| Research Abstract |
Kyushu Island is known as the southernmost limit for commonly known temperate seaweeds and seagrass in Japan. There isconcern that continued changes in the coastal environment caused by climate change may drive shifts in species composition in this region. This study focused on determining the commnunity characteristics of 16 temperate species at their southern distributional limit. Furthermore, temperature tolerance of these species and 9 edible red algae were determined by examining photosynthetic performances using the dissolved oxygen sensors and pulse amplitude modulated-chlorophyll fluorometers. Net photosynthetic rates of these species significantly decreased at more than 28℃. Maximum quantum yield (Fv/Fm) and relative electron transport rate (rETR) of each species also decreased at temperatures beyond these temperatures. Highest seawater temperature in Kagoshima Bay was around 30℃, suggesting that further increase in seawater temperature might influence its photosynthetic activity and contribute to the degradation of the community.
