“…The individual living period and season corresponding to each data point of statolith δ 18 O values were established through the examination of microstructure. During the defined period, water temperature and salinity were obtained from the HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model website (HYCOM) 1 and are presented in a spatial resolution of 0.08 • × 0.08 • at the depths of 0, 30, 50, and 100 m, according to the living depth of this species (Roper et al, 1984;Tomano et al, 2016;Ammar and Maaroof, 2019). Next, we set the unit of the spatial grid at 0.4 • × 0.4 • to establish the movement pattern because this spatial grid covers the minimum range of squids captured in the adult stage in the present study (Figure 1).…”

Sepioteuthis lessoniana is a widely distributed neritic squid in the Indo-Pacific Ocean. It is an important species in fisheries, but species management is difficult because of inadequate information regarding its life history. The daily growth and δ 18 O values from the core to the edge of statoliths of S. lessoniana collected in northern Taiwan were analyzed to predict the experienced temperature history along with ontogenetic stages. The probability of occurrence in a given area at each life stage in three seasonal groups was determined using salinity values, deduced and measured temperatures, and the known ecology of S. lessoniana. The results showed that ontogenetic variation in the statolith δ 18 O values in S. lessoniana reflected the seasonal temperature fluctuation observed in Taiwanese waters, which indicated the reliability of the prediction method. Complex and diverse distribution and movement patterns were observed in the three seasonal groups. The results also indicated the importance of the waters near the coast of northeastern Taiwan as a spawning ground. Based on a model prediction, the distribution of S. lessoniana is likely associated with water temperature and current. A potential migration route from the Penghu Islands to northeastern Taiwan suggests a high level of population connectivity in S. lessoniana in Taiwan. This study provides information on the spatial and vertical distribution of S. lessoniana at various ontogenetic stages, which is essential for resource management and conservation of this commercial species.

“…Several recent additional records of S. lessoniana have been reported in the eastern Mediterranean Sea (CORSINI-FOKA et al, 2010;CROCETTA et al, 2014;AMMAR & MAAROOF, 2019;KATSANE-VAKIS et al, 2020). AMMAR & MAAROOF 2019collected two specimens (15.5 and 17.9 cm ML) off the Syrian coasts by bottom trawl fishery, whereas both CROCETTA et al (2014) and KAT-SANEVAKIS et al (2020) reported several specimens observed underwater, in the upper 6 m depth.…”

The present review critically assesses the records of cephalopods that have entered the Mediterranean Sea in the last few decades. It includes 13 species, namely Sepia dollfusi, Stoloteuthis leucoptera, Sepioteuthis lessoniana, Architeuthis dux, Cranchia scabra, Taonius pavo, Megalocranchia sp., Teuthowenia megalops, Cycloteuthis sirventi, Taningia danae, Octopus cyanea, Amphioctopus sp. and Tremoctopus gracilis. The presence of Sepia pharaonis needs to be confirmed, whereas that of Sepia gibba and Spirula spirula is excluded. The arrivals from the Atlantic Ocean through the Strait of Gibraltar are related to the entrance surface current, which either carried passively planktonic paralarvae or favoured in some other way the entrance of subadult and adult stray specimens. As a matter of fact, all Atlantic cephalopods are pelagic oegopsid squids, with the exception of the nekto-benthic sepiolid S. leucoptera; all of them have been found only in the western Mediterranean basin. None of them seemingly established a stable population there, apart from the latter species. On the contrary, the cephalopods entering the Mediterranean from the Red Sea through the Suez Canal (Lessepsian migrants) lead a benthic mode of life. At least two of them, namely S. lessoniana and Amphioctopus sp., set up stable populations in the eastern basin. Lastly the occurrences of the pelagic octopod T. gracilis are ascribed, in the literature, to human-mediated transfer.

“…Subsequently, this species was documented by underwater video camera off the coast of Israel (Mienis, 2004). Afterwards, it was recorded near the coasts of Rhodes (SE Aegean Sea) (Lefkaditou et al, 2009), Lebanon (Crocetta et al, 2014), Libya (Shakman http://epublishing.ekt.gr | e-Publisher: EKT | Downloaded at 28/08/2020 02:52:36 | et al, 2017) and Syria (Ammar & Maaroof, 2019).…”

This is the second collective paper issued in 2019, currently amalgamates new knowledge on the Mediterranean geographic distributions of 17 species from five phyla (six aliens, three cosmopolitans, two east Atlantic records and six natives). The acknowledged species were reported from ten countries, mentioned here from west to east: Spain: first report of the east Atlantic grouper Cephalopholis taeniops in the western Mediterranean and an inclusion of Pontarachna puntulum and Litarachna communis to the pontarachnid fauna of Spain; Morocco: first record of Solea senegalensis from the Moroccan Mediterranean coast; Algeria: a valid confirmation for the presence of Sardinella maderensis; Malta: a first record of the Red Sea stomatopod Erugosquilla massavensis; Italy: a rare observation of the crab Paragalene longicrura from Siciliy and a further integration of the alien brown shrimp Penaeus aztecus to the commercial catch in Sicily; Montenegro: a first record of the Lessepsian bigfin reef squid Sepioteuthis lessoniana from the Adriatic Sea; Turkey: northernmost documentation of the Mediterranean flatworm Prostheceraeus giesbrechtii in the Aegean Sea; Israel: a solid confirmation for the population establishment of both the alien rock shrimp Sicyonia lancifer and two species of angelfish, and a first and deepest record of the crystalline goby Odondebuenia balearica; Lebanon: first record of the jellyfish Pelagia noctiluca; Syria: first records of the crown jellyfish Nausithoe punctate and the smallscale codlet Bregmaceros nectabanus.
