    On the increasing occurrence of the Bluespotted Cornetfish Fistularia commersonii (Rüppel, 1838) in the Central Mediterranean (Osteichthyes, Fistulariidae)

    ABSTRACT
    The increasing occurrence of the blue-spotted cornet fish Fistularia commersonii, a highly successful Lessepsian migrant, within coastal waters of Sicily and of the Maltese Islands is hereby recorded. Reports of recent sightings of the species within such a marine area are documented and these suggest the establishment of viable populations for the species within the same marine area.
