(137)Cs activity concentrations were studied in the sediment profiles collected at five locations in the Middle and South Adriatic. In the sediment profiles collected from the South Adriatic Pit, the deepest part of the Adriatic Sea, two (137)Cs peaks were identified. The peak in the deeper layer was attributed to the period of intensive atmospheric nuclear weapon tests (early 1960s), and the o...

We explore the historical demography of the Adriatic lineage of brown trout and more explicitly the colonization and phylogenetic placement of Ohrid trout, based on variation at 12 microsatellite loci and the mtDNA control region. All Adriatic basin haplotypes reside in derived positions in a network that represents the entire lineage. The central presumably most ancestral haplotype in this net...

Systematic, long term measurements, starting in 1963, of Sr activity concentrations in sea water have been performed at four locations (cities of Rovinj, Rijeka, Split and Dubrovnik) along the Croatian coast of the Adriatic sea. In addition, fallout samples were collected in the city of Zadar. Sr activity concentrations are in good correlation with the fallout activity, the coefficient of corre...

There are numerous examples of energy policy failures (Heffron et al., 2018) which now being systematically studied to provide for much-needed policy-relevant perspectives into key definitions, contexts, and theoretical frameworks analysis (Sokołowski Heffron, 2022). This paper will focus on one the prominent an failure; case Turkey – Austria natural gas pipeline project,1 also known as Nabucco...

The need for habitat recovery in coastal areas, especially those subjected to intensive exploitation, has increased because of significant historical loss and alteration habitats and, therefore, adverse ecological impacts. present study defines a stepwise approach mitigate deep environments, describing the planning, intervention, monitoring phases following Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) laying ...

the black scorpionfish, Scorpaena porcus (Linnaeus, 1758), is one of the most common species of Scorpaenidae family in the Mediterranean and the adriatic Sea. apart from the adriatic, it is distributed in the whole Mediterranean, including the Black Sea, and along the eastern atlantic coast, from the British isles to the azores and the Canary islands (HUreaU & LitViNeNko, 1986). S. porcus is an...

The evolution of the northern margin of the Adriatic Carbonate Platform (AdCP) can be reconstructed for the period between the Early Jurassic and the Early Palaeogene. Its recent strike is NW–SE (DRAGIČEVIĆ & VELIĆ, 1994) and can be followed from the Slovenian basin (near Tolmin in Slovenia) extending all the way to the Krasta–Cukali–Budva trough in northern Albania The Northeastern Margin of t...
