Notes on Vent Field Description:
the Ischia Volcanic complex is SW of Campi Flegrei, both within the Phlegrean Volcanic District (D'Antonio et al. 2007); Hall-Spencer et al. (2008): in situ experiments on CO2 exposure to benthic fauna/flora, note that this article states that they studied "cold vent areas off Ischia"
