  abstract = {{D}inoflagellate proliferation is common in coastal waters, and trophic strategies are often advanced to explain the success of these organisms. {T}he {B}iguglia lagoon is a {M}editerranean brackish ecosystem where eutrophication has long been an issue, and where dominance of dinoflagellates has persisted for several years. {M}onthly monitoring of fluorescence-based properties of phytoplankton communities carried out in 2010 suggested that photosynthesis alone could not support the observed situation all year round. {C}ontrasting food webs developed depending on the hydrological season, with a gradual shift from autotrophy to heterotrophy. {P}rogressively, microphytoplankton assemblages became unequivocally dominated by a {P}rorocentrum minimum bloom, which exhibited very weak effective photosynthetic performance, whereas paradoxically its theoretical capacities remained fully operational. {D}ifferent environmental hypotheses explaining this discrepancy were examined, but rejected. {W}e conclude that {P}. minimum bloom persistence is sustained by mixotrophic strategies, with complex compromises between phototrophy and phagotrophy, as evidenced by fluorescence-based observations.},
