Abstract
In the spring (March to June) in 2010, one diatom Skeletonema costatum occurred outbreaks in Lake Hwajinpo, one of the typical lagoons on the east coast of South Korea. We compared the characteristics of the phytoplankton community during the bloom and extinction period of S. costatum, and evaluated the water quality based on nutritional indices. Results indicate that 1) this bloom showed the highest cell density ($>10^5$ cells $mL^{-1}$) among outbreaks of S. costatum occurred Korea, 2) occurred in below or over $20^{\circ}C$ water temperature, and 3) was destroyed in the early summer with higher temperature than the bloom period. Water quality or trophic status of the lake was eutrophic to hypertrophic with high salinity, BOD, COD and phosphate, and low N/P ratios and transparency. Phytoplankton community in the spring bloom had a high dominance and low diversity, but rightly recovered to low dominance and high diversity in the summer season. Therefore, we temporarily conclude that the bloom of S. costatum in Hwajinpo was triggered by the extended spring drought and the reduced influx of river water, and appeal that the bloom can happen repeatedly every year.
