More than 103 tonnes of invasive silver-cheeked toadfish have been removed from Cypriot waters under a government-backed eradication scheme, with fisheries officials warning on Friday that the species remains one of the most significant threats facing marine ecosystems and coastal fishing communities.
The fisheries department announced that approximately 103,000 kilogrammes of the toadfish ( Lagocephalus sceleratus ) have been collected since the launch of a grant scheme in June 2024
