Abstract
In this paper, we report the northernmost Brazilian record of the red lionfish Pterois volitans (Linnaeus, 1758), highlighting the risk of bioinvasion of the species in French Guiana waters. The specimen of P. volitans was accidentally caught in June 2023, by artisanal multispecies fishery with gillnets in coastal waters in the region of Orange Cape, Oiapoque (State of Amapá) (04°43'00"N, 051°25'00"W), bordering French Guiana. The adult individual (~36 cm) was collected at a depth of 36.5 m, in a sandy-clay substrate in the continental shelf. The record of the species in the most extreme point of Brazil indicates a strong bioinvasion process of P. volitans in tropical waters; so, this work alerts the risk of the spread of the species to other countries of South America with its possible invasion in French Guiana waters.
