Need help in phytoplankton identification: this round-shaped thing was seen under 40* objective: sample collected during a red tide at early summer of the east china sea, at a density of about 4* 105 / L, dominant species co-identified was Gonyaulax spinifera (color of tide was rather light, with large amount of foam)
Dear Dr.Zhang,
Sorry to say that the picture is not very clear and my guess is that it could be Noctiluca
Would you like to have a look at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/280158153_Villain_behind_the_green_tide
Good luck!

Dear Dr Zhang,
It is true the photo was not clear. and the scale was missed. could you pls tell me the cell size of this cell? By the color and shape, I thought it was one of dinoflagellate but it was not noctiluca. I had found the nocticula in coastal of Eart China Sea. could u pls offer more photos with different view?
