Recent changes in the northern Adriatic hydromedusan fauna

Previous investigations of the northern Adriatic observed the changes in the hydromedusan fauna that demonstrate one aspect of the long-term consequences in marine ecosystem: decreased biodiversity. Following concern about substantial changes in these area, in this study we present the comparative results of the composition and abundance of hydromedusan fauna of northern Adriatic, pointing to the possibility of species repopulating recent years. During 2009-2011 we found considerably higher number of species and higher abundances in comparison with the results for the last 5 decades.
