Abstract
The changes of phytoplankton community in downstream of the Nakdong River from 2002 to 2012 was investigated. Phytoplankton biomass (chlorophyll-a concentration) was gradually increased, but dominant species cell number was gradually decreased. In changes of percentage of dominant species cell number from 2002 to 2012, Diatoms was gradually decreased, but blue-green algae was gradually increased. In changes of annual percentage of dominant period, Diatoms showed high percentage from November to May, and dominant period (%) of diatoms was 56%~74% from June to September, also dominant period of diatoms was about 300 days every year. Percentage of dominant species cell number and dominant period of blue-green algae was 68%~94% and 26%~ 36% from June to September, respectively. And green-algae showed low percentage from April to September. In the transition patterns of diatoms and blue-green algae, Stephanodiscus spp. was the highest dominant species, from December to May, and Aulacoseira spp. and Fragilaria spp. were showed high dominant percentage from May to October. In the case of blue-green algae, Microcystis spp. was the highest dominant species, from May to November, also in the case of green algae, Actinastrum spp., Pediastrum spp., Micractinium spp. and Pandorina spp. were dominant species from April to September.
