Mass mortality report of the critically endangered Pinna nobilis (Linnaeus, 1758) in Gökçeada (North Aegean Sea, Turkey)

Abstract

In August 2020, a total area of 38000 m2 around Gökçeada has been scanned to determine the current population status of Pinna nobilis. 9 stations (Yıldızkoy, Manastır, Marmaros, Gizli Liman, Laz Koyu, Kapıkaya, Karaçavuş, Karaçavuş shore and Kefalos) have been detected by means of SCUBA and ABC diving techniques. All specimens were found dead (total mass mortality of 100%). The total length range of P. nobilis was between 30.8 – 38.3 cm.
