“…R. pretiosus is distributed in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans as well as in the Mediterranean Sea (Collette et al, 2015). Several specimens of the species have been recorded in the Adriatic Sea (Bettoso & Dulcic, 1999), the Turkish Seas and the Greek Seas (Karachle et al, 2016) and along the Libyan Coast (Elbaraasi et al, 2007). Hereby, we present the first records of R. pretiosus in the Albanian waters.…”

This Collective Article presents information on 37 taxa belonging to 6 Phyla and extending from the western Mediterranean to the Levantine Sea. The new records were found in 10 countries as follows: Algeria: first reports on the presence of the fish species Lesueurigobius sanzi, L. friesii, L. suerii and Luvarus imperiali; France: first record of the alien nudibranch Godiva quadricolor; Italy: first record of an adult-sized red emperor snapper Lutjanus sebae from the southern Tyrrhenian Sea; first record of the pantropical rhodophyte Chondria curvilineata and the Lessepsian fish Siganus luridus from southern Sicily; record of a large pregnant female Dusky shark Carcharhinus obscurus off Sicily; Albania: first record of the fish Ruvettus pretiosus, new records of the alien molluscs Conomurex persicus, Bursatella leachii, Dendostrea cf. folium, Fulvia fragilis and Ruditapes philippinarum and additional report of the alien bivalve Pinctada imbricata radiata; Montenegro: first record of the sea slug Thecacera pennigera in the Adriatic Sea; Greece: first record of the invasive calcarean sponge Paraleucilla magna in Greek waters; occupancy estimation of the established cryptogenic rhodophyte Ganonema farinosum, the alien crustacean Percnon gibbesi and the alien fish species Fistularia commersonii, Siganus luridus, and S. rivulatus along the Cretan coastline; first record of the alien mollusc Sticteulima lentiginosa in Greek waters suggesting a westward unintentional expansion of this species; Turkey: photographic evidence of interactions of the monk seal Monachus monachus with sea-cage farms in the Turkish Aegean Sea and first record of the yellow boxfish Ostracion cubicus in the Turkish Mediterranean; Cyprus: first records of the rare speleophilic fish Thorogobius ephippiatus and Grammonus ater in Cyprus, extending the known distribution of the latter Mediterranean endemic species eastwards; first records of the alien fish Kyphosus vaigiensis and the alien crustacean species Macrophthalmus indicus and Carupa tenuipes as well as additional records of the alien echinoderm Diadema setosum and the alien ascidian Symplegma brakenhielmi in the country; Lebanon: first report on the presence of the four alien fish species Cephalopholis taeniops, Equulites popei, Pseudupeneus prayensis and Sphoeroides pachygaster; Egypt: first record of the Lessepsian fish Synchiropus sechellensis in the Egyptian Mediterranean waters.

“…The specimen measured 55 cm total length and weighed 1272 g total weight. Meristic counts and morphometric measurements are compared in Table with those in other publications (Bettoso and Dulcic, ; Kaya and Bilecenoğlu, ; Elbaraasi et al., ). The morphological features are well known, and those of the captured specimen are in full agreement with the textbooks: slightly compressed elongated body; large mouth, not protractile, with strong teeth in both jaws; large and round eyes; single lateral line, often obscure; very rough skin on body and covered with cycloid scales, interspersed with rows of sharp bony tubercles; belly keeled between ventral fins and anus.…”

“…Ruvettus pretiosus are usually found in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans as well as the Mediterranean Sea (Froese and Pauly, ). A first report in the Mediterranean was in 1987 (Fischer et al., ), in northern Turkish waters for the first time by Kaya and Bilecenoğlu (), and by Bettoso and Dulcic () in the Adriatic Sea. Ruvettus pretiosus was further reported from Benghazi in March 2004 off the Libyan coast (southern Mediterranean) (Elbaraasi et al., ).…”

“…Dul i & Grbec (2000) report that the first two responses are seen in the first occurrence of 15 subtropical and tropical species (e.g. Ruvettus pretiosus; Bettoso & Dul i , 1999), and an increase in frequency of occurrence of other southern species (Sardinella aurita and Balistes carolinensis). A striking example of a new occurrence is Plectorhinchus mediterraneus, found in the Gulf of Trieste and Piran Bay in the Northern Adriatic (northernmost record -no haemulids have been recorded from the Adriatic before) (Lipej et al, 1996;Dul i & Lipej, 1997).…”
