Description
Summary:This paper reports the first record of Klein’s sole Synapturichthys kleinii (Risso, 1827) from the Syrian coast. This record confirms the occurrence of the species in the Levant Basin and its eastern extension range in the Mediterranean Sea. However, this single capture of S. kleinii cannot support that a sustainable population is at present substantially established in the same area.
