Jutarnji list published online an article about new book on bivalves. Book contains results of research conducted in a framework of SCOOL and BivACME project financed by the Croatian Science Foundation and is published by the Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries in Split. It is written in Croatian language and has been distrubuted free of charge to libraries, schools and collaborating institutions.
Importance of longer term studies in coastal marine environments is clearly illustrated in our new publication. Seawater temperature data obtained, with hourly resolution, from the data logger set in Pag bay in May 2014. These data provide a powerful insight into oceanographical conditions in the eastern Adriatic Sea.
Laboratory analysis (LA-ICPMS) of scallops at the Institute of Geosciences, Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz (Germany). PhD student Kristina Križnjak working with dr. sc. Regina Mertz and prof. dr. sc. Bernd Schöne and using multispecies approach on three scallops collected in the northern Adriatic Sea – Pecten jacobaeus, Aequipecten opercularis and Flexopecten glaber.
Hana Uvanović, PhD student financed by the Croatian Science Foundation, defended her thesis in Oceanography at the Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb. Hana worked on two commercially important clam species, Callista chione and Venus verrucosa, analysing shell geochemistry and growth dynamics. Congratulations!
Dr Ivica Vilibić presented results of research conducted in a framework of BivACME project at the 2nd World Conference on Meteotsunamis that took place in Menorca (Spain) and at the EGU2022 in Vienna (Austria). After many online meetings, traveling was refreshing and provided an excellent opportunity for networking.
BiVACME team met at the Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries to discuss progress and future plans. For this occassion, Prof Julien Thébault from the University of Brest (France) and Prof Carlotta Mazzoldi from University of Padua (Italy) travelled to Split and joined the local team. Overall it was a very creative and constructive meeting!
Presentation of activities and research conducted in a framework of BivACME project at the Festival of Science in Split. This year our stage, for a wonderful day, was research vessel of the Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries - Bios DVA. Children from kindergraden and elementary schools, as well as highschool and university students, families and occassional tourist came for a visit.
Interactive workshops are always fun! Daria Ezgeta-Balić visited kindergarten More and answered numerous questions on bivalves and marine life.
It appears that the decadal variability driven by the Adriatic-Ionian Bimodal Oscillating System (BiOS) is properly reproduced by the AdriSC climate model! That opens the door for quantification of BiOS-driven oscillations in the future climate. More to be read in the Climate Dynamics article.
Paper on nitrogen isotopes (δ15NCBOM) in shells of Pinna nobilis published in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science. Research results show significant variations between sampling localities with different anthropogenic influences, with lowest values recorded for shells obtained from Pag Bay, and highest for shells sampled in Lim and Kaštela Bays. High resolution samples obtained from the external shell surface of shell sampled in Kaštela Bay, corresponded to a time interval from spring 2018 to summer 2019, indicate that this animal was experiencing stressful conditions several months prior to its death.
