Exploring the Structure of Static Net Fisheries in a Highly Invaded Region: The Case of Rhodes Island (Eastern Mediterranean)

Experimental fishing was conducted in three different locations along the coastal marine waters of eastern Rhodes Island, Levantine Sea, Hellas, from April 2021 to March 2022 on a monthly basis. Twelve samplings with gill nets and 12 with trammel nets at each of three selected locations resulted in a total of 72 samplings.
First record of Arcania brevifrons Chen, 1989 (Decapoda; Leucosiidae) and further record of Macrophthalmus (Macrophthalmus) indicus Davie, 2012 (Decapoda; Macrophthalmidae) in Hellenic waters

Two individuals of the introduced macrophthalmid M. (M.) indicus were found in the stomachs of silver-cheeked toadfish (Lagocephalus sceleratus), a fish species that itself is invasive. For both species, DNA barcoding was performed using the standard mitochondrial marker cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI).
