Description Cells of D. sacculus are long and oval with a rounded posterior. This Dinophysis species is typically sack-like in shape and highly variable in dorso-ventral depth. 40–60 μm in length and 20–40 μm in dorso-ventral depth. A short left sulcal list (about 1/2 length of the cell) extends midway down the hypotheca. Occasionally cells are found with a few small blunt spines on the posterior end. Thecal surface covered with small unevenly distributed pores; however, the surface texture can vary from completely smooth to coarsely areolated. Pores are not found in the megacytic zone. A specific kidney-shaped curvature of the cell is observed for D. sacculus in Corsican lagoons: this form is referred to as Dinophysis sp. (Zingone et al., 1998).  [details]

Distribution Dinophysis sacculus is rather common along the Mediterranean and North Atlantic coasts, especially in in semi-enclosed basins, estuaries and lagoons. It has rarely been recorded outside this area. [details]

Description Cells of D. sacculus are long and oval with a rounded posterior. This Dinophysis species is typically sack-like in shape and highly variable in dorso-ventral depth. 40–60 μm in length and 20–40 μm in dorso-ventral depth. A short left sulcal list (about 1/2 length of the cell) extends midway down the hypotheca. Occasionally cells are found with a few small blunt spines on the posterior end. Thecal surface covered with small unevenly distributed pores; however, the surface texture can vary from completely smooth to coarsely areolated. Pores are not found in the megacytic zone. A specific kidney-shaped curvature of the cell is observed for D. sacculus in Corsican lagoons: this form is referred to as Dinophysis sp. (Zingone et al., 1998).  [details]

Distribution Dinophysis sacculus is rather common along the Mediterranean and North Atlantic coasts, especially in in semi-enclosed basins, estuaries and lagoons. It has rarely been recorded outside this area. [details]

Harmful effect DSP events have been associated with D. sacculus blooms in the Mediterranean basin: the Adriatic Sea (Poletti et al. 1998, Marasovic et al. 1998); Tyrrhenian Sea (Giacobbe et al. 2000); Ebro River Delta on the Catalan coast, Spain (Delgado et al. 1996) [details]

Identification The ordinary kidney-shaped forms are well accepted as D. sacculus but some determination problems can be encountered when cell outlines are difficult to ascribe to either D. acuminata or D. sacculus (Bravo et al., 1995). Problems of misidentification with D. acuminata were discussed by Zingone et al. (1998) [details]

Toxicology Producer of okadaic acid, toxin implicated in DSP. OA found both in picked cells and in net hauls rich in this species in Brittany, France (Masselin et al. 1992). Moderate toxicity (traces – 19 pg/cell OA) in HPLC analyses of net hauls rich in this species in the Mediterranean Sea: Spain (Delgado et al. 1996) and Sicily (Giacobbe et al. 2000) [details]
