Pterois miles
The lionfish Pterois miles (Bennett, 1828) (Actinopteri: Perciformes: Scorpaenidae) is one of the most dangerous invasive species in Mediterranean marine eco-systems due to its feeding behaviours and high reproduc-tive rates (Kleitou et al., 2021a). After its first records in the easternmost part of the Mediterranean Sea, the species quickly became established in the Levantine, with subse-quent records even from the central Mediterranean Sea (Dimitriadis et al., 2021). On the 27th July 2021, an individual of P. miles was captured with the use of a spear gun by a member of the Facebook group “Speciet Invazive në Bregdetin Shqipëtar/ Invasive Species in Albanian Coast” in a rocky beach (Teqeja Sarande) close to Saranda (South Albania)..
