ACKNOWLEDGMENTSI am greatly indebted to Drs. F.J.R. Taylor and K.A. Steidinger for introducing me to toxicdinoflagellate taxonomy and biology. The present paper represents a partial summary of theinternational Red Tide Workshop held from 18-20 June 1984 at CSIRO Marine Laboratories,Cronulla, Australia (convenor Dr. S.W. Jeffrey). This meeting was sponsored by theInter-Governmental Oceanographic Commission, the National Science Foundation (USA), theAustralian Department of Science and Technology and CSIRO Division of Fisheries Research.Additional information has been derived from the symposium session on toxic and noxious aspects ofmarine plankton at the Plankton Symposium in Shimizu, Japan, 22 July - 1 August 1984.REFERENCESADACHI, R. and FUKUYO, Y.
