Abstract:

The Mediterranean Sea is substantially a biodiversity hotspot for marine species; this is mainly due to climate changes and human activities. The spotfin cardinal fish Jaydia queketti (Apogonidae), which originally exists in the tropical and subtropical water, had been recorded previously in the Syrian marine waters and represented only by one individual. This study presents that new alive individuals of J.queketti were caught from Banyas coast. This existence may indicate population enlargement of J.queketti in the Syrian marine waters.

Keywords:

Mediterranean, Apogonidae, Jaydia queketti, climate changes, Syrian marine waters.
