"Based on our genetic results, it is difficult to determine if the Cyprus sample is an aquarium release or a Lessepsian immigrant, because this species is found worldwide and shows little genetic differentiation at the COI marker level. It is plausible that a careless aquarium hobbyist released the fish after it outgrew the aquarium, as it is a relativaley common practice (Semmens, Buhle, Salomon, & Pattengill-Semmens, 2004). Further work, sampling and observations are therefore necessary to conclusively elucidate the introduction pathway" (Kleitu et al. 2020).
