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.
