More frequent events and geographic expansion of benthic harmful algal blooms have been reported in recent years. An unexpected bloom of benthic P. concavum occurred in Xincun Bay, Hainan Island, the South China Sea was monitored in August 2018. Species

Approximately 70 species of Prorocentrum are known, of which around 30 species are associated with benthic habitats. Some produce okadaic acid (OA), dinophysistoxin (DTX) and their derivatives, which are involved in diarrhetic shellfish poisoning. In

Prorocentrum micans is an extremely variable dinoflagellate species, with many different local forms reported worldwide. Because of this morphological diversity, it is important to establish whether these various forms belong to P. micans sensu stricto.
