Examples of dinoflagellates as prey of ciliates and heterotrophic dinoflagellates in floating detritus are in the following light micrographs illustrated at 400x magnification: Euplotes harpa. exhibits captured small round dinoflagellates (Fig. 9). A second Euplotes harpa shows engulfed large and small dinoflagellate as prey (Fig. 10). D. rotundatum heterotrophic dinoflagellate, consumed small, oblong microalgal preys (Fig. 11). Time-series Study: Microalgae Floating detritus samples were collected from three levels within the water from the Lair and Boston Bay on May 12, 1991 (Fig. 12). The relative abundance of microorganisms varied with time and collection site. At the Lair, 28 % to 43 % of the floating microorganisms were dinoflagellates whereby in Boston Bay the quantities of dinoflagellates recorded was 18 % to 60 % of the total cell numbers, reaching the highest value at mid-afternoon, 15:00 h. Diatoms were also present in high proportional numbers;.
