A five years old male individual of Spicara flexuosa was captured by trammel nets on February 13, 2021, at 15 m depths from Black Sea region. The total length and weight were measured as 235 mm and 144.06 g. This specimen is the largest that has been reported in coastal waters of the Turkey. Some morphometric aspects of the sampled picarel were also measured. The otolith weight was determined as 0.0563 g. Otolith length and width were measured as 8044.31 µm and 4596.48 µm, respectively.
