- Abstract
Pterois miles (Bennett, 1828), one of the most destructive marine invaders, was reported from the Mediterranean in 1991. It has invaded most parts of the Mediterranean from 2013, when it was reported for the second time, until today. On 7th October 2020, a single specimen of P. miles was collected by the bottom trawl from the Edremit Bay (Northern Aegean Sea). COI barcode region was used for the molecular identification of the specimen. DNA barcode data suggest that the specimen used in the present study is P. miles with a 99.69% probability. The current study is presented by providing the northernmost occurrence of the P. miles from the Aegean Sea with molecular confirmation.
