The carnivorous sponge Asbestopluma hypogea, was known only from shallow submarine caves (-15 to -26 m) in the Western Mediterranean Sea and the Adriatic. Herein A. hypogea is reported from outside of caves, on seamounts in the Alboran Sea (-167 m), off the Balearics (-100 m) and north off Sicily (-660 m), and along steep bathyal escarpments in the Strait of Sicily (~700 m). These deeper ROV-ba...

Project EASI is the first implemented Complementary Experiment within the AlpArray program (http://www.alparray.ethz.ch) and stands for Eastern Alpine Seismic Investigation. The seismological field experiment ran with 55 broadband stations deployed in zigzag in a ca. 15 km-wide band along longitude 13.35◦E, spanning 540 km from the Czech-German border to the Adriatic Sea, for a duration of one ...

The aim of this paper is to simulate the impact a potential offshore LNG terminal on sea temperature (in autumn and spring/ summer) currents autumn/winter) at three different depths (at surface, 25 m depth seabed) in northern Adriatic Sea from 14 November 2015 06 August 2016 using Regional Ocean Modelling System (ROMS) model. location Istria Sea) was selected visual PROMETHEE method. uses seawa...

Samples of surimi were prepared in laboratory conditions from Adriatic pilchard (Sardina pilchardus). Water content in surimi was 81.5% before mixing with NaCl and κ-carrageenan, which were added in the range of mass fraction from 0 to 10%. Relative apparent specific enthalpy !, initial freezing point Ti, density ρ, and thermal conductivity k of surimi in the temperature range from -25 C to 10 ...

The fish stock of common sole in the Adriatic Sea has been analyzed by agent-based modeling and simulation techniques in order to integrate other classical stock assessment models. In this work we start investigating also about the formal probabilistic modeling of our case study in order to extract valuable biological information from available formal verification techniques. In particular a PR...

As a contribution to the complex matter of the relation of Humankind to its environment, light is cast on the thinking and behaviour of the villagers of the northern Adriatic island of Cres. On the basis of a number of phenomena from husbandry as practiced by the people of Cres at the beginning of the 20th century, their relation towards natural resources can be identified, together with the ma...
