1 Changes in dominant species of seagrass bed off Iwakuni, Seto Inland Sea, Japan Kenji SUGIMOTO, Yorihide ASAOKA Toshinobu TERAWAKI and Mitsumasa OKADA
2 Background 1 Seagrass Highly productive components of estuarine and coastal ecosystems. Support large and diverse faunal assemblages. Excellent habitats for many commercial fishes. Japanese rockfish Seagrass grows in estuaries and shallow coastal areas.
3 Background 2 Zostera marina L. and Zostera japonica distributed off Iwakuni Zostera japonica Shallow From middle intertidal zone to subtidal zone Shoot height < Zostera marina L. Distribution From low intertidal zone to subtidal zone Deep
4 Dominant species of seagrass bed off Iwakuni Z. marina L. distributed before typhoon attacked in 24. Z. marina L. was disappeared by typhoon attacked in 24. It is appropriate reasonable in Z. marina L. not growing. Even if Z. marina L. grow temporarily, it disappears again after typhoon attacked. Z. japonica distributed in 27. Seagrass bed changed in Z. marina L. into Z japonica off Iwakuni.
5 What is seagrass bed recovered automatically? Seed sources of supply seed Bottom Level Underwater light quantity Sand movement Flow velocity Seed supply hydraulic conditions Seagrass bed Habitat suitability Sediment quality Water temperature Competition Salinity Particle distribution Nutrient Sediment hardness grazer Alga Benthos
6 Objective of this study To clarify the changes in dominant species of seagrass bed off Iwakuni, Seto Inland Sea, Japan. We monitored Z. marina L. and Z. japonica distribution range, shoot density, shoot height off two sites. We investigated water temperature, water irradiate off two sites. Sediment in the eelgrass bed was collected and particle diameter, silt and clay contents, chemical oxygen demand, total sulfide was analyzed. Z. marina L. and Z. japonica leaves was collected and chlorophyll a contents in the leaves was analyzed

26 Discussion1 Photosynthesis conditions off Ozu and Kojiro Temperature : Ozu > Kojiro Water irradiate : Ozu < Kojiro Z. marina L. Chlorophyll a contents : Ozu = Kojiro Chlorophyll a contents : Z. marina L. < Z. japonica Photosynthesis conditions off Ozu Temperature : Almost all year was same Water irradiate : 28 < 29 < 21 Z. japonica vegetated area : Before 26 < < 29 < Z. japonica shoot density : 21 < 211 Ozu < Kojiro The light condition for Z. marina L. off Ozu was improved because Z. japonica increased from year to year.
27 Discussion2 Sea bottom was resuspended by wave or flow. Before Songda Typhoon attacked Z. japonica will be shaded by Z. marina L. Light condition was improved Z.japonica inhibited resuspension. Z. marina L. will increase Z. japonica will disappear Z. marina L. distributed Z. japonica increased : Z. marina L. : Z. japonica
28 Conclusions1 1) Z. marina L. off Ozu disappeared after typhoon attacks in 24-27, Vegetated area and shoot density of Z. marina L. decreased. However the vegetated area of Z. japonica increased after 28. 2) After Z. japonica off Ozu appeared in 28, it expanded distribution range which was that of Z. marina L. before typhoon Songda in 24. Shoot density of Z. japonica increased in ) The difference between before and after typhoon Songda attacked water temperature, light attenuation coefficients, particle diameter off Ozu was not significant. 4) After Z. japonica off Ozu increased in 29, silt and clay contents, chemical oxygen demand, total sulfide of sea bottom increased.
29 Conclusions2 5) Seagrass bed in Kojiro was dominant species of Z. marina L.. Photosynthetic activity of Z. marina L. off Kojiro was higher than that off Ozu. Because water temperature was lower than off Ozu and water irradiate was higher than off Ozu. The velocity of sea bottom off Kojiro was higher than off Ozu. 6) Photosynthetic activity of Z. japonica was higher than Z. marina L.. Because chlorophyll a contents in Z. japonica was higher than Z. marina L. and water irradiate off Ozu was almost lower than saturating photosynthesis and higher than compensated photosynthesis. 7) The resuspension of sea bottom was inhibited and light condition improved. Because the difference solar irradiate from 29 to 211 was not significant. However water irradiate increased after the vegetated area and shoot density of Z. japonica increased. 8) These results suggest that the resuspension of sea bottom shows significant inhibition of Z. marina L. distribution and Z. japonica has become dominant than Z. marina L. after typhoon attacked. It is reason that photosynthesis activity of Z. japonica is higher than Z. marina L.
