The protected fan mussel Pinna nobilis (Linnaeus, 1758) began to be studied for its ecological importance especially after the mass mortality incident in 2016 while the ecosystem services provided are now also valued at an economic level. The population of Pinna nobilis in the Greek marine areas was estimated by our study to be 2663.5x10 6 ±643.2x1...

Simple Summary West Nile virus (WNV) is one of the most widespread zoonotic arboviruses worldwide and wild avian species act as its amplifying hosts in nature. In the present study, WNV circulation among wild birds was evaluated in two regions of Greece during 2022. A total of 511 birds were sampled and screened for WNV RNA. The virus was detected...

The Greek marine aquaculture has a leading role in the Mediterranean mariculture industry, mainly in the export sector and its prominent contribution to the country’s economy. In the present study, the spatial distribution of Greek finfish farming activity and its potential impact zones on the marine environment were estimated and mapped. The Greek...

In the present study the spatial distribution of the possible impact zones in the central Ionian Sea coastline of fish farms, were estimated and mapped. The studied coastline was scanned via Google Earth satellite images for the period June 2016 to May 2017 with 72 fish farms cages arrays, being detected. For each cage array the zones at difference...

The protected Mediterranean endemic seagrass Posidonia oceanica meadows growing at the coastal area are endangered by the operation of the nearby fish farm parks. This paper serves as a comprehensive record of the potential impact on the seagrass meadows which are affected by the far-reaching effects of the fish farm parks at predetermined distance...

An analysis of shells accumulation at the sand strips of the coastal line of north Amvrakikos Gulf carried out. Five stations were studied which were further grouped in two (2) groups according to the weight proportion of the deposited materials. The first group (stations S1 and S5) revealed a higher proportion of bivalve shells and gastropods whil...

The preservation status of the mollusc shell accumulation of sandy barriers at the Amvrakikos Gulf lagoon complex was studied. Taphonomic shell analysis of dead mollusc depositions was undertaken in the summer of 2016 at Amvrakikos lagoon complex within the Tsoukalio and Logarou sandy barriers, which showed significant differences among the major a...
