Identification of Genus Triadinium for Plankton Monitoring Network

The major group which contains all the organisms that are commonly termed Dinoflagellates is called the division Pyrrophyta or Dinophyta in botanical systems and the order Dinoflagellida or Dinoflagellata in zoological systems. Most dinoflagellates are biflagellated solitary planktonic cells. A taxonomic survey of the dinoflagellate family, Triadiniaceae Dodge was conducted for plankton monitoring network in the coastal waters of Korea. Identification of species in water samples was usually done by using differential interference contrast (DIC), which revealed especially well lighted thecal structures. For the apparent three-dimensional image, scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used. Two species were identified and described, which were Triadinium orientale(Lindemann)Dodge and Triadinium sphaericum(Murray and Whitting)Dodge.
