Abstract

In this study, five tripletails, Lobotes surinamensis, were reported for the first time in Mersin Bay (North-eastern Mediterranean coast of Turkey). . Four juveniles were observed during diving expeditions in Yeşilovacık, Mersin Bay, on 04 November 2015 and 23 September 2016, while the fifth juvenile was recorded in Ayaş/Erdemli, Mersin Bay on 26 June 2018. This report is the first observation for this location and fills an essential gap in the species' range distribution. This study is also important as it is the first visual record of juveniles in this region. This finding will be helpful for both fisheries management and conservation efforts of this species.

Kuzeydoğu Akdeniz, Türkiye'de Lobotes surinamensis'in (Bloch, 1790) Görsel Kayıtları

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Mersin Körfezi'nde (Türkiye'nin Kuzeydoğu Akdeniz kıyısı) yüzeyde ve şamandıra çevresinde beş adet üç kuyruk, Lobotes surinamensis örneği rapor edilmiştir. 4 Kasım 2015 ve 23 Eylül 2016 tarihlerinde Mersin Körfezi Yeşilovacık'ta yapılan dalış sırasında L. surinamensis'in dört juvenil bireyi gözlendi ve L. surinamensis'in diğer yavru bireyi 26 Haziran 2018'de Mersin Körfezi Ayaş/Erdemli'de kaydedildi. Bu rapor, bu bölge için ilk gözlemdir ve türlerin yayılış alanı ve dağılımındaki önemli bir boşluğu doldurmaktadır. Bu çalışma, bu bölgedeki türlerin genç bireylerinin ilk görsel kayıtları nedeniyle de büyük önem taşımaktadır. Ayrıca, mevcut çalışma balıkçılık alanında faydalı olacak ve aynı zamanda bu türlerin hem balıkçılık yönetimine hem de korunmasına katkıda bulunacaktır.
