1 Acore-CMS Activities of HAB group in Acore-CMS program Mitsunori Iwataki Faculty of Science, Yamagata University, Japan

2 HAB: Harmful Algal Blooms Introduction - Harmful red tide forming algal species which causes fish and shellfish mass mortalities. - Toxic algal species of which produced toxic substances accumulated in shellfishes (or fishes). Research of HAB group is therefore including various fields, e.g., taxonomy, ecophysiology, toxicology, oceanography, distribution of species, dinoflagellate cysts, etc. In Acore-CMS, we provide the biodiversity of phytoplankton including HAB species, and many aspects of such HAB information.

8 Research Plan in Acore-CMS (2011-) Our HAB group is now in Biodiversity group (G2H), Difficulties: HAB study is a sort of applied biology including taxonomy, ecophysiology, toxicology, distribution, dinocysts, development of toxin detection tools Dr. Nishida: hoped HAB group to join Biodiversity to cover various kind of organism, and we can do HAB study under Acore-CMS. In Southeast Asia, (1) Marine Phytoplankton Database (2) Eutrophication Database Both will be established based on using information already obtained.

9 Research in HAB group (1) Marine Phytoplankton Database - collection and compiling microalgal photos (2011) - publication of Atlas of Microalgae (2012) (including HAB species, dinoflagellates, diatoms etc.) - occurrence and distribution of HAB species, additional species data, (2013-) (2) Eutrophication Database - collection of nutrients information (2011, Gulf of Thailand) - collection of nutrients information (2012-, Manila Bay, Jakarta Bay) (3) Regional Research - Local and collaborative study on HAB species impacts (4) Collaborative Study - with G1 Physics: Mass mortality of shellfish in Bangpakong River Estuary (5) Integrated Ecosystem Research in Acore-CMS

10 Marine Phytoplankton Database Now preparing publication of Marine Phytoplankton, edited by, Iwataki, Omura, Takayama, Borja, Fukuyo *compiling photos already taken (LM, FM, SEM) *hope to join all members in HAB group Contents Species List (M. Iwataki) HAB species (Val Borja) Dinoflagellates (M. Iwataki, H. Takayama, Y. Fukuyo) Other flagellates (M. Iwataki) Diatoms (T. Omura)

11 Marine Phytoplankton Database

12 Eutrophication Database Collection and compiling the information of nutrients, chlorophyll, and biomass of phytoplankton around megacity such as Gulf of Thailand, Manila Bay and Jakarta Bay. Finally we can compare with Marine Phytoplankton Database e.g., distribution characteristics of HAB species in each eutrophicated coastal area. - promoted by Dr. Ken Furuya - Gulf of Thailand (2011) - Manila Bay, Jakarta Bay (2012-)

13 Regional HAB Research Indonesia: (2011) - Photos provided ( ) - Phytoplankton research in Banggai Is., Lamalara Is, Jakarta Bay, etc. Malaysia: (2011) - Photos provided - Species diversity of Pseudo-nitzschia in Malaysia - A review on Ecology, Biology and Bloom dynamics of Pyrodinium bahamense - Toxigenesis of PST-producing dinoflagellates (Complete sequence of sxti) - Benthic harmful dinoflagellates in Malaysia - Yessotoxin producing dinoflagellates in Malaysia - Harmful Algal Blooms in Sabah (2012-) - Species Inventory of HABs species in Malaysia (Molecular, Ballast, FISH..) - Bloom dynamics of selected HABs species - Training course on selected HABs species

14 Regional HAB Research Philippines: (2011) - Photos provided ( ) - Temporal and spatial variations of dinocyst in Manila Bay (NFRDI and BFAR) - Characteristics and variations of ciguatoxins accumulation (NFRDI) - Philippine HAB program (UPMSI, ) Thailand: (2011-) - Red tide monitoring by DMCR (2012-) - Effects of massive flood discharge on coastal ecosystems in the Upper Gulf of Thailand: a case study on eutrophication and red tide phenomena Vietnam: (2011) - Photos provided (2012-) - Determining the causative species for domoic acid accumulation in bivalves. - Diversity and classification of phytoplankton in Vietnam waters. - Identification of HAB species using FISH method.

15 Collaborative Study - with G1 Physics: Mass mortalities of shellfishes in Bangpakong River Estuary, Upper Gulf of Thailand have occurred in the late September to the early October every year. However, the mechanism of the mass mortality was still unclear. G1 Physics group measures the time series data of dissolved oxygen, temperature, salinity, chl a, and water current. Collaboration was proposed by Dr. Morimoto (GL, Physics). We can support from the aspect of phytoplankton composition and the presence of HAB species (Heterocapsa circularisquama?).

16 Integrated Ecosystem Research Integrated Ecosystem Research HAB group can join any field, Difficulty: species composition of phytoplankton is easily changeable and difficult to understand the typical species composition of the area only by several sampling. - Species composition of microalgae (including planktonic and benthic species) - Presence of Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) responsible species - Epiphytic HAB species composition on seagrass
