Abstract
Laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the effects of in vitro cultures of the marine dinoflagellate, Gonyaulax monilata Howell, on fishes. Results indicate that the organism produced a substance (s) toxic to fishes and that the toxicity of the medium is increased if the dinoflagellate cytolyses.
