and in such large concentrations the dinoflagellates become ruthless killers. The blooms emit powerful 
toxins that weaken and entrap fish that swim into the area. The toxins eventually cause the fish to develop 
large bleeding sores through which the tiny creatures attack, feasting on blood and flesh. Often the damage is 
astounding. During a 1991 fish kill, which was blamed on Pfiesteria on North Carolina’s Neuse River, 
nearly one billion fish died and bulldozers had to be brought in to clear the remains from the river. Of 
course, such events can have a devastating effect on commercially important fish, but that is just one way 
that Pfiesteria causes problems. The toxins it emits affect human skin in much the same way as they affect 
fish skin. Additionally, fisherman and others who have spent time near Pfiesteria blooms report that the 
toxins seem to get into the air, where once inhaled they affect the nervous system, causing severe headaches, 
blurred vision, nausea, breathing difficulty, short-term memory loss and even cognitive impairment.
 For a while, it seemed that deadly Pfiesteria blooms were a threat only to North Carolina waters, but the 
 problem seems to be spreading. More and more, conditions along the east coast seem to be favorable for 
 Pfiesteria. Researchers suspect that pollutants such as animal waste from livestock operations, fertilizers 
 washed from farmlands and waste water from mining operations have probably all combined to promote the 
 growth of Pfiesteria in coastal waters.

 Question 29: What is the main function of the toxins emitted by the dinoflagellates?
 A. They are quick-acting poisons that kill fish within minutes.
