Title

A case study of the spread of the invasive urchin Diadema setosum (Leske, 1778) in the eastern Mediterranean (Syria)

Abstract

During the past three years: 2019, 2020 and 2021, the presence of more invasive alien species has been detected in the Syrian coast, the needle-spined urchin (Diadema setosum) (long-spined sea urchin, black long-spine sea urchin) may be among the worst. It appears in high densities and large sizes at depths of 8-10 m in the northern sector of the Syrian coast since 2016. This is the first record of this species in Syria, thus, the map of documenting his presence in the eastern Mediterranean is completed.
