The exhibition Who Are the Lessepsian Migrants? was opened on December 23 2013 in Dubrovnik Natural History Museum. The exhibition was devised by Jadranka Sulić Šprem, curator of the Dubrovnik Natural History Museum, Frane Čizmić, director of the State Archives in Dubrovnik and Tatjana Dobroslavić, research fellow at Dubrovnik University. The original idea for the exhibition came up after the family of Miroslav Palunk had in October 2012 donated to the museum a specimen of the Lessepsian migrant fish the silver cheeked toadfish or Lagocephalus sceleratus (Gmelin, 1789). The theme of the exhibition was the inroads made by Lessepsian migrants into the Adriatic and their biology and ecology. Since the Lessepsian migrants are aquatic organisms of various taxonomic groups, which have made their way from the Red into the Mediterranean Sea, further elaboration of the idea revealed the need to deal with the history of the cutting of the Suez Canal, and to place this grandiose undertaking within the wider geopolitical and economic context of events of the second half of the 19th century. And particular importance was assumed by the felt need to highlight the involvement of Croatian people in its production. Thus by collaboration of authors of different disciplines the first historical and natural historical exhibition in the Natural History Museum was agreed upon. The cutting of the Suez Canal had a great influence on the eastern part of the Mediterranean, where today more than 300 aquatic organisms (Lessepsian migrants) of different taxonomic groups have been recorded. At least 82 species of fish have been recorded; some of them, with their competitiveness and occupation of free ecological niches have changed the qualitative and quantitative composition of the ichthyofauna of the Mediterranean. To date, 14 fish species of Lessepsian migrants have been noted.
