During October 1993 about 10,000 sea fans, living in the 20 to 35 m depth range, underwent a degenerative process, which caused the progressive detachment of the coenenchyma from the gorgonians' branches. About 80% of the affected colonies were reduced to a bare. It may be assumed that an increase in this mortality may be related to a violent storm that caused a drop in salinity and suspended sediment locally. Specific analysis has provided no evidence of bacterial involvement.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;1&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom2><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;15&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;19&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
