|
| Additional location information: | Time series monitoring indicates that A. lagunensis commonly occurs in IRL phytoplankton assemblages. Increased abundance was observed at the end of 2015 and by March 2016, this organism dominates a bloom that extends through much of the northern and cent | |

| Causative organism known: | Yes | |
| Causative Species/Genus: |
Aureoumbra lagunensis
(>200,000,000 cells/L)
mixed assemblage observed in some samples dominated by A. lagunensis |
|
| Co-Ocurring Species/Genus: | ||
| Chlorophyll concentration, if known: | µg/l | |
| Additional bloom information: | brown tide cannot be definitively identified by light microscopy so the actual count we produce refers to nanoplankton abundance (this is why a specific number is not provided) | |
