	abstract = {<p>The results of studies on fish fauna through visual census tehniques  carried out in the waters of Portofino promontory since 1991 are  reported. Data collected to support the institution of the marine  rotected area (MPA), established in 1999, are compared with new  information to analyse modifications occuring in fish assemblage species  composition. The recorded noticeable fish species richness in the study  are allows to positively evaluate the effect of protection thereby  giving elements to formulate some biogeographic affinity considerations.</p>},
