Fish marine fish fauna checklist Adriatic Sea Mediterranean Sea

Abstract

An updated checklist is presented for the marine fish fauna in the Adriatic Sea. According to historical and recent sources in scientific literature 440 fish species were up to date recorded in the Adriatic Sea. Only a minor number of species are considered to be a consequence of recent processes known to have occurred in the Mediterranean sea, such as Lessepsian migration, Atlantic influx, northward spreading and cases of escape from mariculture.
