Cochlodinium polykrikoides is a red tide producing marine dinoflagellate known for causing fish kills around the world, and well known for fish kills in marine waters of Southeast Asia.[2][3]
Massive blooms
In late 2008 and early 2009 (November–February) there was a massive bloom of Cochlodinium polykrikoides in the Sea of Oman, off the coast of Oman in the Arabian Sea.[4][5] It was notable for being based on Cochlodinium polykrikoides rather than the Noctiluca scintillans (Noctiluca miliaris) that had been more usual in the immediately previous years.[6][7] The bloom resulted in massive dying off of fish, damage to coral reefs, and interference with desalinization plants.[7]
