ResumoNew records of 13 red lionfish Pterois volitans (Linnaeus, 1758) collected in 2021 in commercial fisheries for lobster Panulirus argus (Latreille, 1804) and snapper Lutjanus purpureus (Poey, 1866) in the Great Amazon Reef System. We provide information about the first occurrence in the Amazon continental shelf in Pará State, depth, target fishery, fishing gear and size of the specimens. These records expand the geographic distribution of P. volitans and the knowledge about its invasion in Brazil.
