Six specimens of Bregmaceros nectabanus were collected during the acoustic surveyMEDIAS in two consecutive years, off Termoli (Italy) in 2020 and in Albanianwaters in 2021, during two night shallow hauls. We report the northernmost recordof the alien species in the Mediterranean Sea (Northern Adriatic Sea, FAO fishingarea 37.2.1) and one of the highest number of individuals caught in a single haul.This finding testifies a recent geographical spread to the eastern Mediterranean Seafrom its distribution area in the Indo-Pacific Ocean and Red Sea, reaching theAdriatic Sea during the 2019.

Abstract
Six specimens of Bregmaceros nectabanus were collected during the acoustic surveyMEDIAS in two consecutive years, off Termoli (Italy) in 2020 and in Albanianwaters in 2021, during two night shallow hauls. We report the northernmost recordof the alien species in the Mediterranean Sea (Northern Adriatic Sea, FAO fishingarea 37.2.1) and one of the highest number of individuals caught in a single haul.This finding testifies a recent geographical spread to the eastern Mediterranean Seafrom its distribution area in the Indo-Pacific Ocean and Red Sea, reaching theAdriatic Sea during the 2019. Our records support the hypothesis of a possibleestablishment of B. nectabanus in this basin.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
