Siganidae, Siganus, Basrah, Iraq, Range extension, Indian OceanAbstract
A new record of Siganus sutor from inland artificial marine extension Shatt al-Basrah canal, south of Iraq, is reported.Two specimens were collected during an ichthyologic survey on 2 November 2021. The specimens are 127 and 129 mm in total length. This record from Iraqi waters represents the species’ second and northernmost appearance in the northern Indian Ocean.
