Red tide has always been an environmental issue with global concern. A Noctiluca scintillans red tide and a Mesodinium red tide occurred successively in Yantai nearshore, China, where is usually oligotrophic, in October 2019. Currents, phytoplankton community composition and nutrients were analyzed to access the driving factors of the red tides. The maximum N. scintillans and Mesodiniium abundance reached 124.92 ± 236.84 × 10³ cells/L and 1157.52 ± 1294.16 × 10³ cells/L respectively. The fast growth of N. scintillans was due to increasing abundance of phytoplankton. The currents were crucial to the assembly and dispersal of red tides. The red tides significantly redistributed the nutrients in the red tide patches and regulated the dominant species in phytoplankton community. Our study illuminates the influence of physical-biochemical coupling processes on red tides, and suggests that ocean dynamics such as currents and tidal factors deserve more attention when considering the ecosystem health problems of coastal zones.
