The noble peris belongs to the family of the Pernian Pinnidae with the scientific name Pinna nobilis which means lostura, and the largest and most attractive shell of the Adriatic and Mediterranean seas. The ecological role of the noble peris is of particular importance because it filters and retains large quantities of organic matter from suspended detritus, which ultimately contributes to increasing the transparency of seawater. It also provides a number of algae, sponges, mosses and other invertebrates with a solid base for colonization in soft seabed areas. Due to many anthropogenic impacts such as hunting and pollution, many species experience population decline, and the noble peris is one of them. By providing biology of this kind, it can contribute to their protection. The Pinna nobilis is protected by the Nature Protection Act and is listed in Annex 1 to the Ordinance on Strictly Protected Species. This shellfish is subject to strict protection under the Directive on the Conservation of Natural Habitats and Wild Fauna and Flora and is considered an endangered species under Annex II. Barcelona Conventions.
