Harmful effect Prorocentrum lima has been found to produce the Diarrhetic Shellfish Poisoning (DSP) toxins: okadaic acid (Murakami et al. 1982), DTX-1 (Lee et al. 1989), DTX-2 (Hu et al. 1993), in addition to a prorocentrolide (Torigoe et al. 1988) and a Fast Acting Toxin (FAT) (Tindall et al. 1984). [details]

Identification Similar species: P. consutum, P. maculosum. Remarks: A wide range of morphological variability has been reported for P. lima. It appears to contain cryptic diversity and the proposal by Aligizaki et al. (2009) to refer to it as the “P. lima complex” should be followed.

Description Almost round to oblong oval to ovoid cells with striking pyrenoid with starch sheath (visible as ring) in the centre of the cell. Ovoid is the most common cell shape. Smooth thecal surface with scattered large (round, ovoid, or kidneyshaped) pores and a marginal row of large (round or ovoid) pores. Plate centre devoid of pores. The periflagellar area is wide Vshaped, with collar and platelet lists adjacent to the pores in some cells. Eight platelets. The oval nucleus is posterior.  [details]

Harmful effect Prorocentrum lima has been found to produce the Diarrhetic Shellfish Poisoning (DSP) toxins: okadaic acid (Murakami et al. 1982), DTX-1 (Lee et al. 1989), DTX-2 (Hu et al. 1993), in addition to a prorocentrolide (Torigoe et al. 1988) and a Fast Acting Toxin (FAT) (Tindall et al. 1984). [details]

Identification Similar species: P. consutum, P. maculosum. Remarks: A wide range of morphological variability has been reported for P. lima. It appears to contain cryptic diversity and the proposal by Aligizaki et al. (2009) to refer to it as the “P. lima complex” should be followed.

or check out this key: https://keys.lucidcentral.org/keys/v4/prorocentrum/  [details]

Synonymy Various taxa have been regarded by various authors as taxonomical synonyms of P. lima, e.g, Exuviaella marina Cienkowski 1881; Dinopyxis laevis Stein 1883, Exuviaella chathamensis Lemmermann 1907; Exuviaella cincta Schiller 1918; Exuviaella ostenfeldii Schiller 1931; Exuviaella caspica Kisselev 1940 and their respective nomenclatural synonyms. Note that several papers in which P. lima or one of the synonyms have been used, do not deal with this species, concluded on the figures included. [details]
