Common name: Akashiwo Sanguinea<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Eleanor Hall<\/span><\/p>\n

Akashiwo<\/span> <\/span>sanguinea<\/span> or<\/span> <\/span>Gymnodinium<\/span> <\/span>sanguineum<\/span> is an armored <\/span>dinoflagellate<\/span> <\/span>species. Most commonly found in<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>estuarine<\/span> <\/span>and <\/span>coastal<\/span> waters, this planktonic species is <\/span>known for\u00a0being a red tide former and causing heightened fish<\/span> and shellfish kills. R<\/span>ed tides formed by <\/span>Akashiwo<\/span> <\/span>Sanguinea<\/span> <\/span>have been found<\/span> on the coasts of Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and <\/span>the Gulf of California<\/span>.<\/span> <\/span>It was also partially responsible for <\/span>a large<\/span> seabird mortality<\/span> across 14 different species of bird in California in 2007 as well as on the Oregon and Washington coast in 2009. A. sanguinea kills the birds by<\/span>\u00a0coating their feathers in a material that causes them to not be able to repel water which will drown them.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Akashiwo<\/span> <\/span>Sanguinea<\/span> has a diurnal vertical migration pattern. It has been found to move towards the sun and in experiments, toward any light source. It can move through a very large gradient of temperatures.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Symbolically\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Akashiwo Sanguinea symbolize human nature by its ability to come together. This dinofflagellate is microscopic yet we see huge sections of water deep red, filled with them. They come together to kill off birds, clams, and other shell fish. They are \"image1<\/a>an army, ready to fight to protect themselves. Although also like humans, when they are killing off the inhabitants of their environment they are destroying what they need to live off of; just as humans are doing to earth and to its people.<\/p>\n

This animation shows the akashiwo sanguinea making the red tides. It creates an abstract idea that the red tides come out of the dinoflagellate like a trail of blood, although that is not how red tides are actually created.<\/p><\/div>\n
