20.500.12556/DiRROS-19446 First restoration experiment for Gongolaria barbata in Slovenian coastal waters What can go wrong? First restoration experiment for Gongolaria barbata in Slovenian coastal waters. What can go wrong? The global decline of brown algal forests along rocky coasts is causing an exceptional biodiversity loss. Regardless of conservation efforts, different techniques have been developed for large-scale restoration strategies in the Mediterranean Sea. In this study we tested ex situ pilot restoration of Gongolaria barbata (=Treptacantha barbata) for the first time in Slovenian coastal waters. Healthy apical fronds of the species were collected and the development of recruits on clay tiles was followed under laboratory conditions for 20 days. Despite the experimental difficulties experienced, especially due to the lack of antibiotics to prevent the growth of the biofilm, G. barbata recruits were outplanted in the sea on two concrete plates with 48 tiles each, protected by purpose-built cages to avoid grazing by herbivorous fish. The high survival rate of juveniles after four months in the field (89% of the tiles on the plate that was constantly protected) suggests that outplanting G. barbata is an operable approach for restoration efforts in the northern Adriatic Sea. Our first experiment in Slovenian coastal waters provides new information for the optimization of the best practices during the laboratory cultivation and addresses the early steps of restoration and introduction of young thalli in the natural environment. hidrobiologija alge severni Jadran rastlinojede ribe true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2024-07-18 03:50:00 2024-07-19 09:23:51 2024-07-20 04:02:58 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2021 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Soavtorji: Valentina Pitacco, Petra Slavinec, Milijan Šiško, Tihomir Makovec, Annalisa Falace; Opis vira z dne 29. 1. 2021; str. 1-16 [article] 239 iss. 2 26 Jan. 2021 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2021-01-26 574 2223-7747 10.3390/plants10020239 49343491 https://www.mdpi.com/2223-7747/10/2/239 1 4b8958ab-4497-11ef-b487-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=26848 RAZ_Orlando-Bonaca_Martina_2021.pdf RAZ_Orlando-Bonaca_Martina_2021.pdf 1 F4AAF0FC93A746437EF53A35F3ADC14F 260911bdde2a9e16449559bd8b065fa22100c1017ddf8e6ddd262f6140965c35 26b0b523-458f-11ef-b487-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=26964 Nacionalni inštitut za biologijo 0 0 0
