摘要

A survey of 50 km of the coast, including islands, rocks and offshore shallows, in the region of Rovinj (North Adriatic, Croatia) showed that the harvesting of the European date mussel Lithophaga lithophaga (L., 1758) is restricted to inclined, approximately vertical, surfaces. Usually, a stratum of rock, varying from several to about ten cm is removed by hammering, resulting in the complete eradication of sessile organisms. The damage was heavily widespread up to 6 m depth (47% of the total inclined surfaces for the whole area). Between 6 and 14 m depth, the damage was much less (14% from 6 to 10 and 7% from 10 to 14 m depth); below this depth, no damage was observed. The damage patterns coupled with the date mussel distribution, which was constrained by the nature of the substratum (limestone or dolomitic limestone), the general architecture of the rocky bottom and the depth. The structural complexity of inclined surfaces was quantified by 5 indices previously used in biota-substratum interaction studies. Heights of 11 pins placed 3 cm apart in a profile gauge were measured to determine the standard deviation of heights, the coefficient of variation of heights, the sum of squared heights, chain and tape ratio and circular variance of angles. Comparisons of these indices, among damaged and intact surfaces in different habitats and sites within habitats, showed a substantial decrease in complexity of the rocky substratum due date mussel harvesting. Thus, this human disturbance can permanently affect rocky shallow water communities as physical features of the substratum may exert strong effects on species.
