| Time series (> 20 years) of bacterioplankton, phytoplankton and zooplankton abundances and of phytoplankton production in the Adriatic Sea were analysed. Multivariate methods were used to extract the main patterns of year-to-year changes in abundances (Principal Component Analysis), and to discriminate between years and sites (Multidimensional Scaling). Increasing long-term trends were established for planktonic abundances and phytoplankton production in both coastal and open sea areas, presumably as a result of eutrophication processes. In the open sea, natural factors (water exchange between the Mediterranean and Adriatic Seas, and temperature) were dominant in controlling year-to-year fluctuations of plankton. On the other hand, long-term... |

| An unusual distribution and high population density of Pelagia noctiluca medusae have been noted in the Adriatic from 1977-1981 and some potential explanations of this phenomenon are discussed. This phenomenon has been linked to cyclic fluctuation in Intermediate Levantine water circulation in the Adriatic. Some parallels have been found in the fluctuations in the Mediterranean and North-East Atlantic. |
