Abstract EN
This paper aimed to present the first record of Pterois miles (Bennet, 1828) off the Syrian coast (Eastern Mediterranean).
Two specimens (159; 206 mm SL) were captured in Syrian waters between Lattakia and Jableh in 28th September 2015 and 10th December 2015.
This first record of common lionfish Pterois miles in the Syrian coast could confirm the occurrence of this species in the Levant Basin (eastern Mediterranean).
This is the fifth record of the species reported to date in the region.
These records are not sufficient to state that the species is substantially established in the area, but investigations are rapidly needed to avoid unfavorable consequences on local environment and economy
