Distribution: Dinophysis acuminata is widely distributed from cold to warm waters of both hemispheres. Its presence in the Mediterranean Sea has not been convincingly demonstrated. [details]
Harmful effect: The main agent of DSP outbreaks in European Atlantic coasts. Also associated with DSP outbreaks in NE Japan and New Zealand. In recent years, first report of DSP outbreaks associated with blooms of this species in NW (Esenkulova & Haigh 2012) and NE North America (Hattenrath-Lehmann et al. 2012).
Producer of okadaic acid (OA), dinophysis toxins (DTXs)—toxins implicated in DSP outbreaks—and pectenotoxins (PTXs). Some strains appear to produce only PTX (Nielsen et al. 2012), others only OA (Fernández et al. 2001), others DTX1 and PTX2 (Suzuki et al. 2009) or a mixture of OA, DTXs and PTXs (Miles et al. 2004).
1. Strains producing only pectenotoxins:
Denmark: Nielsen et al. 2012.
2. Strains producing only okadaic acid:
Spain: Fernández et al. 2001.
3. Strains producing DTX1 and PTX2
NE Japan: Suzuki et al. 2009
4. A mixture of OA, DTXs and PTXs
Norway: Miles et al. 2004
NE USA: Hackett et al. 2009
D. acuminata and D. acuta are the main DSP toxin producers in Europe (Reguera et al. 2012) [details]
status: D. skagii Paulsen has been observed forming couplets with D. acuminata, and is probably a 'small cell' in its life cycle (Reguera & Gonzalez-Gil 2001 and citations therein).
Dinophysis acuminata is widely distributed from cold to warm waters of both hemisphere. Its presence in the Mediterranean Sea has not been convincingly demonstrated. [details]
