Here we collated the available species records, following its first detection in the Mediterranean Sea, in January 2000, until October 2011. A total of 191 observations were used to reconstruct the invasion sequence, to provide estimates of the rate of spread and to construct an environmental suitability model based on six biophysical variables and the maximum entropy approach (MaxEnt). The results showed that colonization of the Mediterranean Sea proceeded in parallel along the southern and northern rim of the Basin at speeds that reached 1000- 1500 km · yr-1 with a clear decrease in the rate of spread at the Sicily Strait. The most important explanatory variables for describing the distribution of F.

  • Fish Movement in the Red Sea and Implications for Marine Protected Area Design
    Fish Movement in the Red Sea and Implications for Marine Protected Area Design Thesis by Irene Antonina Salinas Akhmadeeva In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Science King Abdullah University of Science and Technology Thuwal, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia April, 2021 2 EXAMINATION COMMITTEE PAGE The thesis of Irene Antonina Salinas Akhmadeeva is approved by the examination committee. Committee Chairperson: Prof. Michael L. Berumen Committee Co-Chair: Dr. Alison Green Committee Members: Dr. Darren Coker, Prof. Rusty Brainard 3 COPYRIGHT © April 2021 Irene Antonina Salinas Akhmadeeva All Rights Reserved 4 ABSTRACT Fish Movement in the Red Sea and Implications for Marine Protected Area Design Irene Antonina Salinas Akhmadeeva The Red Sea is valued for its biodiversity and the livelihoods it provides for many. It now faces overfishing, habitat degradation, and anthropogenic induced climate-change. Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) became a powerful management tool to protect vulnerable species and ecosystems, re-establish their balance, and enhance marine populations. For this, they need to be well designed and managed. There are 15 designated MPAs in the Red Sea but their level of enforcement is unclear. To design an MPA it is necessary to know if it will protect species of interest by considering their movement needs. In this thesis I aim at understanding fish movement in the Red Sea, specifically home range (HR) to inform MPA size designation. With not much empirical data available on HR for Red Sea fish, I used a Machine Learning (ML) classification model, trained with empirical literature HR measurements with Maximum Total Length (L Max), Aspect Ratio (AR) of the caudal fin, and Trophic Level as predictor variables.

De Nicola 9, 07100 Sassari, Italy The bluespotted cornetfish (Fistularia commersonii) is an Indo-Pacific species that in the last ten years colonized a large part of the Mediterranean basin. The aim of this study was to sequence some portions of the mitochondrial DNA (D-loop II, 16S, 12S and Cyt b) of this fish from different localities of the Mediterranean Sea, in order to evaluate the level of its genetic varia- bility in this area. The genetic analysis performed on specimens from seven localities of Sardinia, Tunisia and Libya revealed the presence of at least five mitochondrial lineages. The results obtained, compared with previous studies, indicate that the use of a sufficient number of mitochondrial regions may allow a more accurate estimate of genetic variability in lessepsian invasions.

This chapter presents some of the main topics covered by ecological zoogeography, involving analysis of the specific ecology of organisms on relatively small spatial and temporal scales. It begins by examining some of the most intriguing zoogeographical patterns concerning animal body size, for which Bergmann and Allen formulated two famous “ecogeographical rules” which, despite being heavily criticized, are now being re-evaluated; and also cover Rapoport’s rule, stating that that species’ latitudinal ranges are generally smaller at lower than at higher latitudes.

  • The New Maximum Length of the Invasive Lessepsian Fish
    Supplement, 2019, 4(3): 1-9 -RESEARCH ARTICLE- The New Maximum Length of the Invasive Lessepsian Fish, Bluespotted Cornetfish Fistularia commersonii (Syngnathiformes:Fistulariidae) in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea Hatice Torcu Koç*, Zeliha Erdoğan, Selin Can University of Balikesir, Faculty of Science and Arts, Department of Biology, Campus of Çağış, 10145 Balıkesir, Turkey Abstract Fourty-two fishes of the Fistularia commersonii species were caught with trawl hauls in İskenderun Bay on 21st December, 2017. One of the fish caught during the investigation was a female with 116.5 cm long in total length, 1291.88 g. in total weight. These measurements make F. commersonii the largest fish to have been collected in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, so far. Keywords: Fistularia commersonii, maximum length, Iskenderun Bay Article history: Received 05 September 2019, Accepted 27 December 2019, Available online 30 December 2019 Introduction The opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 started a process of invasion from the Red Sea into the Mediterranean. Migrating individuals were termed Lessepsian immigrants, after the Canal engineer Ferdinand de Lesseps. Lessepsian migration (movement from Red Sea biota into the Mediterranean by way of the Suez Canal), represents the major pathway of invasion for the Mediterranean Sea (Galil, 2008; Bariche et al., 2013). Currently, more than 85 species of Lessepsian fishes have been recorded in Mediterranean waters, and the list is constantly increasing (Bariche, 2011; Edelist et al., 2011; Salameh et al., 2011; Fricke et al. 2012), have probably displaced several native taxa (Golani 2010). Fistularia commersonii Ruppell, 1838, has been reported from Red Sea and East Africa to Rapa and Easter Island, north to southern Japan, south to Australia and New Zealand (Paulin et al., 1989), Eastern Central Pacific: Mexico to Panama, including offshore islands (Fritzsche et al., 1995), from Adriatic to Turkish Seas ((Whitehead et al., 1986-1987).
