Optimum temperature for growth of this species is ca. 27°C. Since the species can not survive less than 10°C, it was speculated to overwinter in some certain regions as a motile form or resting cyst, and expanded the distribution after temperature increased up to the tolerable degree for growth. To determine the overwintering regions and migration pattern of C polykrikoides, occurrences of the motile cell were surveyed in the coasts and offshore of western Kyushu, Japan from April 2006 to April 2007. Cells of C polykrikoides were found from 10 of 18 investigated sites for 13 months. Since motile cells occurred through a year in Usuka Bay, Hirado, Nagasaki, it implies that this area is one of the grounds overwintering regions in western Kyushu. From offshore regions of Fukue Island and off Shin-Nagasaki Fishery Harbor of Nagasaki, motile cells of C. polykrikoides were first detected in the late of May, and were continuously found until August. At there sites mo-tile cells appeared before red tides of formation C. polykrikoides reported at coastal areas in western Kyushu., 長崎大学水産学部研究報告 v.89, pp.1-6; 2008}, pages = {1--6}, title = {西九州周辺海域における有害渦鞭毛藻 Cochlodinium polykrikoidesの季節的消長(2006年4月~2007年4月)}, volume = {89}, year = {2008} }
