Dinoflagellates are the most common sources of bioluminescence at the surface of the ocean. This section describes the life history and ecology of dinoflagellates, and explains how and why they produce bioluminescence.
Red tides are conditions when a dinoflagellate population increases to such huge numbers that it discolors the water. This “bloom” may be caused by nutrient and hydrographic conditions, although the environmental conditions which result in red tides are not completely understood. For dinoflagellate red tides, the water is discolored red or brown due to as high as 20 million cells per liter. These red tides are composed primarily of one species of dinoflagellate that has been rapidly growing and accumulating.
