A floristic study on the diatom was carried out in coastal area at two seasons, August 2014 and April 2015, from three islands in the northern area of Yellow Sea of South Korea. A total of 117 species of diatoms, including 3 classes, 9 subclasses, 20 orders, 32 families and 54 genera, were identified based on LM and SEM examinations. Three species of diatoms, Gyrosigma obscurum, Pleurosigma frenguellianum, and P. sabangi were newly recorded in Korea. The historical synonyms of the species are presented for the floristic informations, the examined specimen for the each taxon is specified, and the distribution in three islands and detailed sampling localities of each taxon are given.

A study on indigenous diatoms was carried out at 10 sites from May 2014 to December 2016 in marine and freshwater in Korea. Seventeen species of diatoms are new to Korea and they are divided into 3 classes, 4 subclasses, 10 orders, 14 families, and 16 genera. The nomenclatures, references, dimensions, specimens examined, local habitat, distribution in Korea, and photograph are reported here. Seventeen species found in marine, freshwater, and brackish water showed species-specific habitats.

Starting from the February 2008 till the end of November 2014, abundance of phytoplankton and their composition living in the coastal waters of Kyoungju city were investigated. Environmental and biological properties were also observed at 10 different stations on a seasonal basis. Due to the environmental variables, fluctuating pattern was appeared during the entire period of observation with different degree, as compared to those found in other costal waters in the East Sea. The concentration of phosphate was turned out to be very low which was even less than threshold level in the study area. Phytoplankton community structure was dominated by diatoms (both micro- and nanoplankton fractions) for several years and seasonal succession was also relied on the diatoms. The importance of dinoflagellates in the community was relatively low. Abundance of phytoplankton was heavily affected by physical factors in the surface water, however, affected more by chemical factors including nutrients in the deep water. For periods of this study, the phosphate concentrations was observed in an extremely low, which indicates that the main limiting factor affecting phytoplankton growth could be phosphate.

The short-term dynamics of the summer phytoplankton community structure were investigated in coastal waters around Namhae Island, the Southern Sea of Korea. The study was based on a comprehensive survey constituting 39 collections from 13 stations on July 18-22, August 1-2, 14-16 and 27-30, respectively. The community structure was analysed using cluster analysis and important environmental correlates of the assemblage structure were identified with canonical correspondence analysis (CCA). Water temperature, salinity, NO₂, NO₃, NH₄, PO₄, chlorophyll a and transparency were measured as physico-chemical environmental factors which may be associated with the phytoplankton community structure. Variations of salinity and concentrations of NO₃ and chlorophyll a were not significant. In addition to warmer water temperature, concentrations of NO₂, NO₄and PO₄ decreased at the beginning of August. And transparency was deeper and water column became very unstable after the middle of August. A wide taxonomic diversity was encountered during the survey, including a total of 121 taxa which was composed of 72 diatoms, 48 dinoflagellates and 1 euglenoid species. Cluster analysis showed that the Phytoplankton community could be divided into 4 distinct groups, indicating rapid changes of the community in the short course of this survey. These phytoplankton groups also showed distinctive dispersion patterns in 2-dimensional canonical space, indicating distinct groupings for stations at each survey. Dominant taxa of diatoms (Chaetoceros curvisetus, Chaetoceros spp., Leptocylindrus danicus, Leptocylindrus mediteraneus, Skeletonema costanum, and Pseudo-nitzschia pungen) clustered in region of CCA space corresponding to stations surveyed at the middle of July. Dominant taxa of dinoflagellates were tightly associated with stations surveyed at the middle (Karenia breve) and end (Cochlodinium polykrikoides and Polykrikos schwartzii) of August. The CCA also showed that the phytoplankton community compositions were highly associated with water temperature, transparency, NO₂, NH₄ and PO₄, suggesting that gradients in physical and nutrient conditions affect short-term changes in phytoplankton composition.

김의 병해를 일으키는 부착규조류와 주변해수의 식물플랑크톤의 분포양상을 조사하고자 개야도, 편포, 목포 등 세곳에서 1989년 2월부터 1990년 3월까지 시료를 채집하였다. 본 연구에서 동정된 부착 규조류는 40종이며 우점종은 Licmophora dalmatica, L. abbreviate, Melosira nummuloides, Paralia sulcata, Achnanthes javanica var. subconstricta, Grammatophora oceanica, Navicula sp., Synedra sp., Pinnularia sp., Fragitaia striatula, Cocconeis scutellum var. parva 등이었는데 그 중 Licmophora dalmatica가 가장 우점하였다. 주변해수의 식물플랑크톤 현존량은 서해 다른 연안에 비해 비교적 높은 수준이었다. 격포와 개야도의 부착규조류, 주변해수의 식물플랑크톤 상은 유사하였으나 목포의 경우는 다른 양상을 보였다.

Potentially toxic diatoms Pseudo-nitzschia calliantha and P. fraudulenta were found in bottle samples of phytoplankton collected in Amurskii Bay (East/Japan Sea) and in the coastal waters of Sakhalin Island (East/Japan Sea and Sea of Okhotsk) in different seasons during 2002-2006. The mass development of these species occurred in October and November 2002 at water temperatures of $6-16^{\circ}C$ and salinities of 28.8-33.5 PSU. The highest concentrations of P. calliantha and P. fraudulenta were about $2{\times}10^5\;cells\;L^{-1}$ and $1.5{\times}10^5\;cells\;L^{-1}$, respectively. P. fraudulenta was found for the first time in the Russian waters of the East/Japan Sea. Morphological descriptions of these species based on observation with light and electron microscopy and information on their ecology are presented. Data on the geographical distribution of these species are supplemented.

This research was conducted to find the indigenous diatom species unrecorded in Korea from February to December 2016. The samples were taken at 28 sites of the coastal regions on the west coast of Korea and Jeju Island. Diatoms were collected mostly from sand and mud of tidal flats, including gravel, seaweed on the bottom and macrophytes floating in the seawater. Diatom specimens were observed by means of light and scanning electron microscopy. Twenty one species were discovered and added as new specimens to the Korean diatom flora, which are divided into 9 orders, 12 families, and 16 genera. The list and photographs of the species are included with the description of the morphological characteristics and distribution in Korea.

Four Rhizosolenia species of marine diatom were appeared at 30 sites in Korean coastal waters from September 2008 to February 2010. The cell shape, diameter, length of pervalvar axis, external process, segment and areolation characters of the species were examined. All four species were cylindrically shaped, but the external processes differed. Segment striations were regularly straight, and velum showed hexagonal, circular pore and narrow slit. Rhizosolenia formosa and R. hyalina were only occurred in September 2008 from the Yellow Sea, R. bergonii was appeared throughout the year from Korea Strait and Yangyang coasts, and R. setigera was abundantly showed in all seasons from all site. R. formosa is a newly recorded species in Korean coastal waters.
