Hydrurus foetidus is a cold-water golden alga (Chrysophyceae) found in fast-flowing rivers mainly during time of snowmelt. It has primarily been studied by scientists located near alpine or northern locations, but there are also observations both in south and north America, Russia, Japan, in the Hope Bay area (Antarctica) and Himalaya. If and where environmental conditions are appropriate, Hydrurus may be distributed "worldwide." More information is wanted from areas where its presence may be expected.

Background: Several investigations carried out from large brackish lagoons in South Korea. However, no studies have yet examined phytoplankton in lagoons that changed to freshwater, such as Cheonjin Lake. The present study examined the algae from Cheonjin Lake. Methods: Samples were collected at monthly inetrvals from May 2017 to April 2018, from the surface layer using a plankton net (mesh size $20{\mu}m$), and sequeezing submerged macrophytes. Microscopic examinations were conducted at a magnification of 200 to 1000x using a Zeiss microscope (Axio Imager. A2), and photographs were taken with an AxioCam HRC camera. Silica-scaled samples of Chrysophyta for SEM were placed on coverglass, air dried, coated with gold, and then examined with a Hitachi SV8220 SEM. Results: A total of 376 taxa from six major algal groups (Chlorophyta, Chrysophyta, Euglenophyta, Cyanophyta, Dinophyta, and Cryptophyta) were identified. Among these algae, 28 taxa of desmids, 9 taxa of Euglenophyceae, 4 taxa of Chlorophyceae, 2 taxa of Chrysophyceae, and 1 taxon of Xanthophyceae are reported for the first time in Korea. A new species, Cosmarium hexagonum sp. nov was described. The phytoplankton communities were characterized by an abundance of Desmids (within Charophyceae) accounted for 148 taxa from 22 genera. Species richness were particularly high in the Autumn. Conclusion: In this study, a total 376 taxa of 148 desmids (Charophyceae), Chlorophyceae (103 taxa), Chrysophyceae (53 taxa), Euglenophyta (49 taxa), Dinophyta (8 taxa), and Cryptophyta (2 taxa) were identified from Cheonjin Lake. Twenty-eight taxa of desmids including a new species (Cosmarium hexagonum sp. nov.), 9 taxa of Euglenophyceae, 4 taxa of Chlorophyceae, 2 taxa of Chrysophyceae, and 1 taxon of Xanthophyceae were newly recorded in Korea.

Dynamics of phytoplankton communities were investigated at five stations in Youngsan River from December 1995 to November 1996. Phytoplankton were identified to the total of 466 taxa, which were composed of 136 genera, 438 species, 27 varieties and 1 forma. The standing crops ranged 1,163-50,765 cells ${\cdot}ml^{-1}$ during the investigation periods. The variation of classes was in order to Chrysophyceae - Bascillariophyceae - Chlorophyceae at St. 1 and was only Bacillariophyceae at the other stations. The dominant species were 12 taxa including Aulacoseira ambigua, A. garnulata, Cyclotella meneghiniana, C. pseudostelligera, Chlorella vulgaris, Dinobryon sertularia, Flagilaria elliptica, Monoraphidium contortum, Micractinium pusillum, Nitzschia palea, Scenedesmus grahneisii and Stephanodiscus hantzschii f. tenuis. The standing crops of dominant species ranged from 10.6% to 94.7%. The genus Dinobryon in Chrysophyceae was dominant species at St. 1 in December 1995, but not recorded in the other months. The dominant species were composed with the planktonic diatoms from winter to spring and were the tychoplanktonic and the benthic species at St. 2-5 from summer to fall. The relationships between total standing crops and water temperature, pH, $NH_4$, $NO_2$, $NO_3$ and $PO_4$ showed low positive or negative coefficients. Stephanodiscus hantzschii f. tenuis had low positive or negative coefficients with water temperature, $NH_4$, $NO_2$, $NO_3$ and $PO_4$. The fluctuations of standing crops in the Youngsan river phytoplankton community were not caused by a single factor but controlled by the complex factors with interaction between phytoplankton community and envirowmental factors.

Free-living heterotrophic stramenopile flagellates, which lack chloroplasts, were encountered in deep-sea sediments of Gippsland Basin (Australia) and classified into 10 species (8 genera, 5 families, 3 orders). Their descriptions were based on living specimens by light microscopy. Those species rarely found in this study were Bicosoeca gracilipes, Caecitellus parvulus, Cafeteria minuta, Cafeteria roenbergensis, Pseudobodo tremulans, Spumella sp., Paraphysomonas sp., Actinomonas mirabilis, Ciliophrys infusionum and Developayella elegans. Their morphological characters and geographic distribution are presented.

The present study summarizes the taxonomic description and Korean distribution of 16 taxa that are recorded for the first time in Korea. These taxa classified into Chlorophyceae (Astrephomene gubernaculifera, Botryococcus protuberans, Chlorangiella polychlora, Cylindrocapsa geminella, Kirchneriella contorta var. gracillima, Korshikoviella gracilipes, Oocystis naegelii, O. ovalis, Stylosphaeridium stipitatum), Charophyceae (Cosmarium moniliforme, Cosmocladium constrictum, C. perissum), Xanthophyceae (Tetraedriella tumidulum, T. spnigera), Chrysophyceae (Cyclonexis erinus) and Cyanophyceae (Arthrospira platensis). Among these taxa, six genera including Astrephomene, Chlorangiella, Cosmocladium, Cyclonexis, Stylosphaeridium, and Tetraedriella are newly recorded in Korea.

아산만 식물플랑크톤의 군집구조 변화를 파악하기 위하여 총 5개 정점을 선정하여 2008년 1월부터 12월까지 월별 조사를 실시하였다. 조사기간 동안 두 번에 걸쳐(2월, 8월) 식물플랑크톤 대발생이 발생하였고, 시기에 따라 발생 위치가 다르게 나타났다. 조사기간 동안 총 7개 분류군(Bacillariophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Chrysophyceae, Cryptophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Dinophyceae, Euglenophyceae) 134종이 출현하였다. 대체로 규조류(Bacillariophyceae)가 우세한 분포를 보였으나 하계에는 와편모조류가 증가하였고 내측해역보다는 외측해역에서 개체밀도가 높게 나타났다. 우점종과 차우점종 역시 규조류인 경우가 많았으나 6월부터 7월에는 와편모조류가 우점 및 차우점종으로 나타났다. 생태지수 분석결과 종다양성지수는 내측에서 외측으로 갈수록 높았으며 우점도지수는 상반된 결과를 나타내었다.

The physico-chemical characteristics and seasonal variations of phytoplankton community were investigated in the Paksil and Jungyang marshes. Water and phytoplankton samples for analyses were collected monthly from April 2002 to March 2003. A total of 421 taxa of phytoplankton belonging to eight classes identified. The number of taxa was highest in Bacillariophyceae, followed by Chlorophyceae, Euglenophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Chrysophyceae, Dinophyceae, Xanthophyceae and Cryptophyceae. The standing crops ranged from 1.25 ${\times}$ $10^6$ to 5.85 ${\times}$ $10^6$ cells ${\cdot}l^{-1}$ in Paksil marsh and 0.25 to 9.63 ${\times}$ $10^6$ cells ${\cdot}l^{-1}$ in Jungyang marsh. The highest algal density at Paksil marsh was recorded in October during the high development of Chlorococcales while the lowest value occured in July. In the Jungyang marsh, the maximum algal density was recorded in October when Cryptomonas sp. and Mallomonas sp. accounted for 64% to total cell numbers and the lowest cell density was observed in January due to the decrease of Chlorophyceae. The dominant species were represented by Euglena proxima, Trachelomonas oblonga, Trachelomonas volvocina of Euglenophyceae, Dictyosphaerium pulchellum, Monoraphidium griffithii, Oocystis parva of Chlorophyceae, Dinobryon sertularia, Kephyrion rubri-claustri of Chrysophyceae, Achnanthes minutissima of Bacillariophyceae and Cryptomonas sp. of Cryptophyceae in the Paksil and Jungyang marshes. Phytoplankton diversity(H’) and dominance index varied rather irregularly throughout the sampling period but they were significantly correlated. The highest diversity(H’Paksil = 3.68, H’Jungyang = 3.63) coincided with the lowest values of dominance(DPaksil = 0.05, DJungyang = 0.05)

This study was to clarify the variations in a marine ecosystem through examining the species composition of phytoplankton in the coastal water of Baegyado Island during winter. Water temperature, salinity, SS, NH$_4$-N, NO$_2$-N, NO$_3$-N and SiO$_2$-Si were significantly different and in inverse proportion to the chlorophyll a and species number according to stations and water depth. The total number of species was 88, composed of 94% Bacillariophyceae, 3.4% Chrysophyceae, 2.2% Dinophyceae and 1.1% Euglenophyceae. The dominant species were Rhizosolenia setigera, Skeletonema costatum and Stephanopyxis palmeriana. The maximum of standing crops was $5,450cells{\cdot}ml^(-1)$, while the minimum was $1,700cells{\cdot}ml^(-1)$. The coastal water was influenced with two water bodies which had characteristics of low water temperature - low salinity and high water temperature - high salinity.
