Nine cetacean species have been reliably reported to occur in the shallow northern Adriatic
Sea since the 17th century. However, only two species were considered regular there until …

The distribution of phytoplankton abundance and species composition is described for
coastal waters of the NW Adriatic Sea, for the period 1990–1999. Hydrochemical and …
