  abstract = {{V}ulcanodinium rugosum, a recently described species, produces pinnatoxins. {T}he {IFR}-{VRU}-01 strain, isolated from a {F}rench {M}editerranean lagoon in 2010 and identified as the causative dinoflagellate contaminating mussels in the {I}ngril {L}agoon ({F}rench {M}editerranean) with pinnatoxin-{G}, was grown in an enriched natural seawater medium. {W}e tested the effect of temperature and salinity on growth, pinnatoxin-{G} production and chlorophyll a levels of this dinoflagellate. {T}hese factors were tested in combinations of five temperatures (15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 degrees {C}) and five salinities (20, 25, 30, 35 and 40) at an irradiance of 100 mu mol photon m(-2) s(-1). {V}. rugosum can grow at temperatures and salinities ranging from 20 degrees {C} to 30 degrees {C} and 20 to 40, respectively. {T}he optimal combination for growth (0.39 +/- 0.11 d(-1)) was a temperature of 25 degrees {C} and a salinity of 40. {R}esults suggest that {V}. rugosum is euryhaline and thermophile which could explain why this dinoflagellate develops in situ only from {J}une to {S}eptember. {V}. rugosum growth rate and pinnatoxin-{G} production were highest at temperatures ranging between 25 and 30 degrees {C}. {T}his suggests that the dinoflagellate may give rise to extensive blooms in the coming decades caused by the climate change-related increases in temperature expected in the {M}editerranean coasts.},
