Description Medium-sized cells (23–34 μm long, 24–26 μm wide), very dorso-ventrally flattened (10–15 μm deep), with a convex dorsal side and a concave ventral side. Rounded epicone with a prominent bulbous apical protrusion. Hypocone notched and slightly bilobed. Cingulum slightly displaced. Sulcus extending onto the epicone. Numerous yellow-green chloroplasts. Spherical nucleus located in the left side of the hypocone. Apical groove extending a little onto the dorsal epicone. (Davis, 1948; Steidinger and Baden, 1984; Haywood et al., 2004). Taxonomically, Gymnodinium brevis was renamed G. breve in the 1960s. Later on, the genus name was changed to Ptychodiscus (Steidinger), later moved back to G. breve and finally to Karenia brevis in 2000. [details]
Harmful effect Marine animal mortalities, NSP, respiratory irritation [details]
