Izquierdo-Gómez wish to thank Jose Ruiz Verdu and
Angel Rodenas Brau for the Fistularia commersonii
alert, and the editor for the invaluable suggestions that
improved their communication. P. Balistreri and M.
Parasporo thank Mr. Vito Vaccaro and his son Paolo for
providing photos, which allowed them to identify the
specimen of Stephanolepis diaspros, and Dr. Anna Maria
Mannino (University of Palermo) for all her help. The
research on Torquigener flavimaculosus was supported
by Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University Scientific Research
Fund (BAP 13/06); S. Yapici and A. Tűrker would like to
thank the “Republic of Turkey, Ministry of Agriculture
and Rural Affairs, General Directorate of Protection and
Control” for giving diving, photography and video re-
