G. pacificus

Binomial name
Gambierdiscus pacificus

Chinain & Faust, 1999

Gambierdiscus pacificus is a species of toxic (ciguatoxin\- and maitotoxin-like toxicity) dinoflagellate. It is 67–77 μm long and 60–76 μm wide dorsoventrally and its surface is smooth. It is identified by a four-sided apical pore plate surrounded by 30 round pores. Its first plate occupies 20% of the width of the hypotheca.[1]
