A time series field survey were conducted in Port Shelter, a subtropical coastal water in NW Pacific, beginning before the onset of a chain of Noctiluca scintillans and/or Mesodinium rubrum blooms, and ending after the blooms had declined. At the first mixed bloom stage, seed of N. scintillans and the consequent outbreak of both N. scintillans and M. rubrum were largely due to the physical forcing. Plenty food supply and their different feeding habits supported N. scintillans and M. rubrum to bloom massively and concomitantly. Following that, there was a small N. scintillans bloom followed by a small crest of M. rubrum. Their initiation and scale were mainly affected by limited food supply and/or the inferior food source. Sudden change of wind from mild northeast wind to strong southeast wind might contribute to the termination of N. scintillans bloom. Finally, physical accumulation was the most important driving factors of the formation and dispersal of the third and largest bloom of N. scintillans. Formation of these bloom events may involve vertical migration and/or the concentrating mechanism of M. rubrum and N. scintillans. Meanwhile, biotic interactions such as mutual supportive relationship between N. scintillans and M. rubrum, and O. hongkongense fed on the progametes of N. scintillans, as well as other abiotic factors like seawater temperature and rainfall, also play important roles in this series of bloom events. Our findings have important implications for coastal zones worldwide, which are affected recurrently by these two ubiquitous red tide-forming species.

在西北太平洋的亚热带沿海水域庇护港进行了一次时间序列现场调查，开始于一系列夜光闪烁藻和/或中生红花绽放开始之前，并在绽放减少之后结束。在第一混合花期，种子N. scintillans以及两者的结果爆发N. scintillans和M.癣菌在很大程度上是由于物理强迫。充足的食物供应和不同的喂养习惯，使N. scintillans和M. rubrum大量开花。在那之后，有一小片N. scintillans绽放，随后有一小片M. rubrum羽冠。。它们的开始和规模主要受到食物供应有限和/或劣质食物来源的影响。风从温和的东北风突然变为强烈的东南风，可能会导致N. scintillans花粉的终止。最后，物理积累是闪烁闪烁猪笼草第三和最大花的形成和散布的最重要驱动因素。这些水华事件的形成可能涉及垂直移动和/或红孢杆菌和闪烁藻的浓缩机制。同时，生物相互作用诸如之间的相互支持的关系N. scintillans和M.癣菌，和O. hongkongense喂食闪烁藻的前生配子，以及其他非生物因素，例如海水温度和降雨量，在这一系列开花事件中也起着重要作用。我们的发现对世界各地的沿海地区都具有重要意义，而这两个无处不在的赤潮形成物种经常对其产生影响。
