Résumé
Seven first records of species of various origins are reported from the Libyan marine environment. These are the Longfin yellowtail Seriola rivoliana, Lesser amberjack Seriola fasciata, Blunthead puffer Sphoeroides pachygaster, Golani round herring Etrumeus golanii, Blue swimmer crab Portunus segnis, Bigfin reef squid Sepioteuthis lessoniana, and the green alga Caulerpa taxifolia. The first three species are widely distributed fish seemingly expanding their range in the Mediterranean Sea, while the others are alien species, introduced in the Mediterranean through various pathways. While some were recently captured, others were identified from old collections, with dates of capture ranging between 1993 and 2017. In addition to updating the list of marine fauna and flora from Libya, the respective dates of these records represent vital information for future studies aiming at reconstructing range expansion histories and assessing spread rates in the Mediterranean Sea. © 2017 The Author(s) and 2017 REABIC.
