| Abstract: | Salaria basilisca is a blenny (Blenniidae) endemic to the Mediterranean Sea. Our current understanding of its biology and ecology is limited, and only a few scattered data are available regarding its abundance and distribution. This paper introduces the first targeted study aiming to expand our knowledge of S. basilisca with new data obtained through the discovery of a stable population of the species in Sicily. Several couples guarding nests were observed in August 2022 in Marsala (southwestern Sicily). The species inhabits shallow seabed areas covered with seagrass, with its spatial distribution varying between daylight and nighttime hours. Finally, the paper underlines the importance of collaboration between citizen scientists and researchers in natural sciences, as some of these new data were collected through citizen science. |
