| Summary: | Marine benthic dinoflagellate smainly Prarocentrumspecies have been reported to produce diarrhetic shellfish @sP)
genus Prorocentrum, toxin and this toxin can causes gastoointestinal disease in human. In identification of the
the seYeral morphological characteristics have been used ia. cellsize, omamentation of thecal plates, number ofplatelets in the periflagellar area and mode of liviug fulanktonic aid/or benthic). To date there are more tlnn 20 species of benthic Fro ro"";; tp;;". hur" been described based on these
