Abstract:

Currently, marine species in the Mediterranean Sea is on increase; as a consequence, the Mediterranean Sea becomes a biodiversity hotspot. Apogonidae family contains 353small colourful species, which exist in the tropical and subtropical waters. On 21/3/2019,a field trip was performed in the marine waters facing Banyas city, Syria. Two specimens of the Broadbanded cardinalfish Ostorhinchus fasciatus (White, 1790) were caught, and this species has been recorded for the first time in the Syrian marine water.

Keywords:

Ostorhinchus fasciatus ,Broadbanded cardinalfish, Syrian marine waters, Eastern Mediterranean.
