Brachidiniacean dinoflagellates have been investigated in the open waters of the Mediterranean Sea, along a transect from the south of France to the south of Cyprus (20 June-18 July 2008). Brachidinium and Karenia papilionacea often co-occurred. B. capitatum predominating in the surface waters. The highest abundance of Brachidinium were found in the upper 25 in in the western Mediterranean with a maximum (24 cells L-1) at a depth of 5 m in the Balearic Sea. Asterodinium (up to 4 cells L-I) was recorded he low of deep chlorophyll maxima. The genus Microceratium. only known from the tropical Indo-Pacific region, is reported for the first time in the Mediterranean Sea. Microceratium was found below 100 m in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, with the highest abundance of 8 cells L-1 at 125 m depth, in the Levantine Basin. This study also illustrates for the first time specimens under the division of Brachidinium and Microcertnium. This first Occurrence of Microceratium in the Mediterranean Sea should be considered an indicator of climate warming. However, it should not be considered a non-indigenous taxon. Microceratium is the 'tropical morphotype', the adaptation of a local species (a life stage of Karenia - Brachidinium - Asterodinium) to the tropical environmental conditions that prevail in summer in the open Mediterranean Sea.
