CIESM Atlas of Exotic Fishes in the Mediterranean Sea
The CIESM task force responsible for this Atlas initially comprised four biologists: Drs Daniel Golani (The Hebrew Univ. of Jerusalem, Israel), Enric Massutí (Oceanographic Centre, Palma, Spain), Lidia Orsi-Relini (Univ. of Genoa, Italy) and Jean-Pierre Quignard (Univ. of Montpellier, France). They are co-authors of the volume printed in 2002 and of the data produced until 2006. At that time the group was reinforced by the addition of Dr Jakov Dulčić (Inst. of Oceanography and Fisheries, Split, Croatia); then, in 2008 by Dr Ernesto Azzurro (Inst. for Environmental Protection and Research, Milazzo, Italy).
