Nine different Pseudo-nitzschia species types were identified within the two regions. High toxin-producing species were found in both sounds, but made up a larger percentage of the Puget Sound communities. ARISA is essential in differentiating the multiple species present.en-USPseudo-nitzschia -- British Columbia -- Barkley Sound -- GeneticsPseudo-nitzschia -- Washington state -- Puget Sound -- GeneticsToxic marine algae -- Pacific Coast (North America)Toxic marine algae -- IdentificationOther
