Popis: In the area of the East side of the southern Adriatic, in recent years we have noted numerous specimens of allochthonous organisms. There are different ways of arrival of these species, but most often it is active migration to the north. Some new species pose potential threat to native species and fisheries in general. These are the dusky spinefoot (Siganus luridus), the bluespotted cornetfish (Fistularia commersonii) and the lionfish (Pterois miles). Species were recorded in the southern Adriatic, as part of fishing or by notification of sport divers. The dusky spinefoot was recorded for the first time in the Adriatic in 2010 near island of Mljet. In the area of the southern Adriatic, where a significant numbers are present, it is hunted in Donji Molunat. In three samples taken with trawler net we noted 121 specimens during October 2016. It is an herbivorous species that drives domestic species such as salema (Sarpa salpa) into deeper waters. The bluespotted cornetfish was first recorded in 2006 near the island in front of Dubrovnik (Island of Sv. Andrija). It is a carnivorous species that feeds on small fish and juveniles. Till now we have recived six specimens from fishermen. The lionfish that was first observed in August 2021 near island of Vis (Middle Adriatic) and along the Konavle coast near Dubrovnik. It is a carnivorous species that does a great damage in the areas where it occurs by feeding on juveniles. Up to now, the number of finds is dominated by dusky spinefoot and trumpeters, while the lionfish has been recorded twice. With the change of conditions in the habitats caused of climate changes and possible establishment of their population, it is possible that the number of individuals of these species will increase. That is the reason why
