(Avtor) Zava, Bruno (Avtor) Corsini-Foka, Maria (Avtor) Levantine SeaPalestineGaza Stripnon-indigenous fishLessepsian migrationcitizen scientistsSix non-indigenous fish species, all of Indo-Pacific origin, are here reported from the waters of Gaza Strip, Palestine, on the basis of photos and data collected from 2016 to 2023 on dedicated platforms through local citizen scientists and fishers contribute. Two species, Cheilinus lunulatus and Triacanthus cf. biaculeatus, are recorded for the first time in the Mediterranean Sea, and other four, Ambassis sp., Equulites cf. elongatus, Parupeneus forsskali and Heniochus intermedius are recorded for the first time in the Palestinian waters of Gaza. Although data and material were limited, the results reinforce the useful support of citizen science in monitoring introduction and/or expansion of non-indigenous species in a basin strongly affected by biological invasion, such as the eastern Mediterranean Sea.20242026-07-06 14:33:10Delo ni kategorizirano30829UDK: 5DOI: 10.19233/ASHN.2024.17slImetniki avtorskih pravic na prispevkih so avtorji.
