Sažetak
The distribution of Eunicella cavolini (Anthozoa) was mapped based on scientific data and observers’ information, in order to depict its geographical range across the Mediterranean. Moreover, an overview of scientific literature was realized to assess the current state of knowledge regarding its populations. Results show that E. cavolini displays an extensive distribution, from the Alboran to the Sea of Marmara, but is more common at the Italian, French, E Adriatic and N Aegean coasts. Populations were mainly recorded at depths of <10-40 m, but also in deeper waters up to 220 m. Although E. cavolini is regarded as one of the most common structural species of Mediterranean hard substrates, including coralligenous outcrops, scientific information regarding its population dynamics, ecology, and conservation status is very limited and restricted to certain regions of the northwestern and central Mediterranean.
