Data on demersal and mega-benthic species were sampled in the context of the MEDITS suveys carried out on the Spanish Mediterranean continental shelf since 1994. MEDITS is a program of bottom trawl surveys developed annually in the Mediterranean, in which all the participants use the same gear, sampling protocol and methodology, with the objective to evaluate the abundance and distribution of stocks, independently of the data provided by commercial fisheries, and to assess the impact of the fishing activity on the environment.

The scope of this study was to explore the diversification of the phytoplankton community structure and related ecological determinants along a large scale (3188 km) longitudinal transect, covering the region from eastern Mediterranean to Western Basin. Sampling was performed during the period June – July of 1999. Six stations were located in the Eastern Basin, one station in the Sicily strait and two stations in the Western Basin.A total of 216 species were identified(48 diatoms, 112 dinoflagellates and 56 coccolithophores).

Microzooplankton abundance and composition were determined in the South Adriatic Sea in the framework of the Italian National Research Project PRISMA1-Flussi Project (1995-1996)

Phytoplankton data, species composition, abundance (cells/l) (SDN:P01: PU00M00Z) and biomass (mg/m3) (SDN:P01: WWBMM00Z) collected at coastal stations located in the 1n.m. Bulgarian Black Sea area and stations on a coastal-open sea transect in the Bulgarian Black Sea region, including the EEZ, within EC, FP7 Project SESAME.
