Description Medium to large cells (30–70 μm in length), oblong to ovoid in shape, with a tiny protrusion at the posterior end. Many chloroplasts ellipsoid and yellowish-brown. Mucocysts absent (Fukuyo et al., 1990). [details]
Harmful effect Several different toxic components produced, causing mortality of fish. Gill damage. Decrease in heart rate of fish, resulting in reduced flow of oxygen to the gills. Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are produced in large quantities and thought to be involved in the fish kills [details]
Status The nuclear ITS region of C. marina is very similar (99.9%) to that of C. antiqua, and ”suggests the need for a taxonomic review of these species” (Connell 2000). The three species C. marina, C. antiqua and C. ovata form a continuum of morphological variation. They are very similar as well in ITS (nuclear), CoxI (mitochondrial) and the large subunit of Rubisco (chloroplast gene).It has been suggested to merge them under the oldest name C. marina (Demura et al. 2009) but to retain the morphotypes as varieties:
Chattonella marina (Subrahmanyan) Y. Hara & Chihara var. marina
Chattonella marina var. antiqua (Hada) Demura & Kawachi
2009, and
Chattonella marina var. ovata (Y. Hara & Chihara) Demura & Kawachi 2009 [details]
