First occurrence of Zu cristatus (Trachipteridae) in the Turkish Aegean Sea (Eastern Mediterranean Sea)
Abstract
This ichthyologic note presents the incidental catch of Zu cristatus from a commercial long-liner from the northeastern Aegean Sea. On 14 March 2023, a specimen of Zu cristatus was collected by a commercial deep-sea long-liner, targeting European hake at a depth of 600 m in Saros Bay on the northern Aegean coast of Türkiye. In this short report, we confirmed its occurrence in the Turkish Aegean waters of the eastern Mediterranean.
Thanks
The authors thank both Mr Hayri Şahin, who caught the fish, for his cooperation and Mr Akın Aşık from the Tekirdağ regional association of fisheries cooperatives for bringing the fish to our attention.
