Abstract

This
paper provides new contributions for known distribution areas of invasive Carassius
gibelio (Bloch, 1782), Gambusia holbrooki Girard, 1859 and Lepomis
gibbosus (Linnaeus, 1758) in
İstanbul. To determine the present expansion of these freshwater species, fish
surveys were conducted in 78 stations by using portable electroshocker and
gillnet between April and August, 2016. Carassius gibelio, G. holbrooki and L. gibbosus were captured from 14 stations included
and, as a result of comparison with current literature C. gibelio was new recorded for Kula Stream, Sinekli Pond,
Çakıl Pond, Çayırdere Pond, Büyükkokmuş Pond, Küçükkokmuş Pond and Sungurlu
Stream, G. holbrooki for Kurfallı
Stream, İzzettin Stream, Büyükkokmuş Pond, Küçükkokmuş Pond, Çilingoz Stream
and Sinekli Pond, and L. gibbosus for
Değirmenköy Pond. While
C. gibelio and G. holbrooki were previously recorded from İstanbul, this is the first report in a new locality of L. gibbosus in the city.
