The general BALMAS objective is to establish a common cross-border system linking all Adriatic research, experts and national responsible authorities to avoid the unwanted risks to the environment and humans from the feasible impacts of HAOP (Harmful Aquatic Organisms and Patogens) through the potential transfer by Ballast Waters (BW) and sediments. An early warning system (EWS) about the presence of HAOP in ports, as well as a decision support system (DSS) for faster and effective decision making on BWM to responsible authorities will be developed. By developing a joint Adriatic BWM DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM (DSS), BWM Plan and Strategy, BALMAS will ensure uniform BWM requirements to ease shipping and at the same time to maximize environmental and economical protection of all sea users.more » Biodiversity and biotechnological characterization of bacteria of the Adriatic Sea Oceans are very complex ecosystem in which microorganisms play an important role in biogeochemical processes and in the cycling of matter.more » Biodiversity of benthic communities in the Adriatic Sea: natural and anthropogenic influences One of the priority task starting from the local and national levels to the regional and global levels, is research of benthic communities biodiversity as one of the best indicators of the environmental quality and most reliable indicator of human activities and natural changes consequences.more » Biomineralization processes during embryonic development of marine organisms: snails, bivalves and echinoids This project focuses on studying and comparing key biological and inorganic aspects of shellfish, gastropod and sea urchin biomineralization during embryonal development through the use of advanced materials characterization and proteomics techniques as a basis for furthering the development of a fundamental and comprehensive model of biomineralization.more » Biomineralization processes of marine organisms Biomineralization is a complex combination of biochemical and physiological processes in the creation hard structures, depending on endogenous activity of an organism and the exogenous environmental influence.

Laboratorij za morsku mikrobnu ekologiju Istražujemo ekologiju i evoluciju mikrobnih zajednica. U središtu zanimanja su biotski i abiotski čimbenici koji uzrokuju i održavaju mikrobnu raznolikost, te učešće raznolikosti u funkcioniranju ekosistema. Laboratorij za morsku mikrobnu ekologiju utemeljen je na dugogodišnjem iskustvu na biogeokemijskim i mikrobnim procesima u ekosustavu pelagijala. Izgradili smo znanje na lipidomičkom pristupu u istraživanju fiziologije bakterija, fitoplanktona i makroalgi. Povezivanje s dugoročnim istraživanjima mikrobne petlje i kruženja ugljika u pelagijalu sjevernog Jadrana povelo nas je ka istraživanju mikrobnih interakcija u frontalnim zonama različitih trofičkih režima. Istraživačke aktivnosti: - Struktura mikrobnih zajednica (sastav, brojnost, biomasa, proizvodnja i aktivnost), povezivanje aktivnosti i filogenetske raznolikosti bakterioplanktona - Lipidi kao indikatori izvora organske tvari u sedimentu i sedimentirajućim česticama, prijenosu organske tvari kroz hranidbene mreže i odnosa u mikrobnoj mreži sluzavih agregata i gradijenata (halokline, nutrikline) u vodenom stupcu. - Mikrobiologija okoliša; ekološke studije na preživljavanju fekalnih i patogenih mikroorganizama u ekosustavu mora, procjena sanitarne kakvoće morske vode, prijenos i degradacija organske tvari, uloga bakterija u stvaranju i razgradnji polisaharidnih i proteinskih čestica te sluzavih agregata. - Enzimatski procesi u odnosu na status hranjivih soli u pelagičkom ekosustavu. - Primjenjena istraživanja: procjena kakvoće uzgojnih populacija riba i školjaka, ekološke studije utjecaja uzgojnih aktivnosti riba i školjaka na okoliš, ekološke studije prirodnih pojava neuobičajenog intenziteta koje ugrožavaju ljudsko zdravlje, turizam i ribarstvo, fiziologija i ekologija makroalgi, uključujući i invazivne vrste.
