Naoya Minamiura, Soichi Yamaguchi, Takayuki Mine, Takuya Iwanaga, Winter bloom initiation with water column stabilization and improvement of light environment in a turbid shallow coastal water, Journal of Oceanography, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10872-023-00698-1, 2023.08, We conducted continuous mooring observation from autumn to winter of fiscal year 2020 to elucidate the mechanism of red tide development in the inner Ariake Sea, a very turbid shallow coastal water in Japan. The red tide dominated by Skeletonema spp. (mainly Skeletonema dohnii) developed at first neap tide after the annual minimum water temperature. Red tides at similar times of the year have been frequently observed here. Formation of two physical environments favorable for phytoplankton proliferation played a trigger role. One was stabilization of water column due to net heat flux transition through the sea surface from cooling to heating in mid-winter. Another was deepening of euphotic layer up to or exceeding water depth at the neap tide. Since the inner Ariake Sea has the small heat capacity due to its shallowness, the air and water temperature fluctuated almost in tandem, and reached their respective lowest values with a short time lag. The sea-surface heat flux, a main factor governing water temperature fluctuations, was dominated by latent heat and showed the highest correlation with the difference between atmospheric and sea-surface specific humidity. After mid-January, the atmosphere stabilized as the air temperature exceeded the water temperature, and the sea-surface cooling due to the latent heat weakened. With the heat flux change from negative to positive, the water column was stabilized. Then, winter bloom occurred during the neap tide when the compensation depth became deep with the decrease in suspended sediment concentration..

Soichi Yamaguchi, Yuichi Hayami, Impact of Isahaya dike construction on DO concentration in the Ariake Sea, Journal of Oceanography, 10.1007/s10872-017-0454-9, 74, 6, 565-586, 2018.12, In the Ariake Sea, dike construction in Isahaya Bay in 1997 for reclamation and disaster prevention was thought to cause big anthropogenic impacts on the marine ecosystem. Currently, hypoxia or anoxia occurs every summer in Isahaya Bay and the inner Ariake Sea. However, the effects of the dike construction on the DO concentration are unclarified. The present study evaluated the impact of the dike construction on the DO concentration by applying a numerical ecosystem model. The present calculation showed that the dike construction could affect the DO concentration in summer in a wider area than reported before in the steady state with a neap-spring tidal cycle. In Isahaya Bay, the dike construction caused a decrease of DO concentration greater than 2.0 mg l−1 , due to the decrease in DO supply from the vertical diffusion process with reduction of tidal current and the intensification of the density stratification. The dike construction also affected the DO concentration in the inner Ariake Sea by decreasing the DO concentration of the water transported by the estuarine circulation and the reduction of the diffusive supply of oxygen vertically with stratification enhanced by the dike construction. For the first time, this study showed with numerical simulation that the dike construction could affect the DO concentration in a wide area of the Ariake Sea..

5. Simon Waldman, Soichi Yamaguchi, R. O’Hara Murray, D. Woolf, Tidal resource and interactions between multiple channels in the Goto Islands, Japan., International Journal of Marine Energy, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijome.2017.09.002, 19, 332-344, 2017.09, The Goto Islands in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan, contain three parallel channels that are suitable for tidal energy development and are the planned location for a tidal energy test centre. Energy extraction is added to a 3D numerical hydrodynamic model of the region, using a sub-grid momentum sink approach, to predict the effects of tidal development.
The available resource with first-generation turbines is estimated at 50–107 MW peak output. Spreading turbine thrust across the whole cross-section to prevent bypass flow results in a 64% increase in peak power in one channel, highlighting the importance of 3D over 2D modelling.
The energy available for extraction in each strait appears to be independent of the level of extraction in other straits. This contrasts with theoretical and numerical studies of other multi-channel systems. The weak interactions found in this study can be traced to the hydraulic effects of energy extraction not extending to neighbouring channels due to their geometry..

The present calculation showed that the dike construction could affect the DO concentration in summer in wider area than reported before in the steady state with neap-spring tidal cycle. In Isahaya Bay, the DO concentration decreased by greater than 2.0 mg l-1 caused by the dike construction. It was generated by the decrease in DO supply due to the vertical diffusion process with the reduction of tidal current and the intensification of the density stratification. The dike construction also affected the DO concentration in the inner Ariake Sea by decreasing the DO concentration of the water transported by the estuarine circulation and the reduction of the diffusive supply of oxygen vertically with enhanced stratification by the dike construction. This study showed for the first time that the dike construction could affect the DO concentration in wide area of the Ariake Sea with the numerical simulation..

Toshiya Katano,Makoto Yoshida,Souichi Yamaguchi,Kenji Yoshino,Takaharu Hamada,Masumi Koriyama Yuichi Hayami, Effect of nutrient concentration and salinity on diel vertical migration of Chattonella marina (Raphidophyceae), 10, 10, 1007-1018, 2014.05, Vertical migration plays an important role in the development of Chattonella populations in the natural environment;however, this behaviour has remained largely undescribed. In the present study, the diel vertical migration of Chattonella marina in the Ariake Sea was examined along with nutrient concentrations and salinity at four sampling sites during the bloom in the summers of 2008, 2009 and 2010. Cells of Chattonella were abundant at the surface (0 m depth) in the daytime in most cases. However, when surface salinity was 9, which is the lower limit for growth, the population accumulated at a depth of 2 m, where salinity was 15, suggesting that Chattonella moves to avoid water with low salinity. Chattonella cells actively migrated, even under nutrient-replete conditions (mean DIN concentration, 12.73 μM). The present study demonstrates that Chattonella cell migration is independent of nutrient availability. In addition, Chattonella cells stop upward migration when the surface salinity is low (

Masumi Koriyama, Yuichi Hayami, Akane Koga, Koichi Yamamoto, Alim Isnasetyo, Takaharu Hamada, Kenji Yoshino, Toshiya Katano, Soichi Yamaguchi, Seasonal variations of water column nutrients in the inner area of Ariake Bay, Japan: the role of muddy sediments, 10.1007/s10661-013-3068-8, 2013.01, To investigate seasonal variations of nutrient distribution in the mudflat–shallow water system, we conducted field surveys once a month from August 2007 to July 2008 in the inner area of Ariake Bay (IAB), Japan. The NH4–N concentration of the water column increased in autumn because of the high NH4+ release from the sediments, ranging from 850 to 3,001 μmolm−2day−1. The NO3 −–N concentration was maximal in January, which was thought to be caused by NO3 − release from the oxic sediments and by NO3 − regeneration due to water column nitrification. The PO4 concentration of the water column was high in summer–autumn due to the high PO4 release from the reduced sediments, ranging from 22 to 164 μmolm−2day−1.We estimated the total amounts of DIN and PO4 release (RDIN and RPO4 , respectively) from the muddy sediment area of the IAB. In summer–autumn, RDIN and RPO4 corresponded to about 47.7 % of DIN input and about 116.6% of PO4 3−–P input from the river, respectively. Thus, we concluded that the muddy sediments were an important source of nutrients for the water column of the IAB during summer–autumn. In addition, we found that phosphorus necessary for the growth of Porphyra (Porphyra yezoensis, Rhodophyceae) would be insufficient in the water column when phosphorus during the Porphyra aquaculture period is supplied only from the river. Therefore, the phosphorus release from the muddy sediments was thought to play an important role in the sustainable production of Porphyra in Ariake Bay..
