Abstract：
The dinoflagellate Noctiluca scintillans is often reported as a worldwide HAB species and caused severe financial losses to local aquaculture. In this review, we summarized the temporal and geographical distribution of its HABs in China, as well as its position in the plankton structure. Increasing N. scintillans HABs, both frequency and coverage, have broken out in almost all Chinese coastal regions mainly from April to June, with short-term and small coverage blooms as the primary type. The HAB period seems to shift with age and latitude. Recently, increasing abundance and dominance of N. scintillans were also reported in plankton communities in Chinese coastal waters, with multiple environmental factors related. In particular, trophic relationships may play an important role in its dominance and outbreaks of HABs. However, how N. scintillans became a dominant species in China and the mechanisms responsible for its HABs require further study.
摘要：
据报道，鞭毛藻夜光藻通常是全球HAB物种，对当地水产养殖造成了严重的经济损失。在这次审查中,我们总结了其在中国的HABs的时间和地理分布，以及它在浮游生物结构中的位置。增加N.闪烁体HAB，频率和覆盖范围，主要在4月至6月在中国几乎所有沿海地区爆发，以短期和小覆盖开花为主要类型。HAB时期似乎随着年龄和纬度而变化。最近,在中国沿海水域的浮游生物群落中，也有闪烁夜蛾的丰度和优势度不断提高的报道，与多个环境因素相关。特别是,营养关系可能在其优势和HABs爆发中起重要作用。然而,闪烁奈瑟菌是如何成为中国的优势物种以及其HABs的机制需要进一步研究。
