Plankton and benthos are popular concepts identifying two ways of life of aquatic organisms. Their spatial separation led to the development of different sampling techniques and to separate conceptualizations of the principles governing these subsets of the aquatic environment. Reciprocal connections between plankton and benthos, however, are very strong both from a functional (energy fluxes) and a structural (life cycle dynamics) point of view. A full appreciation of such links is forcing marine ecology towards a more integrated approach.

Coastal fish assemblages were studied to assess two sorts of human impacts in southwestern Apulia (SE Italy, Mediterranean Sea). Fish assemblages were evaluated by visual census along two rocky locations impacted by a sewage outfall discharging nearshore (S) and by date-mussel (Lithophaga lithophaga) fisheries (F), respectively, and at two control locations (Cs). Multivariate analyses showed that fish assemblage structures at S and F differed from those at Cs. Asymmetric ANOVAs indicated that species richness were significantly lower both at S (approximately 27%) and at F (approximately 35%) compared with Cs. Total fish abundance was 5- to 7-fold higher at S than at Cs, while the values recorded at F were comparable to those of Cs. At S, average abundances of planktivorous fish and POM feeders were higher, and those of labrids and sparids of the genus Diplodus were lower, respectively, than at Cs. Labrids of the genus Symphodus and small serranids were significantly less abundant at F than Cs. Data suggested that coastal fish respond to the impact caused by the sewage discharge and provided a framework to assess potential benefits of its future displacement to deeper waters. For the first time, moreover, this study provided suggestive evidence that the habitat destruction caused by the illegal date-mussel fisheries may affect fish assemblages.

Abstract An integrated sampling of both active (cells in water column) and resting stages (cysts sinking to the bottom) of phytoplankton, was carried out on March 1996 in the Mar Piccolo of Taranto. At least 46 taxa were recognized in the water column. Cyst sinking rate was about 23,000 m-2 d-1. Out of 37 recognized morphotypes, mainly dinoflagellates, 18 were previously unrecorded from the area. The present sampling represents the preliminar test to outline an experimental design to an integrated study of plankton dynamics.
