Abstract

In this paper the distribution of the dinoflagellate Spatulodinium pseudonoctiluca in different areas of the Mexican Pacific is depicted based on samples gathered during 2005-2010. This species is first recorded for Bahí­a de los Ángeles, Loreto and Bahí­a de Mazatlán in the Gulf of California, and in the southwest portion of the Mexican Pacific at Bahí­a de Acapulco, Guerrero and Salina Cruz, Oaxaca. This species appears in the study area mainly during the winter-spring period. The mature cells of S. pseudonoctiluca range from 100-173 μm in length and 89-120 μm in width. Cell size of the gymnodiniod stages observed in Bahí­a de La Paz ranged from 90 to 190 μm in length.
