Seasonal blooms of the invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi have been recorded throughout Adriatic Sea, affecting ecosystem and its pelagic resources. Gelatinous organisms such as M. release significant quantities excreta labile surface active dissolved organic carbon (DOC) that supports microbial activity. The effects leidyi's presence on heterotrophic prokaryotes (HP), cyanobacteria (CB) nanoflagellates (HNF) were investigated at five locations in coastal waters Rovinj-Rovigno (northern...
Recently, large numbers of Polyclad flatworms (Stylochus mediterraneus) have been observed in Istrian County shellfish farms connected to intensive ascidian fouling. To assess a possible threat and determine whether the flatworm feeds only on weakened dead mussels or can also infest healthy mussels, we conducted field research laboratory mussel predation experiments. Performed observations (August 2022–May 2023) indicated increased mortality and, at same time, abundance from < 2 6/40 kg...
