Lepadogaster candolii Risso, 1810 View in CoL

Claimed to have been recorded sometimes between 1952-1998 in the 2 Mai-Vama Veche Marine Reserve area (or the southern Romanian Black Sea waters) but to have probably extirpated by 2001-2003 ( Nicolaev et al. 2004). Mentioned by Briggs, 1986, Oțel 2007, Yankova et al. 2014 and Cocan & MireȘan 2018 as present in Romanian waters. Bănărescu (1964) and Radu et al. (2008) expressly state that it was not found in Romanian waters ( Bănărescu 1964 considered that it may exist, though no specimens were found). Clear evidence of its presence only emerged from a recent observation from Constanța, 2017 (Marcoci, V., unpubl.; Iftime & Oțel id., Fig. 9 View FIGURE 9 ).
