Occurrence and Biological Observations on Angel Shark Squatina squatina(Chondrichthyes: Squatinidae) from the Turkish Waters (Eastern Mediterranean)

Bu çalışmada, Türkiye sularında keler balığının, Squatina squatina (Linnaeus, 1758) yeni bir kaydı rapor edilmektedir. Türk sularından S. squatina'nın önceki av kayıtlarının derlenmesi bu türün göreceli nadirliğini göstermektedir. Aynı zamanda Gökova Körfezi, S. squatina'nın gebeliği nedeniyle Türkiye kıyıları boyunca bu balık için bir üreme alanı olabilir.

Türkiye Sularında (Doğu Akdeniz) Keler Balığının Squatina squatina(Chondrichthyes: Squatinidae) Bulunuşu ve Biyolojik Gözlemler

A new record of angel shark Squatina squatina (Linnaeus, 1758) in Turkish waters is reported in this note. A review of previous catch records of S. squatina from Turkish waters show that the species is relatively rare in the area. However, the observed specimen was a pregnant female suggesting that Gökova Bay could be a spawning area for S. squatina in the Turkish coast
