  abstract = {{I}nvasive alien fishes have had pernicious ecological and economic impacts on both aquatic ecosystems and human societies. {H}owever, a comprehensive and collective assessment of their monetary costs is still lacking. {I}n this study, we collected and reviewed reported data on the economic impacts of invasive alien fishes using {I}nva{C}ost, the most comprehensive global database of invasion costs. {W}e analysed how total (i.e. both observed and potential/predicted) and observed (i.e. empirically incurred only) costs of fish invasions are distributed geographically and temporally and assessed which socioeconomic sectors are most affected. {F}ish invasions have potentially caused the economic loss of at least {US}$37.08 billion ({US}2017 value) globally, from just 27 reported species. {N}orth {A}merica reported the highest costs (>85% of the total economic loss), followed by {E}urope, {O}ceania and {A}sia, with no costs yet reported from {A}frica or {S}outh {A}merica. {O}nly 6.6% of the total reported costs were from invasive alien marine fish. {T}he costs that were observed amounted to {US}$2.28 billion (6.1% of total costs), indicating that the costs of damage caused by invasive alien fishes are often extrapolated and/or difficult to quantify. {M}ost of the observed costs were related to damage and resource losses (89%). {O}bserved costs mainly affected public and social welfare (63%), with the remainder borne by fisheries, authorities and stakeholders through management actions, environmental, and mixed sectors. {T}otal costs related to fish invasions have increased significantly over time, from <{US}$0.01 million/year in the 1960s to over {US}$1 billion/year in the 2000s, while observed costs have followed a similar trajectory. {D}espite the growing body of work on fish invasions, information on costs has been much less than expected, given the overall number of invasive alien fish species documented and the high costs of the few cases reported. {B}oth invasions and their economic costs are increasing, exacerbating the need for improved cost reporting across socioeconomic sectors and geographic regions, for more effective invasive alien fish management.},
