Abstract
We examined effects of water temperature, salinity, irradiance, and different media on the growth of the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium tamarense (HYM9704), which was isolated from Jinhae Bay, Korea. The ranges of temperature and salinity in which the strain was able to grow were $10{\sim}20^{\circ}C$ and $20{\sim}34$ psu, respectively. These values were in accordance with those observed in situ. The maximum growth rates of axenic A. tamarense (HYM9704) was $0.25d^{-1}$ at $15^{\circ}C$, 30 psu, and $100{\mu}Em^{-2}s^{-1}$. The temperature affected the growth rates of axenic A. tamarense more significantly than the salinity. The type of culture media did not affect the growth rates of axenic A. tamarense. The strain in N-limited and P-limited media went into the stationary phase faster than that in T1 and T1/2 medium.
