Cyclotella caspia, in Mamaia Bay. Huge quantities<br />
of adult gobies, sole, plaice and turbot juveniles<br />
were washed up on the beaches or caught in<br />
lethargic condition from the sea by fishermen.<br />
As a matter of fact, HALLEGRAFF (1995)<br />
consi<strong>de</strong>rs that species vegetating in <strong>de</strong>nsities over<br />
5∙10 6 cells∙l -1 are harmful, since phytoplankton<br />
hyperproduction leads to regular violations of the<br />
ecosystem carrying capacity and severe economic<br />
losses to aquaculture, fisheries and tourism<br />
operations [9].<br />
However, some of algal species wi<strong>de</strong>ly<br />
distributed at the Romanian coastal waters, such as<br />
Chaetoceros socialis, C. curvisetus, Dichtyocha<br />
speculum, Ceratium fusus, can seriously damage<br />
fish gills, either mechanically or through<br />
production of hemolytic substances. Other ones,<br />
such as P. minimum, Dinophysis acuta,<br />
D. acuminata, D, sacculus, D. rotundata,<br />
M. aeruginosa are consi<strong>de</strong>red potentially toxic<br />
species, having the capacity to produce potent<br />
toxins, like DSP (diarrheic shellfish poisoning),<br />
that through the food chain could cause a variety of<br />
gastrointestinal illness to humans [9].<br />
The relationship between anthropogenic<br />
activities and changes in phytoplankton<br />
composition and diversity is one of the main<br />
objectives proposed in Harmful Algal Blooms<br />
research. Long time series of phytoplankton<br />
community storage in the NIMRD data base should<br />
be reconsi<strong>de</strong>red related to HAB increase.<br />
