Description Cells 10-12 µm long and , 5.5 µm wide, with two flagella measuring 15-16 µm in length and a haptonema 3 µm long. Two parietal chloroplasts. As in other species of Prymnesium, cells of P. zebrinum are covered with two types of elliptical scales, of which the outer type is species specific and show a pattern of 4-6 transverse bars on the distal side.  [details]

Distribution Presently known from France only [details]

Harmful effect Toxic to Artemia and therefore probably producer of the same toxin as other species of Prymnesium[details]
