- Abstract
Summary: The presence of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) in the Black Sea, albeit sparse, has been known for many years. In recent years, it has been encountered in fishing nets, most commonly as by‐catch. In this study conducted in the southern Black Sea (Ordu) region, three female individuals were caught in trammel nets on October 9, 2017, and the largest individual was found to have a total length of 61.4 cm, a weight of 3080.6 g, and a gonad weight of 115.59 g. The metric and meristic characteristics of the largest individual sampled were also determined.
