Sažetak
Benthic fluxes of nitrogen-, phosphorus- and silica salts were determined during the period June 1997 – October 2000 in the area of middle and south Adriatic Sea. The established fluxes (mmol m-2 day-1) were in the range from 0.16 to 1.97 for silicate; -0.038 to 0.215 for phosphate and –1.50 to 2.88 for the sum of nitrate, nitrite and ammonia. Temporal and spatial flux variation showed increased values both in the coastal zone and during the warm period of year.
