“…The main fishing gears operated in this region are trawling, purse-seining and small-scale fishery especially long and hand lining, trammel and gillnets. The fishing grounds along Egyptian Red Sea coast are divided into three main regions namely; Gulf of Suez region (Suez, El-Tor and Hurghada), proper Red Sea (Safaga, Quseir, Baranis, Shalatein and Abo Ramad) and Gulf of Aqaba (GAFRD, 2019 andMehanna, 2021). In between there are many small landing sites like Mersa Alam, Hemaira, Ras Banas and Halayeb.…”

“…In reef areas along the Red Sea coast of Egypt, multi-species artisanal fisheries have been the traditional way to exploit resources. They have focused on fishes of families Lethrinidae, Serranidae, Lutjanidae, Carangidae, Sparidae, Haemulidae, Scaridae and Mullidae (Mehanna, 1997&2011;Osman, 2015Osman, & 2018Mohammad, 2016;Mehanna et al, 2017;El-Mahdy, 2018 andMehanna, 2021). Unfortunately, no published data exist on the exact species composition of these families in the area.…”

This paper revised the presence of lethrinid fishes in the Egyptian Red Sea waters and discussed the first record of the black nape wide-eye bream, Gymnocranius satoi, forktail large-eye bream G. elongatus and G. oblongus. Family Lethrinidae is presented in the Egyptian Red Sea by 14 species and the three Gymnocranius species never recorded before in the area. In January 2022, 5 specimens of G. satoi, 2 specimens of G. elongatus and 7 ones of G. oblongus were recorded in the miscellaneous catch at Shalatein landing site on the Red Sea (23°09'08.10"N, 35°36'50.75"E), Egypt. The collected specimens represent the first record of the three species in the Egyptian Red sea waters. The specimens of G. satoi have a total length ranging from 24.3 and 29.4 cm and weighed 202 to 350 g total weight. The two specimens of G. elongatus have 28.8 and 38.5 cm TL and weighed 370 and 750 g. While the G. oblongus total length varied between 24.3 and 27.7 cm and weighed 202 to 290 g. The specimens' morphometric measurements and meristic counts were described. These new findings increased the number of Lethrinid species in the Egyptian Red Sea waters to 17 species.

“…The mean annual fish production from this vast area did not exceed 60 thousand tons (GAFRD;2000-2020. The fishing grounds along the Egyptian Mediterranean coast are divided into four regions, the western region (Alexandria and El-Mex, Abu-Qir, Rashid, El-Maadya and Mersa Matrouh), the eastern region (Port Said and El-Arish), the Demietta region and the Nile Delta region (GAFRD, 2020;Mehanna, 2021).…”

“…Since the earliest times, fish have played an important role in the aquatic ecosystem and represent the main source of income for many countries, especially with great economic value (Mehanna, 2022). Presently, great consideration is paid to fish production as the replicable source of protein (Waite et al, 2014;Ganguly et al, 2022).…”

Monogeneans Pricea multae naturally infested 42 of the 120 (35%) mackerel fish (Scomberomorus commerson) examined. For the first time, an infestation was discovered off the coast of Jubil in the Arabian Gulf of Saudi Arabia. Based on the structure clarified through light and electron microscopy of mounted specimens and molecular analysis of rDNA and measurements of this monogenean parasite was identified as P. multae. The tegumental surface of the parasite was characterized by tegumental ridges running transversally, generating folds in both the dorsal and ventral surfaces of the body at regular intervals. The study clarified the importance and function of the micro-structures, such as tegumental folds, perforations, sensory ganglia present on the parasite's surface, and the larger hamulus supported by a relatively unmodified internal spine. This monogenean parasite has adapted to its host infestation site uniquely.
