LSID urn:lsid:algaebase.org:taxname:47066 [details]From regional or thematic species database
Description Large, robust cell with a rounded dorsal curvature and a posterior broad V-shaped lateral profile. The left sulcal list extends about two-thirds of the body length and ends at or above the deepest portion of the cell below the midpoint. The R3 is at or above this point. Surface with areolations; type E. [details]
Habitat Neritic temperate water species. Associated with stratified waters in late summer-autumn, and with downwelling events in upwelling systems. [details]
Harmful effect The main agent of DSP outbreaks in Chile (Lembeye et al. 1993). A bloom of D. acuta in Chile in 1972 was the first case of a Dinophysis bloom associated with a diarrhetic outbreak, but the event was not reported to the international community until 1991 (Lembeye et al. 1993) following the description of the DSP syndrome by Yasumoto et al. (1978).
The most important DSP agent (after D. acuminata) in Atlantic European coastal waters (in particular Norway, Sweden, Ireland, Portugal and Spain) and in New Zealand.
Most strains produce diarrhetic shellfish toxins (OA, DTX1 and/or DTX2) and pectenotoxins (PTX2 and PTX11 or PTX12) (Fernández-Puente et al. 2004; Miles et al. 2004; MacKenzie et al. 2005; Pizarro et al. 2009; Nielsen et al. 2013), but strains with a simpler profile (e.g. with only PTX2) may occasionally occur (Fernández et al. 2006).
[details]
Identification D. acuta can be easily confused with D. norvegica. The distinction between the two species can be made by determining whether the deepest portion of the cell is two-thirds the cell length or one-half and determining the length of the left sulcal list in relation to the cell length.

Introduced species impact Chinese part of the Yellow Sea (Marine Region) Other impact - undefined or uncertain (Bloom forming) [details]
Introduced species impact Chinese part of the Yellow Sea (Marine Region) Human health (Toxic) [details]
Introduced species vector dispersal Chinese part of the Yellow Sea (Marine Region) Ships: General [details]Unreviewed
Diet general for group: both heterotrophic (eat other organisms) and autotrophic (photosynthetic) [details]
Distribution neritic and oceanic; cold temperate waters worldwide [details]
Habitat pelagic [details]
Importance General: known for producing dangerous toxins, particularly when in large numbers, called "red tides" because the cells are so abundant they make water change color. Also they can produce non-fatal or fatal amounts of toxins in predators (particularly shellfish) that may be eaten by humans. [details]
Predators marine microorganisms and animal larvae [details]
Publication date Listed as 1839 on algaebase. [details]
Reproduction general for group: both sexual and asexual [details]
