In September 2007, reports of respiratory irritation and fish kills were received by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) from the Jacksonville, Florida area. Water samples collected in this area indicated a bloom of Karenia brevis, the dinoflagellate that produces brevetoxin, which can cause neurotoxic shellfish poisoning. For the next four months, K. brevis was found along approximately 400 km of coastal and Intracoastal waterways from Jacksonville to Jupiter Inlet. This event represents the longest and most extensive red tide the east coast of Florida has experienced and the first time Karenia species other than K. brevis have been reported in this area. This extensive red tide influenced commercial and recreational shellfish harvesting activities along Florida's east coast. Fourteen shellfish harvesting areas (SHAs) were monitored weekly during this event and 10 SHAs were closed for an average of 53 days due to this red tide. The length of SHA closure was dependent on the shellfish species present. Interagency cooperation in monitoring this K. brevis bloom was successful in mitigating any human health impacts. Kernel density estimation was used to create geographic extent maps to help extrapolate discreet sample data points into $5km^2$ radius values for better visualization of the bloom.

The monitoring activities at the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (NFRDI) in Korea have been extended to include all the coastal waters of Korea after the outbreak of Cochlodinium polykrikoides blooms in 1995. We used several alternative methods including climatological analysis, spectral and optical methods which may offer potential detection of the major species of red tide in Korean waters. In the climatological analysis, NOAA, SeaWiFS, OCM satellite data was chosen using the known C. polykrikoides red tide bloom data and the area was mapped by helicopter reconnaissance and ground observation. The relationship between the distribution of sea surface temperature to C. polykrikoides bloom areas was studied. The anomalies of SeaWiFS chlorophyll a imageries against the imageries of non-occurring red tide for August, 2001 showed where the C. polykrikoides occurred. The anomalies of chlorophyll a concentrations from the satellite data during red tide outbreaks showed a similar distribution of C. polykrikoides in the red tide in August, 2001. The distribution between differences in sea surface temperatures during the day and at night also showed a possibility for red tide detection. We used a corrected vegetation index (CVI) to detect floating vegetation and submerged vegetation containing algal blooms. The results of from the optical absorption of C. polykrikoides in the ultraviolet band (340 nm) showed that if we use the optical characteristics from each red tide, we will be able to establish the feasibility of red tide detection.

적조는 유해 조류의 이상 대량번식으로 바닷물의 색이 적색이나 황색으로 변하며, 어패류를 대량으로 집단 폐사시키는 등 바다환경에 좋지 않은 영향을 미치는 전 세계적인 자연현상이다. 국내에서는 90년대 이후로 어패류 양식장에 지속적인 피해를 입히고 있다. 적조 생물에 대한연구는 수산업 피해가 증가함에 따라서 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 자동으로 적조 이미지를 인식하여서 유해적조를 판별하는 적조이미지 검색에 대한 국내의 연구는 미흡한 실정에 있다. 특히 전 세계적으로 200여종의 적조 생물은 각기 다른 크기와 모양을 가지고 있기 때문에 이미지 인식을 위한 기준 특징을 추출하기 어렵다. 이 때문에 기존이 연구들은 몇 종류의 적조 생물만을 이미지 인식에 이용하고 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 문제를 해결 할 수 있도록 NMF(non-negative matrix factorization, 비음수 행렬분해)와 이미지의 회전각 보정을 이용한 새로운 적조 이미지 인식 향상방법을 제안한다.

Cell-free culture broth of marine halophilic bacterium, Kordia algicida was shown to possess specific algicidal ability against red tide organism, Cochlodinium polykrikides. Physiochemical characteristics of algicidal material originated in the bacterial culture broth were analyzed that its molecular weight was estimated to a 3,000 dalton and it was stable in heat and pH treatment. The algicidal fraction against C. polykrikoides obtained from gel permeable chromatography contained high concentration of ammonium ion as analyzed by ICP/Mass spectrum. C. polykrikoides by the fraction was quickly lysed within 1 min. It was shown that the effective concentration for algicide against C. polykrikoides was over 1mM of ammonium chloride. On the other hand, other metal ions presented in the algicidal fraction showed no algicidal effect against C. polykrikoides. In additon, ammonium ion exhibited species-specific killing spectrum for two species of red tide organisms, C. polykrikoides and Gymnodinium sanguieum. Therefore, further researches on the killing mechanism against C. polykrikoides exerted by ammonium ion, and subsequent development of replaceable algicidal materials will perform to provide useful tools for the control of red tide.

적조는 식물성 플랑크톤의 번성현상으로써, 해양생태 및 양식업에 유해한 영향을 끼칠 수 있는 현상이다. 다양한 광학원격센서를 이용한 적조탐지 연구가 수행되어왔지만, 기개발된 적조 탐지 알고리즘들은 수심이 얕고, 부유퇴적물이 많은 연안해역에 적용하기에는 한계가 있다. 적조 해수의 광학적특성에 대한 이해를 높이기 위해서 원격탐사반사도 및 수중구성성분에 대한 분석의 중요성이 높아지고 있다. 본 연구는 선박현장조사를 통하여 적조해수의 광학변수(원격탐사반사도)와 수질변수(Chl-a_(Spec), 총부유물농도, a_ph, a_d, 종 동정, Chl-a_(HPLC))를 취득하고 광학변수와 수질변수간의 관계를 분석하였다. 메조디니움과 코클로디니움 두가지 적조 종 및 엽록소농도에 따른 원격탐사반사도와 식물성플랑크톤 흡광계수에 대한 분석을 수행하였고, 원격탐사반사도의 특정 파장대를 이용한 적조 엽록소농도의 추정 가능성을 제시하였다. 분석 결과, 적조의 엽록소농도와 식물성플랑크톤 흡광계수는 결정계수 0.9의 상관도를 나타냈으며, RE_diff를 이용한 기법이 B-G ratio를 이용한 기법보다 적조농도를 더욱 정확하게 추정하는 것으로 나타났다.

An algal assay procedure using an indigenous phytoplankton assemblage was tested to estimate the propagation of red tide phytoplankton species and determine the optimal time interval at which to measure growth yield in eutrophic marine waters where red tides frequently occur. Various red tide phytoplankton species were propagated on a large scale by adding nitrogen or phosphorous. This procedure was useful for estimating the limiting nutrient, elucidating the mechanisms underlying red tides, and determining the levels of increases in organic matter in eutrophic coastal waters. The algal assay using indigenous C. polykrikoides showed that this species did not always propagate, apparently because of very low concentrations of trigger elements that are necessary for its growth, rather than as a result of other environmental characteristics, e.g., water temperature or stress from sampling. In the winter, when water temperatures are lower than in spring, summer, or autumn, maximum propagation and the limiting nutrient could be estimated by measuring phytoplankton biomass at 2 - 3-day intervals. However, in the other seasons, when water temperatures are higher, phytoplankton biomass should be measured at 2-day intervals. In particular, daily monitoring will be required to determine precise growth yields in warm seasons.

Relationship between the causative organi는 of red-tide and environmental factors had been ecologically dealt wtih. The surveys were conducted at seven station in Jinhae Bay from July to September 1981. The water temperature and salinity had wide range, i.e. 23.3~29.3$^{\circ}C$ and 19G.78~31.29$\textperthousand$, but several chemical factors remarkably fluctuated; dissolved oxygen 102.9~210.4%, COD 2.10~8.96mg$O_2$/l, pH 8.1~9.4, $NO_3$-N trace~1, 052$\mu$g/l, $PO_4$-P 0.6~58.9$\mu$g/l and chlorophyll-a 2.18~290.5mg/$m^3$ in the observed area. The red-tide was mainly caused by two dinoflagellata taxa throughout major outbreaks occurred in July through September. Leading species of red-tide were Gymnodinium nagasakiense belong to the ajor species. During the surveyed period, cell nubers of the causative organisms of the red-tide extensively varied from 3${\times} /10^4$ cells/l to $1.5\times10^7 $cells/l with moths and stations; Prorocentrum spp. 0.3~12.5$\times\10^5$ cells/l in July; Gymnodinium nagasakiense 0.2~5.9$\times10^6 cells/l, 1.1~4.7$\times10^6$ cells/l, and 0.2~15.1$\times10^6$ cells/l in July, August, and September, respectively. Gymnodinium nagasakiense red-tide seemed to be caused by the high water temperature in summer, unusually low salinity due to heavy rains, and the concentrated nutrients for phytoplankton supplied with the municipal sewages from the urban areas and the wastewaters from the industrial complexes.

To understand the physiology of a suspension-feeding bivalve and its potential impacts on the dynamics of red tides on tidal flats, rates of clearance and ingestion of Glauconome chinensis were measured as a function of algal concentration, when the bivalve was fed on a nontoxic strain of red tide dinoflagellate Prorocentrum minimum, Cochlodinium polykrikoides or Scrippsiella trochoidea. With increasing algal concentration, weight-specific clearance rate increased rapidly at lower concentrations and after reaching the maximum at ca. 0.2 to 1.0 mgC/L, it decreased at higher concentrations. Maximum clearance rate was nearly equal for different algal species and ranged between 2.1 and 2.6 L/g/hr. Weight-specific ingestion rate also increased at lower algal concentrations but saturated at higher concentrations. Maximum ingestion rate was 2 to 10 fold different with different algal species: S. trochoidea (10.1 mgC/g/hr), P. minimum (3.9 mgC/g/hr), and C. polykrikoides (0.99 mgC/g/hr). Nitrogen and protein content showed that S. trochoidea is the best among the tested three red tide dinoflagellates. The maximum filtration capacity, calculated by combining the data on ingestion rate from laboratory experiments and those from the field for the density of the bivalve and the red tide dinoflagellates was 4.7, 1.4, and 25.3 tons/m2/day for P. minimum, C. polykrikoides, and S. trochoidea, respectively. It is hypothesized that the abundant suspension-feeding bivalves in tidal flats can effectively mitigate the outbreak of red tides.

Korea has experienced a Cochlodinium polykrikoides red tide 10 out of the last 10 years (1993-2002). This species of red tide has been experienced at least once by all the southern coast of the Korean peninsular and has been transported up the southeastern coast all the way to the northeastern coast since 1995. The impression is that red tide is spending and becoming more common not only in the nearest coastal water, but also in the offshore. (omitted)

Dinoflagellates are known to cause red tide outbreaks and even to produce toxin. Recently, red tide events have frequently occurred in several embayments of the Korean coast and have brought serious damage to inshore fisheries. Thus, the red tide research activities including the taxonomy as well as distribution of toxic dinoflagellates have received ever increasing attention in Korean waters. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct an extensive taxonomical study on red tide organisms in coastal zone of Korea. The present study is to clarify the fine structures of Prorocentrum spp. and to describe each species with taxonomical notes for plankton monitoring network.
