Abstract
A specimen of the marbled spinefoot Siganus rivulatus Forsskål & Niebuhr, 1775, a new fish species for the Black Sea, was caught on November 10, 2020, in the waters of Dvuyakornaya Bay near the city of Feodosiya in the northeastern part of the Black Sea. The 2-year-old fish had a total body length of 124.2 mm and height of 35.7 mm. The morphology of the main elements of the fish’s body and its teeth are described. The path of spreading of this species from its native range (western part of the Indian Ocean) to the Mediterranean and Black seas has been traced. The potential place of this species in the Black Sea ecosystem is discussed.
期刊介绍:
Russian Journal of Biological Invasions publishes original scientific papers dealing with biological invasions of alien species in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and covers the following subjects:description of invasion process (theory, modeling, results of observations and experiments): invasion corridors, invasion vectors, invader species adaptations, vulnerability of aboriginal ecosystems;monitoring of invasion process (reports about findings of organisms out of the limits of natural range, propagule pressure assessment, settling dynamics, rates of naturalization);invasion risk assessment; genetic, evolutional, and ecological consequences of biological invasions of alien species; methods, means of hoarding, processing and presentation of applied research data (new developments, modeling, research results, databases) with factual and geoinformation system applications;use of the results of biological invasion research (methods and new basic results) under the study of marine, fresh-water and terrestrial species, populations, communities and ecosystems; control, rational use and eradication of the harmful alien species..
