Sažetak
Mortality events of the corals Cladocora caespitosa (Linnaeus, 1767), Madracis pharensis (Heller, 1868) and Balanophyllia europaea (Risso, 1826) were recorded along the eastern coast of Adriatic Sea. Coral mortality resulted from polyp bleaching (massive zooxanthellae loss) and polyp tissue necrosis, leaving the calyx rim deprived of tissue coverage. The highest mortality rates were registered after the exceptionally hot summer of 2011, when about 30% of C. caespitosa and M. pharensis colonies were affected and more than 40% of the B. europaea species died, all caused by bleaching events. Similar events were found during late summers of 2003, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2012. In most cases bleaching has been attributed to elevated temperature. Taking into account the global warming context in the Mediterranean Sea, monitoring programs of physical-chemical parameters and vulnerable coral populations should be rapidly set up.
