New species of artisanal fisheries in the eastern Adriatic as perceived by local ecological knowledge

A pilot survey with the participation of 44 artisanal fishermen from 25 ports was conducted to acquire data on fishermens' perception of the recent changes occurring in biodiversity and fishery in the eastern Adriatic Sea. Interviews were conducted in the period from March 2017 to March 2018. Part of the survey presented herein aimed at the detection of potentially new and exotic species occurring in artisanal catches. Among species perceived as new, six species were exotic, three fish species have only recently been recorded in the Adriatic for the first time and 11 species are considered native species but represent either relatively rare or northward spreading thermophilic species.
