| ABSTRACT |
|
Population dynamics of red-tide causing algae were investigated in Masan-Jinhae Bay from January 1996 to August 1998. Duration and frequency of occurrence, magnitude and duration of maximal abundance would be the characteristics of the algal niche. The appearance of flagellates (Heterocapsa triquetra, Eutreptiella gymnastica etc.) during early spring were followed by eurythermal or wide-niche algae (Prorocentrum minimum, Pseudo-nitzschia pungens, Ceratium fusus, C. furca etc.) in Masan-Jinhae Bay. The seasonality or succession of flagellate algae in the Masan-Jinhae Bay were clear and showed the interspecific variability.
