In order to reduce the abundance of malarial mosquitoes in the swampy regions of Colchis, intentional introduction of the mosquito fish Gambusia holbrooki (Girard, 1859) was made. The mosquito fish was brought from freshwater regions of Italy in 1925 [57] and was successfully introduced into the wetlands of the Black Sea. The mosquito fish dwells in brackish estuaries meanwhile, it behaved as an euryhaline species and expanded over the Azov-Black Sea basin. At present, it occurs in a wide salinity range from 0 to 15-17%o.
