“…Overall, through the present data and the previous observations (Ortea et al, 1982;Lombardo & Marletta in Gerovasileiou et al, 2020), it was checked that T. tritorquis is a sciaphilous species that lives in shallow waters (within 10 m), among algae or under the stones probably feeding on sponges, as other species of the genus Taringa (Perrone, 1985).…”

“…Since in Sicily three specimens have been observed throughout three years (from 2018 to 2020), it could be hypothesized that T. tritorquis has settled in this area. However, since this species was documented only twice in the Mediterranean Sea (Lombardo & Marletta in Gerovasileiou et al, 2020; present work), there are not enough data to define if T. tritorquis is a native or non-indigenous species. Indeed, because of its small size and cryptic behavior, this species is not easy to detect and probably is rare and has been overlooked until now.…”

“…Instead, the actual distribution of T. tritorquis includes Canary Islands, Sicily and probably Madeira (Lombardo & Marletta in Gerovasileiou et al, 2020). Since in Sicily three specimens have been observed throughout three years (from 2018 to 2020), it could be hypothesized that T. tritorquis has settled in this area.…”

“…Therefore, according to Ortea et al (1982), this species differs for its distinct external morphology, due to the presence of characteristic tubercles in the rhinophore and the gill sheaths and for the coloring. The first report of T. tritorquis in the Mediterranean Sea was based on the finding of two specimens in a station called Santa Maria La Scala, located along the Ionian coast of Sicily (Lombardo & Marletta in Gerovasileiou et al, 2020).…”

In the present paper, two sea slug species, Biuve fulvipunctata (Baba, 1938) (Gastropoda Cephalaspidea) and Taringa tritorquis Ortea, Perez & Llera, 1982 (Gastropoda Nudibranchia), are reported for the second time in the Ionian coasts of Sicily (Italy). Biuve fulvipunctata is an Indo-West Pacific cefalaspidean, previously reported for Italian territorial waters only in Faro Lake (Messina, Sicily). Taringa tritorquis is a species originally described for Canary Islands and hitherto found in Sicily and probably in Madeira. Both species are easily identifiable for their characteristic external morphology. Indeed, B. fulvipunctata shows a W-shaped pattern of white pigment on the head, while T. tritorquis presents rhinophore and gill sheaths with spiculous tubercles crown-shaped and an orange-yellowish body coloring. Since B. fulvipuctata has been previously reported in Faro Lake, probably, the specimen reported in this note could have been taken in veliger stage through the Strait of Messina currents. Otherwise, the veliger has been carried attached to the keel of boats. Instead, it is still unclear if T. tritorquis could be a native or non-indigenous species of the Mediterranean Sea. Indeed, due to its small size and its sciaphilous behavior, it might be a rare species, overlooked until now.

“…In the Aegean Sea, T. belone is occasionally observed in pelagic swordfish gillnets and/or longlines. Recently a specimen caught by a beach-seine was reported from Rhodes Island (Corsini-Foka et al, 2020). Another specimen (120 cm LJFL) was caught by pelagic swordfish gillnet in Müsellim Strait (Edremit Bay, northern Aegean Sea) at a depth of 300 m on June 13, 2002 (O. Akyol, unpublished data).…”

Tetrapturus belone is endemic to the Mediterranean and it is more common in central parts. It is considered very rare in the Levant. On 20 October 2020, a specimen of Tetrapturus belone with 176 cm Lower Jaw Fork Length (LJFL) and weighing 26 kg was captured by a trammel net from the coast of Karantina Island, Urla at a depth of 11 m. This is the second record of the epipelagic T. belone entering the shallow waters of İzmir Bay, nine years after its first record in the same area. This ichthyologic note presents a new occurrence of the Mediterranean spearfish as an incidental catch from the small scale fishery in a certain coastal area of Urla,

This Collective Article presents new information about the occurrence of 23 marine taxa that belong to five Phyla: two Chlorophyta, one Annelida, six Mollusca, three Arthropoda, eleven Chordata (one Ascidiacea, one Elasmobranchii and nine Teleostei) and extending from the Western Mediterranean to the Levantine Sea. All these records were reported from nine countries from the western to the eastern Mediterranean Sea, with a broad biogeographical coverage as follows: Spain: first records of the sacoglossans Cyerce graeca and Placida tardyi for the Alboran Sea and first records of the nudibranch Marionia gemmii for the Mediterranean waters of Spain; first records of nudibranch Algarvia alba in the Mediterranean Sea. Italy: First report of the long-legged crab Paragalene longicrura, a further new Mediterranean record of the rare offshore rockfish Pontinus kuhlii, first documented record of the spiny butterfly ray Gymnura altavela in Sardinia (Tyrrhenian Sea), new record of the red‐spotted wrasse Lappanella fasciata from the Messina Strait, first documented record of the rarely observed brown moray Gymnothorax unicolor in the Ionian coast, first record of the colonial ascidian Botrylloides israeliensis, first record of the Morocco dentex Dentex maroccanus, first record of mottled shore crab Pachygrapsus maurus and of an adult specimen of barracudina Lestidiops sphyrenoides in the Adriatic Sea, and further new Mediterranean records of Ross worm Sabellaria spinulosa along the same coast. Tunisia: second record of smalleye squaretail Tetragonurus cuvieri from the African Mediterranean coast. Slovenia: first records of the sea slug Trapania graeffei and Melanochlamys wildpretii, with the last one also representing the northernmost finding of this species. Croatia: northernmost record of the endangered twaite shad Alosa fallax in the Adriatic coast. Albania: first records of the Mediterranean spearfish Tetrapturus belone. Türkiye: first record from the Aegean coasts for Türkiye of the green macroalgae Cladophora battersii and Valonia aegagropila. Israel: first record of the skeleton shrimp Caprella acanthifera in the Southeastern Mediterranean Sea. Syria: first record of the Smooth grenadier Nezumia aequalis from Syrian marine waters.
