Abstract
The first record of imperial blackfish, Schedophilus ovalis (Cuvier, 1833), in the Greek waters of the Aegean Sea is herewith documented. This record increases the knowledge on the richness of the Hellenic marine ichthyofauna and may suggest an expansion of the geographical distribution of the species from the southern Levantine waters to northern areas.
