Abstract

This paper presents the first recording of a rare dinoflagellate species, Ceratoperidinium yeye, in the Gulf of Trieste, northern Adriatic, in the summer of 2003, which coincided chronologically with its first finding along the eastern Adriatic coast. The northward spread of C. yeye is discussed in relation to the exceptional meteorological conditions during the summer of 2003.
