''Karlodinium veneficum''  
''Genus species''
Previously named
Gymnodinium veneficum


==Description and significance==
==Description and significance==
Gymnodinium veneficum was originally named and discovered by Mary Parke and D. Ballantine in 1956 (Guiry and Guiry, 2012). It was found to be very closely related to Gymnodinium vitiligo, due to its small size and similar structural characteristics (Guiry and Guiry, 2012). The most distinct difference between G. veneficum and G. vilitgo was that, G. veneficum produced and released toxins which lead to a change in name. But after more research was performed on this particular species, the genus name was changed to Karlodinium. The species was renamed Karlodinium veneficum due to the discovery of harmful toxins produced by this species which has been known to cause harmful algae blooms and kill fish in marine ecosystems and its similarities to K. micrum (Van Wagoner et. al.  2012).
Describe the appearance, habitat, etc. of the organism, and why you think it is important.
K. veneficum is part of the Eukarya domain and a marine planktonic dinoflagellate found in oceans and estuaries all around the world. It is a photosynthetic species that contains chloroplasts.
