  "abstract": "Peridiniopsis borgei is a species of the Peridiniopsidaceae family (dinophytes), commonly found in inland waters but previously unrecorded in Mexico. This study presents the first record of a P. borgei bloom in Lake La Preciosa, a subsaline, alkaline crater lake in Puebla State, Mexico. Its proliferation correlates with specific environmental conditions, including low salinity (~ 1.2 PSU) and total dissolved solids (~ 1.7-1.8 g L-1), high levels of dissolved oxygen in the epilimnion (≥ 6.0 mg L- ), and low concentrations of nutrients and iron. From a morphological perspective, the analyzed specimens exhibited well-defined diagnostic features, particularly in the apical region, thereby reinforcing their taxonomic identification. Microscopic observations revealed cell shapes associated with reproductive stages, including elongated and peanut-shaped forms, the biological significance of which remains unclear within Peridiniopsidaceae. No sexual processes were observed, suggesting that the observed stages could be part of post-germinative development. These findings suggest that P. borgei exhibits a dynamic life cycle with overlapping generations and responds to specific environmental conditions that could limit or control its distribution in ecosystems such as Lake La Preciosa. Such conditions position it as a model case for studying dinophytes in subsaline lakes within volcanic environments.",
