Distribution, Diet and Ecological Effect of Invasive Ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in the North-Eastern Adriatic Sea

Mnemiopsis leidyi distribution, abundance and diet were investigated in the North-eastern Adriatic from summer 2017 to summer 2018. The abundance of zooplankton and anchovies in the areas where M. leidyi was present showed a drastic decrease. The diet of M.leidyi consisted of all the zooplankton taxa found in the surrounding waters with a preference towards larger zooplankton and bivalvia larvae.
