Sažetak
Although the Adriatic sea is considered to be a relatively well studied part of the Mediterranean Sea, this review had underlined the significant number of new fish species which are still being recorded. Particular emphasis has been given to the rising number of new records of fish in the last thirty years in the Adriatic, even including some undescribed species. This has been attributed in part to increased prospection activity, coupled with changes in techniques which allow access to previously inaccessible habitats, and observation in vivo. The increase in number of species correlates clearly with interannual shifts in climatic and oceanographic processes. The impact of other potential factors is less well understood at present, but it also likely that biological invasion, overfishing by humans, and the consequent changes in the balance of food chain, have had a significant impact on fish populations over the last few decades.
