In the beginning of 2008, on the Montenegrin coast is confirmed finding of new species, what was unknown until now in this part of Adriatic sea. The Sphoeroides cutaneus is tropical species with habitat in warm sea around Japan, China and Indonesia. Probably is one of the Lessepsian migrant. It tooks around 130 years for a fish to come through Suez Canal and Red Sea to Mediterranean, then through Otrant Strait into Adriatic sea. It is possible, also that this apparition has something with the global climate change and temperature rise in saltwater in Mediterranean as well as in Adriatic.
