Heterocapsa bohaiensis sp. nov. (Peridiniales: Dinophyceae): a novel marine dinoflagellate from the Liaodong Bay of Bohai Sea, China

Characterization and inter-strain variability in ichthyotoxicity of Heterocapsa ovata (Peridiniales, Dinophyceae) from temperate waters of South Australia

“…Blooms of H. circularisquama in Japan led to substantial mortality among cultured and wild bivalve mollusks in the late 1980s, significantly impacting the local bivalve culture industry, particularly the pearl oyster sector (Matsuyama, 1999(Matsuyama, , 2012. Of the 26 currently described Heterocapsa species, only three have been confirmed to harm shellfish mollusks (Matsuyama, 1999(Matsuyama, , 2012Yang et al, 2015;Xiao et al, 2018;Hanifah et al, 2022). The second toxigenic species, H. bohaiensis, affected the aquaculture industries of prawns (Panaeus japonicus) and Chinese mitten-handed crabs (Eriocheir sinensis) in China (Yang et al, 2015;Xiao et al, 2018).…”

The third one, H. borneoensis, showed a toxic effect in a cytotoxicity assay on brine shrimps (Artemia nauplii) (Hanifah et al, 2022).…”

Protection of marine species diversity in China

“…For this reason, Acta Oceanologica Sinica (AOS) organize this special issue of the marine taxonomy and new records, to help on covering as many marine new species and records done by Chinese taxonomists as possible. We report a series of new species and records from Chinese coastlines, offshores, high seas and the adjacent West Pacific and eastern Indian Ocean, including marine cyanobacteria (Zhang et al, 2018c), dinoflagellates (Hu et al, 2018;Xiao et al, 2018), Haptophyta (Zhang et al, 2018d), diatoms (Li et al, 2018a, green alga (Ding et al, 2018), foraminifera (Lei and Li, 2018;Sun, 2018a), ostracods (Du et al, 2018b), ciliates (Chen and Xu, 2018;Sun, 2018b), trichodinids (Zhan et al, 2018), jellyfish (Aungtonya et al, 2018;Du et al, 2018a;Guo et al, 2018b;Wang et al, 2018b), polychaeta (Lin et al, 2018;Sui and Li, 2018;Sun et al, 2018b;Wang and Li, 2018;Wu andXu, 2018), nematodes (Fu et al, 2018;Guo et al, 2018a;Huang et al, 2018;Shi et al, 2018;Sun et al, 2018a) al., 2018b), isopoda (Belattmania et al, 2018), copepods (Liu et al, 2018;Ma andLi, 2018), chiton (Wang et al, 2018c), shrimps (Gan and Li, 2018), Gastropoda (Chen and Zhang, 2018), microzooplankton (Li et al, 2018b), and mesozooplankton (Wang et al, 2018a). This is the first special issue on marine taxonomy in AOS, we hope it can receive more public attention and encouragement on marine taxonomic studies in China.…”
