Harmful benthic microalgae blooms represent an emergent phenomenon in temperate zones, causing health, ecological and economic concern. The main goal of this work was to compile records of Ostreopsis at large temporal and spatial scales, in order to study the relationship between cell abundances, the periodicity and intensity of the blooms and the role of sea water temperature in 14 Spanish, French, Monegasque and Italian sites located along the northern limits of the Mediterranean Sea. General trends were observed in the two considered basins: the north-western Mediterranean Sea, in which higher cell abundances were mostly recorded in mid-summer (end of July), and the northern Adriatic Sea where they occur in early fall (end of September). The sea-water temperature does not seem to be a primary driver, and the maximal abundance periods were site and year specific. Such results represent an important step in the understanding of harmful benthic microalgae blooms in temperate areas, and provide a good base for policy makers and managers in the attempt to monitor and forecast benthic harmful microalgae blooms.
有害底栖微藻水华是温带地区新出现的现象，对健康、生态和经济造成影响。本研究的主要目的是汇总大时空尺度的 Ostreopsis 记录，以研究细胞丰度、水华周期性和强度与海水温度之间的关系，研究地点位于地中海北部边缘的 14 个西班牙、法国、摩纳哥和意大利站点。在两个考虑的海域中观察到了一般趋势：西北地中海，其中大多数记录的较高细胞丰度出现在夏季中期（7 月底），而亚得里亚海北部则出现在秋季早期（9 月底）。海水温度似乎不是主要驱动因素，最高丰度期是特定地点和年份。这些结果是理解温带地区有害底栖微藻水华的重要一步，为政策制定者和管理者提供了良好的基础，以尝试监测和预测底栖有害微藻水华。
