Abstract

A taxonomic survey of the dinoflagellate genus Ceratium Schrank was conducted on 17 locations off the coast of Korea. A total of sixteen species and four varieties have been collected, of which Ceratium arcticum, C. longirostrum, C. praelongum, C. tripos var. ponticum are new records for Korea. Theses three species and one variety are re-examined morphologically in this study.
