Occurrences of HAB species in the Mediterranean

This dataset contains occurrences of HAB species in the Mediterranean found in literature.

Protoceratium reticulatum is considered uncertain in all cases when molecular or toxin data are lacking: in these cases it could be the species Pentaplacodinium saltoense/Ceratocorys mariaovidiorum. Chattonella subsalsa from Sardinia includes 2 genotypes. Pseudo-nitzschia seriata is not in in the Mediterranean Sea, all records were uploaded as \"Pseudo-nitzschia\". Ostreopsis ovata is changed to Ostreopsis cf. ovata in all records, since the type material is not available and so the proper identification of the species is not possible. Dinophysis acuminata has been considered \"probable\" since the presence of this species in the Mediterranean Sea is not clear.

本数据集包含文献中记载的地中海海域有害藻华物种（HAB, Harmful Algal Blooms）的分布记录。

Protoceratium reticulatum在所有缺乏分子或毒素数据的情况下均被视为鉴定存疑：此类情况下，该物种可能实为Pentaplacodinium saltoense/Ceratocorys mariaovidiorum。撒丁岛的Chattonella subsalsa包含两个基因型。Pseudo-nitzschia seriata并不存在于地中海海域，所有相关记录均以"Pseudo-nitzschia"之名上传。由于模式标本缺失，无法对该物种进行准确鉴定，因此所有记录中的Ostreopsis ovata均已更改为Ostreopsis cf. ovata。鉴于Dinophysis acuminata在地中海的存在情况尚不明确，其记录均被标记为"可能存在"。
