| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The harmful dinoflagellate Karenia mikimotoi performs diurnal vertical migration reaching deeper than 20m deep at night. When K. mikimotoi reach the sea bottom, dwelling pennate diatoms probably give various adverse effects on K. mikimotoi. The densities of penante diatoms and resting stage cells of centric diatoms were detected as many as 104 ~ 106 cells per gram wet sediments. The existence of pennate diatoms with densities morathan 0.1 million per gram wet sediment inhibited the diurnal vertical migration and growth of K. mikimotoi. Newly established pure strain of Nitzschia sp.1 entirely killed K. mikimotoi through co-culture experiment. Freshly collected sediments were also inhibiting to K. mikimotoi, and the grazer ciliate Pleuronema sp. was newly isolated as predator on K. mikimotoi. Obtained results showed that the pennate diatoms dwelling sea bottom inhibited the growth of K. mikimotoi and ciliates probably also kill K. mikimotoi at sea bottom in the shallow area.
