The field work is carried out in the northern Adriatic margin in the framework of the EuroSTRAFORM program. Our approach is to use the signature of the organic matter in order to: 1) trace the initial distribution of flood sediments on the shelf (spatial variability); 2) trace the physical and biological reworking of the flood layer (temporal variability); 3) discriminate between Po and Apennin...

Strong diurnal oscillations, documented by temperature data that were collected along a submarine cliff on the Lastovo Island (southern Adriatic), are studied and compared with sea level and wind measurements at Dubrovnik and Komiža (island of Vis). Three thermistors were deployed at the depths of 15, 22 and 36 m between March 2001 and March 2002. Pronounced diurnal temperature oscillations wer...

Due to increasing water temperatures, in recent years, the Adriatic Sea has seen a growing number of species arriving from warmer environments. This study reports first record Sparisoma cretense (Linnaeus, 1758) (Scaridae) along coasts Marine Protected Area Tremiti Islands (Adriatic Sea). The possible origin this is briefly discussed herein.

The main objective of the recent Adriatic bora study by the Hydrometeorological lnstitute of Croatia was a detailed analysis of bora cases during the special observation period of Alpine experiment (SOP ALPEX) in March and April 1982. The emphasis was on local conditions described by daily courses of wind, air temperature, humidity and pressure at the surface UDK 5s1.5s5.4 Originalni znanstveni...

This review focuses on the recent data on Mediterranean fishing fleets and landings, results from stock assessments and ecosystem models to provide an overview of the multiple impacts of fishing exploitation in the different Mediterranean geographical sub-areas (GSAs). A fleet of about 73,000 vessels is widespread along the Mediterranean coasts. Artisanal activities are predominant in South Med...

Genome size (C-value) was measured in four species of Adriatic seagrasses with interphase-peak DNA image cytometry. The estimated 2C-value was 1.5 pg DNA for Zostera noltii (2n = 12), 1.2 pg for Zostera marina (2n = 12), 1.1 pg for Cymodocea nodosa (2n = 28) and 6.2 pg for Posidonia oceanica, using Pisum sativum (2C-value = 8.84 pg) as the calibration standard. Seagrass leaves were fixed in 4% ...

Brucella spp. that cause marine brucellosis are becoming more important, as the disease appears to be more widespread than originally thought. Here, we report a whole and annotated genome sequence of Brucella ceti CRO350, a sequence type 27 strain isolated from a bottlenose dolphin carcass found in the Croatian part of the northern Adriatic Sea.

[1] Isotropic and anisotropic seismic structures across the Northern Apennines (Italy) subduction zone are imaged using a new method for the analysis of teleseismic receiver functions (RFs). More than 13,000 P‐wave coda of teleseismic records from the 2003–2007 Retreating‐Trench, Extension, and Accretion Tectonics (RETREAT) experiment are used to provide new insights into a peculiar subduction ...

The paper reports the first record of Nemichthys scolopaceus leptocephalus in Adriatic Sea, including a detailed description specimen with morphometric measurements and meristic counts. A single was caught on 18th September 2016 south small mid-water trawl at depth approx. 120 meters. Further research is needed to reveal more information about distribution potential spawning nursery areas slend...
