Abstract

The pervasive presence of marine litter represents a significant threat to Mediterranean biogenic reefs, leading to habitat degradation and a negative impact on associated structuring organisms, such as sponges and gorgonians. This communication highlights one of the detrimental effects caused by abandoned or lost fishing gear on colonies of Paramuricea clavata (Risso, 1827) from MPA Asinara Island (Mediterranean Sea). The study is part of the Strong Sea Life project (Survey and Treatment ON Ghost Nets SEA LIFE), aimed at mitigating the effects of abandoned fishing gear and enhance the conservation status of priority habitats of Posidonia oceanica (Linnaeus) Delile, 1813 and coralligenous reefs.

阿西纳拉岛（意大利撒丁岛西北部）附近 Paramuricea clavata（Risso，1827 年）森林的悲惨命运

海洋垃圾的普遍存在对地中海生物礁构成了重大威胁，导致栖息地退化，并对相关的结构生物（如海绵和芡实）产生负面影响。这篇通讯强调了被遗弃或丢失的渔具对 MPA 阿西纳拉岛（地中海）的 Paramuricea clavata（Risso，1827 年）群落造成的有害影响之一。该研究是 "强大的海洋生命"（Sea Life）项目（调查和处理幽灵网 SEA LIFE）的一部分，旨在减轻被遗弃渔具的影响，并提高 Posidonia oceanica (Linnaeus) Delile, 1813 和珊瑚礁优先栖息地的保护状况。

期刊介绍： Marine Biodiversity is a peer-reviewed international journal devoted to all aspects of biodiversity research on marine ecosystems. The journal is a relaunch of the well-known Senckenbergiana maritima" and covers research at gene, species and ecosystem level that focuses on describing the actors (genes and species), the patterns (gradients and distributions) and understanding of the processes responsible for the regulation and maintenance of diversity in marine systems. Also included are the study of species interactions (symbioses, parasitism, etc.) and the role of species in structuring marine ecosystem functioning. Marine Biodiversity offers articles in the category original paper, short note, Oceanarium and review article. It forms a platform for marine biodiversity researchers from all over the world for the exchange of new information and discussions on concepts and exciting discoveries. - Covers research in all aspects of biodiversity in marine ecosystems - Describes the actors, the patterns and the processes responsible for diversity - Offers peer-reviewed original papers, short communications, review articles and news (Oceanarium) - No page charges
