Species identification questionable, outside distributional range (Ref. 57869). The following repots may be referring to another species: a lessepsian migrant; first recorded from Haifa Bay in 1952 (Ref. 12815); displaced native species (Ref. 72453); speculated reason for success is its utilization of an unsaturated niche (Ref. 43448); average yearly catch from 1956-1962 was 262 tons (Ref. 6328). |
