The net was placed on a muddy bottom at 20 m of depth. This is the second record of T. galea in the Slovenian waters (Gulf of Trieste, northern Adriatic Sea). Another specimen (the first one) was previously reported in October 2015 in the waters off Piran. By including T. galea in the checklist of Slovenian marine malacofauna, at least 370 gastropod species were up to date recorded in the Slovenian part of the Adriatic Sea. Key words: Giant tun, Tonna galea, marine malacofauna, Gulf of Trieste, northern Adriatic Sea PRESENZA DI DOGLIO, TONNA GALEA (LINNAEUS, 1758) (GASTROPODA: TONNIDAE), IN ACQUE MARINE AL LARGO DELLA SLOVENIA (ADRIATICO SETTENTRIONALE) SINTESI Il 1° dicembre 2018 un esemplare del gigantesco doglio Tonna galea (Linnaeus, 1758) e stato catturato con una rete da posta, il tramaglio, a circa 1 Nm dalla cittadina di Izola. La rete e stata posizionata su fondo fangoso a 20 m di profondita. Questo e il secondo ritrovamento di T. galea nelle acque slovene (Golfo di Trieste, Adriatico settentrionale). Un altro esemplare (il primo) e stato segnalato a ottobre 2015 nelle acque di Pirano. Includendo T. galea nella lista della malacofauna marina slovena, almeno 370 specie di gasteropodi sono state registrate nella parte slovena dell’Adriatico. Parole chiave: Doglio, Tonna galea, malacofauna marina, Golfo di Trieste, Adriatico settentrionale 121 INTRODUCTION Tonna galea (Linnaeus, 1758) is a large gastropod, widespread in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and in the Mediterranean Sea (de Simone, 1995). It is the second largest Mediterranean gastropod, which could reach more than 29 cm in size (Katsanevakis et al., 2008). It mainly inhabits sandy and muddy sediments and sea-grass meadows (Katsanevakis et al., 2008). It is a carni­vore which preys on sea cucumbers such as Holothuria tubulosa, H. forskali, H. poli and H. sanctori (Toscano et al., 1992; Francour, 1997), other echinoderms and mol­lusks. The basic life history of this species deserved only scarce scientific interest and many aspects of its biology and ecology still remains unknown (Doxa et al., 2011). Nowadays, this giant gastropod is endangered mostly by artisanal fishermen and collectors (Tunesi et al., 2006). It is a rare and protected species according to Annex II of the Bern convention (Council of Europe, 1979) and the Protocol of the Barcelona convention (Annex II) (European Community, 1999; UL RS, 2002). However, it is still sporadically collected in many Greek areas by divers (Katsanevakis et al., 2008) as a food delicacy or for shell collectors (Tunesi et al., 2006; Russo & Perini, 2016). The aim of this paper is to present data on the occurrence of this giant gastropod in the Slovenian part of the Adriatic Sea. MATERIAL AND METHODS Two individual giant tuns were found in recent years in the Slovenian part of the Adriatic Sea. The first was recorded on 24th October 2015 close (200 m distance northward) to the diffuser of the pipeline of the sewage outfall near Piran and the second on 1st December 2018 one Nm outside the town of Izola (45° 33’ 20.9’’ N; 013° 38’ 19.6’’ E). Both individuals were caught accidentally as by-catch in the bottom trammel net. In the first case the giant tun was kept in the Aquarium Piran still alive and then moved to the Shell museum Piran where it is now part of the exhibited collection. A note on this record was mentioned in the Piran municipal bulletin by Simič (2015). In the second case, the specimen was caught in a trammel net for flounders, placed on muddy bottom at 20 m of depth overnight. The specimen was deposited still alive in the Piran Aquarium into a 3.400 l aquarium tank with sandy bottom (Fig. 1). The giant tun was pho­tographed and the shell measured with a calliper to the nearest millimetre (Fig. 2). The specimen is housed in the collection of the Aquarium Piran. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The species was easily recognized through external morphological characters such as shell, which is spiral in shape and globose, resembling a barrel. The colour is pale brown and homogenous. Shell aperture is large with its outside border damaged. The surface of the shell is covered with wide spiral ribs (Cossignani & Ardovini, 2011). Head and the muscular foot are rather large and beige coloured with irregular dark brown spots. The shell measured 155 mm and the oral aperture is 145 mm wide. The giant tun collected in 2015 measured 190 mm. Published data on the occurrence of Tonna galea are very scarce in the Adriatic Sea. Stefano Chiereghin con­sidered this species as very rare in the northern Adriatic already two centuries ago (Chiereghin, 2001). Accord­ing to Coen (1933, 1937; in: Russo & Perini, 2016) T. galea, a species which used to be rather common, seems to face the threat of extinction. More recently the giant tun was recorded in Mon­tenegro (Petović et al., 2017), in Croatia (e.g. Zavodnik et al., 2006) and in Italy (Cossignani et al., 1992). Even more rare is considered in its northern part. In fact, the majority of available faunistic surveys on mollusks or invertebrates did not mention this species for areas of northern Adriatic Sea (e.g. Zavodnik & Kovačić, 2000; Zavodnik et al., 2005; Kučić, 2016). In the eastern northern Adriatic, there are only few published records on this species. A specimen of T. galea, collected in Au­gust 1965 in waters off the island of Lošinj, is housed in the collection of the Natural History Museum of Rijeka (Croatia) (http://www.prirodoslovni.com/inventarna/). Another one was mentioned by Zavodnik et al. (2006) for the island of Pag. Other available data are known from local newspapers or social media. Those are deal­ing on cases of illegal hunting of giant tuns in the waters off Novigrad (Klobučar Opačak, 2013) and of finding of a specimen, stranded on a beach in Rovinj (Orlović Radić, 2016) which was after released back into the sea. In their comprehensive survey of mollusks in the Gulf of Trieste, Vio & De Min (1996) mentioned an empty shell caught by a fisherman in waters off Savudrija (Istria peninsula), but without any precise data. In the western part of the north Adriatic Sea T. galea was recently found in waters of Caorle (Venezia), when a juvenile specimen was caught by fishermen in a depth range from 25 to 30 m (Russo & Perini, 2016). Unfortunately, authors did not provide any information about the date of capture. According to De Min & Vio (1996), at least 232 species of gastropods were recorded in the waters of Slovenia. However, authors focused their research mostly on shelled gastropods, so many seaslugs were not mentioned in their text. In a recently published monography on marine opisthobranchs in Slovenia, Lipej et al. (2018) reported 141 species. By analysing both checklists and by including T. galea in the list, at least 370 gastropod species were up to date recorded in the Slovenian part of the Adriatic Sea. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Authors wish to express their gratitude to the fisherman Daniel Hrvat for the alert and the donation of the giant tun to the Aquarium Piran and to Jan Simič (Shell museum Piran) for sharing the morphological data of the first specimen.
