1. On the occurrence of early life stage of the king of herrings, Regalectus glesne (Actinopterygii: Lampriformes: Regalectidae), in the Adriatic SeaBranko Dragičević, Armin Pallaoro, Robert Grgičević, Lovrenc Lipej, Jakov Dulčić, 2011, other scientific articles Abstract: The occurrence of an early life stage of the king of herrings, Regalecus glesne Ascanius, 1772, is reported for the first time from the Adriatic waters. A single larva (SL = 103.4 mm) was found alive in the waters of open Adriatic near a remote Island PalagruĹľa. Findings of early life stages of this species are very rare in the Mediterranean and have previously been reported only from the waters of the Strait of Sicily and Elba Island.

2. First substantiated record of a lessepsian migrant - the dusky spinefood, Siganus luridus (Actinopterzgii: Perciformes: Siganidae), in the Adriatic SeaJakov Dulčić, Branko Dragičević, Robert Grgičević, Lovrenc Lipej, 2011, other scientific articles Abstract: One specimen of the dusky spinefoot, Siganus luridus (Rüppell, 1829) (+, total length = 17.3 cm, total weight = 87.61 g), a lessepsian migrant, was captured in the Mljet Channel (Southern Adriatic, Croatian coast) on 15 November 2010. This is the second record of this species from the Adriatic, but first well documented and based on the captured specimen. First record occurred earlier in the Northern Adriatic, but was based solely on underwater observations.

3. New alien Mediterranean biodiversity records (August 2022)Francesco Tiralongo, Okan Akyol, Sara A. A. Al-Mabruk, Pietro Battaglia, Damla Beton, Banu Bitls, John Joseph Borg, Marc Bouchoucha, Melih Ertan Çinar, Fabio Crocetta, Branko Dragičević, Jakov Dulčić, Athanasios Evangelopoulos, Julian Evans, Ana Fortič, Robin P. M. Gauff, Constantinos Georgiadis, Mehmet Gökoğlu, Daniele Grech, Tamar Guy-Haim, Mehmet Fatih Huseyinoglu, Domen Trkov, 2022, original scientific article Abstract: In this Collective Article on alien and cryptogenic diversity in the Mediterranean Sea we report a total of 19 species belonging to nine Phyla and coming from nine countries. Several of these records concern fish species, and of particular interest are the first records of: Terapon puta for Italian waters; Pteragopus trispilus from Malta; Plotosus lineatus from Cyprus; and the northernmost Mediterranean record of Lagocephalus sceleratus. The northernmost Mediterranean record was also reported for the sea urchin Diadema setosum. The portunid crab Thalamita poissonii was recorded for the first time in Libya. The copepod Pseudodiaptomus marinus was recorded for the first time in the Marmara Sea. The polychaete Branchiomma luctuosum was recorded for the first time from the Mediterranean coast of France. The alien anemone Diadumene lineata was recorded for the first time from Slovenia. The macroalgae Sargassum furcatum was recorded for the first time from Italy. The new Mediterranean records here reported help tracing abundance and distribution of alien and cryptic species in the Mediterranean Sea.

4. An analysis of Adriatic ichthyofauna : ecology, zoogeography, and conservation statusLovrenc Lipej, Marcelo Kovačić, Jakov Dulčić, 2022, original scientific article Abstract: The paper presents an analysis of biogeographic and habitat distribution patterns, and the conservation status data of Adriatic fishes, based on the last published checklist and evidence-based critical analyses of species presence. The total number of species recorded in the Adriatic is 449. The Adriatic has 58.8% of Mediterranean species richness, 76.1% of its families, and 87.8% of its orders. Among species discovered in the Adriatic after 2010, twelve species were attributed to biological invasion, mostly Atlantic immigrants or alien species, and ten species were attributed to improved research on the native ichthyofauna of the Adriatic area. About 58% of species are native species of Atlanto-Mediterranean origin, 21% are native species of wider global occurrence, 15% are Mediterranean or Mediterranean and Black Sea endemics and 5% originated outside Mediterranean Sea. The majority of species inhabit the benthic environment (71.9%), while others occur in the pelagic environment (20.7%) or are euryhaline (7.3%). The benthic littoral species are the most numerous Adriatic fishes, representing 40% of all species richness, whereas pelagic fishes are mainly eurybathic or epipelagic; only 3.6% of species are deep pelagic species. A Red Book of marine fishes of the Adriatic Sea is urgently needed to assess their conservation status, covering the entire Adriatic Sea and reviewing all fish species to assess their conservation status.
