The paper presents the results of diversity and distribution of thermophilic species of echinoderms in the continental shelf on Montenegro coast. The data show that explored area inhabited by eight species of which the sea cucumber Holothuria (Platyperona) sanctori for the first time is recorded and is new species for the fauna of Montenegro. Based on the fact that climate change affects the temperature rise of the sea water, especially the coastal area, the aim of this study was to determine the presence of thermophilic species of echinoderms, which can be the basis for further monitoring and tracking changes in the benthic biocoenosis of the southern Adriatic.
