| Comments |
Four specimens captured by hook and line off the coasts of Al-Fao City Peninsula, southern Iraq. Arabian Gulf, confirm the presence of the species in Iraqi waters. Lack of previous records may be due to lack of sampling or its current presence may be due to ballast waters released by oil tankers and commercial vessels (Ref. 97265). |
