A new large pelagic spuid record for the northern Aegean sea of Turkey; Neon flying squid, ommastrephes bartrami (Lesueur, 1821) (Cephalopoda: Ommastrephidae)

A female individual of Ommastrephes bartrami, which belongs to the Ommastrephidae family, was caught from the shallow waters of İzmir Bay (Aegean Sea). It set a new record for both İzmir Bay and northern Aegean Sea of Turkey. Its morphological features were re-examined and its photograph was taken.
