Pseliodinium vaubanii - an organism introduced into the Adriatic sea by ballast waters

The dinoflagelate Pseliodinium vaubanii was first recorded from the Adriatic Sea in the vicinity of the River Po estuary, in 1978. Subsequently it was recorded from a number of bays and estuaries along the eastern Adriatic coast. It was assumed that Pseliodinium vaubanii was introduced into Adriatic Sea with ballast waters. Even though the studies of Jacques and Soyer (2) showed this species to occur under vertically stable conditions of the water column we recorded it under conditions of markedly non-homogeneous water column.
