Some potentially toxic dinoflagellate cysts in recent sediments from İzmir Bay

14485

The distribution and abundance of potentially toxic dinoflagellate cysts were investigated from the surface sediments in İzmir Bay which is famous for red-tide and eutrophication between 2003-2011. Lingulodinium machaerophorum, Operculodinium centrocarpum, Alexandrium affine type, Alexandrium catenella/tamarense complex, Alexandrium minutum type were found as potentially toxic cysts. Lingulodinium machaerophorum reached to their highest concentrations (total 24872 cyst g-1 dry weight) in 2008-2009. This study also includes a short review of distribution and concentration of potentially toxic cyst types in recent sediment of İzmir Bay for last decade.
