Notes  Distribution: Cold-temperate water species. Forms very dense blooms in the Baltic Sea associated with the pycnocline (Carpenter et al. 1995)
Very dense blooms in eastern Canada associated with mild DSP outbreaks (Subba Rao et al. 1993).

Harmful effect: HPLC analyses of Norwegian strains in Lee et al. (1989) had OA (0-0.8) and DTX1 (2.5-14 pg/cell), but HPLC analyses of net hauls with dominance of D. norvegica revealed high content of OA (32.6 + 5 pg/cell) (Cembella 1989).
Most recent analyses by LC-MS have shown that Norwegian strains had PTX2 (0.3-2 pg/cell) and PTX12 (0.1-20.4 pg/cell), and in some cases, traces of OA (Miles et al. 2004).
Japanese strains only contained high levels of PTX2 (51-67 pg/cell) (Suzuki et al. 2009).
