Sažetak
Among 2000 known marine dinoflagellates there are about 200 species produce cysts as part of their life cycle. These benthic phases allow them to survive during unfavorable conditions and reinoculate the water column when favorable conditions are restored. In order to detect non-indigenous and invasive species for the first time dinoflagelate cysts was investigated in the eastern Adriatic Sea. In the Kaštela Bay 23 dinoflagelate cysts were determined out of which 12 belong to Peridiniales, 6 belong to Gonyaulacales, 4 belong to Gymnodiniales and 1 belongs to Prorocentrales. The most abundant were cysts of Lingulodinium polyedrum with abundance of 10370 cysts g-1 dry sediment followed by Alexandrium minutum with abundance of 250 cysts g-1 dry sediment. The highest abundances of dinoflagellate cysts were recorded at station with the finest sediment mostly comprised from silt and clay. In the Šibenik Bay 12 dinoflagellate cysts were determined. Cysts of dinoflagellate A. minutum were the most abundant with 130 cysts g-1 dry sediment.
