Summary: Distribution of nano- and microphytoplankton cell density andbiomass (expressed as biovolume) were analyzed at 64 stations inthe Adriatic Sea, in July 1984, after the northern Adriaticbloom. Biomass distribution may be directly linked with theposition of eutrophication sources and currents."Macroaggreggates" formed after the bloom are descriptivelyanalysed.

Summary: A subsurface bloom of the marine dinoflagellate Gonyaulaxpolyedra Stein was observed in October 19, 1988 in the centralpart of the Krka estuary (east Adriatic coast) as a 6-m-thickred-brownish layer, located below the halocline. The bloom mighthave been initiated by excystment in shallower parts of theestuary, where temperature near the bottom exceeded 20oC. Theautumn of 1988 was exceptionally dry, river inflow was small andthe brackish upper layer was 2 m thick and transparent. Theexchange rate of water in the marine layer was at its lowest inthe year. The supply of nutrients for growth came from sinkingand decomposition of freshwater phytoplankton at the haloclineand the marine layer.

Summary: The paper presents data on the distribution of calycophores inthe open Mediterranean waters based on samples collected duringthe R/V "Atlantis II" cruise in May-June 1969, as well as thefirst data on the distribution and quantity of nectophores andgonophores in the coastal and open Adriatic waters. The followingspecies were numerically important in the eastern Mediterranean:Eudoxoides spiralis, Bassia bassensis, Sulculeolaria chuni,Lensia campanella and Diphyes dispar. In the western part of thestudy area, however, calycophores were found in low numbers. Thepresence of the immigrating Atlantic forms, Muggiaea atlanticaand Lensia subtiloides, was also registered. Among 22 Adriaticcalycophores, numerically important were: Muggiaea kochi, Lensiasubtilis, Sphaeronectes gracilis and S. irregularis. Otherspecies were rarely found and mainly distributed in the OtrantoStrait and the Southern Adriatic Pit.

Summary: The rotifer (Brachionus plicatilis Muller) was cultured onphytoplankton monocultures (Dunaliella tertiolecta, Tetraselmissuecica, Nannochloropsis sp., Phaeodactylum tricornutum), naturalnanoplankton and baker's yeast. Bichemical composition ofrotifers harvested at exponential, stationary and death phaseswas determined. The moisture content declined in all samples intheir stationary phase of growth. Ash levels were highest at thedeath phase. Lipids and carbohydrates were observed to declinebetween the exponential and the death phases. Protein levelsincreased in the stationary phase. Growth rate, doubling time,lipid, carbohydrate and protein content of rotifers fedPhaeodactylum tricornutum and Nannochloropsis sp. indicate thatthese monocultures are the most suitable diets for the rotifer.Rotifers fed on these algae are expected to satisfy thenutritional demand of fish larvae.

Summary: The 1965/66 samples taken monthly at three station in the Bay ofNaples and in the south of Dubrovnik were used to compare thecalycophore fauna of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Adriatic. Nearlyidentical calycophore fauna were found, except for three rareAtlantic forms registered only by the deep-sea station in theTyrrhenian Sea. Of numerical importance were the neritic speciesMuggiaea kochi, Lensia subtilis, Sphaeronectes gracilis and S.irregularis, and the characteristic open-sea species Eudoxoidesspiralis and the deep-sea species Lensia meteori. The annualnumerical abundance maxima in both areas were noted in spring.However, in the Tyrrhenian Sea, The values were two times higher,which agrees with the productivity patterns.

Data onvertical distribution, population density and sampling errorbetween replicate samples collected by the 125 um mesh net gauzedemonstrate that the sampler tested can be efficiently used inquantitative investigations and microdistribution ofmesozooplankton in shallow waters.

Summary: Changes in longitudinal distribution of eutrophication parameters in brackish and marine layers of a stratified karstic estuary have been investigated from December 1988 until October 1989 on a gradient between a pristine and a moderately polluted area. In the estuary, only marine phytoplankton blooms were found to develop. Near the head of the estuary, blooms develop below the halocline. Marine phytoplankton is fed by nutrients released from the decay of sinking freshwater phytoplankton. Phytoplankton growth is P-limited. Hypoxia near the bottom follows the decay of occasionally large quantities of allochtonous freshwater and of autochthonous marine phytoplankton. In the lower estuary, blooms have been observed to develop in the brackish layer above the halocline due to high salinity in the layer and the existence of a local anthropogenic nutrient input.

Summary: Nitzschia sicula, a planktonic pennate diatom, dominated the microphitoplankton in the central, oligotrophic Southern Adriatic Pit waters (20-50 m layer) in May 1990. Nauplii dominated the microzooplankton and produced a considerable ammount of faecal (mini)pellets, which were compactly filled with N. sicula frustules. The subsurface accumulation of diatoms and nauplii was probably the result of both productive activity under specific hydrographic conditions and the convergens in a relatively strong southern Adriatic cyclonic gyre; advective transport of populations along the shear zone, at the boundary between water masses of different thermo-haline characteristics may also have played a role. The ammount of minipellets was high if compared with data available from other seas. This was probably due to high production of minipellets, their slow sinking rate and/or an absence of manipulation of faecal material by zooplankton.

Summary: Gruž Bay (south-eastern Adriatic) is moderately eutrophicated, mostly by discharge from the carst river Ombla. Input of inorganic nitrogen might be attributed to enrichment from the open Sea during strong and continuous north winds in winter 1988/89. Annual succession of primary producers, herbivores and decomposers was defined by seven stages and induced by specific physical-chemical characteristics. In the period April-August, a biological production was mostly due to small size fractions of phytoplankton and zooplankton. Recycling of planktonic biomass occurred in September, of allochtonous organic matter in February and March.

Summary: Microzooplankton were sampled at five fixed stations in open waters of the northern Adriatic during four cruises in 1989, nine in 1990, six in 1991, and 12 in 1992. Changes in the qualitative-quantitative composition, together with the spatial-temporal distribution of the microzooplankton assemblages in the northern waters of the open Adriatic, were the result of atypical oceanographic and productivity conditions in the entire region of this sea. Owing to low values of ciliated protozoa, which comprised only 26 percent (1989) and 36 percent (1991) of the total number of microzooplankton, primary production cannot be controlled through grazing. This may be possibly explain the occurrence of marine snow. The presence of the larger mucous aggregates in the later phase causes a significant decrease in the density of the naupliar copepod population. Therefore, the usual dominance of copepods in summer does not occur and their development cycle is displaced to late autumn. Consequently, only Oithona nana, a species of wider ecological tolerance, comprised up to 73 percent of the total number of postnaupliar copepods during the presence of mucous aggregates in 1989. Thus, this small copepod play an important role in the process of remineralization in the northern Adriatic.
