Abstract

In the Pag Island marine environments 552 benthic and pelagic taxa have been compiled from literature sources and our own field research. Some typical offshore pelagic fish and mammals also were recorded in the island’s shallow neritic area. Local protection for the bittersweet shellfish (genus Glycimeris) is proposed.
