| 摘要: |
| 夜光藻（Noctiluca scintillans）是一种在全球海洋广泛分布的甲藻，同时也是造成许多海域暴发赤潮的主要物种。夜间大量夜光藻聚集于水面时会发出蓝色光芒，因而俗称“蓝眼泪”； 部分海域已被开发为旅游观光项目。文章简要介绍了夜光藻的分类地位、系统发育关系、生活 史及发光机理，并探讨了其在全球的分布特点以及赤潮形成的主要驱动因素，包括浮游植物生 物量、温度、盐度、水动力条件、缺氧和光照等。此外，还总结了当前针对夜光藻赤潮的监测方 法，如遥感技术和利用无人机影像结合深度学习的自动化识别技术。对夜光藻未来研究方向提出 展望，强调应从种群动力学、分子生物学和生态影响评估等多角度开展深入研究。文章为海洋生 物学家、生态学家和环境管理者提供多维度的夜光藻研究进展，为夜光藻赤潮的有效防控与海洋 生态环境的科学管理提供科学依据和技术支撑。 |

| Abstract: |
| Noctiluca scintillans is a dinoflagellate widely distributed in the global ocean and is also one of the major species responsible for red tides in many marine areas．When large numbers of N. scintillans aggregate on the sea surface at night，they emit a blue glow and are therefore commonly known as“Blue Tears”．In some coastal regions， this bioluminescence has become an attraction for tourism．This paper briefly introduces the taxonomic status， evolutionary relationships，life cycle，and bioluminescent mechanisms of N. scintillans．It further discusses its global distribution characteristics and the major driving factors of red tide formation，including phytoplankton biomass， temperature, salinity，hydrodynamics，hypoxia，and light availability．In addition，current monitoring methods for N．scintillans red tides are summarized，including remote sensing techniques and automated detection technologies based on unmanned aerial vehicle imagery combined with deep learning．Finally，the paper discusses future research directions，underscoring the importance of multifaceted investigations，encompassing population dynamics， molecular biology，and ecological impact assessments，to inform marine biologists，ecologists，and environmental managers．Such insights can offer scientific evidence and technical support for the effective prevention and mitigation of N. scintillans red tides as well as the scientific management of marine ecological environments. |
