Seeing Red: Alien species along the Mediterranean coast of Israel
Aquatic Invasions
2(4): 281-312
Publication
An overview is presented of the metazoan alien biota recorded from the Mediterranean coast of Israel. Of the 296 alien species,
284 have been introduced from the Red Sea/Indo West-Pacific through the Suez Canal. A brief history of the research on
introduced species along the Israeli coast is presented along with the list of species, and their ecological and economic impacts
are discussed.
