Sažetak
The marine biodiversity of the Mediterranean Sea is nowadays facing substantial the structural changes in flora and fauna. Such changes were recorded in the Adriatic Sea, as well. During the last few decades, various factors including climate change, anthropogenic activity and lessepsian migration have altered the composition of Adriatic ichthyofauna. These changes are reflected in the number of species quoted in the checklist of Adriatic fishes, from 407 in 1996 to 440 in 2010. Since 2010, 16 new species were recorded, which raised the number to 456 species and 140 families. Of the 14 Lessepsian migrants that were recorded in the Adriatic, Fistularia commersonii, Lagocephalus sceleratus and Siganus luridus proved to be successful invaders for its southern part. Several checklists for the Mediterranean Sea in the last 14 years quote how number of fish species ranged from 648 to 664. Until to 2016, 151 of non-indigenous fish species were observed in the Mediterranean Sea (34 in the last 5 years, at least 36 species from the Red Sea since 2000). A significant increase of Lessepsian migrants is partly associated with the expansion and deepening of the Suez Canal. Some of them established populations very quickly in the Mediterranean and some have positive economic significance and some species exhibit negative impacts on marine fisheries and biodiversity.
