| Comments: | A lessepsian migrant, first recorded from Haifa Bay in 1947 (Ref. 72453). It was still considered rare in 1966 but by the 1980s have become common and ten years later has been reported as the most abundant species in the artificial reef and in experimental trammel net catch near Haifa, Israel (Ref. 92776). The lack of nocturnal competitors might facilitate population growth (Ref. 43448). Also Ref. 12810, 72453. Ref: Haas, G. and H. Steinitz, 1947 | ||||
