A database of marine phytoplankton abundance, biomass and species composition in Australian waters [PDF]
There have been many individual phytoplankton datasets collected across Australia since the mid 1900s, but most are unavailable to the research community.

Ciguatera Fish Poisoning: The Risk from an Aotearoa/New Zealand Perspective
Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa species have been identified in Aotearoa/New Zealand’s coastal waters and G. polynesiensis, a known producer of ciguatoxins, has been isolated from Rangitāhua/Kermadec Islands (a New Zealand territory).

Evolutionary distinctiveness of fatty acid and polyketide synthesis in eukaryotes [PDF]
© 2016 International Society for Microbial Ecology All rights reserved. Fatty acids, which are essential cell membrane constituents and fuel storage molecules, are thought to share a common evolutionary origin with polyketide toxins in eukaryotes.

Gambierdiscus toxicus,a ciguatera-causing dinoflagellate from Hawaii.
Wild cells of Gambierdiscus toxicus, the alleged causative organism of ciguatera, were collected on the Island of Oahu and their toxicity established. The largest population was found in association with the red alga Spyridia filamentosa. Two toxic prnciples seem to exist in the organism: one was ciguatoxin-like, and the other maitotoxin-like, as shown

Relationship of Organic Material with Abundance of Toxic Benthic Dinoflagellata on Sediment in Waters of Teluk Bakau Village Bintan Regency, Riau Island Province [PDF]
Dinoflagellata was included in one of microalgae groups which are on waters of the sea and the river, it can be found on detritus floats, sediments, and also swim freely. This research done on May – June 2018 at waters of the mangrove bay village, Bintan

Progressive and biased divergent evolution underpins the origin and diversification of peridinin dinoflagellate plastids [PDF]
Dinoflagellates are algae of tremendous importance to ecosystems and to public health. The cell biology and genome organization of dinoflagellate species is highly unusual.

Growth and Toxin Production of Gambierdiscus spp. Can Be Regulated by Quorum-Sensing Bacteria
Gambierdiscus spp. are the major culprit responsible for global ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP). At present, the effects of microbiological factors on algal proliferation and toxin production are poorly understood.

The Abundance of Toxic Dinoflagellate Gambierdiscus SP, Ostereopsis SP and Prorocentrum SP on Seagrass Leaf Thalassia SP From the Nirwana Beach West Sumatera Province [PDF]
Dinoflagellate is a group of monocelullar microalga prossesing of double flagel. This organism can be found in a subtropic and also in a tropic marine water.

Toxicology of Gambierdiscus spp. (Dinophyceae) from Tropical and Temperate Australian Waters [PDF]
Ciguatera Fish Poisoning (CFP) is a human illness caused by the consumption of marine fish contaminated with ciguatoxins (CTX) and possibly maitotoxins (MTX), produced by species from the benthic dinoflagellate genus Gambierdiscus. Here, we describe the identity and toxicology of Gambierdiscus spp.
