Chrysochromulina is a genus of haptophytes. This phytoplankton is distributed globally in brackish and marine waters across approximately 60 known species.[2][3] All Chrysochromulina species are phototrophic, however some have been shown to be mixotrophic, including exhibiting phagotrophy under certain environmental conditions.[3] The cells are small, characterized by having scales, and typically observed using electron microscopy.[2][3] Some species, under certain environmental conditions have been shown to produce toxic compounds that are harmful to larger marine life including fish.[2][3][4]
