A small thecate dinoflagellate was encountered during winter and spring in the phytoplankton community of a shallow, brackish and hypertrophic pond in the South of France. The abundance of material permitted its identification, using scanning electron microscopy, as Oblea rotunda Balech ex Sournia. However, morphological features showed some discrepancies with the typical characteristics of O. rotunda. Environmental hydrographic parameters in the pond were very different from marine ecosystems where O. rotunda is usually reported. In this polluted and alkaline pond, salinity was low, ranging from 1.1 to 6.2 p.s.u.; the maximum densities of O. rotunda (greater than 1 × 105 cells l - 1) were observed at temperatures around 13°C, after a Cylindrotheca closterium - Heterocapsa rotundata bloom in early spring. These two species and other abundant taxa of the phytoplankton had seasonal patterns that could explain the presence of O. rotunda, since they could have been a food for this heterotrophic species. As this population showed most of the morphological criteria of O. rotunda, but with some variability and a different ecology, it is better considered as a variant of the marine species, rather than as a new species. This study provides additional data on the ecological and morphological features of this poorly known small peridinioid species, previously only reported from open seas and oceans. |
