First Record of the Rare Gastropod Episcomitra zonata (Marryat, 1819) (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Mitridae) in Montenegro (South Adriatic Sea)
2025
This paper presents the first documented record of the rare gastropod Episcomitra zonata (Marryat, 1819) in the Montenegrin part of the Southern Adriatic Sea. Over the period 2021–2024, five shells were collected and their morphological and biometric characteristics were analysed. The analysis of biometric parameters showed that the shell height ranged from а maximum of 87.2 mm to а minimum of 69.9 mm, while the width ranged from 16.2 mm to 20.0 mm. The findings fill a significant gap in the literature, as no previous data existed on the presence, distribution or biometric parameters of E. zonata in this region. By providing new baseline data, this study contributes important knowledge for the conservation and management of this endangered Mediterranean species.

Validated Inventories of Non-Indigenous Species (NIS) for the Mediterranean Sea as Tools for Regional Policy and Patterns of NIS Spread
This work presents refined, updated subregional and regional non-indigenous species (NIS) inventories for the Mediterranean Sea, validated by national and taxonomic experts, with species records observed until December 2020. These datasets will be used as the baselines for the implementation of the Integrated Monitoring and Assessment Programme for the Mediterranean (IMAP) and the Mediterranean Quality Status Report 2023. In total, 1006 non-indigenous species have been found in Mediterranean marine...

A large non-parasitic population of Savalia savaglia (Bertoloni, 1819) in the Boka Kotorska Bay (Montenegro)
Abstract
The golden coral Savalia savaglia is a long living ecosystem engineer of the Mediterranean circalittoral assemblages, able to induce necrosis of gorgonians and black corals coenenchyme and grow on their cleaned organic skeleton. Despite its rarity, in Boka Kotorska Bay (Montenegro) a shallow population of more than 1000 colonies was recorded close to underwater freshwater springs, which create very peculiar environmental conditions. In this context, the species was extremely abundant...

First record of the endemic anthozoan Spinimuricea klavereni (Carpine & Grasshoff 1975) (Cnidaria, Anthozoa, Plexauridae) in the Adriatic Sea
We present the first record of the endemic Mediterranean anthozoan Spinimuricea klavereni (Carpine & Grasshoff 1975) (Cnidaria, Anthozoa, Plexauridae) for the
Adriatic Sea (Boka Kotorska bay, Montenegro). A density of 0.72 colonies m-2 could be measured in the area, which was com-pared with the
scant available data in the literature. Having in mind that this species is very rare and endemic for the Mediterranean, it is important to increase our knowledge on its distribution and biology in...

Učinci pridnenog koćarenja na bentoske zajednice u južnom Jadranu (Crna Gora)
The purpose of this study is to show the effects of bottom trawling on the benthic assemblages in the south Adriatic Sea as well as to report detailed quantitative and qualitative data on some
invertebrate groups of no commercial value that are affected by trawling. Short-term effects of bottom trawling on the soft bottom seafloor were studied on the continental shelf and upper slope in the southeastern Adriatic Sea. Ten sites were trawled in July 2011. A total of 14,069 invertebrate organisms...
