This book is an attempt to present a comprehensive view on the
aquatic biogeog raphy of a small but very dynamic and complex area
of the globe. Luckily, this area, called here the Levant, has
attracted much interest in the past and is being increasingly
studied in the present. The interphasing between the knowledge of
the historical and formative processes and that of the recent
distributional aspects is fairly good. The recent years saw also a
widening effort which expressed itself in several symposia and
monographic books. Therefore I considered it possible to treat the
whole subject of the aquatic biogeography of the Levant
singlehandedly rather than in the presently widespread manner of an
edited book. I am keenly conscious of the shortcommings of my
approach of presenting much second-hand information. Possibly this
is being compensated by the fact that this book has a more coherent
structure and eventually a clearer scientific message. The effort
spent in synthesizing the data from the widely different sources
hopefully pays off in a presentation which is more easily
comprehended by the average reader. For the suspicious reader, I
would recommend to read first the closing chapter of this book in
which the quintescence of this book and its message is presented in
a summariz ing manner."
