Hello
The Dinoflagellates correspond to the class Dinophyceae, Peridiniales order, are characterized by the presence of two rows, one transverse and one longitudinal. In each of these is a scourge.
The transverse flagellum is visible only through electron microscopy
The longitudinal flagellum (which we see in the video) protruding from the cell
Circular motions and jumps, characteristic of diniflagelados, is achieved by the joint action of two flagella

Hallo Francisco, this is a big one, right? It's called Gymnodinium (or Akashiwo) sanguineum, it can discolor the waters considerably!

Good luck, Rene
