Northernmost Record of Upeneus moluccensis (Bleeker, 1855) (Osteichthyes: Mullidae) in the Turkish Coasts of the Aegean Sea

Upeneus moluccensis (Bleeker, 1855)'in iki bireyi Türkiye'nin Ege Denizi'nde sırasıyla İzmir ve Çandarlı Körfezleri'nde 80-85 m derinliklerde dip trolüyle yakalanmıştır. Bu balıklar her iki alandan ilk kayıtlardır ve bu ihtiyolojik not Ege Denizi'nde türün en kuzey dağılım alanlarını da oluşturmaktadır.

Upeneus moluccensis (Bleeker, 1855) (Osteichthyes: Mullidae)'in Türk Ege Denizi Kıyılarının En Kuzeyinden Kaydı

Two specimens of Upeneus moluccensis (Bleeker, 1855) were caught in İzmir and Çandarlı Bays, Aegean Sea of Turkey by bottom trawlers at depths of about 80-85 m, respectively. These fish are the first records from both areas, and this ichthyologic note constitutes also the northernmost extension range of the species in the Aegean Sea.
