Talk:Adriatic Sea/Archive 1

Measurements
The measurements all need to be checked, because it seems they're either plain wrong or miscalculated - land miles versus nautical miles! --Joy &#91;shallot&#93;   12:51, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

I noticed this from the apparently underestimated width of the strait of Otranto. --Joy &#91;shallot&#93;   12:52, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

According to the first sentence, the "Adriatic Sea is a large body of water on the west side of the Mediterranean Sea". Isn't it on the east side or the north-east side of the Mediterranean Sea? --SK 12 October 2006

Surface area seems particularly off: the article lists the average breadth as 160 km, and the extreme length as 770 km. If we're very charitable and assume the average length equals extreme length, that's still only 123,200 sq. km, well short of the listed 160,000. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.205.58.127 (talk) 18:42, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Fishes and Marine Life
The Adriatic and Ionian Seas are renowned for a variety of Sea Bass that gets imported into the UK as a special delicacy. An article expansion to cover the varieties of this and other marine life in the area certainly wouldn't go missed ;) Uranometria (talk) 18:58, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

"It is interesting to note the vast difference between the Italian and Croatian coasts on the Adriatic. Although only a small distance from each other, the Croatian Coast and beaches are generally many times clearer, cleaner and bluer than Italy's. Croatia is known for its Crystal clear water[5]." this sentence should be cut out,it sounds like a croatian advertisement (something like "come to croatia it is much more beautiful than italy"),i think it has anything to do with the correct language someone expects to find in an encyclopedia and it is really partial. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.14.36.152 (talk) 11:22, 3 November 2010 (UTC)


 * In Croatia sea water is said to be cleaner than in Italy, but it should be added that hotel rates are cheaper and turists are welcome.--Deguef (talk) 18:33, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
