| Summary: | The Sicilian south-eastern swamp lakes complex represents an important coastal wetland for the conservation of Mediterranean biodiversity and a breeding area for different species of fish and crustaceans. A first fish fauna checklist of the swamp lake named “Pantano Bruno” (Ispica, Ragusa) and an updated fish fauna checklist of “Pantano Longarini” and “Pantano Cuba” (Pachino, Syracuse) are here reported, as well as the first checklist of the Crustacea Decapoda recorded in all of the three swamp lakes. Four species of teleost fish were found in Pantano Bruno: Anguilla anguilla (Anguillidae), Chelon ramada (Mugilidae), Gambusia holbrooki (Poeciliidae) and Aphanius fasciatus (Cyprinodontidae); two new teleost fish species, in addition to the last published checklist, were found instead in Pantano Longarini and Pantano Cuba: Sardinella aurita (Dorosomatidae) and Solea solea (Soleidae).
