General abundance and species composition of a dinoflagellate community in Yemeni coastal waters of Al Salif (southern Red Sea) were studied with a view to understand the annual variations in particular the toxic species. Dinoflagellates were more abundant among phytoplankton. Thirty five dinoflagellate taxa were identified, among which 12 were reported as potentially toxic species. A significant change in seasonal abundance was recorded with the maximum (2.27∗10cellsl) in May, and the minimum (2.50∗10cellsl) recorded in January. Kryptoperidinium foliaceum, which was reported for the first time from the Red Sea, was the most abundant species with a maximum in May 2013 (2.26∗10cellsl). Spearman's rank correlation analysis indicates that, total harmful dinoflagellate cells, K. foliaceum, Prorocentrum gracile and Prorocentrum micans were significantly correlated with temperature. This study suggests that Yemeni waters should be monitored to investigate harmful species and to identify areas and seasons at higher risk.
为了解也门红海沿岸萨利夫（南部红海）水域甲藻群落的总体丰度和物种组成，特别是有毒物种的年度变化情况，开展了相关研究。甲藻在浮游植物中更为丰富。共鉴定出35种甲藻分类群，其中有12种被报告为潜在有毒物种。记录到季节性丰度有显著变化，5月最高（2.27×10个细胞/升），1月最低（2.50×10个细胞/升）。红海首次报告的叶状隐甲藻是最丰富的物种，2013年5月达到最高值（2.26×10个细胞/升）。斯皮尔曼等级相关分析表明，有害甲藻总细胞数、叶状隐甲藻、纤细原甲藻和海洋原甲藻与温度显著相关。该研究表明，应对也门海域进行监测，以调查有害物种，并确定高风险区域和季节。
