1 Species composition and long-term dynamics of potentially toxic dinoflagellate species in benthic assemblages of Peter the Great Bay, Sea of Japan Marina Selina & Tatiana Morozova National Scientific Center of Marine Biology Far Eastern Brunch of Russian Academy of Sciences Vladivostok, Russia

2 Introduction Benthic dinoflagellates include about 190 species and 45 genera. About 60 species of all dinoflagellates can produce various toxins. Among them 30 species are benthic. Recently the study of benthic dinos focuses on the species diversity. Abundance, temporal and spatial changes are known mainly for epiphytic communities, which is basically connected with the ciguatera. Information about sand-dwelling dinos are limited by some areas of World Ocean. The present work represents the species composition, long-term dynamics and the maximum abundance of benthic dinoflagellates in Peter the Great Bay (Sea of Japan) including toxic species 2

17 Conclusions The species richness of benthic dinoflagellates in Peter the Great Bay exceeds that of many parts of the World Ocean. Potentially toxic dinoflagellates are constant and abundant in the epiphyton during the summer-autumn period.
