Global trends in the occurrence, toxicity and risk posed by harmful algal blooms to natural systems, human health coastal economies are poorly constrained, but widely thought be increasing due climate change nutrient pollution. Here, we conduct a statistical analysis on global dataset extracted from Harmful Algae Event Database Ocean Biodiversity Information System for period 1985-2018 investigate temporal frequency distribution of marine blooms. We find no uniform trend number events their...
As a part of monitoring program harmful microalgae in the coastal waters Buenos Aires Province, two strains chain-forming Gymnodinium species (Dinophyceae), LPCc043 and LPCc044, were isolated from samples collected Samborombón Bay. This study aims to provide morphological, phylogenetic toxicological characterization strains. Among marine species, only G. catenatum impudicum are known form algal blooms (HAB). Morphological analysis with light electron scanning microscopy (LM, SEM) revealed...

El...
This study describes the diversity of species belonging to diatom families Thalassionemataceae Round and Rhaphoneidaceae Forti frequently found in temperate marine coastal waters Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, from October 1994 September 2000.It comprises morphological, taxonomic distributional analysis planktonic samples collected at San Clemente del Tuyú, Santa Teresita, La Lucila Mar, Mar de Ajó, Nueva Atlantis, Pinamar Villa Gesell.Raw cleaned were analysed with light scanning...
Dinophysis spp.
A partir de un monitoreo microalgas toxígenas y toxinas en moluscos iniciado 2008, llevado a cabo entre San Clemente del Tuyú Mar Azul (Zona Norte) la Bahía Anegada Sur) Provincia Buenos Aires fueron registrados cuatro brotes toxicidad por toxina paralizante (PSP) ocho lipofílicas (DSP/no determinadas). Los resultados obtenidos empleados como herramienta técnica dela cual autoridad aplicación (Dirección Provincial Pesca Ministerio Asuntos Agrarios Aires) fundó decisión imponer once vedas una...
The morphology and taxonomy of species the genera Cocconeis Ehrenberg Psammococconeis Garcia from Gulf San Matías (Patagonia, Argentina) is documented in present study. A total 16 taxa one were found surface net hauls taken shallow coastal waters Gulf. fluminensis var. fluminensis, C. subimpleta, guttata, peltoides neothumensis marina are new records for southwestern Atlantic Ocean.
Colonies that could be identified as Thalassiosira rotula, others gravida and colonies with a mixture of the valve structures these two species were found coexisting in same samples from Piedras Coloradas (40°50′46″S, 65°06′18″W). Net collected surface water at several stations northern area San Matías Gulf Río Negro Province, Argentina, April 1998 to May 2000 March 2006 2007. Untreated cleaned diatom examined using light scanning electron microscopy. The differential features used...
This study deals with the morphology, taxonomy and distribution of species belonging to diatom genus Thalassiosira found in marine waters along northern coast San Matias Gulf, Argentina. Net samples were collected from surface layer water column at Punta Orengo, Las Garzas, Banco Reparo, Los Alamos, Grutas, Piedras Coloradas, Bajo de Oliveira El Fuerte April 1998 February 2000. Untreated cleaned examined by light scanning electron microscopy. Eighteen taxa identified. T. frenguelliopsis is...
Abstract The present paper describes the morphology, taxonomy, and distribution of species belonging to diatom genera Rhizosolenia s. str., Neocalyptrella, Pseudosolenia Proboscia, found in marine coastal waters Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. phytoplankton samples were collected from October 1994 September 2000 at seven locations analyzed by light scanning electron microscopy. antennata f. antennata, R. bergonii, hyalina, imbricata, setigera setigera, pungens, Neocalyptrella robusta,...
In the framework of a monitoring program harmful microalgae from marine coastal waters Buenos Aires Province, seven strains were isolated and characterized by morphological molecular analysis (LSU rDNA partial sequencing, D1–D3 regions). Established belonged to Alexandrium catenella, Protoceratium reticulatum Pseudo-nitzschia multiseries. The toxinological profile target determined UHPLC-FLD equipment for paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) LC-MS/MS lipophilic (LSTs) amnesic (ASTs). toxin...
Diatoms responsible for harmful events in other geographic areas, found the coastal waters of San Matías Gulf (Río Negro Province, Argentina), were studied.Materials collected two sampling stations related to natural banks and cultures bivalves: Las Grutas Piedras Coloradas.Two potentially toxigenic taxa 18 non found.Despite that some these occasionally abundant plankton area, none them caused evident discolorations or detectable effects during study period.
While conducting surveys of marine phytoplankton from coastal waters the Anegada Bay (Province Buenos Aires, Argentina) we found several eupodiscoid diatoms belonging to genus Odontella sensu lato. Raw and cleaned samples collected at Los Pocitos, Ría del Jabalí San Blas between 2008 2010, were analyzed with light scanning electron microscopy. Based on a morphological analysis, species loculate areolae ocellus-bearing elevations are included in genera Trieres (T. mobiliensis T. sinensis)...
In the framework of a phytoplankton and biotoxin monitoring program implemented since 2008 in marine coastal waters Buenos Aires Province (Argentina), gymnodinioid, photosynthetic dinoflagellate was isolated from sample collected Santa Teresita, establishing strain LPCc007. The identified as belonging to psammophilic genus Togula by light microscopy based on following distinctive characters: morphology cell dorso-ventrally flattened, course cingulum, highly asymmetric, descending, with its...

DOI: 10.2216/09-03.1The present study is devoted to the morphology, taxonomy distribution of Ehrenberg Ehrenberg. was erected by on basis sediment material collected from Richmond, Virginia. Subsequently, several authors considered this taxon a synonym C. radiatus. An examination type carried out scanning electron microscopy lecto- epitype were chosen....
The type material of seven taxa Pleurosigma W.
