摘要

Abstract

Benthic dinoflagellates have attracted increasing attention in recent years because of their toxicity and ability to form extensive harmful algal blooms.

Ostreopsis

producing palytoxin and its analogs

Gambierdiscus

producing ciguatera toxins

and

Prorocentrum

producing okadaic acid and dinophysis toxins

have been concerned as serious human poisonings. We explored the benthic dinoflagellate biodiversity and distribution characteristics of a series of tropical reefs in 20–40-m water depth in wet season in the Zhongsha Islands in South China Sea using morphological

phylogenetic

and cell counting methods. Results show that benthic dinoflagellates in the islands are rich in biodiversity and 15 species from genera

Amphidinium

Coolia

Ostreopsis

and

Prorocentrum

were identified:

Amphidinium carterae

A. magnum

A. massartii

A. operculatum

Coolia canariensis

C. malayensis

C. palmyrensis

C. tropicalis

Ostreopsis cf. ovata

Prorocentrum concavum

P. cf. sculptile

P. emarginatum

P. hoffmannianum

P. lima

and

P. rhathymum. Among them

A. magnum

is reported for the first time in Chinese waters. The abundance of benthic dinoflagellates was relatively low at 88–4 345 cells/100 cm

on sediment and 10–91 cells/g on macroalgae.

Prorocentrum

and

Amphidinium

were the dominant and subdominant genera

respectively. It is speculated that the low abundance of benthic dinoflagellates is closely related to the scarcity of macroalgae and stronger water motion at the depth

15 m in Zhongsha Islands. This study expanded the study in biodiversity of benthic dinoflagellates in Chinese waters

and revealed the distribution characteristics of harmful benthic microalgae in reef habitats.
