Holacanthus ciliaris (Linnaeus, 1758) (Teleostei: Pomacanthidae), first record from the Mediterranean Sea

A specimen of H. ciliaris was captured (♀, total length TL=18.3 cm ; weight W =141.8 g) in Trogir Bay near the town of Trogir (43°30'37, 89''N ; 16°14'34, 97''E.) situated in the central part of the Eastern Adriatic Sea coast (Figure 1). The specimen (Figure 2) was captured with a spear gun on 8 October 2011 at a depth of around 4 meters on a mostly rocky sea bottom. This species has not been recorded in the Mediterranean Sea before this finding and the present report constitutes the first record of a species of the family Pomacanthidae in the Mediterranean Sea.
