Class: Dinophyceae
Order: Gymnodiniales
Family: Kareniaceae

Kareniaceae is a accepted marine family of relatively small, toxic, unarmored dinoflagellates belonging to the order Gymnodiniales.[1][2] Species in the Kareniaceae clade often times cause discolored green Harmful algea blooms (HABs) that pose a safety and health risk to humans (H. sapiens) and the regions around it. Such blooms also pose a risk to coastal aquaculture worldwide, especially places like France , Atlantic ocean, the English channel and the Mediterranean sea.[3][4]

Species in this family produces Neurotoxins like Brevetoxin which causes Human Shellfish Poisoning (HSP), respiratory effects and mass fish death.[5]
