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).[6][7] source: wikipedia Magnet Fishers are the BOMB: magnet fishing FN eps-FN 214 (brief) Reid Irrationally Exuberant Podcast and FN 261 with Jeril Arsino and Scuba Sonja in depth story submitted by yours truly https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/03/us/massachusetts-magnet-fisherman-military-projectile/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/06/us/second-military-ordnance-needhman-massachusetts/index.html COSTA SUNGLASSES NEWS RELEASE  David Lyons Tackling Minds  https://www.tacklingminds.org/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCryXckE09ubhYwL4MazYX1Q/videos https://www.instagram.com/tackling.minds/ https://www.facebook.com/Tacklingmindsuk

Also, the Chinese use totoaba bladders in “traditional medicine” which can sell for 20,000 each. Their own related species the bahaba is in very short supply so they have switched to totaba. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totoaba Doc and the Fish Kill Boys:  1.
