Sea Fish

Thirty nine immigrant fish species from the Red sea were observed in seven regions of Egyptian Mediterranean waters during 2013- 2021. These were divided according to their importance in the fish markets into economic species (18) and non-economic species (21). Port- Said region (North opening of Suez Canal) constituted high percentage of occurrence (49.1% of all species) followed by Alexandria (41.9%), Abu-Qir (5.2%) and Marsa Matruh (3.7%). Thirteen new species were recorded in the present review whereas fifteen fish species in the checklist given by Halim and Rizkalla (2011) were not encountered in the study area during the study period. Alepes djedaba and Siganus rivulatus were the most important economic species established in Port Said region, whereas Nemipterus randalli and Sargocentrum rubrum were the more dominant in Alexandria region, Also Nemipterus randalli was well established in Abu-Qir area while Upeneus pori was abundant in Marsa Matruh region.

Taxonomic Studies

A total of six Red Sea inshore fish species with wide Indo-Pacific distribution, including Lessepsian migrants that reached the Mediterranean Sea via the Suez Canal, were studied and compared genetically to conspecific populations from Japan and the Seychelles. Examination of the cytochrome c oxidase 1 (COI) gene of Apogon cyanosoma, Sargocentron rubrum, Upeneus moluccensis, Spratelloide sdelicatulus, Gerres oyena and Terapon jarbua from Japan, the Red Sea, the Seychelles and the Mediterranean revealed that in five out of six fish species, a difference greater than 4% was found. These results indicate the importance of DNA genetic analysis in revealing possible cryptic species and supplementing classic taxonomic studies, as well as contributing to a reappraisal of the zoogeography and evolution of Indo-Pacific ichthyofauna and enhancing our understanding of fish biodiversity.

First Time

Two Red Sea immigrant fish species, Fistularia commersoni (Fistularidae) and Sphyraena flavicauda (Sphyraenidae), are reported for the first time from the Anatolian coast (Turkey) and for the second time from the Mediterranean Sea. Occurrence of Lagocephalus suezensis (Tetraodontidae) at the southern Turkish coast is substantiated and a new record of this species in the Aegean Sea is presented.
