- Lessepsian migrant fish species from the island of Rhodes (SE Aegean
Sea, Greece), namely Etrumeus teres, Upeneus pori, Sphyraena flavicauda,
Petroscirtes ancylodon, Callionymus filamentosus, Lagocephalus suezensis,
are reported for the first time. The pufferfish Tylerius spinosissimus
is recorded for the first time from the Mediterranean Sea. These records
increase the number of the Erythrean fishes in the Eastern Mediterranean
and extend their distributions. Way of dispersion and condition of local
establishment are also discussed. |
