Abstract

Hirakata Bay is a small bay in the western coast of Tokyo Bay. On 5th June 1990, a red tide which consisted of Skeletonema menzelii occurred in this bay.<BR>The marine pelagic diatom S. menzelii was first described by Guillard et al. (1974) on its specimens collected from the western Sargasso Sea. The cell sizes of this small diatom are 3-6, μm in diameter, and it is usually living solitary or making short chains of 2-3 cells. T he transmission electron microscopy reveals that the valves have 4-8 marginal strutted processes, with a labiate process near the centre. It was the first event for this species as far as the author knows that it caused the striking propagation at a small inlet like Hirakata Bay in Japan.
