Abstract

         The Collective Article ‘New Mediterranean Biodiversity Records’ of the Mediterranean Marine Science journal offers the
means to publish biodiversity records in the Mediterranean Sea. The current article is divided in two parts, for records of native
and alien species respectively. The new records of native species include: the neon flying squid Ommastrephes bartramii in the
waters surrounding the island of Capri, Thyrrenian Sea; the bigeye thresher shark Alopias superciliosus in the Adriatic Sea; a
juvenile basking shark Cetorhinus maximus caught off Piran (northern Adriatic); the deep-sea Messina rockfish Scorpaenodes
arenai in the National Marine Park of Zakynthos (East Ionian Sea, Greece); and the oceanic puffer Lagocephalus lagocephalus
in the Adriatic Sea.

         The new records of alien species include: the red algae Antithamnionella elegans and Palisada maris-rubri, found for
the first time in Israel and Greece respectively; the green alga Codium parvulum reported from Turkey (Aegean Sea); the first
record of the alien sea urchin Diadema seto­sum in Greece; the nudibranch Goniobranchus annulatus reported from the South-
Eastern Aegean Sea (Greece); the opisthobranch Melibe viridis found in Lebanon; the new records of the blue spotted cornetfish
Fistularia commersonii along the Alicante coast (Eastern Spain); the alien fish Siganus luridus and Siganus rivulatus in Lipsi
Island, Dodecanese (Greece); the first record of Stephanolepis diaspros from the Egadi Islands Marine Protected Area (western
Sicily); a northward expansion of the alien pufferfish Torquigener flavimaculosus along the southeastern Aegean coasts of Turkey;
and data on the occurrence of the Lessepsian immigrants Alepes djedaba, Lagocephalus sceleratus and Fistularia commersonii in
the waters surrounding the island of Zakynthos (SE Ionian Sea, Greece).
