The capability of the heterotrophic Australian marine dinoflagellates Cryptoperidiniopsis brodyi\udand Pfiesteria piscicida to impact on larval Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) and brine shrimp\ud(Artemia salina) nauplii was investigated. An attractant response of the heterotrophs toward\udactively swarming Artemia was not observed and no mortality occurred. In contrast, the dinoflagellates\udbecame active and exhibited attacking behavior toward planktonic oyster larvae (below 1 mm\udsize) within a few seconds. The oyster larvae survived 2500 cells mL21 for 2 days, but mortality\udincreased to 82–88% by day 12. Aqueous dinoflagellate cell extracts collected from the bioassay\udthat induced oyster kills were tested in a further larval bivalve bioassay but no mortality was\udobserved. Oysters over 2 mm in size survived the physical attack by the heterotrophs and remained\udalive during the bioassay period. Changes in zoospore and cyst abundances in the presence of oyster\udlarvae were also documented. More actively swarming zoospores and 2.5-fold higher cell numbers\udwere produced in the presence of oysters compared to control cultures. These results indicate that\udmortalities of the planktonic larvae can be induced by micro-predatory feeding behavior of\udC. brodyi and P. piscicida
