Marine dinoflagellates, one of the most important components in
phytoplankton are receiving much attention owing to their toxicity.
They are responsible for causing toxic blooms and associated
poisonings such as Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP), Neurotoxic
shellfish poisoning (NSP), Diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP),
Azaspiracid shellfish poisoning (ASP) and Ciguatera fish poisoning
(CFP) in humans all over the world. However, recent research has
shown that such toxins could be of great use therapeutically.
Aspects such as the identification of dinoflagellate species;
harmful dinoflagelllate blooms and associated poisonings as well as
their bioluminescence and biotechnological applications have been
dealt with in detail. A comprehensive book on marine
dinoflagellates is hitherto wanted and needed, and it is hoped that
the present publication would cater to the needs of students of
life science disciplines in general and marine biology and
fisheries science disciplines in particular.
