Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The frequency of red tide is increasing in the Ariake Sea recently. The supply of a lot of DIN and/or DIP from land to the sea is being thought to cause the red-tide outbreak. However, we suspected the influence of iron on red tide microorganism proliferation; the purpose of this study is to investigate the relation between the dissolved iron concentration and the proliferation. The respective averages of the number of diatoms in 1 ml and the dissolved iron concentration in surface seawater in summer were 9667 cell/ml and 3.2 ppb in 2012, 3830 cell/ml and 1.2 ppb in 2013, and 1778 cell/ml and 0.7 ppb in 2014. Diatoms were hard to proliferate when the concentration of iron fall. Further, the following tendency appeared in 2014; when the iron concentration increased, the number of diatoms decreased; when the concentration decreased, the number increased. We think the iron concentration is an important factor for the diatom red tide in the Ariake Sea.
