Abstract
⺠Pyrodinium bahamense is a dinoflagellate confined to subtropical and tropical waters. ⺠Two varieties (bahamense and compressum) cause blooms and produce paralytic toxins. ⺠They were observed for the first time in the southern Baja California coasts. ⺠Highest cell number observed of var. compressum suggests its first proliferation. ⺠Future proliferations of Pyrodinium bahamense could represent a risk to public health.
