Sažetak
The study was performed on a total of seven transects, three laid out in the port (zones B and C) and four out of it (zone A) on hard and sediment supralittoral, mediolittoral, infralittoral and partly circalittoral bottoms and a rather large number of additional stattons in all the zones of study area. Direct SCUBA diving method and indirect dredging method on 20-60 m depths were applied.The total of 269 determined taxa, 252 were distributed out of the port (zone A) whereas the number of determined taxa was 130 in the zones B, not exceeding 48 taxa in zone C. Settlements wherefrom 102 taxa of benthic algae were determined, were formed between 20 and 60 m on detritic-sandy bottoms of the zone A. This is indicative of the fact that they were not exposed to the pollution of the port waters.
