Impact of increasing water temperature on growth, photosynthetic efficiency, nutrient consumption, and potential toxicity of Amphidinium cf. carterae and Coolia monotis (Dinoflagellata)
The effect of global warming on marine ecosystems may benefit the formation of harmful algal blooms. However, our understanding of the effect of higher water temperatures on the growth of harmful benthic dinoflagellates in the environment is practically unknown. The effect of increasing water temper...

The effect of global warming on marine ecosystems may benefit the formation of harmful algal blooms. However, our understanding of the effect of higher water temperatures on the growth of harmful benthic dinoflagellates in the environment is practically unknown. The effect of increasing water temperatures from 5 to 30°C on the growth of two strains of benthic dinoflagellates (Amphidinium cf. carterae and Coolia monotis) isolated from the Fleet Lagoon, Dorset, south of England, was investigated, and their potential toxicity was assessed using two types of bioassays (mortality of the copepod Tigriopus californicus and haemolytic activity of chicken red blood cells). Benthic dinoflagellate strains were grown in f/2 medium at irradiances of 35-70 µmol m-2 s-1 and under a 12h L:12h D photoperiod. Cell abundance, maximum quantum yield of photosystem II (Fv/Fm), nutrient consumption (N-NO3 + N-NO2 and P-PO4), and growth rates were determined in dinoflagellate cultures at growth temperatures between 5 and 30°C. Increasing water temperatures caused increased growth rates of the species.
