Which consequence results when a dinoflagellate bloom depletes nutrients?

💡 Explanation

Reduced nutrient availability inhibits luciferase enzyme production, which decreases bioluminescent flash intensity because the cells lack sufficient resources; therefore, dim flashes occur rather than sustained bright glows, influencing predator avoidance effectiveness.
