These records refer to eight different countries throughout the northern part of the basin, and include 28 species, belonging to five phyla. The findings per country include the following species: <strong>Spain</strong>: <em>Callinectes sapidus</em> and <em>Chelidonura fulvipunctata</em>; <strong>Monaco</strong>: <em>Aplysia dactylomela</em>; <strong>Italy</strong>: <em>Charybdis (Charybdis) feriata</em>, <em>Carcharodon carcharias, Seriola fasciata, </em>and <em>Siganus rivulatus</em>; <strong>Malta</strong>: <em>Pomacanthus asfur</em>; <strong>Croatia</strong>: <em>Lagocephalus sceleratus </em>and <em>Pomadasys incisus</em>; <strong>Montenegro</strong>: <em>Lagocephalus sceleratus</em>; <strong>Greece</strong>: <em>Amathia (Zoobotryon) verticillata, Atys cf. macandrewii, Cerithium scabridum, Chama pacifica, Dendostrea cf. folium, Ergalatax junionae, Septifer cumingii, Syphonota geographica, Syrnola fasciata, Oxyurichthys petersi, Scarus ghobban, Scorpaena maderensis, Solea aegyptiaca</em> and <em>Upeneus pori</em>; <strong>Turkey</strong>: <em>Lobotes surinamensis, Ruvettus pretiosus </em>and <em>Ophiocten abyssicolum</em>. In the current article, the presence of <em>Taractes rubescens</em> (Jordan &amp; Evermann, 1887) is recorded for the first time in the Mediterranean from Italy. The great contribution of citizen scientists in monitoring biodiversity records is reflected herein, as 10% of the authors are citizen scientists, and contributed 37.5% of the new findings.</p> ER -
