Abstract
The term “Lessepsian” was first used by Por (1964) to characterize the new phase into which the Eastern Mediterranean had entered with the opening of the Suez Canal. Por (1969a, 1971b) coined the term “Lessepsian migrant” for Red Sea species which have passed through the Suez Canal and settled in the Eastern Mediterranean.
