SUMMARY We investigated a harmful algal bloom ( HAB ) associated with the massive fish kills in J ohor S trait, M alaysia, which recurred year after first incident 2014. This has urged for need to have rapid and precise method monitoring. In this study, we develop SYBR green‐based real‐time PCR (q detect culpable dinoflagellate species, Karlodinium australe . Species‐specific q primers were designed gene region of second internal transcribed spacer ribosomal RNA (r DNA ). The species...
SUMMARY Resting cysts of harmful marine dinoflagellates, including Alexandrium species, play an important role in their bloom dynamics, where massive cyst germination is regarded as the natural phenomenon that initiates blooms. The life cycle minutum from temperate region has been intensively studied, however, related studies on its tropical counterparts are scarce. In this study, sexual reproduction a toxigenic A. (tropical Pacific ribotype) was investigated laboratory setting. Gamete...
The first recorded bloom of Karenia mikimotoi (initially Gymnodinium mikimotoi) occurred off the coast Japan in 1934, causing mass mortality shellfish and fish. This event highlighted devastating impact K. blooms marked a turning point harmful algal (HAB) research, driving studies on its identification, biology, toxicology, effects marine life ecosystems. past reported events Southeast Asia have raised public concerns, leading to further investigation into occurrence geographical...
Mass mortality of fish (∼8,500 fishes), mainly Oreochromis placidus, was noted in a man-made lake located at Kuching, Sarawak (Malaysia). A field investigation conducted to collect water samples and fishes. Patches discoloration brick red were observed the clear oil layer found on surface water. Microscopic observation enumeration showed that plankton composition dominated by green algal species Botryococcus sp., with colony densities ranging 1.2×103–7.4×106 colonies L−1. Detailed...
