I guess know that the Montenegrin property bubble will soon burst their anti-Serb propaganda of seperatist will now be "With the Serbs gone we are becoming tropical, in 20 years half the country will be rainforest."
Montenegro Nets Tropical Fish
Blunthead puffer15 January 2008 Kotor _ A blunthead puffer, a highly poisonous fish usually found in tropical waters, has been caught in the Adriatic Sea, off the Montenegrin coast for the first time.
The fish was caught last week by fisherman Ilija Rafailovic, at a depth of some 80 metres near the Adriatic resort of Budva, the Institute for Marine Biology in Kotor said on Tuesday.
According to the Institute’s Director, Aleksandar Joksimovic, the appearance of this kind of fish in the Adriatic is probably connected to the effects of global warming.
“This is the first official finding of this species in the Montenegrin part of the Adriatic. In recent times, some 28 new fish species have been discovered in the Adriatic”, Joksimovic told Balkan Insight.
This extraordinary fish – it has four teeth, each almost a centimetre long, and is shaped like a cube - is normally not for human consumption because its skin and internal organs are highly toxic.
Its natural habitats are the tropical seas, such as those around Hawaii.
The blunthead puffer caught in Montenegro is 45 centimetres long and weighs 1.48 kg. “Although it is not suitable for eating, this fish is very useful for the biodiversity of our sea”, Joksimovic said.

Interesting, but at the same time it was caught during the warm months of the Northern Hemisphere.
