Abstract

A single specimen of Oblada melanura with 29.1 cm in total length and 390.00 g in total weight was obtained off Gökçeada Island (Northern Aegean Sea, Turkey) with gill nets by fisherman on February 2, 2020. Its length and weight were the maximum length record of saddled seabream for Northern Aegean coasts of Turkey.
