Abstract:

Marine biological systems undergo many stressors mainly due to climate change and human activities, which break the barriers between different water bodies and allow species to move into new environments. The Mediterranean Sea is being invaded by marine species, making it a biodiversity hotspot. Labridae species are found in the tropical and subtropical waters and is represented by 25 species in the Mediterranean Sea. Pteragogustrispilus Randall, 2013 had been recorded in the Mediterranean Sea in 1991 as Lessepsian species. In 2014, it had been reported mistakenly in the Syrian marine waters as Pteragoguspelycus, this report we confirm that Pteragogustrispilus exists in the marine water of Syria: It was recorded at Banyas coast, to the north of Tartous coast where it was first recorded.

Keywords:

Mediterranean, Labridae, Pteragogustrispilus, Syrian marine waters, Lessepsian.
