Abstract
In contrast to the situation in marine environments, there are few reports of harmful freshwater dinoflagellates. The only species known to cause fish mortality is Naiadinium polonicum (formerly known as Peridiniopsis polonica or Peridinium polonicum), a common and widespread species. Allelopathic effects by freshwater dinoflagellates on other plankton are also rarely reported (see Chap. 4).
