다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Genus Prorocentrum of dinoflagellate has been known as representative causative algae of red tide in Masan-Jinhae Bay. Prorocentrum populations-P. dentatum Stein, P. micans Ehrenberg, P. minimum(Pavillard) Schiller and P. triestinum Schiller- were monitored from January 1996 to August 1997. Prorocentrum populations usually have bloomed during the water stratification periods from June to August. Water temperature ranged from 24℃ to 28℃ and salinity from 24‰ to 34‰ during the Prorocentrum blooms. Bloom magnitude of Prorocentrum populations gradually increased from offshore to inshore area of coastal embayment and this populations tended to concentrate from surface to 2.5m depth. Prorocentrum algal blooms have become more frequent and intense than those of 1980s and early 1990s. P. minimum was the most persistent species in terms of bloom frequency and cellular abundance.
