SYNOPSIS 

This paper presents the first data about seasonal overveiw of horisontal distribution and abundance for the genus Polycheta in Bay of Boka Kotorska. The only determined species was Tomopteris elegans Chun, which is present throughout the Adriatic Sea , but as it has a quite narrow ecological valence its abundance is much greater in deep open waters of the Adriatic than in the coastal waters. Also presented are seasonal oscillations and quantitative presence of Polycheta population during 2002.

SINOPSIS

PRILOG POZNAVANJU DISTRIBUCIJE I SEZONSKE DINAMIKE PLANKTONSKIH POLIHETA U JUŽNOM JADRANU

U radu iznosimo prve pregledne podatke o sezonskoj horizontalnoj distribuciji i abundanciji roda Polycheta u Bokokotorskom zalivu. Determinisana je samo vrsta Tomopteris elegans Chun, koja je prisutna u cijelom Jadranu. Ova vrsta ima prilično usku ekološku valencu, tako da ima mnogo veću abundanciju u pučinskim dubokim vodama Jadrana nego u priobalnim vodama. Takođe smo prikazali sezonske oscilacije i kvantitativno prisustvo cijele grupe

Polycheta tokom 2002. godine.
