- Abstract
The article discusses the study on the possible toxic effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by Cochlodinium polykrikoides on damselfish. The study conducted bioassays of damselfish using a strand of C. polykrikoides dinoflagellate, which demonstrated high mortality exposure after all the fishes died in 90 minutes. It also mentions that the exact toxic mechanism is not yet determined although possibilities of fish killing activity of C. polykrikoides was affirmed by the experiments.
