Identification of marine sand-dwelling dinoflagellates in Dinawan Island, Sabah

Identification of marine sand-dwelling species is important due to the toxin-producing abilities of some species that may harm human beings. In this study, sand samples were collected for 12 months at Dinawan Island, Sabah. Samples were identified using light microscopy (LM) and Scanning Electron Mi...
