Abstract

This study presents a new locality record of poisonous pufferfish, Lagocephalus sceleratus (Gmelin, 1789), one of the 18 worst invader fish species identified globally by IUCN, from the Sea of Marmara caught by a commercial purse seine fishing vessel while fishing anchovy on 22 February 2021. Previously, this invasive species was first recorded at the Gelibolu peninsula in the Sea of Marmara between September 2007 and October 2008. Lagocephalus sceleratus recorded in this study is larger in size with 142 mm total length than previous records (126 mm in 2007; 95 mm in 2008) for the Sea of Marmara. The presently reported record represents the first documented occurrence of this species in the Erdek Bay of the Sea of Marmara and the third documented record for the entire Sea of Marmara.

Özet

Bu çalışma, Marmara Denizi’nde 22 Şubat 2021'de ticari gırgır balıkçı teknesi tarafından hamsi avı sırasında avlanan ve IUCN tarafından küresel olarak en tehlikeli 18 istilacı balık türünden biri olarak tanımlanan balon balığının Lagocephalus sceleratus (Gmelin, 1789)’un yeni bir lokalite kaydını sunmaktadır. Bu istilacı tür Marmara Denizi’nde ilk olarak Eylül 2007 ile Ekim 2008 arasında Gelibolu yarımadasında kaydedilmiştir. Bu çalışmada kaydedilen birey, 142 mm toplam boya sahip olup, Marmara Denizi için verilen önceki kayıtlardan (2007'de 126 mm; 2008'de 95 mm) daha büyüktür. Halihazırda rapor edilen kayıt, bu türün Marmara Denizi'nin Erdek Körfezi'ndeki varlığını ilk kez ortaya koymakta olup, tüm Marmara Denizi için belgelenmiş üçüncü kaydını temsil etmektedir.
