Abstract:

 

A single specimen of Priacanthus sagittarius Starnes, 1988 has been captured in the Iskenderun Bay (Konacık, Turkey), at a depth of 80 m in February 2021. This species represents the second record from Turkish waters and the first record from southeastern Mediterranean coast of Turkey. Besides, this species is the fifth successive record from the. The presence of P. sagittarius in the Mediterranean coast of Turkey is evidently due to migration from the Red Sea through the Suez Canal. On the other hand, available records show that this species is gradually expanding its distribution in the Mediterranean.

 

Priacanthus sagittarius Starnes, 1988'in bir örneği Şubat 2021'de İskenderun Körfezi'nde (Konacık, Türkiye), 80 m derinlikten yakalanmıştır. Araştırmamız, Türkiye sularından balığın ikinci ve Türkiye'nin Güneydoğu Akdeniz kıyılarından da ilk kaydını ortaya koymaktadır. Aynı zamanda yaptığımız kayıt türün Akdeniz deniz sularından beşinci kaydını oluşturmaktadır. P. sagittarus Türkiye'nin Akdeniz kıyısındaki varlığı, bu balığın da Süveyş Kanalı yoluyla Kızıldeniz'den Akdeniz'e geçtiğinin işaretleridir. Diğer yandan mevcut kayıtlar, bu türün Akdeniz’de dağılımını giderek genişlettiğini göstermektedir.
