Sažetak
In January 2011, a semi-submersible oil platform "Zagreb 1“ was towed to the Trogir shipyard (Eastern Adriatic Sea, Croatia) for repair. The platform was towed a long way, from the Gulf of Mexico to the Croatian coast and more than 6400 Nm were crossed in 60 days. On 17. June 2011 a specimen of Paranthias furcifer was caught in the Marina Bay in the Adriatic Sea. The location of the capture was just a few miles away from the anchored platform and it seems possible that the fish was somehow connected with the presence of the platform. In October of the same year, a specimen of Holacanthus ciliaris was caught in close vicinity of the platform and a couple of sightings of alien (ili unknown) fishes were reported by the fishermen from the same area. Due to unusual findings of these fishes, which are abundant in the Gulf of Mexico where the platform originated, we presume that the platform was indeed a vector of introduction of these fishes and possibly other organisms.
