자란만에서 분리한 와편모조류 Akashiwo sanguinea의 성장에 대한 수온, 염분 및 광 조건을 실내실험을 통해서 살펴보았다. A. sanguinea의 최대성장속도(0.28 day-1)는 수온 25℃, 염분 30 psu로 나타났으며, 최적성장(최대성장속도의 80 % 이내 구간)은 수온 25℃의 염분 15~35 psu로 나타났다. 따라서 A. sanguinea는 고수온의 협온성이며, 광염성의 생리학적 특성을 가지고 있는 것으로 판단된다. 광량에 따른 성장 실험결과에서 유도된 성장식은 μ=0.31(I-16.87)/(I+51.19)로, 보상광량(I0) 값은 16.87 μmol m-2 s-1, 반포화광량(KI) 값은 84.93 μmol m-2 s-1으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 A. sanguinea는 하계에 충분한 광, 높은 수온, 염분의 변동 폭이 큰 연안해역에서 종 천이를 위한 유리한 생리학적 특성을 보이는 것으로 판단된다.

Phytoplankton populations were examined at three sites in Lake Cheongpyeong, South Korea from March 2008 to December 2016, including measurement of phytoplankton communities and their dominant species, abundance and environmental factors. The annual average ranges of water temperature, dissolved oxygen and conductivity were 15.2-18.8℃ , 10.3-12.2 mg/L, 86-140 μS/cm, respectively, with similar values at all studied sites. The highest phytoplankton cell density was observed in spring and fall, and it subsequently decreased rapidly during heavy rainfall. Diatoms were dominant in spring (mainly Stephanodiscus hantzschii, Asterionella formosa) and fall (mainly Aulacoseira granulata), while greenalgae and cyanobacteria had high appearance in early-summer and summer, respectively, indicating that water temperature is the most important factor influencing their growth. Stephanodiscus hantzschii and Asterionella formosa frequently occurred at low water temperature (4.5-15.0℃ and 5.4-21.6℃ , respectively) while Aulacoseira granulata and Anabaena spp. were favored by high water temperature (8.6-28.4 and 14.9-26.2℃ , respectively) and phosphorus. Additionally, Fragilaria crotonensis occurred at low nutrient conditions. Rhodomonas spp. frequently appeared year-round.
