فِي خَلِيجِ الْعَقَبَةِ، صَادَ الصَّيَّادُ الْأُرْدُنِيُّ مَرْوَانُ شُرَيْمٌ سَمَكَةً غَرِيبَةً. وَحَدَثَ ذٰلِكَ يَوْمَ 30 مَايُو 2025، أَثْنَاءَ رِحْلَةِ صَيْدٍ كَانَ يَبْحَثُ فِيهَا عَنْ سَمَكِ أَبُو سَيْفٍ.
دَرَسَ الْبَاحِثُونَ صُوَرَ السَّمَكَةِ وَفِيدْيُوهَاتِهَا. وَقَالُوا إِنَّهَا سَمَكَةُ الرَّايِ اللَّاسِعَةُ الْمُحِيطِيَّةُ. وَتُعْرَفُ عِنْدَ بَعْضِ الصَّيَّادِينَ بِاسْمِ «سَمَكَةِ الشَّيْطَانِ». وَهٰذَا أَوَّلُ تَسْجِيلٍ مُؤَكَّدٍ لَهَا فِي الْبَحْرِ الْأَحْمَرِ.
كَانَ مَرْوَانُ طَبِيبَ أَسْنَانٍ فِي السَّابِقِ، ثُمَّ تَرَكَ عَمَلَهُ لِيَصِيرَ صَيَّادًا. وَسَاعَدَتْ مَوَادُّهُ الْبَاحِثِينَ عَلَى التَّعَرُّفِ عَلَى السَّمَكَةِ. وَيَقُولُ الْعُلَمَاءُ إِنَّهُمْ يَحْتَاجُونَ إِلَى دِرَاسَاتٍ أُخْرَى. وَيُرِيدُونَ مَعْرِفَةَ طَرِيقِ وُصُولِهَا إِلَى الْخَلِيجِ، وَهَلْ تَعِيشُ هُنَاكَ أَسْمَاكٌ أُخْرَى مِنْهَا.

Jordanian Fisher Helps Record a Stingray in the Red Sea
In the Gulf of Aqaba, Jordanian fisherman Marwan Shriem caught an unusual fish. This happened on May 30, 2025, during a fishing trip when he was looking for swordfish.
Researchers studied photographs and videos of the fish. They said that it was a pelagic stingray. Some fishermen call it the “devil fish.” This is the first confirmed record of it in the Red Sea.
Marwan was formerly a dentist, then left his work to become a fisherman. His material helped researchers identify the fish. Scientists say they need more studies. They want to learn how it reached the gulf and whether other fish of this species live there.
