Description Cells very variable in size (12–45 μm in length) and shape (globose, elongated pear-shaped. Many chloroplasts pale-yellow to yellow-brown, discoid or potato-shaped. Nucleus spherical and located in the centre of the cell. Several large mucocysts, randomly distributed on the surface (Hara & Chihara, 1994). [details]
Harmful effect This species has been associated with fishkills, particularly in Japan since the 1980s, and in 2016 in southern Chile [details]
