Abstract
    About four species of Mediterranean gorgonians (P. clavata, E. cavolinii, E. singularis, E. verrucosa) we have analysed the effects of three different foods on growth, activity rhythm of polyps and rate of regeneration. The aim of this paper is to show the presence of food preference by the four species and the influence of the food on the growth rhythm and the regeneration processes.
