  • The effects of sediment and water movement on the survival and growth of Campylaephora hypnaeoides J. Agardh were examined in culture to elucidate why this species grows as an epiphytic alga. The survival and growth rates of Campylaephora tetraspores declined as the sediment concentration increased under both water-movement and no-water-movement treatments. After 5-day cultures under various sediment treatments, the respective survival and growth rates ranged from 27.32 to 78.63% and 0.22 to 0.29 $day^{-1}$ under the no-water-movement and from 15.66 to 82.69% and 0.19 to 0.31 $day^{-1}$ under the water-movement treatments. The maximum survival and growth of C. hypnaeoides tetraspores occurred at 20 and 40 ${\mu}mol$ photons $m^{-2}s^{-1}$, respectively. The survival of Campylaephora tetraspores and germlings declined with increasing dark period, but the tolerance of total darkness based on the survival rates was two-times greater for 5-day old sporelings than for tetraspores after 12 days. In conclusion, Campylaephora hypnaeoides grows as an epiphytic alga because its survivorship and growth decline rapidly with greater water movement and sedimentation and with lower light intensities.

  • Populations of Campylaephora borealis (Nakamura) Seo, Cho et Boo and C. crassa (Okamura) Nakamura show a year-around occurrence of all life-history stages. Such a concurrency of life-history stages produces problems in recognizing species in the field. Here, we invesitgated the morphological variation and life-history stages of both species using a statistical character analysis. Life-history stage was correlated with the seawater temperature in C. borealis, whereas it was dependant on biomass in C. crassa. Thalli had dichotomous branches with adaxial branchlets. The statistics showed that the seasonal change in morphology of C. borealis was significantly different from that of C. crassa in seven qualitative characters and five quantitative characters (p < 0.001), although six quantitative features including tetrasporangial size were similar in both species. The morphological difference between the two species may be due to the annual variation of branchlet number and the variance of branch subangle.

  • Phycoerythrins from the ceramiaceous red algae Campylaephora crassa (Okamura) Nakamura and related species, C. hypnaeoides J. Agardh and Ceramium kondoi Yendo, were investigated for absorption spectra, protein bands by gel electrophoresis and antigenic reactivity to anti-phycoerythrin using Ouchterlony double diffusion and immunoblot. Similarities in absorption spectra, showing peaks at ca. 566 nm>534 nm>495 nm, were found between C. crassa and Cm. kondoi, while C. hypnaeoides differed slightly. There were no differences in fluorescence emission spectra and protein bands between C. crassa and related species tested. Since Ouchterlony double diffusion, however, showed that phycoerythrins from C. crassa and Cm. kondoi were similar in antigenic reactions, and differed from that of C. hypnaeoides, the taxonomic position of C. crassa should be reinvestigated using other experimental approaches.

  • The phenology of Campylaephora hypnaeoides J. Agardh and optimal conditions for carpospore release, growth and reproduction were examined in the field and in the laboratory from January to December 2007. In the field population of C. hypnaeoides, approximately 50% of the plants were vegetative during the study period. Additionally, the percentages of carposporophytes and tetrasporophytes were maximal in April (37%) and June (57%), respectively. Maximum growth in plant length, dry weight, and hook number coincided with the tetrasporophyte reproductive peak in the field. In culture, carpospore release, sporeling growth and reproduction were affected by environmental factors such as daylength, temperature, and salinity. The liberation of carpospores was maximum under continuous light and at a combination of $15^{\circ}C$ and $10\;{\mu}mol$ photons $m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$. Maximum growth of tetrasporophyte sporelings occurred at a combination of $20\;{\mu}mol$ photons $m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$ of constant light and $25^{\circ}C$. However, the growth of gametophyte sporelings was maximal under $40\;{\mu}mol$ photons $m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$ of constant light and in a combination of $20^{\circ}C$ and 35 psu. The tetrasporophyte sporelings were grew faster than gametophytes, indicating that gametophyte- and tetrasporophyte-sporelings have different physiological responses to irradiance and temperature. Tetrasporangial branches and cystocarps of C. hypnaeoides were produced from carpospores and tetraspores within 1 month, and they were stimulated at high temperature and irradiance levels. In conclusion, C. hypnaeoides should be seeded using carpospores during early winter (November-December) because cystocarps are easily identified by fishermen, and tetrasporophytes grow faster than gametophytes.

  • Chemical components of red algae (Gelidium amansii, Gracilaria verrucosa, Gigartina tenella, Carpopeltis cornea, Plocamium ovicornis, Callophyllis adnata, Lomentaria hakodatensis, Gymnogongrus flabelliformis, Chondrus pinnulatus, Adinotrichia fragilis, Gloipeltis tenax and Campylaephora hypnaeoides) were examined. The contents of carbohydrate, ash, crude protein and fat in dried red algae are $40.38\~69.88\%,\;8.57\~30.23\%,\;18.11\~33.90\%\;and\;0.11\~0.90\%$ on dry base, respectively. Yields of water-soluble compound in dried red algae and contents of sulfate in water-soluble compound extracted red algae were $4.32\~55.78\%\;and\;1.65\~19.48\%$, respectively. The principal sugars of water-soluble compound extracted from red algae were galactose, 3, 6-anhydrogalactose, glucose and xylose.
