“…Since then, several reports validate its presence in the eastern Mediterranean basin, but until recently its known range of establishment was mostly restricted to the Levantine Sea, and more specifically to the coasts of Israel, Lebanon, Cyprus, and south-western Turkey (Crocetta et al, 2013 and references therein). However, according to a previous report in Eleftheriou et al (2011) and additional observations presented herein, the actual distribution range of F. rubrolineata seems to have expanded into the Aegean Sea (Greece). Several sightings of this nudibranch have been recorded since 2009 in different parts of the Aegean Sea (Fig.…”

According to reports, the following 16 species have extended their distribution to other Mediterranean areas or have made a new appearance in other regions. The first category includes the following organisms: The rare and common Indo-Pacific seaweed Codium arabicum (Lebanese coasts), the acari Thalassarachna affinis (Marmara Sea), and the non-indigenous nudibranch Flabellina rubrolineata, which has been found in several areas of the Aegean Sea. In addition, the rare sea slug Thecacera pennigera (Mar Piccolo of Taranto), the fangtooth moray Enchelycore anatina (National Marine Park of Zakynthos, Ionian Sea), the carangid Seriola fasciata (Gulf of Antalya), Lagocephalus sceleratus (SE Ionian Sea), the reticulated leatherjacket Stephanolepis diaspros (Slovenia, N. Adriatic Sea), the marbled stingray, Dasyatis marmorata (NE Levantine), the starry smooth-hound Mustelus asterias (Iskenderun Bay, NE Mediterranean), the cephalopod Ommastrephes bartramii (Ionian Sea) have also been reported. The Atlantic crab Dyspanopeus sayi has expanded to many Italian areas and the blue crab Callinectes sapidus to a lake in N. Greece and in the S. Adriatic Sea. Finally, Farfantepenaeus aztecus has been found in the Ionian Sea, thus showing its wide expansion in the Mediterranean. The larval stages of Faccionella oxyrhyncha have been found, after many years, in the Aegean Sea and the first report of an existence on intersexual acari Litarachna duboscqi in Split (Adriatic Sea) was reported.

“…The first record in Hellenic waters dates back to 1947-1948(Serbetis, 1959, but Nehring (2011) suggested that the species was present as early as 1935 in the Gulf of Thessaloniki. Recent records in the Adriatic-Ionian Sea refer to Croatia (Onofri et al, 2008;Dulčić et al, 2011), Italy (Florio et al, 2008), Albania (Beqiraj and Kashta, 2010) and Greece (Eleftheriou et al, 2011). The last record was based on a female specimen collected close to the mouth of the River Pamisos in SW Greece and therefore, documentation on the presence of the species is lacking for a large part of the Eastern Ionian Sea, ranging from northern Albania to southern Greece.…”

This paper presents records extending or confirming the distribution of Mediterranean species. Three alien algae are included, namely Codium taylorii reported for the first time from the Aegean and Turkey (Izmir Gulf), Caulerpa racemosa var. cylindracea (Karpathos and Chalki Isl., Aegean Sea) and Ganonema farinosum (Karpathos Isl., Aegean Sea). As far as animals are concerned, Litarachna divergens (Acari: Hydrachnidia) was recorded (Side, Eastern Mediterranean) and represents a new amendment at genus level for Turkish fauna. Other invertebrates include alien species such as the crabs Dyspanopeus sayi (Lago Fusaro, SW Italy), Percnon gibbesi (Larnaca, Cyprus; Karpathos and Chalki Isl., Aegean Sea) and Callinectes sapidus (Voda estuary, NW Greece), the nudibranch Aplysia dactylomela (Boka Kotorska Bay, Montenegro), the gastropod Conomurex persicus (Karpathos and Chalki Isl., Aegean Sea) and the bryozoan Electra tenella (Livorno harbour and Messina Straits area). The alien fish Siganus luridus, Siganus rivulatus, Fistularia commersonii, Sphyraena chrysotaenia and Sargocentron rubrum are also reported from the islands of Karpathos and Chalki, and Pteragogus pelycus from Heraklion Bay, Crete. In addition, new localities for four rare Mediterranean inhabitants are given: the cephalopod Thysanoteuthis rhombus (NW Sardinia) and the fish: Lampris guttatus (Calabria, S Italy), Petromyzon marinus (Gokova Bay) and Remora australis (Saronikos Gulf), while the opisthobranch gastropod Cerberilla bernadettae is reported for the first time from the E Mediterranean (Cyprus). Finally, three species of the Aegean ascidiofauna are recorded for the first time: Lissoclinum perforatum, Ciona roulei and Ecteinascidia turbinata. Furthermore, it was established that Phallusia nigra has extended its distributional range to the north of the Aegean Sea.

“…This caprellid, identified later as Caprella scaura (Templeton 1836) by Sandro Ruffo (Krapp et al 2006), represented the first and only introduced caprellid reported in the Mediterranean Sea. During the last decade, this Indopacific species has spread very fast across the Mediterranean Sea and has expanded its non-native range to the East Atlantic coast (Sconfietti et al 2005;Krapp et al 2006;Galil 2008;Martínez and Adarraga 2008;Ben Souissi et al 2010;Bakir and Katagan 2011;Guerra-García et al 2011a;Eleftheriou et al 2011). In September 2010, an established population of another alien caprellid, the tropical species Paracaprella pusilla Mayer 1890, was found for the first time in European waters, in the fouling community of a marina on the southwest Atlantic coast of Spain (Ros and GuerraGarcía 2012).…”
