Abstract
In-situ observational works had been done for the investigation of Cochlodinium polykrikoides cell distributions and abundances off the coast of Busan, Jinhae Bay, and Namhae to Tongyong area in the early June, 2004. The surface water of 11 was concentrated by passing through ${\Phi}$ 10 $\mu\textrm{m}$ mesh and cellular morphological characteristics of the species in the sample was observed under light microscope equipped with digital camera on the vessel. C. polykrikoides cells showed highest cell numbers ranging from 60 to 660 cells/1 at Jinhae Bay. Cell counts at offshore area of Busan ranged from 45 to 330 cells/1. However, no cell was found in the water between Namhae and Tongyong. C. polykrikoides found during the cruise had a large bright red and round cellular materials in one cell and two-celled chain of C. polykrikoides. The red material decreased as C. polykrikoides formed long chains through cell divisions.
2004년 6월 초순 부산연안역, 진해만, 남해도∼통영해역에 이르는 남해 동부연안에서 Cochlodinium polykrikoides 의 분포와 양을 조사하였다. 표층해수 11를 10$\mu\textrm{m}$의 망으로 농축하여 현장에서 바로 C. polykrikoides를 현미경 관찰한 후 촬영하였다. 그 결과 C. polykrikoides 세포는 진해만에서 60∼660 cells/1로 가장 높게 나타났으며, 부산연안역은 45∼330cells/1였으나, 남해도∼통영 해역에서는 발견되지 않았다. 발견된 C. polykrikoides는 세포내 빨간 원형물질을 함유하였고, 세포 분열이 되어 체인을 형성할수록 세포내 빨간 물질의 크기가 감소하였다.
