Identification Prymnesium calathiferum may be separated from the other species of Prymnesium by several features. Firstly, P. calathiferum has elaborate wicker-basket-like external scales which are unique to this species, and secondly, it has the greatest ratio of flagellar to cell length (2.1-3.0) and the lowest ratio of haptonema to flagella length (0.16) of all known Prymnesium species (Chang and Ryan, 1985).

Description Species of Prymnesium can only be reliably identified to species level by examination of the organic scales on the cell surface. In . P. calathiferum the scales scales are of two types, the inner scales elliptic with inflexed rims, the outer basket shaped. [details]From regional or thematic species database
