Resumen

La distribución horizontal de los tintínidos oceánicos fue investigada en el Sur del Mar Adriático en 11 campañas oceanográficas realizadas entre 1980 y 1990. De las 70 especies identificadas, 47 se encontraron en la superficie, 16 en la subsuperficie, 4 en profundidades medias y 3 en aguas profundas. Las especies dominantes en aguas superficiales y subsuperficiales eran Dictyocysta mitra, Codonella aspera, y Udenella claparedei. Parundella lohmani predominaba en capas medianamente profundas y Xystonellopsis scyphium en aguas profundas. La intrusion de masas de agua provenientes del Mar Jónico y la formación de un remolino ciclónico son importantes en la determinación de la distribución horizontal de los tintinidos en el Sud-Adriático. Períodos de fuerte advección de aguas del mar Jónico impone un tipo de distribución longitudinal de tintínidos, caracterizados por una alta diversidad de especies, baja abundancia y transporte de especies del Sur al Centro y Nor- Adriático. Esta difiere del tipo de la distribución típica de remolinos, en los cuales la diversidad de especies es baja y la densidad de la población es más alta en todas las profundidades y el transporte de especies hacia el Norte cesa. Está asumido que los tintínidos mesopelágicos y de aguas profundas dependen de las fuentes de substrato transportados por sedimentación desde las aguas medianamente profundas.
