Short summary

In 2023, global mean air temperatures reached unprecedented highs and the Mediterranean was hit by the longest marine heatwave in four decades. These conditions favoured the spread of invasive species affecting fisheries in the central Mediterranean. This study provides new insights into the cascading impacts of climate-driven extreme events on marine ecosystems and fisheries and suggests actionable strategies for dealing with invasive species in a changing climate.
