ResumoSix juvenile Atlantic lizardfish, Synodus saurus (Linnaeus, 1758 ; Pisces ; Synodontidae), a rare species in the Adriatic sea, were caught in three shallow bays (Gornji Molunat Bay, Gornje Celo Bay and Lopud Bay) in the southeastern Croatian Adriatic. These specimens are the first record of juveniles of this species in the shallow waters of the southeastern Adriatic. This paper reports on their morphological and meristic features. This occurrence of juveniles is circumstantial evidence of the expansion of this species into this part of the Adriatic.
