New Record of Carcharhinus brevipinna (Müller & Henle, 1839) from Mersin Bay, the Northeastern Mediterranean

In this study, it was aimed to present the morphometric and meristic data of Carcharhinus brevipinna (Müller & Henle, 1839) which caught from Mersin Bay (coordinate: 36°13'44.8"N34° 01'42.1"E, 36°14'28.2"N 34°02'19.6"E) in February 2019. The total length of this shark specimen, which caught from a depth of 20 m, is 115 cm, and its weight is 11.5 kg. Morphometric measurements of the individual made, its photographs were taken and given the catalog number (MEUFC-19-11-104) and recorded in the Museum of the Systematic, Faculty of Fisheries, Mersin University.
