| Summary: | Phytoplan11on is an important organism in the aquatic ecosystem as a
primary producer. However, some species of phytoplankton also causes red
tides or harmful algal blooms (HAB) which lead to negative impacts on
human health, economics, aquaculture, fisheries and tourism. In this study,
dinoflagellates, the main causative organism of red tides, were identified and
enumerated from samples taken at Sebatu and Sungai Rambai, Malacca. In
the identification of dinoflagellates, thecal plate tabulation and morphological
characters of the cells were observed by light and electron microscopy.Thirty
four species of dinoflageRates were identified, which consists of 10 potential
HAB species viz. |
