Abstract
This study presents updated information on six exotic aquatic species (five crustaceans and one fish): Macrobrachium rosenbergii, Penaeus monodon, Charybdis hellerii, Balanus trigonus, Amphibalanus improvisus, and Pterois volitans. The research is based on bibliographic information available in scientific articles published by the Research Group Fishing and Evaluation of Tropical Fishery Resources and Biological and Photographic Records obtained from research projects conducted by CEPNOR/ICMBio. Currently, M. rosenbergii shrimp is classified as an invasive species, P. monodon is classified as a detected species, and C. hellerii is currently classified as an established species, but there are strong indications that it should be reclassified as invasive. The barnacles A. improvisus and B. trigonus have been classified as invasive, and lionfish P. volitans strongly exhibits advanced invasion process owing to its high frequency of capture in commercial fisheries.
