Notes  Diet: general for group: both heterotrophic (eat other organisms) and autotrophic (photosynthetic) [details]

Distribution: cold temperate to tropical species, neritic and oceanic [details]

Habitat: pelagic [details]

Importance: General: known for producing dangerous toxins, particularly when in large numbers, called "red tides" because the cells are so abundant they make water change color. Also they can produce non-fatal or fatal amounts of toxins in predators (particularly shellfish) that may be eaten by humans. [details]

Predators: marine microorganisms and animal larvae [details]

Reproduction: general for group: both sexual and asexual [details]
