Description:
Like the type, but narrower. Diameter 4-7 µm. Production of auxospores bring it to same size as the type (Cupp, 1943).

Harmful Effect:
Non-toxic, but harmful bloom-forming species. Harmful effects have been recorded in 1983 within South China Sea: a large loss of fish, shrimp, and shellfish was reported, resulting in reduction of fish mariculture outputs (in one country alone, Gaoyang, 75 tons of fish-kill) (Yan et al., source: web-site).

Dimensions:
Cells length 320-480 µm; diameter 6-9 µm.

Distribution:
Coastal form, perhaps truly neritic.

Sites of occurrence in RSA:
In Winter 2006 Cruise, this species was frequently observed at various sites (refer sites map),often in large numbers; maximum abundance (4.9*10^3cells/l) was associated with the Iranian coast in the northwestern part of the inner RSA (St. 11a). It has been previously reported from Kuwaiti waters of the inner RSA (Al-Kandari et al., 2009).
