Sažetak
The Mediterranean Sea is characterized as both a „ sea under siege“ and as „ robust and invasion resistant“ , as a recipient of invasive species. Analysis of fish alien species indicates that while the Eastern Mediterranean basin is more vulnerable to invasions, particularly from the Red Sea, the Western basin is more resistant, having been exposed to long-term migrations via Gibraltar. The rate of fish invasions into the Mediterranean has continued without showing any sign of deceleration. Since the publication of the CIESM Exotic Fish Atlas in 2002, 21 new exotic fish species have been recorded and eight substantial distribution extensions in the Mediterranean are reported. Two distinct periods (1987-1982 and 2000-2005) of population explosion were documented for nine cases of invasive fish species just following initation of invasion. In light of the supposition that the rate of invasion will continue steadily, it is suggested that future research should concentrate on comparative studies of the ecology and life history strategies of the invasive species and their closely related Mediterranean indigenous species as well as application of population dynamics and genetics.
