Pseudo-nitzchia

Louisiana coast (Dortch and Whitledge, 1992). Harmful algal blooms (HABs) have been linked with decreases in the Si N and Si P ratios (Smayda, 1990 Anderson et al., 2002 Ragueneau et al., 2005a,b), many of the more common bloom species consist of toxic dinoflagellates (Steidinger and Baden, 1984), prymnesiophytes (Lancelot et ah, 1987), and certain diatom species (e.g., Pseudo-nitzchia australis) (Scholln et ah, 2000).
