Hitherto, its invasion has Lagocephalus sceleratus (Gmelin, 1789) is a tropical non-indigenous species (NIS) that entered the eastern Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal. In the study area, L. sceleratus was found to rank among the 10 most dominant fish species in terms of biomass in Posidonia oceanica habitats (Kalogirou et al.

Inhabits offshore reefs (Ref. 333 J. , 2010) and among the ten most dominant species, both in terms of biomass and number of individuals, on sandy bottoms (Kalogirou et al. For this reason, the i) Hellenic Centre for Marine Research/ Hydrobiological Station of Rhodes in collaboration with the ii) National Reference Laboratory of Marine Biotoxins, Institute of Food Hygiene, Ministry of Rural Development and the Food and the iii) Department of Fisheries in Cyprus co-submitted without success a proposal in 2012 (in the framework of the Interreg IV call) to explore the above-mentioned study. GCP/INT/041/EC – GRE – ITA/TD-10. Interestingly, burrowing and venomous species were among preys, thus showing the ability of L. sceleratus to actively search for prey and possible resistance to venom (Kalogirou, 2013). In 2013 it was reported off the waters off Lampedusa Island in the central Mediterranean, and in 2015 off Malta and also i In sandy

In sandy bottoms, the small size range (5-6 cm) of L. sceleratus individuals observed during the Summer, suggests that the fish recruit into this habitat.
Complaints of fishermen included destruction of gill nets due to entangling or predation on already captured fish, reduction of local commercial catches of Sepia officinalis and Octopus vulgaris, cut-off of long-line hooks and worrying fish consumers due to false alerts regarding the difficulties in distinguishing small-sized individuals of L. sceleratus from other important commercial fishes of the same size (e.g. <>
Moreover, tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a highly valuable toxin that is pharmaceutically used o treats multiple sclerosis (MS) and cancer patients for pain relief. , 2008; Golani, 2010; Nader et al. Since they do not have any predators in the Mediterranean Sea, their population increased in number very fast. These efforts have included posters warning the public about the lethal effects if consumed. It was discovered that ecological trait diversity of alien species is substantially more evenly spaced and more divergent than random samples from the pool of Red Sea species, pointing at additional processes, such as competition and promotion of ecological diversity among alien species. x��\[s۸�~OU�������&n1�r����9�̙g�j+9����(VF�3'��/ IPŜ�T$�@�/_7�>��5��պ�=~v�4��}u;{wv�m��������:�uuW?��z�pv����G��mS���g�/�f�o�>9�3��b����'b��?1��eJ�T>{���������'���J���Y���w�n.�\�c��oO���H���t��/�rv-gBd���S�L�z&l��ı�o�f��_�o�~z1��^��f�j�|y��V�W�0e�)?���r�-�F������7�����7���

Furthermore, its anti-predator adaptations such as inflation of the body and toxicity (Golani et al., 2006 updated 2009), the absence of strong confamilial and interspecific competitors and predators in the invaded coastal habitats (Corsini-Foka, 2010), probable high survival of eggs (due to toxicity and unpalatability) have to be considered as factors contributing to the successful invasion and abundance of the silverstripe blaasop in the area (Pancucci-Papadopoulou et al., 2012). Lagocephalus sceleratus from the family Tetraodontidae, which is originated from the Red Sea, started to migrate to Mediterranean waters after the opening of the Suez Channel in 1869. Since they do not have any predators in the Mediterranean Sea, their population increased in number very fast.
