هدف هذا المقال لعرض تسجيل سمك الأسد الشائع (Pterois miles (Bennet, 1828 للمرة الأولى في الساحل السوري (شرق البحر المتوسط). إذ تم في يومي 28 أيلول 2015 و 10 و كانون الأول 2015 اصطياد عينتين (159، 206 ملم طول قياسي) من النوع المذكور في المياه البحرية السورية بين مدينتي اللاذقية و جبلة. إن تسجيل هذا النوع للمرة الأولى في المياه السورية يؤكد استمرار ظهوره في الحوض الشرقي للمتوسط. و يعد هذا التسجيل، التسجيل الخامس في المنطقة حتى تاريخه، غير أنه لا يمكن اعتبار هذه التسجيلات كافية لإثبات انتشار هذا النوع السمكي بشكل فعلي في المنطقة، و بالتالي لابد من إجراء تحقيقات سريعة احترازية لتجنب النتائج السلبية البيئية و الاقتصادية المحتملة من انتشاره في المنطقة.
This paper aimed to present the first record of Pterois miles (Bennet, 1828) off the
Syrian coast (Eastern Mediterranean). Two specimens (159; 206 mm SL) were captured in
Syrian waters between Lattakia and Jableh in 28th September 2015 and 10th December
2015. This first record of common lionfish Pterois miles in the Syrian coast could confirm
the occurrence of this species in the Levant Basin (eastern Mediterranean). This is the fifth
record of the species reported to date in the region. These records are not sufficient to state
that the species is substantially established in the area, but investigations are rapidly
needed to avoid unfavorable consequences on local environment and economy.
