Morpho-molecular description of a new HAB species, Pseudocochlodinium profundisulcus gen. et sp. nov., and its LSU rRNA gene based genetic diversity and geographical distribution.

Abstract excerpt

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) caused by an unknown dinoflagellate species have frequently occurred in the Pearl River Estuary, China Since 2006. These blooms were associated with severe water discoloration and economic losses, ranging from several km2 to 300 km2 with the maximum recorded cell density being 2.77 × 107 cells⋅L-1. This unknown dinoflagellate species was initially identified as Cochlodinium geminatum...
