The changes of phytoplankton community in downstream of the Nakdong River from 2002 to 2012 was investigated. Phytoplankton biomass (chlorophyll-a concentration) was gradually increased, but dominant species cell number was gradually decreased. In changes of percentage of dominant species cell number from 2002 to 2012, Diatoms was gradually decreased, but blue-green algae was gradually increased. In changes of annual percentage of dominant period, Diatoms showed high percentage from November to May, and dominant period (%) of diatoms was 56%~74% from June to September, also dominant period of diatoms was about 300 days every year. Percentage of dominant species cell number and dominant period of blue-green algae was 68%~94% and 26%~ 36% from June to September, respectively. And green-algae showed low percentage from April to September. In the transition patterns of diatoms and blue-green algae, Stephanodiscus spp. was the highest dominant species, from December to May, and Aulacoseira spp. and Fragilaria spp. were showed high dominant percentage from May to October. In the case of blue-green algae, Microcystis spp. was the highest dominant species, from May to November, also in the case of green algae, Actinastrum spp., Pediastrum spp., Micractinium spp. and Pandorina spp. were dominant species from April to September.

본 연구는 2001년 9, 10, 11월에 2주 간격으로 6개 정점에서 한강 하류 수욕6개 정점(팔당대교-행주대교)에서 식물플랑크톤 군집과 수지로한경(수온, 염분도, pH, DO, BOD, SS, TN, TP, $NO_{3}-N$, $NH_{4}-N$, $PO_{4}-P$)을 조사하였다. 수온은 7,8월에 $24~27^{\circ}C$ 로 높았으며, BOD의 평균 농도는 정점 1과 2에서 각각 1.26mg/l, i.39mg/l이었고, 정점 3~6에서 3.52~4.01mg/l이었다. $NO_{3}-N$은 정점 1에서 6까지 평균 1.36~1.98mg/l의 범위였고, $PO_{4}-P$의 평균 농도는 BOD, $NO_{3}-N$와 마찬가지로 하류오 향할수록 높아져 정점 6에서 정점 1의 39배였다. TN은 평균 1.74~6.89mg/l, TP는 0.03~0.42mg/l의 범위였다. 한강하류의 수질은 강우에 영향이 크며, 탄천의 영향을 받는 정점 3(영동대교)에서 급격히 나빠져 성산대교까지 유지되다가 안양천의 영향을 받는 행주대교에서 최고조로 악화되는 거으로 파악되었다. 식물플랑크톤 현존량은 6월 4일 평균 $5.81\times10^{6}cells/l$로 감소하였다가 7월 13일 $28.53\times10^{6}cells/l$로 증가하였다. 7월 28일과 8월 11일에 각각 $3.07~8.34\times10^{6}cells/l$로 감소하였다가 8월25일 $24.47\times10^{6}cells/l$로 다시 증가하여 조사기간 중 항시 대발생이 유지되고 있었다. 본 수역에서 우점종은, 6월에 전 조사정점에서 Aulacoseria granulata와 Aulacoseria granulata var. angustussima, 7월에는 Aulacoseria granulata var. angustussima와 Stephanodiscus hantzschii f. tenuis와 남조류인 Anabaena sp., Oscillatoria sp.가 우점을 하였다. 8월에는 남조류인 Anabaena sp. Microcystic sp. Osillatoria sp.가 높은 비율로 우점하였다. 여름철 식물플랑크톤 대발생에 영향은 수온과 직산염이 중요하였으나, 부유물질 크게 기여하지 못하였다.

Nutrient limitation was examined for the Dongbak Lake based on bioassay experiments and analyses of long-term monitoring data. From the results of data analyses, molar ratios of TN/TP and DIN/DIP were higher than 16 : 1 suggesting that phytoplankton growth was potentially limited by phosphorus. Phytoplankton responded to the addition of phosphates in the incubation experiments for all seasons whereas phytoplankton did not respond to other nutrients such as ammonia, nitrate and silicates. Size fraction (net and nano size) of phytoplankton also responded to the addition of phosphorus indicating that phytoplankton growth was limited by phosphorus in the Dongbok Lake. There was also a taxonomic shift from euglenophyceae to bacillariophyceae after addition of phosphate during warm season especially.

Han River is very important as a source of drinking water in metropolitan area. This study was conducted to figure out diversity and dynamics of plankton community in the seven lakes (lakes Paro, Chunchon, Soyang, Uiam, Chungpyung, Paldang, Chungju) of Han Riversystem. A total of 76 genera and 121 species were investigated by taxonomic identification in November 2008. Cyclotella sp. and Microcystis sp. was a dominant species in lake Paro and Chungju respectively. Aulacoseira granulata was dominant in lakes Chunchon, Paldang and Chungpyung. And Fragilalia crotonesis was a dominant species in lake Soyang and Uiam. Our results can be useful when compared to the results using molecular biological method to supplement taxonomic identification.

The dynamics of phytoplankton community in Lake Imha and its tributaries was investigated at nineteen stations in August and September 1996. A total of 171 taxa ［171 species (including 1 forms and 27 varieties),66 genus, 25 families, 6 suborders, 13 orders and 6 class］ were identified. The standing crops of phytoplankton ranged from $47.35{\times}10^3 to 184.65{\times}10^3 individuals/ml in surface layer, 1.08{\times}10^3~54.33{\times}10^3 individuals/ml in middle layer and 0.69{\times}10^3~115.85{\times}10^3individuals/ml$ in low layer. Dominant species determined by standing crops of each species were Oocystis lacustris, Elakatothrix gelatinosa, Aulacoseira ambigua, and Synedra acus, however, the most species dominated from 1992 to 1994 disappeared.

We carried out a field survey to analyze the spatial distributions of phytoplankton communities at 15 stations in the Yellow Sea in 2019. Diatoms exhibited a high appearance rate in winter and spring, whereas small flagellates(<20 ㎛) showed a high appearance rate in summer and autumn. This change in the phytoplankton-community structure may be ascribed to low nutrient concentrations in the area, especially of phosphate, which was below the detection limit, seriously hampering the phytoplankton growth. The composition ratio of picophytoplankton was high in the surface mixed layer in summer and autumn when the water columns exhibited strong stratification. Redundancy analysis revealed strong negative correlations between nutrients (NO₃^-, PO₄^3-) and water depth. In conclusion, the reduction in nutrients in the surface mixed layer owing to the strengthening of stratification in summer and autumn creates favorable conditions for the growth of relatively small phytoplankton with low nutrient requirements, leading to a shift towards a smaller phytoplankton-community structure.

The seasonal changes in phytoplankton standing crops, species composition, dominant species, species diversity and physico-chemical characteristics in Woopo and Mokpo swamps were studied from January to December, 1998. Phytoplankton of a total 353 taxa were identified, the composition of phytoplankton community was characetrized by green algae and diatoms and quantity composition of standing crops was dominated by green alga Oscillatoria sp. was especially prominent. The standing crops varied from 108 cells/ml and 118 cells/ml to 19,178 cells and 38,393 cells/ml in Woopo and Mokpo swamps, respectively. The maximum algal density was observed in November, Micractinium pusillum and Oscillatoria sp. usually contributed 83.2% to total cell numbers in Woopo swamp. However, the maximum density occurred in May when Oscillatoria sp. formed bloom in Mokpo swamp. The low species diversity of the phytoplankton coincided with maximum standing crops of the filamentous blue-green alga Oscillatoria sp. and green alga Micractinium pusillum in May and November.

Using physiological data which had been already published, we investigated variation of phytoplankton communities due to changes of marine environmental factor at 2 stations of northern Gamak Bay from November 2007 to September 2008. Dominant species (occupied species above 10%) were dinoflagellates 1 species and diatom 11 species. Diatom Skeletonema costatum was observed as dominant species during the periods except in summer (i.e. July and August), especially, which occupied above 90% in December. On the other hand, dominant species during summer were diatom Eucampia zodiacus and Chaetoceros spp., Considering the results of other physiological studies, S. costatum might be non-dominant species during summer by following reasons 1) growth rate of E. zodiacus might be taster than that of S. costatum under the temperature during summer although both S. costatum and E. zodiacus are eurythermal and euryhaline species. 2) Species as E. zodiacus characterized by low affinity with light might have a chance to be dominant with increasing optical transparency due to low suspended solids in July. 3) In aspect of nutrition, species of growth strategist as S. costatum could be dominant in relatively low concentration of phosphate and species of storage strategist as E. zodiacus could be dominant in relatively high concentration of phosphate during summer in this study area. In order to understand the phytoplankton dynamics in detail, the physiological informations about strains isolated from this study area are necessary because physiological conditions are different depending on isolated area.
