Sažetak
There is a growing discussion on the means of detection of invasive fish species in the marine realm, especially in the Mediterranean Sea. It seems that regular fish sampling activities are not as adequate as citizen science and similar activities such as Local Ecological Knowledge surveys. Adriatic sea, being the northernmost and coldest part of he Mediterranean Sea, still shows resilience toward significant impact of invasive species and such species are still very rare. However, there is always a possibility of sudden outbursts of such species and keeping track of their occurrence is essential. To tackle this issue, we use all possible means to get information about their occurrence and distribution extensions. Here we present the outcomes of a decade of fishery monitoring programmes, LEK survey, social-network screening and information spreading activities in the context of detection of invasive and other non-indigenous species in the eastern Adriatic Sea (Croatian coast). Our results suggest that information spreading activities and citizen science provide the best approach in detection of reliable records in the case when such species are very scarce.
