\nToxins and toxicity<\/strong><\/p>\nIts toxin production and toxicity are not known. In a recent study, three strains of <\/span>Heterocapsa<\/span><\/i> were isolated from a toxic HAB event in Fujian, China, including <\/span>H. <\/span><\/i>cf.<\/span> niei<\/span><\/i>. All three strains were found to be hemolytic, and all caused significant mortality of Artemia salina (Wu et al., 2022). Meanwhile, <\/span>Heterocapsa pygmae<\/span><\/i>, a species morphologically similar to <\/span>H. niei<\/span><\/i>, is known to be toxic (Hernandez-Becerril et al., 2010). <\/span><\/p>\n
\nDistribution and Occurrence<\/strong><\/p>\nCoastal and marine<\/span>. <\/b>In this study, it was detected abundant in PGD-2 in August 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n
