Cochlodinium polykrikoides is a harmful algae that in Korea, has caused red tide in the southern and eastern coastal water of Korea from summer to early autumn since 1990, triggering fishing damage each year. To reduce and prevent this damage, loess is generally sprayed in the field conditions, but in recent years, the red tide coverage is becoming extensive, and thus there is a need to secure the removal materials for the long-term ocean environment changes. This study sought to confirm the use of kaolin with low trace metal content and the organism-extracted chitooligosaccharide as a C. polykrikoides removal material. The kaolin's removal efficiency by its concentration, using C. polykrikoides cultures, was measured, showing that there was no change to pH, and that, within 30 minutes, the removal effect stood at 21~62%. The test of chitooligosaccharide by its concentration showed that, with the pH change range (5.58~8.88), the removal effect was low at 9~30%. But, the successive injection of the mixture of kaolin and chitooligosaccharide into the cultures revealed that, while the kaolin concentration was irrelevant to the removal efficiency, upon the supply of over 2mL chitooligosaccharide, the removal efficiency increased to 62?91% with normal pH values (7.01~7.34) being measured. To ensure easy onsite spray of the kaolin and chitooligosaccharide mixture, its dry crashed substance was tested, revealing that, when the ratio of kaolin : chitooligosaccharide was 1:10, the removal efficiency was higher than 85%, and that there is a need for boosting cost-efficiency considering the easiness of spraying, drying time and the supply amount.
