Examination of the toxicity of a new group of Karenia papilionacea isolated from the Yellow Sea, China, to multiple species of marine aquatic animals
This study reports <i>K. papilionacea</i> in northern China for the first time, expanding the known distribution range of this toxic HAB-forming species along the Chinese coast. Our findings establish a foundation for monitoring and risk assessment of <i>K. papilionacea</i> in Chinese coastal waters and advance fundamental ecological knowledge of this toxic species. Future studies are needed to characterize toxins produced by geographical strains of <i>K. papilionacea</i>.
