The Greek Government will help fishermen in their fight against toxic inflators

The Greek government has announced support for fishermen battling an invasion of toxic pufferfish (Diodon holothyrus) in the Mediterranean Sea, which have caused significant damage to fisheries and marine ecosystems. The pufferfish, known for their potent toxin tetrodotoxin, have spread across nearly all Greek waters, including areas near Athens, leading to reduced catches and damaged fishing gear. According to reports, each fishing vessel suffers approximately €8,500 in annual losses due to these invasive species. The fish, originally from the Indian and Pacific Oceans, entered the Mediterranean via the Suez Canal and now threaten biodiversity by preying on local species and damaging fishing equipment.
