The northernmost dispersal record of the lionfish, Pterois miles (Bennett, 1828) for the Aegean Sea

Abstract

Pterois miles (Bennett, 1828) is an aquatic invader and disruptive predator for marine ecosystems. A single lionfish was photographed and sampled in March 2021 during a scientific survey at 36 m depth in Karaburun/İzmir Bay. In this study presents an update on the lionfish's northward progression in the Aegean Sea.
