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...
