Beware of those 4! The alien fishes in our seas to know and recognize

How? The ISPRA and CNR IRBIM campaign teaches us this.

Spotted puffer fish, scorpion fish, dark rabbit fish and striped rabbit fish. The four invasive alien species of tropical origin reported in the Italian seas have all arrived from the Suez Canal, for the first time in Sicily, to which attention should be paid to avoid unpleasant accidents.

ISPRA and the Institute for Biological Resources and Marine Biotechnologies of the National Research Council (Cnr-Irbim) launch the "Beware of those 4" campaign to inform citizens, explain how to recognize them and monitor their presence and distribution in Italian waters, thanks also to reports from fishermen and divers.

ISPRA and CNR-IRBIM invite all fishermen, divers and anyone who has observed or captured one of these species in Italian waters, to document with photos / videos and send their observation via WhatsApp to the phone number + 320 4365210 or post it on Oddfish Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1714585748824288/ using the hashtag: #Attenti4
