Abstract

The specimens of Melibe fimbriata were found during October 2001 in Stari Grad Bay (Island of Hvar, Croatia) in Cymodocea nodosa and Posidonia oceanica beds on sandy and sandy–muddy bottoms at depths of 2 to 15 m. Presently, this is the northernmost record of this lessepsian immigrant in the Mediterranean basin.
