The Lessepsian migrant fish Lagocephalus sceleratus was recorded for the first time in July and in December 2005 from the Cretan Sea (Aegean, Greece). The species identity was confirmed by both morphometric and genetic analyses. These records indicate that the species has established populations around the continental shelf of Crete.
