Copepod communities in the middle Adriatic as affected by different levels of pollution

The paper describes some results on copepod studies from two different areas in the middle Adriatic. The Maloston Bay is a naturally eutrophicated area, and the Kastela Bay is under a variety of influences of industrial wastes, agricultural wastes, food processing industry, shipyard, etc.

Although these two shallow areas are under the similar impact of sea‐water dynamics, as to the different levels of pollution, different consequences have been found to the copepod communities.
