Notes published here can be divided into three different categories: occupancy estimation for wide areas, new records for the Mediterranean Sea, and new records of species expanding within the Mediterranean Sea. The first category includes a visual survey held along the coastline of Peloponnese (Greece), which yielded records of 15 species. The second category includes the first Mediterranean records of the Coho salmon <em>Oncorhynchus kisutch</em> (Greece) and of the Arabian monocle bream <em>Scolopsis</em> <em>ghanam</em> (Tunisia). The third category includes new records for countries (<em>Ganonema</em> <em>farinosum</em> in Malta, <em>Cassiopea andromeda</em> in Libya, <em>Cingulina isseli</em> in Greece, <em>Okenia picoensis</em> in Italy, <em>Callinectes sapidus</em> in Slovenia, <em>Charybdis</em> cf. <em>hellerii</em> in Malta, <em>Urocaridella pulchella</em> in Cyprus, <em>Ablennes hians</em> and <em>Aluterus monoceros</em> in Lebanon, and <em>Fistularia petimba</em> in Greece and Lebanon), new records for MSFD areas or regional seas (<em>Septifer cumingii</em> in the Greek Ionian Sea and <em>F. petimba</em> in the Marmara Sea), and confirmation of old, doubtful, or spurious records/statements (<em>Branchiomma luctuosum</em> in Tunisia, <em>Thalamita poissonii</em> in the Saronikos Gulf, and <em>Pterois miles</em> in Albania). Noteworthy, the three new records of <em>F. petimba</em> suggest that it may soon spread further in the Mediterranean Sea, as already happened for its congeneric <em>Fistularia commersonii</em>. Distributional data reported here will help tracing colonization routes of alien species in the basin and may facilitate the development of mitigation measures.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Mediterranean Marine Science}, author={CROCETTA, FABIO and AL MABRUK, SARA A.A. and AZZURRO, ERNESTO and BAKIU, RIGERS and BARICHE, MICHEL and BATJAKAS, IOANNIS E. and BEJAOUI, TAREK and BEN SOUISSI, JAMILA and CAUCHI, JUSTIN and CORSINI-FOKA, MARIA and DEIDUN, ALAN and EVANS, JULIAN and GALDIES, JOHANN and GHANEM, RAOUIA and KAMPOURIS, THODOROS E. and KATSANEVAKIS, STELIOS and KONDYLATOS, GERASIMOS and LIPEJ, LOVRENC and LOMBARDO, ANDREA and MARLETTA, GIULIANA and MEJDANI, ENEID and NIKOLIDAKIS, SAVVAS and OVALIS, PANAYOTIS and RABAOUI, LOTFI and RAGKOUSIS, MICHAIL and ROGELJA, MANJA and SAKR, JOELLE and SAVVA, IOANNIS and TANDUO, VALENTINA and TURAN, CEMAL and UYAN, ALI and ZENETOS, ARGYRO}, year={2021}, month={Nov.}, pages={724–746} }
