| Abstract |
Scientific work was done including some gastropods and echinoderms in the intertidal zone between Ras Mohamed and Dahab in the North Red Sea (Gulf of Aqaba). Investigations lead to the recognitions of the 1 st record of two echinodermis; Ophiocomina nigra and gastropod Clypeomorus bifasciata which are inhabiting the eastern shallow waters of the Mediterranean sea. Thus threw light to the lessepsian migration of the fauna via the Suez Canal. |
