The radiocarbon content (∆14C) of the large brown macroalgaUndaria pinnatifidawas investigated as an indicator of oceanographic conditions during algal growth in Otsuchi Bay on the Pacific coast of northeastern Japan. In this region, warm boundary currents characterized by high dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) ∆14C and cold subarctic Oyashio Current (low ∆14C-DIC) flow into the bay seasonally. We hypothesized that ∆14C values inU.pinnatifidapinnae (leaflet-like structures arising sequentially along the vertical axis of the blade) reflect ∆14C-DIC values in bay water during photosynthetic production. During theU.pinnatifidacultivation period (November 2013–April 2014), the Oyashio intrusion occurred from early March to early April, accompanied by a decrease in bay water ∆14C-DIC, from 15.7 ± 8.6‰ to − 57.1 ± 20.7‰. The ∆14C of the pinnae reflected ∆14C-DIC, as pinnae that formed in early March had significantly higher ∆14C (3.0 ± 5.4‰) than those that formed in early April (− 23.6 ± 7.5‰). These results indicate that the ∆14C ofU.pinnatifidapinnae can serve as a record of Oyashio intrusion into the bay during algal growth.
