| Abstract |
The muzzled blenny Omobanchus punctatus is recorded for the first time in the Mediterranean Sea, collected among fouling organisms covering the frame of aquaculture cages at the entrance to the port of Ashdod, Israel. Its presence there is most likely due to accidental introduction attributed to ship-mediated transfer. |
