“…Scrippsiella trochoidea cysts occur widely in the Western Pacific, Mediterranean Sea, Caribbean region, off the eastern and western coasts of North America, the western coast of Europe, the coast of Peru, West Africa, and Iran (Wall et al 1970, Montresor et al 1994, Nehring 1994, Morquecho and Lechuga-Devéze 2003, Orlova et al 2004, Attaran-Fariman and Bolch 2012, Orlova and Morozova 2013. Nevertheless, there is little information about the worldwide distribution of S. trochoidea cysts in the oceans (e.g.…”

A study of vertical distribution of dinoflagellate cysts in recent sediments was conducted for the first time in the Far Eastern seas of Russia. Dinoflagellate cysts were studied in sediment cores retrieved from five stations in Amur Bay (Peter the Great Bay, Sea of Japan) in 2010 and 2013. The Scrippsiella trochoidea complex was the dominant type of cyst, the average proportion of which (in the entire sediment cores) reached 39% of the total cyst abundance. The maximum abundance of S. trochoidea complex reached 5513 cysts g -1 dry sediment. Cysts of the S. trochoidea complex were found to remain viable in the sediments after exposure to sub-zero temperatures. The identification of S. trochoidea in the Far Eastern seas of Russia was first confirmed by using biomolecular genetic analyses. The study of vertical distribution showed that cysts of this species dominate the upper sediment layers (0-10 cm). A tendency for abundance to increase from the shore toward the middle part of the bay was observed in the spatial distribution of cysts.

Polykrikos hartmannii, a harmful and ichthyotoxic marine dinoflageallate, has been widely distributed in temperate and tropical waters. In this study, P. hartmannii, previously recorded from fossil's, is recorded for the first time in the South Aegean Sea, Eastern Mediterranean from living cells. This study provides information on the new distribution areas of the species in the south-eastern Aegean Sea.

“…Its type locality is marine waters at Rio de Vigo, Spain 10 . It was first reported from North America from Bahía Concepción, Gulf of California 22 , and was germinated from cysts from this same location by Morquecho and Lechuga-Devéze (2003) 24 . The species has also been reported from the Pacific coastal waters of New Zealand 25 and Russia 12 .…”

“…That A. margalefii has now been detected in the Salton Sea is not surprising given that it forms cysts 10,24,25 and has recently been found along the Pacific flyway in the Gulf of California 22,24 . Birds are known to be dispersal vectors of algae 26 and the Salton Sea has a history of deliberate introductions of marine fish and invertebrates which were always transported in tanks of water from the Gulf of California or the Pacific coast of California 1 .…”

Dramatic blooms of Prymnesium sp. and Alexandrium margalefii in the Salton Sea, California

et al. 2008

In early 2006, unusual algal blooms of two species occurred in the Salton Sea, a large salt lake in southern California. In mid-January local residents reported bioluminescence in the Sea. Starting in February, large rafts of long-lasting foam, also bioluminescent, were observed as well. Microscopy investigations on water and sediment samples collected in March showed the marine dinoflagellate, Alexandrium margalefii, and the prymnesiophyte, Prymnesium sp., both previously unreported in the Salton Sea, to be abundant. Bioluminescence and foam production continued through March. Other dinoflagellate species, recorded during earlier studies, were rare or not detected during these blooms. Despite the fact that many Alexandrium species are known paralytic shellfish poison (PSP) producers, preliminary saxitoxin tests on this population of A. margalefii were negative. Previous reports on A. margalefii do not mention bioluminescence. It appears that the foam was caused by the Prymnesium sp. bloom, probably via protein-rich exudates and lysis of other algal cells, and its glow was due to entrained A. margalefii. This is the first report of A. margalefii in U.S. waters and the first report of it in a lake.
