“…nutrients, light, turbidity, etc.) as reported by Bužančić et al (2016) and Chai et al (2016). Results indicated that diatom to dinoflagellate ratios and pigment composition varied throughout the year.…”

“…Similarly, an increase in microphytoplankton but decrease in nanophytoplankton and picophytoplankton was reported from the Pearl River estuary with high nutrient concentration (Chai et al, 2016). On the other hand, dinoflagellates were found to be the most abundant group in the regions where were exposed to anthropogenic influence and generally more abundant in the warmer part of the year along the eastern Adriatic coast (Bužančić et al, 2016). Therefore, they can be used as an indicator for anthropogenic pressures.…”

“…According to our part of research, which includes autumn and winter period, chlorophyll a was the highest in the early winter period. The same situation was noticed in the coastal north-western Mediterranean (Cermeno et al, 2006) and in the eastern Adriatic Sea (Buzančić, Ninčević-Gladan, Marasović, Kušpilić, & Grbec, 2016) where chl a increases in the autumn-winter period. The present result is slightly different from the results recorded in the Zrmanja estuary (Burić et al, 2007) and in the south-eastern Adriatic (Krivokapić et al, 2011), where a chlorophyll a peak was noticed in late winter and spring when the water column is rich with regenerated nutrients and solar radiation is increasing.…”

The distribution of toxic and potentially toxic phytoplankton species in relation to environmental factors was investigated from November 2014 to April 2015 in Boka Kotorska Bay, in the south -eastern part of the Adriatic Sea. The RDA analysis of environmental parameters showed that the system is mostly temperature-driven. The phytoplankton community was mainly composed of diatoms and less with dinoflagellates. Pseudo-nitzschia was the dominant diatom, present in 88.40 % of samples, with a maximum (of 1.85 × 10 5 cells/l). Among toxic dinoflagellates, frequent were Dinophysis acuminata (with frequency of 33.33%), D. fortii (with frequency of 23.19%) and Prorocentrum cordatum (with frequency of 21.74%). The RDA analysis showed that diatoms correlated slightly positively with nutrients and negative correlation was recorded with temperature and salinity. Dinoflagellates showed strong positive association, indicating a positive correlation with oxygen concentration, chl a, SiO4 -and NO3 -concentrations and negative correlation with temperature and salinity.

“…In the CAd, the rivers with most extended catchment areas are the Neretva (13,122 km 2 ) and Cetina (3,869 km 2 ) in Croatia and the Pescara river (3,158 km 2 ) in Italy. The Neretva river is the largest river of the eastern part of the Adriatic with considerable freshwater inputs to the Moli Ston Bay (Bužančić et al, 2016). According to geospatial results presented in Figure 3c, the plume generated by the Neretva river has the highest area of influence in the CAd.…”

This research presents a set of multi-objective spatial tools for sea planning and environmental management in the Adriatic Sea Basin. The tools address four objectives: 1) assessment of cumulative impacts from anthropogenic sea uses on environmental components of marine areas; 2) analysis of sea use conflicts; 3) 3-D hydrodynamic modelling of nutrient dispersion (nitrogen and phosphorus) from riverine sources in the Adriatic Sea Basin and 4) marine ecosystem services capacity assessment from seabed habitats based on an ES matrix approach. Geospatial modelling results were illustrated and analysed for three biogeographic subdivisions, Northern-Central-Southern Adriatic Sea. The paper discusses model results for their spatial implications, relevance for sea planning, limitations and concludes with an outlook towards the need for more integrated, multi-functional tools development for sea planning.
