Among the latter, the African sailfin flyingfish Parexocoetus mento was recently collected from Lampedusa Island in November 2017, and represents the first documented record in Italian waters. In this paper, the morphological and meristic characteristics of this specimen are reported and discussed, compared with the other species of the genus Parexocoetus. Furthermore, as mapping and monitoring the distribution of invasive species is crucial to understanding their establishment and spread and then to manage the invasion process, the occurrences distribution of P. mento in the Mediterranean Sea was studied. The application of GIS-based spatial statistics allowed to identify significant clustering areas and dispersion areas of the species, summarizing the key characteristics, and underlining directional trends of distribution. GIS analysis identified two similar groups of records (1935/1966 and 1986/2017 time period), showing a change of distribution spatial pattern over time. An earlier spread direction in the Mediterranean east coast and a settled area of P. mento were found. The analysis also includes the specimen caught in Italian waters.","AbstractOtherLang":"GIS; Lessepsian species; Mediterranean Sea;Parexocoetus mento; spatial statistics; Strait ofSicily","BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"First record of the Lessepsian fish <i>Parexocoetus mento</i> in Italian waters and GIS-based spatial and temporal distribution in Mediterranean Sea","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-13 01:31:45.543248","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"GIS, Lessepsian species, spatial statistics, Strait of Sicily","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2020,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2020-12-15","DateCreate":"2020-11-06","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000598020000015","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1017/s002531542000096x"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":330728,"PubliDate":2020,"Pagination":"1163-1169","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"100","Issue":"7","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":43277,"SerRR":"Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom.
