In the Lafayette River, a sub-tributary of the lower Chesapeake Bay, one of the species of dinoflagellates responsible for HABs is Margalefidinium polykrikoides (formerly Cochlodinium polykrikoides). To determine which form nitrogen stimulates the growth of dinoflagellates, nutrient enrichment bioassays were conducted.
