Comparision of hydromedusae findings in the northern and southern Adriatic Sea

The hydromedusae fauna of the Northern Adriatic Sea has been subjected to strong enviromental stress and many species have disappeared from that area. Comparision ao all avilable data shows thet only a small number of species are characteristic solely of either northern or southern region, and the majority are common to the entire Adriatic Sea. Because of the general pattern of water circulation that shifts gelatinous from the southern to the northern regions, it is supposed that the hydromedusan fauna of the Northern Adriatic Sea will be slowly repopulated.
