1. 일반적으로 제주도 연안역에서의 영양염류 농도는 성분에 따라 차이가 있으나 표층보다 50 m이심에서의 농도가 $0.5sim3$배 정도 높다. 2. 제주도 남동쪽 해역의 수온, 염분과 규산염, 질산염, 인산염, 용존산소의 농도 분포가 단조롭고 비교적 각 성분의 량도 적다. 3. 제주도 북쪽 해역은 한국남안연 안수의 영향을 받아 각 성분의 농도 분포가 복잡하고 그 변동 범위도 크다. 또 영양염류도 이 해역이 남동쪽 해역보다 풍부하다. 4. 제주도 남서쪽 해역은 황해저층냉수의 영향을 받아 영양염이 풍부하나 황해난류와 만나는 호경역이므로 그 분포상은 매우 복잡하다.
The data of 37 oceanographic stations in the coastal sea of Jeju island are compiled in terms of temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, silicate, nitrate and phosphate to analyge the chelnical characteristics in this region. This work was carried out during June, 1951. The concentrations of nutrients in the layer more than 50 m are generally 0.5-3 times larger than the surface layer. Each constituents in this layer are as follows: temperature ranged 11.8 to $15.4^{circ}C$ and salinity, 33.8 to $34.8\%_{circ}$; and also dissolved oxygen and slicate are 5.2 to 5.6ml/l and 5.6 to $9.0{mu}g-at/l$, respectively. And nitrate and phosphate ranged 1.0 to $6.0{mu}g-at/l$ and 0.1 to $0.5{mu}g-at/l$, respectively. The coastal sea of Jeju island is divided into two parts in chemical view point : one is the southeastern sea of Jeju island under the influence of the Tsushima Current, md the other is the northeastern sea of Jejo island under the influence of the Yellow Sea Bottom Cold Water and the south coastal water of Korea. The north-western sea of Jeju island had relatively a cold (about $13^{circ}C$) and low saline water (about $34\%_{circ}$), and dissolved oxygen was higher than in the neibouring waters. It seems that in the southern area between Moseulpo and Seogwipo of Jeju island, two different Ivater masses are complicately intermixed and a tidal front is formed.
