Occurrence of Cochlodinium fulvescens (Gymnodiniales: Dinophyceae) in the southwestern Gulf of California

The naked dinoflagellate Cochlodinium fulvescens was rarely observed in Bahía de La Paz since 2008. Sporadic observations were made in 2010 and 2012. The species re-appeared from October 2012 to April 2013. Abundance of C. fulvescens ranged from 600 to 45,800 cells L_1 during this period in seawater...
