DISTRIBUZIONE DI PATELLA FERRUGINEA GMELIN, 1791
NELLE “NO ENTRY-ZONE” E NELLE ZONE DI FRUIZIONE PARZIALE DELL’AMP DELL’ISOLA DELL’ASINARA / Cossu, Andrea Vito Luigi; M., De Luca; DE LUCA, MARIO GIOVANNI. - In: BIOLOGIA MARINA MEDITERRANEA. - ISSN 1123-4245. - 21:1(2014), pp. 154-158.
Abstract:
The endemic limpet Patella ferruginea (Mollusca, Gastropoda) is the most endangered
invertebrate in the Mediterranean Sea. Our study estimated the limpet distribution in the Marine
Protected Area of “Isola dell’Asinara” (western Sardinia, Italy). During the summer 2013, we carried
out a systematic census along a 110 km perimeter of coast in the “no entry” zones and in the partial
use area to assess its density, spatial distribution, and morphometric characteristics. Our objective was
to deliver a detailed map of the distribution of P. ferruginea and to investigate the effects of restrictions
and wave exposure of the coast on its occurrence.
