Previously, this invasive species was first recorded at the Gelibolu peninsula in the Sea of Marmara between September 2007 and October 2008. Lagocephalus sceleratus recorded in this study is larger in size with 142 mm total length than previous records (126 mm in 2007; 95 mm in 2008) for the Sea of Marmara. The presently reported record represents the first documented occurrence of this species in the Erdek Bay of the Sea of Marmara and the third documented record for the entire Sea of Marmara.  AU - Dürrani, Ömerhan AU - BAL, Habib DO - 10.12714/egejfas.39.3.12 PY - 2022 JO - Su Ürünleri Dergisi VL - 39 IS - 3 SN - 1300-1590 SP - 261 EP - 266 DB - TRDizin UR - http://search/yayin/detay/1123148 ER -
