Davide DB Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 The silhouettes of the amberjacks on the prowl with the moving anchovies create a beautiful atmosphere only ruined by the platoon of scorpion fish trying to take advantage of the confusion. If only 10 years ago you had written that this was a Mediterranean scene they would have laughed at you. Poor Mediterranean Sea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only 10 years ago you had written that this was a Mediterranean scene they would have laughed at you. Poor Mediterranean Sea. Excatly May be 7 8 years ago when it started to be seen at Turkey seas (East Mediterranean Turkish Coast even earlier) We saw one in three tunnels diving point in Fethiye(where Mediterranean joins with Aegean sea) where i live. So to that point all the dive centers started tours just to see one lionfish in Mediterranean. Now last year even an UN supported lionfish hunting project had been occured. Who hunted the most amount , Who hunted the biggest , and who hunted the smallest lionfish were awarded by a go pro 10 or 11 i think So they are increasing so quickly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davide DB Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Yes, there is now a huge bibliography on the subject. Scorpionfish are also spotted now all over southern Italy and I expect them to go up to the Tyrrhenian Sea. Not to mention the fireworms (Hermodice carunculata) that have now arrived in Tuscany and beyond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They eat all the dead things but not leaving anything to othes What about puffer fish torquigener flavimaculosus Do you see them. They are increasing so fast here...
