Ceratium hirundinella é um dinoflagelado de água doce amplamente distribuído em lagos e reservatórios de todo o mundo. Reconhecível por seus longos chifres curvados, possui tanto metabolismo autotrófico quanto heterotrófico. Migra verticalmente na coluna d'água, concentrando-se na superfície durante o dia para a fotossíntese. Pode formar florações densas em lagos eutróficos, alterando as características físico-químicas da água.
