	abstract = {<p>The ornate wrasse Thalassoma pavo is a small protogynous fish of the  family Labridae living in shallow rocky habitats and Posidonia beds.  High temperatures in summer are crucial for the sexual maturation of  this subtropical species, which is by far more common in the Southern  parts of the Mediterranean Sea. In the Ligurian Sea T. pavo was nearly  unrecorded, notwithstanding the Ligurian fish fauna is quite well known  since the nineteenth century. This labrid has been recorded at Camogli  and Portofino in 1902 and 1911, respectively (Tortonese, 1965). No other  occurrence is known until 1985 (Relini et al., 1988). Since 1991,  adults and juveniles of T. pavo were frequently observed in several  localities along both the eastern and western Rivieras. The increased  occurrence of the ornate wrasse in the Ligurian Sea in recent years  seems to support the hypothesis of Astraldi et al. (1995) of the  establishment of true populations of warm-water species in the Ligurian  Sea. To verify such hypothesis, a systematic study of the Ligurian  populations of T. pavo started in 1996.</p>},
