Abstract
Dominance and survival strategy of toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium tamarense and A. catenella under the dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) limited conditions were examined in the laboratory and field observations. In Masan Bay, DIN was limiting factor for growth of phytoplankton during spring to early summer when Alexandrium spp. have been observed. They have a disadvantageous position compared with diatoms because Ks of nitrate calculated from growth kinetics experiment of A. tamarense and A. catenella was higher than diatoms. However, A. tamarense and A. catenella were able to grow using dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) compounds such as urea and amino acids as well as DIN. Therefore, DON utilization of A. tamarense, A. catenella might contribute to not only their population growth but also dominance and interspecific competition in the DIN-limited conditions in Masan Bay.
