The first specimen of lionfish watched in Italian waters
Published a study of ISPRA, CNR and AUB about the lionfish , one of the most popular tropical fish and flashy, but also one of the most invasive marine species in the world. This fish, which is found usually in the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean and the Pacific, was accidentally - or perhaps intentionally - introduced in Florida at the begin of early 90s. The species has since flooded across the Caribbean Sea and also a vast part of the western Atlantic coastline, with impressive ecological impacts.
