Unicorn Leatherjacket Filefish, Aluterus Monoceros (Actinopterygii: Tetraodontiformes: Monacanthidae): First Record Off the Tunisian Coast and Confirmed Occurrence in the Mediterranean Sea

“…General morphology, colour, morphometric measurements with percentages of standard length and meristic counts are in agreement with previous descriptions of A. monoceros from other regions (Berry and La Vogele 1961, Al-Baharna 1986, Quéro and Laborde 1996, Galeote et al 1996, De La Cruz-Agüero et al 2007, Guallart and Vicent 2009 (Table 1) and confirm the occurrence of the species in Tunisian waters. Additionally, this finding constitutes the first record of the species in the area, and hence it could be included in the Tunisian ichthyofauna (Bradaï et al 2004), and the second Mediterranean record.…”
