Abstract

A single specimen of Diplodus puntazzo
with 34.6 cm in total length and 550.00 g in total weight was caught off İbrice
Bight (Saros Bay) with handline (hook (Mustad 496) size 1 and 0.40 mm
monofilament line-diameter) by fisherman on May 25, 2016. Its total length and
weight were the maximum observed values for the species in the Saros Bay, Northern
Aegean Sea.

Keywords
