Abstract Aim We examine fish invasions in the south‐eastern M editerranean as a model system for invasibility of open coasts and provide perspectives through review global marine invasions.

Few seas have evidenced an environmental impact throughout human history to the degree that eastern Mediterranean has. In last century alone, Levant Basin has seen opening of Suez Canal, leading a massive Red Sea biological invasion, and construction Aswan Dam on Nile River, abrupt cessation its annual floodwaters. These man-made activi- ties had serious causing collapse some fisheries, creation others, large- scale alterations in ecosystem. This book deals with fish species living includes...
A new and updated checklist of the fishes Red Sea is presented. total 1078 species belonging to154 families, 25 orders two classes are listed. The number considerably lower than that given in last (CLOFRES II, Goren Dor, 1994) which included all records, "quotations" distribution maps without distinguishing between substantiated unsubstantiated records. In addition, an annotated list provided for those were recorded unjustifiably CLOFRES II subsequent publications.
ABSTRACT A general study of the marine ichthyofauna eastern Levant is presented. historical survey ichthyofaunistic literature on area reveals a constant rate increase in number new recorded species, resulting from increased collection effort and continuous influx species Red Sea origin. An annotated list 30 newly-recorded two first substantiated records given. checklist Levantine including 405 within 125 families database was compiled with respect to local conditions abundance, habitat...
The current checklist provides for each species of the Red Sea its records in Gulf Suez, Aqaba, main basin and general distribution.This new fishes enumerates 1207 species, representing 164 families. Of these, 797 were recorded from Aqaba 339 Suez. number Suez is evidently lower than actual not including 27 Lessepsian (Red Sea) migrants to Mediterranean that most likely occur Gulf. list includes 73 newly described science since last 2010. specious Osteichthyes families are: Gobiidae (134...
Our current understanding of the mechanisms that lead to successful biological invasions is limited. Although adaptations play a central role in invasions, genetic studies have so far failed produce unified theory. The bluespotted cornetfish, recent Red Sea invader Mediterranean via Suez Canal, provides an ideal case study for research invasive genetics. In this study, we show invading cornetfish underwent severe population bottleneck reduced diversity immigrant only two mitochondrial...
Cartilaginous fish are particularly vulnerable to anthropogenic stressors and environmental change because of their K-selected reproductive strategy. Accurate data from scientific surveys landings essential assess conservation status develop robust protection management plans. Currently available often incomplete or incorrect as a result inaccurate species identifications, due high level morphological stasis, especially among closely related taxa. Moreover, several diagnostic characters...
Abstract Biological invasions are increasingly creating ecological and economical problems both on land in aquatic environments. For over a century, the Mediterranean Sea has steadily been invaded by Indian Ocean/Red species (called Lessepsian invaders) via Suez Canal, with current estimate of ~450 species. The bluespotted cornetfish, Fistularia commersonii , considered ‘Lessepsian sprinter’, entered 2000 2007 had spread through entire basin from Israel to Spain. situation is unique...
Abstract The last decade has seen a considerable increase in the amount of ichthyofaunistic studies throughout countries Eastern Mediterranean. As result, we now have more accurate picture distribution Red Sea fishes (Lessepsian migrants) region. A clear gradient emerges, with 54 substantiated records on Israeli‐Lebanese coast. decreases along northern and southern coast eastern Mediterranean, as spreads westward. Only four Lessepsian fish species been found central region and, to date, none...
The present study assesses the resource partitioning between two Red Sea colonizers, goldband goatfish Upeneus moluccensis and brownband U. pori , indigenous Mediterranean goatfishes, red mullet Mullus barbatus striped M. surmuletus along coast of Israel. Niche separation was studied three axes: habitat selection, feeding habits spawning season. Habitat selection is most significant parameter separating species. colonizing species occupy a shallow habitat, dominating primarily sandy bottom...
The spatiotemporal patterns of discards and catch composition Israeli trawlers were examined using a 4-year (1990-1994), 324 haul dataset. Haul depth was found to be the main grouping variable for hauls, although significant seasonal differences also found. 28.3% total discarded, there 40.1% discard percentage in shallow hauls. According these figures, annual trawl fleet study period are estimated at ca. 440 700 t. Both biomass number discarded specimens peaked summer, as well juvenile fish...
Three specimens of the Indo‐Pacific Bluespotted cornetfish Fistularia commersonii are recorded for first time from Mediterranean. The presence this species in Mediterranean is due to migration Red Sea via Suez Canal.
Abstract. The composition of the algal diet Siganus luridus was compared with that vegetation found in fish habitats along Mediterranean coast Israel. North‐south differences were and reflected available resources as well species selected. In northern area, selection differed considerably between S. a congeneric Lessepsian migrant siganid. rivulatus , whereas southern area two showed similarity feeding. A comparison is made populations those tropical Red Sea Gulf Elat (Aqaba). partitioning...
A checklist of the Mediterranean marine ichthyofauna Israel is presented. total 402 species belonging to 130 families, 33 orders and 3 classes are listed. The includes all synonyms for each citations known publications, listed in chronological order, concerning occurrence Israeli waters species. Citations coded indicate focus publication.
ABSTRACT The trophic adaptation of Red Sea fishes that colonized the Mediterranean via Suez Canal (Lessepsian migrants) is reviewed. All species studied retained, as expected, their basic feeding habits. Some alterations were found in diet composition and prey size, compared with those populations source area. Insufficient knowledge abundance most organisms makes it difficult to determine what extent achieved by selection preferred food. In three families (Mullidae, Sphyraenidae,...
ABSTRACT During the years 1989–1993 an intensive collection of fishes from aphotic zone (below 150 m) northern part Gulf Aqaba was conducted. This survey recorded 69 fish species, 8 elasmobranchs, and 61 teleosts, belonging to 45 families. Fifteen species are endemic Red Sea: Mustelus mosis, Narcine bentuviai, Rhinobatos punctifer, Ophichthus echeloides, Rhynchoconger sp., Physiculus marisrubri, Ostichthys hypsipterygion sufensis, Pterygotrigla Uranoscopus Parascolopsis sp.1 sp. 2, Atrobucca...
