“…Previous South Atlantic blooms of Azadinium have been described to occur in spring or even in late winter (Akselman and Negri, 2012;Akselman et al, 2014), but these blooms refer to another species (Azadinium cf. spinosum), and occurred farther offshore along extensive areas of the middle shelf and near the shelf break (Akselman and Negri, 2012;Akselman et al, 2014). Coastal populations of A. poporum, however, may have a different seasonality.…”
