| Abstract: | This paper presents the morphometric, meristic and genetic analyses of the first specimen of the lowfin chub, Kyphosus vaigiensis, from the coastal Maltese waters. A single specimen was caught in January, 2015 from Malta, but since then a number of other occasional visual records of this species have been noted in close-by areas, indicating an established population in these waters. |
