| Abstract |
Thriving populations of the Spiny Oyster Spondylus spinosus Schreibers, 1793, an Indo-Pacific bivalve, are reported from off the Mediterranean coast of Israel. The taxonomy and nomenclature of this new Lessepsian migrant are briefly discussed. The polymorphism of the Mediterranean specimens is discussed. Their habitat is described, and the epibionts and predators in the Mediterranean are enumerated. |
