Importance of organism and transcriptomesBlooms of toxic phytoplankton can negatively impact coastal ecosystems and economies through poisoning events that induce high mortality rates in fish (Landsberg 2002), birds (Shumway et al. 2003; Jessup et al. 2009), and illness in humans (Van Dolah et al. 2001). The success of the toxic raphidophite Heterosigma akashiwo partly depends on an interplay of high halotolerance and a reduction in predator induced mortality rates (Harvey & Menden-Deuer 2011). In a series of linked nominations, we investigate the genetic basis for the halotolerance of several predator and toxic algal strain. In combination, these transcriptomes would provide detailed information for hypothesis driven investigations into the puzzling success of this, and by implication, other HAB species.
