Answer 2

Explanation:

a)red tides by protistans b)red algae like sargassum c)blue green algae like trichodesmium

The seaweed—a type of brown algae called sargassum—had grown in the ocean and washed ashore in unprecedented quantities. ... In normal years, sargassum is a blessing rather than a curse. Mats of it drift around the ocean, held afloat by gas-filled bladders that look like grapes

Trichodesmium. Trichodesmium are cyanobacteria (blue−green algae) that appear naturally in tropical and subtropical ocean waters and are commonly known as sea sawdust, whale food and sea scum. Trichodesmium is a member of the phytoplankton family. It plays an important role in the aquatic food chain.

Gonyaulax spinifera has been connected to the production of yessotoxins (YTXs), a group of structurally related polyether toxins, which can accumulate in shellfish and produce symptoms similar to those produced by paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) toxins.
