  • To investigate the occurrences of resting cysts of Diplopsalis and Protoperidinium species, sediment trap samples were collected from Gamak Bay, Korea. Based on the germination experiments, nine species of order Peridiniales were identified; cyst of Diplopsalis lebourae, cyst of Protoperidinium excentricum, cyst of Protoperidinium sp. cf. nudum, cyst of Protoperidinium obtusum, cyst of Protoperidinium ventricum, cyst of Protoperidinium sp.1, cyst of Protoperidinium sp.2, Protoperidinium sinuosum (Brigantedinium majusculum) and unidentified Peridiniales.

  • In 2005, harmful dinoflagellate Cochlodinium polykrikoides was first occurred on July 18 and disappeared on September 12 in the Yeosu waters of the South Sea of Korea. During C. polykrikoides blooms, the species of Protoperidinium was isolated from Jabong Island in Yeosu in the middle of August, 2005. The surface water temperature at the sampling site was $25^{\circ}C$, and salinity was 33.1 psu. The specimen was somewhat large in size and was longer than its width. The shape was close to being ovoid, with an apical horn. This study discovered cells with colorless and transparent ingested chain-forming C. polykrikoides. However, this species was not abundant, implying low grazing impact on C. polykkoides.

  • In thecate dinoflagellates, the thecal plate pattern has been considered to be important criteria in their classifications. Due to this fact the shape of the theca and the arrangement of the theca were studied. In the pictures, the distinctions between the plates in the cells were so vague that I drew a diagram to illustrate the plate pattern. To identify the genus Protoperidinium, the shape of the first apical plate and the second anterior intercalary plate were used. Depending the shape of first apical plate, will be designated as meta(4), meta(5), para(4), para(5) or para(6). The shape of first apical plate is considered an important factor. From this point of view, the genus Protoperidinium as a group of planktonic protist in the coastal environment was classified.

  • I investigated the predation impact by the heterotrophic dinoflagellate Protoperidinium cf. divergens on copepod eggs in the presence of co-occurring phytoplankton prey (a preferred red-tide dinoflagellate Gonyaulax polyedra) and the selective feeding on mixtures of both prey. The ingestion rates of P. cf. divergens on Egg N (unidentified round copepod eggs with a smooth surface, about 80 in diameter) decreased by only 1.7-2 times when mean G. polyedra concentration increased by 57-115 times. In mixed prey experiments, P. cf. divergens preferred Egg N over G. polyedra even at 1.1 ${\mu}g$C $ml^{-1}$ or 470 cells $ml^{-1}$ of the latter. A strong preference of P. cf. divergens for Egg N over G. polyedra can be responsible for this relatively small effect. Protoperidinium may sometimes have a considerable predation impact on the populations of Egg N even during phytoplankton blooms or red-tide periods.

  • A study searching for unrecorded and taxonomically undescribed indigenous species has been conducted since 2006. Samples were collected from many sites in coastal waters and offshore in Korea as well as around Jeju Island. Since 2008 we have found 13 unrecorded species belonging to family Diplopsaliaceae, Heterocapsaceae, Kolkwitziellaceae, Protoperidiniaceae and Thoracosphaeraceae. The species are as follows, Preperidinium meunieri (2014), Heterocapsa ovata (2015), H. pseudotriquetra (2015), Diplopsalis lenticula (2008), Protoperidinium abei (2009), P. diabolus var. longipes (2010), P. depressum (synonym: P. parallelum (2008)), P. latispinum (2016), P. punctulatum (2010), P. solidicorne (synonym: P. spinosum (2010)), P. subpyriforme (2010), P. pacificum (2013), Scrippsiella hexapraecingula (2009) (note; The numbers in parenthesis refer to the year that the species was reported as unrecorded indigenous species by National Institute of Biological Resources, NIBR hereafter). Among these, 5 species were described as newly recorded species in Korean waters, and 8 were re-described in this study.

  • Food items of the five species of marine cladocerans were reported to be largely confined to centric diatoms. Reexamination of the prey items, however, revealed that flagellar organisms were also well fed by cladocerans. This additional finding suggests that marine cladocerans might extend their food items to weakly motile flagellates e.g., Prorocentrum micans, Protoperidinium sp. and unidentified flagellates.

  • Canonical correlation analysis was applied on phytoplankton species and associated physico-chemical environmental factors of the surface mixed-later in the southwestern waters of the East Sea (Sea of Japan), Korea. Water temperature was the most significant environmental factor for the distribution of phytoplandton species among the seven factors examined in spring, and salinity in autumn. The importance of these two environmental factors was discussed with the seasonal variations of the hydrographical regime. Kuroshio indicators' and two protoperidinium species were positively associated with high water temperatures and high salinity. Small pennate diatoms and silicoflagellates seem to prefer lower temperatures, and they might compete each other for silicate nutrient resulting in lower K value in silicoflagellate species than in small diatoms. A nitrogen fixing blue-green alga, Oscillatoria erythraea, was found to be positively associated with phosphate concentration.

  • This study examined the relationship between dinoflagellate cysts and vegetative cells, to a certain extent, by conducting a germination experiment on dinoflagellate cysts collected from a sediment trap and surface sediment. The germination experiment showed that 56.8%, 25 of the 44 species of dinoflagellate cysts seen in the sediment trap, germinated, which confirmed the relationship between cysts and vegetative cells. The germination experiment also found that Votadinium carvum showed different forms of vegetative cells in all three forms of cysts, which required an accurate identification of the species through a genetic analysis. Furthermore, the species known to be the cyst of Cochlodinium polykrikoides was determined to be Cochlodinium sp., and the cysts of C. polykrikoides did not appear.

  • This study described the spatial distribution of dinoflagellate cyst assemblages in the Ulsan Coastal Waters (UCW). Surface sediment samples from 15 stations revealed the occurrence of 33 species involving the Groups Protoperidinioid (51.5%), Gonyaulacoid (30.4%), Calciodineloid (9.1%), Gymnodinioid (3.0%), Diplopsallid (3.0%) and Tuberculodinioid (3.0%). The recorded cyst abundance in the UCW recorded was low ($260{\sim}1,680cysts\;g-dry^{-1}$) compared to Korean coastal waters. The abundance of heterotrophic cysts is higher in the Ulsan harbour and northwestern parts of UCW with eutrophic areas, however autotrophic species are more prevalent in the southern parts with open sea environments. The dinoflagellate cyst assemblages in the UCW were characterized by the dominance of Gonyaulax scrippsae, Protoperidinium sp. (Brigantedinium sp.), and Gonyaulax spinifera complex. The advent of the toxic dinoflagellate, Pyrodinium bahamense var. bahamense was recorded for the first time in the East-south sea of Korea. Therefore, as a result of ongoing monitoring and management for new toxic dinoflegallates from tropical or subtropical regions, analysis of dinoflagellate cyst assemblages in the UCW has been deemed necessary.

  • This study describes the spatial distribution of dinoflagellate cyst assemblages from the fishing ports along Jeju Island. Surface sediment samples from 22 stations revealed the occurrence of 29 species involving the Groups Protoperidinioid (44.8%), Gonyaulacoid (31.0%), Calciodineloid (10.3%), Gymnodinioid (6.9%), Diplosalid (3.5%) and Tuberculodinioid (3.5%). The cyst abundance recorded here is very low ($13{\sim}220cysts\;g-dry^{-1}$) as compared to Korean coastal regions. The abundance of heterothophic cysts increased in several fishing pots with fine sediments and anthropogenic tidal pools. And cyst abundance was well correlated with the grain-size composition of surface sediments. The dinoflagellate cyst assemblages in Jeju fishing ports were characterized by the dominant species, cyst of Gymnodinium sp., cyst of Pyrodinium bahamense and cyst of Scrippsiella trochoidea in 2012, Protoperidinium sp. (Brigantedinium sp.), cyst of Scrippsiella sp./trochoidea and cyst of Gymnodinium sp. in 2014, and Protoperidinium sp. (Echinidinium sp. and Brigantedinium sp.) in 2016. The advent of the toxic dinoflagellate, Pyrodinium bahamense were recorded for the first time in Jeju coastal waters. As a results, we are determined should be to monitoring and management measures for new toxic dinoflegallates from tropical or subtropical reigions and anthropogenic tidal pools by industrial activities.
