Description Lens-shaped, anterio-posteriorly compressed. Thecal surface smooth, covered with evenly distributed fine pores. Apical pore plate oval containing fish-hook shaped pore. The 1p plate is comparatively narrow. 3’ plate is rectangular. The ratio of the 2’/2’’ suture length to the 2’/4’’ suture length is 0.69. [details]
Harmful effect Producer of maitotoxin (MTX-1, MTX5), 44-methylgambierone (Murray et al. 2019; Estevez et al. 2020). The toxin has been shown to accumulate in carnivorous fish tissues such as snapper (Pagrus auratus)(in viscera, liver, muscle) when the fish was fed mullet injected with Gambierdiscus (Kohli et al. 2014) [details]From other sources
