Abstract  

A simple and practical assay was designed for an epiphytic dinoflagellate responsible for ciguatera. The organism was abundant on the surface of algae but was scarce on inorganic surfaces and in seawater. Its distribution around Tahiti and Gambier Islands was characterized by marked regionality and supported results of previous epidemiological surveys.
