Abstract

Kartiranje litoralnih zajednica stjenovite obale (cartography of littoral rocky–shore communities, CARLIT) je metoda određivanja ekološke kvalitete priobalnog mora putem zajednica makroalgi koje nastanjuju stjenovitu podlogu. Makroalge su jedan od bioloških elemenata kakvoće preko kojeg možemo odrediti ekološku kvalitetu vodenih tijela. Različite vrste algi pokazuju različite stupnjeve tolerancije na zagađenje pa su dobri biološki indikatori kvalitete vode. Ova metoda je nedestruktivna i jednostavna, omogućuje brzo i pregledno dobivanje niza podataka. Temelji se na vizualnom promatranju geomorfoloških značajki obale te zastupljenosti određenih vrsta algi u gornjoj sublitoralnoj zoni. Istraživanje je provedeno na zadarskom području u travnju i svibnju 2016. i 2017. godine jer su u to vrijeme populacije algi najrazvijenije. CARLIT metoda se pokazala kao dobra i precizna metoda analize kvalitete priobalnog mora. Rezultati na istraživanim postajama pokazuju da je more izvrsne i umjereno dobre kvalitete. Blizina marikulturnih aktivnosti na nekim postajama smanjuje kvalitetu mora.

Abstract (english)

Cartography of littoral rocky–shore communities (CARLIT) is a method of determining the ecological status in coastal waters through the macroalgae communities inhabiting the rocky surface. Macroalgae is a biological element for the assessment of the ecological status of water quality. Different macroalgal community types have different sensitivity levels to pollution and are good biological quality indicators of water. This method is non–destructive and simple, allowing quick and easy access to a variety of data. It is based on the observation of coast geomorphological factors and upper–sublittoral algae communities. We conducted a survey in the Zadar area in April and May 2016 and 2017 because at that time the algae population are most developed. CARLIT method has proved to be a good and precise method of coastal sea quality analysis. The results of the research stations show that the sea is excellent and moderate quality. The proximity of maricultural activities to some stations reduces the quality of the sea.
