- Abstract
A new record of a Lessepsian migrant, the striped piggy, Pomadasys stridens (Forsskål, 1775), in Turkish waters is reported herewith. The specimen was captured off the Akyaka coast in Gökova Bay, SE Aegean Sea and measured 130 mm in total length. Other measurements and counts are also provided, as well as the list of other Mediterranean records. This finding constitutes the fist record of this fish from the Aegean Sea and the third record from Turkish marine waters. It is also the northernmost report of this species in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea.
