- Abstract
The original distribution of Caucasian dwarf goby (Knipowitschia caucasica) is the marine and brackish water habitat types of coastal areas, but also common in the lower, estuarine reaches of rivers. The first record of the species in the Carpathian Basin was in the Hungarian section of the River Szamos in 2009. The Caucasian dwarf goby had become a species of mass occurrence in the Lake Tisza reservoir located at the middle section of the River Tisza in 2013. The fast downward spread had been detected, so it was occurred from the the lower section of the River Tisza at the Serbian border. We collected the first specimens in the Serbian river sections at Senta and Kanjiža in March 2015. As a result of our collection at the Vojvodinan reach of the River Tisza can be stated that a new invasive goby species had naturalized in Serbia and its further spreading can be expected.
