amphistegina) were also reported for the first time from Korean waters. Most of the examined specimens were highly consistent morphologically with previous records from southern China and Japan. Additionally, Amphistegina is one of the symbiont-bearing larger benthic foraminifera, known to be mainly distributed in tropical to warm subtropical waters. This study contributes to the expansion of data on the recent foraminiferal species diversity in Korean waters.
