The growth response of C. polykrikoides was examined on four strains in 54 different combinations of temperature (10-30°C) and salinity(16-36) under an illumination of 80 μmol m-2 S-1 with a photoperiod of 14 h light and 10 h dark cycle. C. polykrikoides grew well at a temperature range of 15-30°C, and a salinity range of 16-36. The highest growth rate was obtained with the combination of 27.5°C and 28-32 with maximum growth rates (μm) of 0.57-0.61 day-1. The effect of light intensity on the growth of C. polykrikoides was studied at seven levels ranging from 10 to 140 μmol m-2 S-1 with 14 h: 10 h light: dark photo cycle at 25°C. C. polykrikoides grew well at an irradiance of 20 μmol m-2 s-1 or more, but the growth was saturated at 120 μmol m-2 S-1. The half-saturation constant for growth of light intensity (Ks),μm and the threshold value (10) were 29.2μmol m-2 s-1, 0.54 day-1 and 4.5μmol m-2s-1, respectively. These results explain the tendency that C. polykrikoides forms red tides during warm seasons in high salinity water., 日本プランクトン学会報, 52(1), pp.4-10; 2005}, pages = {4--10}, title = {西九州沿岸に分布する有害渦鞭毛藻Cochlodinium polykrikoides Margalefの増殖に及ぼす水温,塩分および光強度の影響}, volume = {52}, year = {2005} }
