Abstract

One specimen of Gonostoma denudatum was caugh tby a commercial trawler (Boat length: 26.15 m and Engine Power: 400 Hp) at a depth of about 595m on 08 July 2019 from the Erdemli coast (Mersin Bay, Turkey). After the capture, the fresh specimen was identified, photographed, measured to the nearest millimetre, and weighed to the nearest gram. The present paper reports the first record of G. denudatum in the northeastern Mediterranean, Turkey. Although G. denudatum has been previously reported from the Mediterranean Sea, this species is extremely rare in the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea. Thus, the present study is an indication of the occurrence of G. denudatum in the eastern Mediterranean Sea coast of Turkey. Morphometric and meristic characters of the specimen are given in the text.

Özet

Erdemli açıklarından (Mersin Körfezi, Türkiye) ışıldak balığı, Gonostoma denudatum ’un bir bireyi 08 Temmuz 2019 tarihinde yaklaşık 595 m derinlikten ticari dip trolü (Tekne Uzunluğu: 26,15 m ve Motor Gücü: 400 Hp) ile avlanmıştır. Yakalanan birey daha sonra tanımlanarak, fotoğraflanmış, ölçümleri ve ağırlığı alınmıştır. Sunulan bu çalışmada, G. denudatum Türkiye’nin kuzeydoğu Akdeniz kıyılarından ilk kez rapor edilmiştir. G. denudatum daha önce Akdeniz'den bildirilmiş olmasına rağmen, bu tür Akdeniz'in doğu kısmında oldukça nadir görülmektedir. Bu nedenle sunulan bu çalışma Türkiye’nin doğu Akdeniz sahillerinden G. denudatum ’un varlığını işaret etmektedir. Türün morfolojik ve meristik ölçümleri metin içerisinde verilmiştir.
