Unusual Pompano-like Fish Caught Off Israel's Coast, Possibly New to Region

An unusual fish, possibly a pompano species new to Israel, was caught off the Mediterranean coast near Jisr az-Zarqa. Researchers from Tel Aviv University are conducting tests to identify the specimen, which was caught by fisherman Nimer Jamil al-Mukhtar. This follows a similar catch near Caesarea two weeks earlier, marking the first documented sightings of such fish in Israeli waters. The discovery is being studied in the context of increasing nonnative species in the Mediterranean.
