Abstract

Thirty-six Syllid species were identified in the Petro Gulf  Misr Project (2017, 2018, 2019). 58 sediment samples were collected from the Suez Gulf (Gable El Zeit Area). The data revealed that 36 syllidae species were recorded; 19 of them are considered new recorded species  reported  for the first time during the present study (Species with*). Of these species,  13 of them were previously reported in the Suez Canal. This research is considered a new addition to the monitoring work of polychaetes in the Gulf of Suez, supplied by data and distribution of Syllidae species in the Suez Canal, Red Sea and Suez Gulf region. Adding notes of description for some.
