Short summary
Seasonal and interannual production changes in the northern Adriatic (NA) reflect on the total Adriatic bioproduction of certain species (i.e. anchovy). Long-term (1990-2004) phyto-abundance and geostrophic current analysis relieve the basic mechanism of NA biomass production changes. The results present a first step in building an empirical ecological model of the region, aiming to predict the amount of organic production in NA, which is to be used in the environmental management of the region.
