“…To date the Suez Canal has supplied the largest number of successfully established alien species in the Mediterranean Sea (Turan, 2010;Galil et al, 2016). The numbers of alien species which have been recorded in the Mediterranean over the past century have relatively increased in recent decades.…”

“…Among the newly added species, C. roulei is a Mediterranean endemic, whereas Phallusia nigra and Herdmania momus are considered non-indigenous species (NIS) of circum(sub)tropical and Indo-pacific origin, respectively (Gerovasileiou et al 2016); both species have been probably introduced through shipping (Galil et al 2016). Another three species, i.e.…”

BackgroundThe checklist of the ascidian fauna (Tunicata: Ascidiacea) of Greece was compiled within the framework of the Greek Taxon Information System (GTIS), an application of the LifeWatchGreece Research Infrastructure (ESFRI) aiming to produce a complete checklist of species recorded from Greece. This checklist was constructed by updating an existing one with the inclusion of recently published records. All the reported species from Greek waters were taxonomically revised and cross-checked with the Ascidiacea World Database.New informationThe updated checklist of the class Ascidiacea of Greece comprises 75 species, classified in 33 genera, 12 families, and 3 orders. In total, 8 species have been added to the previous species list (4 Aplousobranchia, 2 Phlebobranchia, and 2 Stolidobranchia). Aplousobranchia was the most speciose order, followed by Stolidobranchia. Most species belonged to the families Didemnidae, Polyclinidae, Pyuridae, Ascidiidae, and Styelidae; these 4 families comprise 76% of the Greek ascidian species richness. The present effort revealed the limited taxonomic research effort devoted to the ascidian fauna of Greece, which is attributed to the lack of experts and low sampling effort. Therefore, major knowledge gaps on the ascidian diversity of Greece occur and further research in this field is needed.

“…The exponentially higher values of the mean abundance, biomass, and frequency of occurrence in winter comparing to other seasons could be related to the increasing catchability of fish in winter due to the decreasing sea temperature. There are at present a total of 384 Lessepsian migrants in the Mediterranean Sea (Galil, Marchini, & Occhipinti-Ambrogi, 2016), and this proves that changes have occurred in the ecosystem. Long-term approaches are required to monitor the exotics in proportion to local species as well as determine the seasonal and spatial distribution and status of the populations of alien species.…”

The variations in abundance, biomass and length frequency of 811 individuals of Lagocephalus sceleratus (Gmelin, 1789) according to the seasons, locations, and depth levels in the Gulf of Antalya were reported in this study. L. sceleratus was sampled from 61 of 116 hauls of commercial bottom trawl that were realized seasonally between August 2009 and April 2010, at six locations and at six depth levels (25, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200 m). The frequency of occurrence was 56.48% at the depths between 25 and 150 m, but the fish were absent at 200 m. The overall mean abundance was calculated as 136.21 ind./km 2 (11.67 ind./h) and biomass as 15.73 kg/km 2 (1.37 kg/h). The total length (TL) ranged from 11 to 50 cm, and the mean TL was calculated as 19.99 cm. According to the available data, this is the widest depth range of L. sceleratus and the deepest record of the species in the Mediterranean Sea.
