Abstract

The resting cyst of Gymnodinium catenatum was found in the surface sediments collected from Chinhae Bay in October, 1991. This is the first record of the species in the Korean waters. The relative abundance was low with the maximum of $1.7\%$. The colonial motile form consisting of four cells was observed in 1992 from the excystment of the cyst collected from the Wonmun Bay in Chinhae Bay. No blooms caused by G. catenatum has been observed in Chinhae Bay during the survey.
