Fish samples were collected by bottom trawl. A total of 29 hauls were carried out, 15 hauls between 43 to 121 m depth in the north-eastern Levantine Sea and 14 hauls between 65 to 100 m depth in 2 the north-eastern Aegean Sea. The total trawled area for both region was 1.87 km . Cluster analysis and non-metric multidimensional scaling were applied to identify hauls grouping. Among 114 fish species found, 84 were recorded in the north-eastern Levantine Sea and 64 in the north-eastern Aegean Sea. Fifty species were found exclusively from the north- eastern Levantine Sea, 30 species exclusively from the north-eastern Aegean Sea and 34 species were shared by the two areas. The Lessepsian migrants, Upeneus moluccensis, Equulites klunzingeri, Saurida undosquamis, and the indigenous species Pagellus erythrinus were the most common species of fish assemblage in the north-eastern Levantine Sea. -
Bioinvasions in the Mediterranean Sea 2 7
Metamorphoses: Bioinvasions in the Mediterranean Sea 2 7 B. S. Galil and Menachem Goren Abstract Six hundred and eighty alien marine multicellular species have been recorded in the Mediterranean Sea, with many establishing viable populations and dispersing along its coastline. A brief history of bioinvasions research in the Mediterranean Sea is presented. Particular attention is paid to gelatinous invasive species: the temporal and spatial spread of four alien scyphozoans and two alien ctenophores is outlined. We highlight few of the dis- cernible, and sometimes dramatic, physical alterations to habitats associated with invasive aliens in the Mediterranean littoral, as well as food web interactions of alien and native fi sh. The propagule pressure driving the Erythraean invasion is powerful in the establishment and spread of alien species in the eastern and central Mediterranean. The implications of the enlargement of Suez Canal, refl ecting patterns in global trade and economy, are briefl y discussed.

Iglésias* and Lou Frotté Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, UMR BOREA 7208, Station de Biologie Marine de Concarneau, Place de la Croix, 29900 Concarneau, France E-mail: [email protected] (SPI), [email protected] (LF) *Corresponding author Received: 13 April 2015 / Accepted: 12 August 2015 / Published online: 18 September 2015 Handling editor: Ernesto Azzurro Abstract The Mediterranean Sea, due to its connection to the Red Sea via the Suez Canal, its heavy maritime traffic, and the effects of climate change is a hotspot of invasion by alien species. A survey carried out around Cyprus during September 2014 documented the occurrence of 25 alien fishes. Seven Lessepsian migrants ( Hippocampus fuscus Rüppell, 1838, Nemipterus randalli Russell, 1986, Ostorhinchus fasciatus (Shaw, 1790), Parupeneus forsskali (Fourmanoir & Guézé, 1976), Pomadasys stridens (Forsskål, 1775), Sphyraena obtusata Cuvier, 1829 and Spratelloides delicatulus (Bennett, 1832)) were recorded for the first time, increasing to 35 the number of alien fishes recorded around the island. Four of these first records can be considered as 'established', whereas the 2013 first record of Pterois volitans/miles is confirmed by new findings placing the species as newly 'established' in Cyprus. All the recorded alien fishes of Cyprus are Lessepsian migrants, 80% of which can be considered established and four of them are invasive. The rapid increase of alien fish species over time in Cyprus supports the accelerating tropicalisation process observed elsewhere in the Mediterranean over the last decades. -

CIESM Congress Session : Alien Records Moderator : Sergej Olenin, Klapeida Univ., Lithuania
CIESM Congress Session : Alien records Moderator : Sergej Olenin, Klapeida Univ., Lithuania Moderator's Synthesis Seven papers were presented in this session, co-authored by researchers from 10 countries. The thematic of the presentations ranged from the records of alien species (an ascidian in Malta, the lion fish in Cyprus, coastal plant in Romania, red alga in Tunisia) and regional overviews of non-indigenous biota (status of invasive marine species in Libya, exotic fishes in Mediterranean) to public participation in invasive species detection through social networks. The following discussion was centered on three main questions: 1) What are the best methods for early detection and correct identification of alien species; 2) How to increase the level of certainty about the pathway/vector of introduction; and 3) What are the objective methods to measure losses and gains caused by introduction of alien species? The participants expressed their opinion that in spite of rapid advent of molecular methods, it is important to support and develop the traditional taxonomic knowledge for proper identification of new non- indigenous species (NIS). Appropriately supervised 'citizen science' can provide through social networks important data on exotic species status (established, not established, rare, common, etc.), their secondary spread and impacts. Provided that data are scientifically validated and standardized, such method is especially useful for relatively large conspicuous species, such as fish. Community involvement is also an important instrument to raise public awareness on the problem of marine invasive species. There are clear gaps in the knowledge on pathways and vectors of NIS introductions, which may impact the science advice to management. -

The Eastern Mediterranean countries have for long lacked a cooperation framework as created for other areas of the Mediterranean, namely the FAO sub-regional projects AdriaMed, MedSudMed, CopeMed II and ArtFiMed. This fact leaded for some countries to be sidelined, where international and regional cooperation for fishery research and management is concerned. -

SPARKS2 1Museum of Natural Science, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge; [email protected] 2American Museum of Natural History, New York; [email protected] 3Hunter College High School, New York 4Health Professions & Human Services High School, New York 5Corresponding author Abstract A new species of Equulites is revealed using geometric morphometric techniques and is herein described. Based on features recovered in recent comparative analyses, members of Equulites have been diagnosed on the basis of internal and external male-specific traits related to their light-organ system (LOS; Sparks et al., 2005; Sparks, 2006; Sparks and Chakrabarty, 2007; Chakrabarty and Sparks, 2008). These sexually-dimorphic traits are hypothesized to allow males to signal to conspecific females in photic sexual displays using bacterially-generated luminescence (Woodland et al., 2002; Sasaki et al., 2003; Wada et al., 2005). The holotype and sole name-bearing type of Equulites leuciscus (BMNH 1858.4.21.243, 104.9 mm SL) is an adult female, and therefore lacks the diagnostic external feature of the LOS, a large, translucent flank patch, used to identify species in this genus. Geometric morphometric shape analysis of individuals ascribed to Equulites leuciscus, a traditionally widespread, “catch-all” taxon, reveals two discrete shape groups. Based on the results presented below, members of one of these groups correspond to a morphological variant that represents the new species (Equulites absconditus Chakrabarty & Sparks) described herein, whereas the other group corresponds to traditional E. -

Doğdu1, Serpil Karan1 1Molecular Ecology and Fisheries Genetics Laboratory, Marine Science Department, Faculty of Marine Science and Technology, Iskenderun Technical University, 31220 Iskenderun, Hatay, Turkey 2Fisheries Faculty, Firat University, 23119 Elazig, Turkey Abstract A checklist of non-indigenous marine fishes including bony, cartilaginous and jawless distributed along the Turkish Marine Waters was for the first time generated in the present study. The number of records of non-indigenous fish species found in Turkish marine waters were 101 of which 89 bony, 11 cartilaginous and 1 jawless. In terms of occurrence of non-indigenous fish species in the surrounding Turkish marine waters, the Mediterranean coast has the highest diversity (92 species), followed by the Aegean Sea (50 species), the Marmara Sea (11 species) and the Black Sea (2 species). The Indo-Pacific origin of the non-indigenous fish species is represented with 73 species while the Atlantic origin of the non-indigenous species is represented with 22 species. Only first occurrence of a species in the Mediterranean, Aegean, Marmara and Black Sea Coasts of Turkey is given with its literature in the list. Keywords: Checklist, non-indigenous fishes, Turkish Marien Waters Article history: Received 14 August 2018, Accepted 08 October 2018, Available online 10 October 2018 Introduction Fishes are the most primitive members of the subphylum Craniata, constituting more than half of the living vertebrate species. There is a relatively rich biota in the Mediterranean Sea although it covers less than 1% of the global ocean surface. -
