The biomass of Ulva mats was surveyed in a lower rocky shore of the southern coast of Korea during the 1998∼1999 winter. The population selected for the present study was located on the tidal zone ranging from 118㎝ to 136㎝ below mean sea level(MSL), where abundance of Ulva species was highest. The biomass of Ulva species increased gradually from December 1998 until February 1999, reaching the maximum of 374g dry wt·m^-2 in February. The biomass varied little among the sampling quadrats for each sampling time. Over the course of the study a total of 16 taxa were sampled from Ulva mats, of which 5 were macrophytes and 11 were macroinvertebrates. Rodophyta comprised 3 taxa, followed by Phaeophyta of 2 taxa, but there was no Chlorophyta except for Ulva species. The macrofaunal assemblage was consisted of 8 taxa of Mollusca, 2 Arthropoda and 1 Annelida. There was a dramatic increase in Maytilus sp. in February. Moreover, the trend of biomass were similar between some macroinvertebrates and Ulva species. The results suggested that macroinvertebrates may play an improtant role in nutrient dynamics as well as food web. Further experimental evidence may be necessary to explain the correlation between Ulva mats and abundance of coexisting macroinvertebrates.
