The zooplankton community was analyzed in ten Adriatic ports as part of the port biological baseline surveys carried out within the framework of the BALMAS project. We provide the first inventory of resident zooplankton taxa and five detected non-indigenous zooplankton species (NIS), and their spatial and seasonal distribution patterns. Copepoda and meroplankton larvae, particularly of Mollusca, dominated the zooplankton in all sampled ports. We recorded a total of 76 indigenous copepod species and five NIS, among which Parvocalanus crassirostris detected in Šibenik and Rijeka ports and Oithona davisae in Venice port, are new for the Adriatic. All detected NIS were widely distributed within the recipient ports. Co-occurrences of NIS were observed in the ports of Venice, Bari, Ancona and Trieste. The results are expected to contribute to the quality of practical monitoring of zooplankton NIS and facilitate the synchronization of efforts in creating NIS-related policies for the Adriatic sub-region.
作为 BALMAS 项目框架下进行的港口生物基线调查的一部分，对亚得里亚海的 10 个港口的浮游动物群落进行了分析。我们提供了常驻浮游动物分类群的第一个清单，以及五个已检测到的非本地浮游动物物种（NIS），并对其空间和季节性分布模式进行了分析。在所有采样港口，桡足类和后生浮游动物幼虫，特别是软体动物幼虫，均占浮游动物的主导地位。我们共记录了 76 种本地桡足类物种和 5 种 NIS，其中在斯普利特和里耶卡港口检测到的 P. crassirostris 和在威尼斯港口检测到的 O. davisae 是亚得里亚海的新物种。所有检测到的 NIS 均在受纳港口广泛分布。在威尼斯、巴里、安科纳和的里雅斯特港口观察到了 NIS 的共存现象。预计这些结果将有助于提高对浮游动物 NIS 进行实际监测的质量，并有助于协调努力，为亚得里亚海次区域制定与 NIS 相关的政策。
