• The over-growth of phytoplankton causes harmful algal blooms (HABs) in marine ecological environments. Mobility measurement is important in understanding the action of HABs. In this study, the mobility of Amphidinium carterae Hulburt (A. carterae) was investigated using high-frequency ultrasound in the laboratory. Mobility in response to light was illustrated with M-mode images reconstructed from echoed signals. This study suggests that mobility of the swimming speed of A. carterae in response to light can be measured and calculated with M-mode images through high-frequency ultrasound. This finding may be helpful in understanding the fundamental behavior of HABs.
