This report provides the first confirmed identifications of wahoo and striped marlin in the Red Sea, expanding their known ranges. The potential mechanisms for the lack of regional documentation of these species are discussed. These findings highlight the need for systematic biodiversity surveys of pelagic fish in the Red Sea.
This report provides the first confirmed identifications of wahoo (Acanthocybium solandri) and striped marlin (Kajikia audax) in the Red Sea, expanding the known ranges of these species into the basin. Potential mechanisms responsible for the lack of regional documentation of the two species are further discussed. These findings illustrate the need for systematic biodiversity surveys of pelagic fish assemblages in the Red Sea.
