Croat., Vol. 18, No. 2., 427–436, 2009, Zagreb. The striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba) is not a common cetacean species in the northern Adriatic Sea. Its presence is generally related to deeper offshore area...

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...

Womersleyella setacea (Hollenberg) R.E. Norris (Rhodophyta, Ceramiales) is an invasive macrophyte in the Mediterranean Sea, first recorded from the coast of Italy in 1986. This is a review of the geographic distribution and depth limits of W. setacea invasion in the Adriatic Sea since its first record in 1997. Algal turfs were collected and examined from different locations in the Croatian part...

The Adriatic Sea meteotsunami research and warning network is described. The network is located in the middle Adriatic, an area where the most destructive of the Adriatic meteotsunamis (destructive tsunami-like sea level oscillations generated by air pressure oscillations) occur. The network consists of three microbarograph meteorological stations, and is supplemented by four permanent tidegaug...

Recent ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) exploration and bottom sampling in the southern Adriatic Sea (Apulian and Montenegrin margins) resulted in the discovery of cnidarian-rich deep-sea habitats in the depth range of ca. 400-700 m. In particular, ROV inspection of Montenegrin canyons reveals the existence of megabenthic communities dominated by a variety of cnidarians, including scleractinians...

The epiplankton community was investigated during Meduza cruises along south north and offshore – inshore transects in the middle and southern Adriatic in spring 2002. The diel and vertical distribution of heterotrophic bacteria, phytoplankton pigment composition, microand mesozooplankton were assessed. At most stations we observed a thermocline at approximately 20 m and a prominent chlorophyll...

We present the first insight to the oceanography of the southeastern Adriatic Sea, where coastal water influenced by Albanian rivers comes into contact with the inflowing oligotrophic Eastern Adriatic Current (Ionian Surface Water and Levantine Intermediate Water). A distinct plankton distribution was observed on each side of the shelf break hydrographic boundary in May 2009, during gradual war...
