Abstract
Although red tides are typically formed by dinoflagellate blooms aloricate ciliates in the genus Mesodinium also produce striking red blooms throughout the world In midMarch 2015 we confirmed the occurrence of dense blooms of Mesodinium major in Lough Hyne Marine Nature Reserve a fully marine sea lough in County Cork SW Ireland Daytime aggregations of these highly mobile ciliates occurred in the surface and subsurface waters of the lough particularly along the western shore and in the Goleen Finescale comparisons of dissolved oxygen DO and water temperature values indicated that the surface water supporting dense blooms was slightly but significantly more oxygenated and warmer than closely juxtaposed water without visible blooms Coarsescale comparisons however showed no significant difference in DO or temperature between bloom and nonbloom areas although there were highly significant differences in the two parameters by water depth and location within the lough Although this is the first formal report of redwater ciliate blooms for Lough Hyne and County Cork it is not the first known occurrence earlier spring red tides at the lough were assumed probably in error to be caused solely or primarily by dinoflagellates and/or loricate ciliates tintinnidsValuable discussions with T Kearney and C Little improved this research We thank D O’Donnell and P Graham for kindly issuing us scientific research permits to survey at Lough Hyne We gratefully acknowledge the valuable comments made by C Little D Crawford and an anonymous reviewer on previous versions of this manuscript This material is based upon work supported by the US National Science Foundation under Grant No 0211186 Any opinions findings and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation
