| Abstract |
The recent discovery of at least three thriving populations of Chama pacifica Broderip, 1834 in the Eastern Mediterranean off Israel, means a confirmation of the presence of this Lessepsian migrant in the Mediterranean Sea some 88 years after its first recording from off Alexandria, Egypt. Mediterranean specimens, the biotope, and the epibionts and predators are described or enumerated. |
