A specimen of Siganus luridus (Rüppell, 1829) was caught during a spear-fi shing on 18 October 2015 in Pace locality (Ionian Sicilian coast of Strait of Messina – Central Mediterranean Sea). This is the fi rst record of this species in the Strait of Messina. It is interesting to record the presence of S. luridus in this area, as its peculiar hydrodynamic characteristics does not allow an easy dispersal of organisms between the East and Western Mediterranean basins.
First record of a lessepsian migrant, the dusky spinefoot, Siganus Luridus (Rüppell, 1829) in the strait of Messina (central Mediterranean sea).
