“…The WIP realm, in which the study area is located, has been divided into two distributional zones: western Indian Ocean (WIO) and eastern Indian Ocean (EIO). Many of the tropical Indian Ocean species have also been reported from the eastern Mediterranean Sea via the Red Sea and Suez Canal (Goren & Aronov, ) because of Lessepsian migration. Species having such a distribution were grouped as invading species in the temperate North Atlantic Ocean (TNAi).…”

The composition, species richness and diversity of a coastal fish assemblage from the Kalpakkam coast of south-east India are described along with temporal distribution patterns related to seasonal fluctuations in dissolved oxygen, salinity, pH, chlorophyll-a, phytoplankton and zooplankton species richness and density. A total of 244 fish species belonging to 21 orders, 87 families and 163 genera were recorded. The fish assemblage was dominated by reef-associated species, followed by demersal species. The majority of the species (63%) are widely distributed in the western Indo-Pacific as well as in the central Indo-Pacific. Jaccard's coefficient analysis showed three distinct seasonal patterns of fish occurrence: pre-monsoon (PrM), monsoon (M) and post-monsoon (PoM). The maximum number of species was during the PrM period, followed by the PoM and M periods. Species occurrence analysis showed Sardinella longiceps to be dominant during PrM and M periods, Leiognathus dussumieri during the M period and Secutor insidiator and Secutor ruconius during the M and PoM periods. Canonical correspondence analysis indicated that salinity and rainfall were the two most influential environmental factors strongly correlated with temporal variation in the fish assemblage. The physico-chemical conditions, in combination with factors such as greater food availability and shelter, might control the seasonal local distribution of the ichthyofauna in these Indian coastal waters.

“…The first apogonid fish, Apogon pharaonis (Bellotti, 1874), was collected by Haas and Steinitz in 1947 at the Palestinian coast in the Mediterranean Sea (Golani et al., ). Since the millennium, the other sequential Apogon fish records have been: A. queketti Gilchrist, 1903 from Iskenderun Bay, Turkey in October 2004 (Eryılmaz and Dalyan, ); A. smithi Kotthaus, 1970 from Israel in March 2007 (Golani et al., ); A. fasciatus (White, 1790) from Israel in December 2008 (Goren et al., ) and Cheilodipterus novemstriatus (Rüppell, 1838) from Israel in June 2010 (Goren et al., ). There are now six Apogon fish species as well as the native A. imberbis (Linnaeus, 1758) in the Mediterranean.…”
