“…Recently, we captured 27 Lessepsian fish species in Iskenderun Bay. Until now, over 50 Lessepsian fish species are known in Turkish Seas (Bilecenoglu et al, 2002;Erguden et al, 2012;Dalyan et al, 2012;Bodilis et al, 2014). In the 1980s, S. undosquamis and E. klunzingeri formed the highest biomass at the rate of 23 % and 14 % of total catch in the Levantine Sea (Gucu et al, 2010).…”

Fish species in catch and discard of trawl fisheries in and around Iskenderun Bay were examined within the fishing closure period and fishing period. The sampling was performed from May 2010 to January 2011 by a commercial trawl vessel. Chondricthyan species accounted for 51 % of discard catch biomass while Gymnura altavela and Dasyatis pastinaca were dominant in hauls. 27 lessepsian fish species were captured during the study, nine of them being target species for trawl fisheries. In total, 14 of the lessepsian fish species were determined as discard species. In both sampling periods, Equulites klunzingeri and Citharus linguatula contributed to discard fish catch dissimilarity among depth ranges (deeper and shallower than 60 m). E. klunzingeri showed high abundance in discard catch. There were no significant differences in the distribution of the discard fish biomass between the sampling periods (ANOVA test, p>0.05). However, depth range highlighted significant differences in discard fish catch composition (p<0.05). Among major commercial fish species of trawl fisheries, Mullus surmuletus and Sparus aurata were not separated as discard in any haul by fishermen. Any size of these two species was included in the commercial catch (Total length ranged from 61 to 721 mm).

“…To date, 63 alien fish species originally from the Red Sea and the Indo‐Pacific Ocean, have been reported in Turkish waters (Erguden et al., ; Erguden and Turan, ), including recent findings of the milkfish Chanos chanos (Özvarol and Gökoglu, ) and Champsodon vorax (Gökoğlu and Özvarol, ). Reported here is the occurrence of the blue‐barred parrotfish, Scarus ghobban Forsskål, 1775 (Scaridae) in the Turkish part of the Northeastern Mediterranean Sea.…”

A group of schools of striped eel catfish Plotosus lineatus (Thunberg, 1787) was photographed during scuba diving at depths of 10 m and 17 m on 11 July 2022 and on 24 September 2022 from Kızkalesi and Boğsak regions in the Mersin Bay of the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. With the present study, P. lineatus is extending its distribution to the western Mediterranean coastal waters after its first occurrence in 2016 in the İskenderun Bay of Turkish Marine waters.
