Question

What planktonic organisms eat Prorocentrum lima

Answer 1

Answer:

Artemia salina (brine shrimp)

Explanation:

Prorocentrum lima is a highly-toxic benthic species that usually reproduces and inhabits in tropical areas. It is the main cause of toxicity in humans after consuming it unintentionally while eating seafood.

Brine shrimps (Artemia salina) have been observed to prey on these organisms. However, according to researchers, some individuals die shortly after consuming one specimen. Others have been observed to die after consuming multiple specimens of Prorocentrum lima. This indicates that, although it is consumed by this planktonic organism, it is still highly toxic and lethal for brine shrimps.
