"Tiber Monsters" is a series that describes the strenuous sport fishing of gigantic specimens of catfish in the waters of the Tiber river. The Silurus Glanis is a particular allochthonous type of catfish introduced illegally into the waters of the Tiber River and which can reach gigantic dimensions. It is a particularly invasive species of fish that is altering the biodiversity of Italian river waters.
