Worldwide increases in the frequency and spatial extent of blooms of harmfulmarine microalgae and heterotrophic dinoflagellates suggest that these species are becomingan increasingly important influence on year class strength of marine fishes through bothdirect and indirect mechanisms. Impacts on fish populations from harmful marine microalgaeand heterotrophic dinoflagellates have been considered primarily from the limited view ofacute or lethal influences. Accumulating evidence indicates that insidious sublethal andchronic impacts to both fish and human health from these organisms, such as long-termbehavior alteration, increased susceptibility to cancers and other diseases, depressed feeding,and impaired reproduction, may be substantial and pervasive. For some harmful species,significant indirect impacts that promote critical habitat loss or disrupt the microbial foodweb balance also have been documented. Because successful models to predict the behaviorand growth of most of these species have not yet been developed, and because toxins formany are poorly characterized, a clear anthropocentric focus has guided management strat-egies for confronting their outbreaks.
