Abstract

Phytoplankton is a primary producer, producing oxygen for us to breathe and the foundation of the aquatic food web. However, phytoplankton can also be the harbingers of death or disease. Certain species produce harmful toxins that can kil marine life and people who eat contaminated seafood. Phytoplankton can grow ni high cel numbers and are called 'harmful algal bloom' or red tides. This book provides a common marine phytoplankton (diatoms and dinoflagellates) from the coastal waters of Malaysia which include the morphology, physiology, habitat and current applications. Each phytoplankton species is presented with taxonomic description and picture(s) to enhance the understanding ni identifying the species. Most of the taxonomic books published elsewhere documented temperate species. This is the first of its kind to provide a comprehensive tropical marine phytoplankton species that can guide those who are interested ni phytoplankton and become a standard reference for marine tropical phytoplankton.
