Sažetak
This Collective Article presents information on 17 taxa belonging to five (5) Phyla and extending from the Alboran Sea to the Levantine Sea. These new records were found in six (6) different ecoregions as follows: Alboran Sea: Second and easternmost record of the sponge Chalinula nigra in the Mediterranean Sea ; Western Mediterranean: first record of the rare gobid Gobius couchi for Spain, based on both morphological and molecular data ; new records for the rare ascidian Ciona edwardsi from the Marine Protected Area of Tavolara, Sardinia ; several records for four (4) different species of black coral, Antipathella subpinnata, Antipathes dichotoma, Leiopathes glaberrima and Parantipathes larix from the Aeolian Archipelago, all of which are currently threatened and/or protected at a Mediterranean level ; the first documented records of the sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus in Calabria, which is considered "Critically Endangered" in Italy ; first record in the Tyrrhenian Sea and second record in the Ionian Sea for the crab Ocypode cursor, which seems to be rapidly expanding its distribution range across Italian waters ; Adriatic Sea: Additional records of yellowmouth barracuda, Sphyraena viridensis, in the northern Adriatic, which seems to be experimenting a meridionalization process in the region ; Aegean Sea: First confirmed record of the iconic gastropod Bursa scrobilator scrobilator in the eastern Mediterranean Sea ; an additional record for the vulnerable shark Dalatias licha, also being the largest individual caught in eastern Mediterranean waters till the time of capture ; an additional record for the rare crab Distolambrus maltzami, sug-gesting the species might be more morphologically variable than originally thought ; first documented record for the myctophid Hygophum hygomii in both Turkish waters and the north Aegean Sea ; additional records for the tuna Katsuwonus pelamis and the sunfish Ranzania laevis in the eastern Mediterranean, pointing out that both species might not be as rare in the area as previously thought ; Levantine Sea: additional records for the rare stingray Taeniura grabata in Turkish waters.
