La manta raya gigante (Mobula mobular) es una especie endémica protegida poco conocida de la región del Atlántico oriental-Mediterráneo. Sin embargo hasta la fecha no hay acciones de gestión que cubran todo su rango. Este artículo proporciona la primera visión de conjunto de la distribución y abundancia estival de esta especie y otras Myliobatiformes en el mar Adriático basada en un censo aéreo. Aunque los objetivos principales del censo eran cetáceos y tortugas marinas, el estudio mostró que era posible usar el censo para monitorizar otras especies. Las estimas de abundancia se derivaron utilizando análisis convencional de muestreo de distancias. Las manta rayas gigantes se observaron principalmente en el Adriático central y sur (88% de los avistamientos totales). Se estimaron un total de 1595 mantas rayas gigantes en el mar Adriático central-sur (CV=25%, estima no corregida para los sesgos de percepción y de disponibilidad). Cuando se corrigió para el sesgo de disponibilidad el número de especímenes se estimó en 3255 (CV=56%). La tasa de crecimiento de la población se estimó usando aspectos de la historia natural y se realizó un análisis de sensibilidad para evaluar el beneficio de mejorar el conocimiento biológico de esta especie de la que hay tan pocos datos. Un análisis de potencia mostró que sería necesario un compromiso a largo plazo para realizar censos aéreos para monitorizar las tendencias de la población. Se discuten las implicaciones para la conservación y trabajo futuro, incluyendo cómo se podría utilizar este estudio para llevar a cabo una evaluación ecológica de riesgo.
