| Notes |
Diet: general for group: both heterotrophic (eats other organisms) and autotrophic (photosynthetic) [details] Distribution: Cold-temperate water species. Forms very dense blooms in the Baltic Sea associated with the pycnocline (Carpenter et al. 1995) Very dense blooms in eastern Canada associated with mild DSP outbreaks (Subba Rao et al. 1993). [details] Distribution: neritic, cold water species [details] Distribution: Widely distributed in cold to temperate coastal waters of the Northern Hemisphere. [details] Habitat: pelagic [details] Harmful effect: HPLC analyses of Norwegian strains in Lee et al. (1989) had OA (0-0.8) and DTX1 (2.5-14 pg/cell), but HPLC analyses of net hauls with dominance of D. norvegica revealed high content of OA (32.6 + 5 pg/cell) (Cembella 1989). Most recent analyses by LC-MS have shown that Norwegian strains had PTX2 (0.3-2 pg/cell) and PTX12 (0.1-20.4 pg/cell), and in some cases, traces of OA (Miles et al. 2004). Japanese strains only contained high levels of PTX2 (51-67 pg/cell) (Suzuki et al. 2009). [details] Importance: General: known for producing dangerous toxins, particularly when in large numbers, called "red tides" because the cells are so abundant they make water change color. Also they can produce non-fatal or fatal amounts of toxins in predators (particularly shellfish) that may be eaten by humans. [details] Predators: marine microorganisms and animal larvae [details] Reproduction: general for group: both sexual and asexual [details] Toxic strains: Toxic strains known from Europe and North America. EUROPE Denmark: (Emsholm et al. 1996) Norway:(Dahl & Yndestad 1985; Aune et al. 1996, low toxicity) Sweden: (Edler 2002) UK: (Bresnan et al. 2002) AMERICA Canada: (Subba Rao et al. 1993; Todd et al. 1993) Mexico: Pacific coast (Hernandez-Becerril 2003, Licea et al. 2003) USA: (Freudenthal & Jijina 1985) [details] | |||||||||||
