The brassy chub, Kyphosus vaigiensis, was caught off the eastern coasts of Algeria in December 2013, marking the first time this circumtropical fish has been found on the south-western Mediterranean coasts. The chronology of its records in the Mediterranean supports the hypothesis of its Atlantic origin.
One individual of the brassy chub, Kyphosus vaigiensis (Quoy et Gaimard, 1825) (41.5 cm TL, 1.27 kg TW), was caught off Annaba, on the eastern coasts of Algeria in December 2013.
