At least 109 exotic freshwater fish species belonging to 29 families introduced there are documented. Successful introductions (established or acclimatized species at le- ast in some parts of Europe) of non - native freshwater fishes include at least 38 species (mostly of them originate from Asia and North America, lesser from Middle, South Ame- rica or Africa). Within European waters, some alien fishes can be considered invasive alien ones. A total of 160 sea alien (invasive) fish species have been reported from the Black Sea - Mediterranean Basin. Negative influences of invasive alien species to native ichtyo - fauna are discussed by the authors.Read More
