Prvi zapis o nalazu Kyphosus vaigiensis (Ribe: Kyphosidae) na sredozemnoj obale Libije
In the present paper we report the first record of the Brassy Chub Kyphosus vaigiensis (Quoy
and Giamard, 1825) from the Mediterranean coast of Libya. It is assumed that this species arrived
into the Mediterranean from the Red Sea via the Suez Canal. We stress the need of taxonomic study
on the genus Kyphosus in the Mediterranean.Prvi zapis o nalazu vrste Kyphosus vaigiensis (Ribe: Kyphosidae) na sredozemnoj obali Libije.
Pretpostavlja se da je ova vrsta u Sredozemlje stigla iz Crvenog mora preko Sueskog kanala.
Ističemo potrebu taksonomskog istraživanja roda Kyphosus u Sredozemlj
Two New Fish Records from the Mediterranean Sea, of the Libyan coast: The undulate ray Raja undulata (Lac´ep`ede,1802) and the Atlantic wreckfish, Polyprion americanus (Bloch and Schneider,1801)
The discovery of new alien species in Libyan waters, whether introduced by Lessepsian migration from the Red Sea or the Atlantic Ocean, has recently received much attention. This shows that marine life is still thriving in Libyan waters. Raja undulata (SL: 47cm, TL: 51 cm), weighing 18 kg, was caught from Derna coast by a bottom trawl haul on 20th July 2022, at a depth of 100 m. On the other hand, a single Polyprion americanus specimen (SL: 79 cm, TL: 97 cm) weighing 16.447 kg was caught by longline on the coast of Tripoli on 19th June 2022, at a depth of 500 m. The present study aims to document the first record of Raja undulate and the second record of Atlantic wreckfish, Polyprion americanus, from Libyan waters. This observation is detailed in this note
