Abstract

In the present paper we report the first record of the Brassy Chub Kyphosus vaigiensis (Quoy
and Giamard, 1825) from the Mediterranean coast of Libya. It is assumed that this species arrived
into the Mediterranean from the Red Sea via the Suez Canal. We stress the need of taxonomic study
on the genus Kyphosus in the Mediterranean.
