Quantitative data from Tino Island and Portofino Promontory indicated that the proportion of affected gorgonians ranged from 60% to 100% in populations having a density of 9-27.8 colonies/m&amp;sup2;, suggesting that millions of sea fans died along the coast of Liguria. This mass mortality episode coincided with a sudden increase of sea water temperature down to more than 50 m depth. Laboratory analyses showed that the colonies stressed by high temperature also underwent extensive attack by microrganisms (protozoans and fungi), which are interpreted as opportunistic pathogens.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:cerrano@dipteris.unige.it?subject=Request%20a%20document%20by%20email&quot;&gt; cerrano@dipteris.unige.it&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</style></custom1><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;284&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;293&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
