Yes.
What happens to fish that are exposed to pfiesteria?
Pfiesteria piscicida then feeds on the weak and exposed skin, blood, and tissue. The fish eventually die not by the invasion of Pfiesteria piscicida, but by suffocation (the toxins cause paralyzation of muscles) or by infection (bacteria and foreign objects can enter the fish through the lesions).
What nutrient sources might contribute to the problem of being linked to pfiesteria?
Nutrient sources that can contribute to the problem of Pfiesteria include nitrogen and phosphorus from agricultural runoff, wastewater discharge, and stormwater. These nutrients can lead to eutrophication in aquatic ecosystems, creating conditions that favor the growth of harmful algal blooms, including Pfiesteria. Additionally, excess nutrients can disrupt the balance of marine life, further exacerbating the problem. Proper management of nutrient sources is crucial to mitigate the impacts of Pfiesteria and protect aquatic health.

Is Dinoflagella eukaryotic or prokaryotic?
