Introduction Eight species of the snake eel family (Ophichthidae) can be found in the Mediterranean Sea ( Bauchot, 1986 ). One of these species, Pisodonophis semicinctus (Richardson, 1848), is common in the eastern Atlantic Ocean, from Morocco to Angola ( Froese and Pauly, 2012 ). It usually burrows on sandy and muddy bottoms in coastal waters at depths from 10 to 30 m ( Bauchot, 1986 ) where it is often caught by beach fishing nets ( Séret and Opic, 1990 ). P. semicinctus can grow up to 800 mm in total length ( Séret and Opic, 1990 ). The species is rare outside the inter‐tropical zone ( Blache and Saldanha, 1972 ). Only two observations were recorded in the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean at the end of the 20th century: one individual was trawled in the Arcachon Basin ( Quéro, 1998 ), and another in 2001 along the south Galician coast near A Guarda harbour ( Banon et al., 2002 ). P. semicinctus remained unknown among the Mediterranean fauna until a 1957 discovery in Algeria ( Dieuziede and Roland, 1958 ). Since then, only nine other observations have been reported in the Mediterranean. The aim
