Zooplankton plays a pivotal role in marine ecosystems and the characterisation of its biodiversity still represents challenge for ecologists. In this study, mesozooplankton composition from 46 samples collected summer along western Adriatic Sea, was retrieved by DNA metabarcoding analysis. For first time, highly variable fragments mtDNA COI V9 region 18S rRNA genes were used combined matrix to compile an inventory at basin scale. The number sequences after quality filtering 824,148 223,273...

Abstract The sea walnut, Mnemiopsis leidyi, has invaded and expanded throughout the whole Mediterranean Sea basin. Large blooms were recorded also in Venice Lagoon (Italy), an ecosystem rich with biodiversity which supports multiple services, including artisanal fishery production. To investigate M. leidyi impacts on lagoon fisheries, we combined fishers’ local ecological knowledge, landing time series analysis, field sampling. Firstly, interviewed fishers to date of . Secondly, analyzed...
Elasmobranch species are the direct or accidental catch of fisheries and can have a commercial importance. In Mediterranean Sea, long-term period overfishing brought several demersal elasmobranchs to be depleted threatened by extinction, due vulnerability related their life history traits. such exploited species, information on genetic diversity connectivity is lacking should collected identify management units. this study, we focused two smooth-hound Mustelus (Linnaeus, 1758) M. punctulatus...
Abstract. In September 2021, as part of the Italian Arctic research programme, a multidisciplinary cruise along 75th parallel north through Greenland Sea Gyre was conducted aboard icebreaker Laura Bassi CASSANDRA project, which also contributed to Synoptic Survey (SAS) 2020/22. The took place during period lowest summer sea ice extent ever measured. data show strong horizontal gradients with temperatures between 1.5 °C and 9.0 salinity 30 35. Warm salty Atlantic Water (AW, θ > 3.0 °C, S...
This Collective article reports 17 introduced species and 22 new locations for these in the Mediterranean Sea. The are from three different Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) subregions (Aegean-Levantine Sea, Adriatic Sea Western Sea) of Marmara cover ten countries. goal consistent detailed reporting is to complement existing inventories serve as a basis establishing monitoring strategies other conservation measures. Some this first records namely green alga Udotea flabellum Aegean...
“New records of rare species in the Mediterranean Sea” (October 2021)
Transitional environments have great ecological value and high productivity, many species can benefit from their sheltered conditions food resources. In this study, we performed for the first time a fish-targeted eDNA metabarcoding of 12S rRNA gene at 16 sites broadly covering different water bodies Marano Grado Lagoon (northern Adriatic Sea) in two seasons. The was collected same as beach seine net, allowing direct comparison approaches. With detected 34 species, all functional guilds...
Anchovies represent the largest world's marine fish catches and current threats on their populations impose a sustainable exploitment based sound scientific information. In European anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus), existence of several has been proposed but global view is missing. Using multidisciplinary approach, here we assessed divergence among different ecotypes its possible causes. SNPs have revealed two functionally distinct overlapping in Central Mediterranean, with one ecotype...
The Mediterranean Sea has a long-lasting history of fishery exploitation that, together with other anthropogenic impacts, led to declines in several marine organisms. In particular, elasmobranch populations have been severely impacted, drastic decreases abundance and species diversity. Based on their experience, fishers can provide information occurrence, behavioural traits long-term scale, therefore contributing research the poorly studied biological aspects elusive or rare species. this...
European anchovy Engraulis encrasicolus , with total lengths ranging from 40·0 to 132·5 mm, were sampled during October 2002 and May 2003 in the northern Adriatic Sea order estimate their energy densities ( E D ). A highly significant P < 0·001) relationship between (y)(J g −1 wet mass) per cent dry mass x ) was found: y = 321 − 3316·9 n 161, r 2 0·82).

Food availability is thought to exert a bottom-up control on the population dynamics of small pelagic fish; therefore, studies trophic ecology are essential improve their management. Sardina pilchardus one most important commercial species in Adriatic Sea, yet there little information its diet this area. Adult sardines were caught Gulf Trieste (northern Adriatic) from spring 2006 winter 2007. Experimental catches conducted over 24-h cycles May, June and July showed that foraged mainly late...
The cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis Linnaeus 1758) represents one of the most important coastal fishery resources Mediterranean Sea. For Italy, 45% landings (2,328 t) originates from regions northern Adriatic Sea: Veneto, Marche, Emilia Romagna and Friuli Venezia Giulia. In terms economic value this species about 8% (~€ 16.5 million) production basin. From May 2004 to October 2005, were purchased commercial Grado fleet. At least 30 specimens randomly taken each month fishing method employed...
Identification of potential spawning and nursery areas European anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) represents an essential step in the management a resource which is fundamental importance both for fishery pelagic trophic web. Egg larvae occurrence from ichthyoplankton surveys (2012 - 2015) South Western Adriatic Sea were examined to understand mechanisms that control their distribution. densities varied through years with highest values recorded 2012 lowest 2014. Positive correlations between...
the feeding ecology of transparent goby Aphia minuta was examined in spring (May 2003) coastal waters off Comacchio, northwestern adriatic sea.stomach content analysis indicated A. to be a planktivorous species, exclusively on pelagic invertebrates.the diet composition dominated by calanoid copepods Acartia clausi and Temora longicornis, followed decreasing order importance other (especially calanoids Oncaea spp.) larvae decapods, polychaetes bivalves.A. exhibited generalistic strategy with...
Abstract. The paper presents a database of information on wrecks, natural and artificial reefs located in the Adriatic Sea, collected within framework Interreg Italy-Croatia project ADRIREEF – Innovative exploitation Reefs order to strengthen Blue Economy. data collection lasted more than one year comprehended three surveys wide literature review. After being collected, were harmonized and, where possible, made machine-readable. Moreover, widely metadated, published webGIS...
