This present paper deals with a study on the distribution of species, quantity and specific composition of phytoplankton at the Seogwipo coast of Jeju-Do, which were obtained in June∼August 1979.
Collected phytoplankton were 31 species totally, 16 species belong to genus Chaetoceros. 4 species to Rhizosolenia, 2 species to Nitzschia, 2 species to dinoflagellate, and other 1 species to diatoms as follows.
Chaetoceros afinis, Ch. didymus, Ch. didymus. v. anglica, Ch. didymus v. prototuberans, Ch. decipiens, Ch. compressus. Ch. debilis, Ch. distsans, Ch. pseudocrinitus, Ch. peruvianus, Ch. lorenzianus, Ch. borealia, Ch. weissflogii, Ch. radicans, Ch. anastomosans, Ch. sp., Rhizosolenia stolterfothii, Rh. fragilissima, Rh. habetata, Rh. robusta, Nitzschia seriata, N. sp., Melosira sp., Ditylium brightwellii. Thalasiothrix nitzschioides, Pleurosigma offine, Navicula sp., Ceratium fusus, Skelletonema costatum, Peridinium pellucidum, Gymnodinium sp.
The total individuel cells of phytoplankton were 510, Chaetoceros(248 cells, 48.63%), Rhizosolenia(156 cells, 30.59%), dinoflagellate(75cells, 14.7%), and other 1 genus of diatoms(31cells, 6.08%) in descending order.
18 species belong to 4 genera were typical species in the coastal water of Curoshio current, the species which appeared through a year were 2 species to 1 genus, 5 species to 4 genera were typical species of cold water.
