In den WarenkorbThe appearance of exotic species in Mediterranean waters is not new: ever since Phoenician times have marine organisms been transported on ship hulls and in ballast water across the Strait of Gibraltar and around Mediterranean ports. But in recent history human technologies have definitely accelerated this phenomenon. Connected…to the Red Sea by the sea-level Suez Canal since 1869, criss-crossed by shipping routes, encircled by harbours and mariculture farms - each providing a possible way of entry for non-native species - the Mediterranean Sea appears exceptionally vulnerable to biological invasions. This Atlas of Exotic Fishes presents and illustrated record of 91 species. The final selection emerged from a rigorous analysis, ranging from old scientific records to the most recent sightings. The quasi-totality of species is of tropical origin: roughly two-thirds from the Red Sea / Indo-Pacific domain, the others from tropical regions of the Atlantic. They cover a broad taxonomic range: 56 fish families are represented. Monaco, CIESM Publishers. 256 pp., num. color figs and distribution maps, br. gr. 8 [15 x 22 cm].
