''Karlodinium'' is a genus of athecate dinoflagellate The dinoflagellates (Greek δῖνος ''dinos'' "whirling" and Latin ''flagellum'' "whip, scourge") are a monophyletic group of single-celled eukaryotes constituting the phylum Dinoflagellata and are usually considered algae. Dinoflagellates are ...s. They are often toxin producing, and compared to the other members of the Kareniaceae, are fairly small at <8-15 µm diameter.

Karlodinium Armiger
''Karlodinium armiger'' is a species of dinoflagellates belonging to the family Kareniaceae Kareniaceae is a family of dinoflagellates belonging to the order Gymnodiniales. Genera * '' Asterodinium'' Sournia * '' Brachidinium'' Sournia * '' Gertia'' K.Takahashi et Iwataki * '' Karenia'' G.Hansen et Moestrup * ''Karlodinium ''Karlodi .... It was first isolated from the Mediterranean sea & described in 2006. It is a producer of karmitoxin, a toxin structurally related to amphidinols and karlotoxins; however karmitoxin also contains the longest carbon−carbon backbone known for this compound class, and an unusual primary amino group. It has a spherical shape with a diameter of about 15 µm. Under optimal conditions with supplemented NH4+, it has a division rate of ~0.3 times per day.

Karlodinium Antarcticum
''Karlodinium antarcticum'' is a species of unarmored dinoflagellates from the genus ''Karlodinium''. It was first isolated from the Australian region of the Southern Ocean, near the polar front. It is medium-sized and is characterized by its long ovoid cell shape and rather long apical groove. It is considered potentially ichthyotoxic Ichthyotoxins are compounds which are either toxic to fish, or are toxins produced by fish. The former include the algae-produced euglenophycin and prymnesins, which can cause large-scale fish deaths. The latter includes ostracitoxin, produced by bo ....

Karlodinium Corrugatum
''Karlodinium corrugatum'' is a species of unarmored dinoflagellates from the genus ''Karlodinium''. It was first isolated from the Australian region of the Southern Ocean, just south of the polar front. It is small-sized and is characterized by having distinctive striations on the epicone surface which are parallel, and a distinctively shaped and placed ventral pore. It is considered potentially ichthyotoxic Ichthyotoxins are compounds which are either toxic to fish, or are toxins produced by fish. The former include the algae-produced euglenophycin and prymnesins, which can cause large-scale fish deaths. The latter includes ostracitoxin, produced by bo ....

Karlodinium Conicum
''Karlodinium conicum'' is a species of unarmored dinoflagellates from the genus ''Karlodinium''. It was first isolated from the Australian region of the Southern Ocean. It is large-sized and is characterized by having a distinct conical epicone and spherical posterior nucleus, hence its name. It is considered potentially ichthyotoxic Ichthyotoxins are compounds which are either toxic to fish, or are toxins produced by fish. The former include the algae-produced euglenophycin and prymnesins, which can cause large-scale fish deaths. The latter includes ostracitoxin, produced by bo ....

Karlodinium Decipiens
''Karlodinium decipiens'' is a species of unarmored dinoflagellates from the genus ''Karlodinium''. It was first isolated from the Australian region of the Southern Ocean, but has a widespread distribution, through the Southern Ocean to the Tasman Sea, to the coast of Spain. It is large-sized and is characterized by having a helicoidal chloroplast arrangement and a big central nucleus. It is considered potentially ichthyotoxic Ichthyotoxins are compounds which are either toxic to fish, or are toxins produced by fish.

Dinoflagellate
The dinoflagellates (Greek δῖνος ''dinos'' "whirling" and Latin ''flagellum'' "whip, scourge") are a monophyletic group of single-celled eukaryotes constituting the phylum Dinoflagellata and are usually considered algae. Dinoflagellates are mostly marine plankton, but they also are common in freshwater habitats. Their populations vary with sea surface temperature, salinity, and depth. Many dinoflagellates are photosynthetic, but a large fraction of these are in fact mixotrophic, combining photosynthesis with ingestion of prey (phagotrophy and myzocytosis). In terms of number of species, dinoflagellates are one of the largest groups of marine eukaryotes, although substantially smaller than diatoms. Some species are endosymbionts of marine animals and play an important part in the biology of coral reefs. Other dinoflagellates are unpigmented predators on other protozoa, and a few forms are parasitic (for example, ''Oodinium'' and ''Pfiesteria''). Some dinoflagellates pro ...
