Occurence of an abnormal one-eyed black anglerfish Lophius budegassa (Spinola, 1807) from Central Aegean Sea, Turkey
Abstract
During the seasonal trawling studies between September 2017 and August 2018, one specimen of the Lophius budegassa (Spinola, 1807) were found as one-eyed. This is the first record of this type, morphological abnormality of this fish species from Aegean Sea. Abnormality factors could be environmental or genetic resources. Might be other reason is one-eyed specimen could be attacked by other carnivores when specimens at early stages. However, based on morphological investigations there were no visible assault scar or wound lesion were found on orbital skin tissue.
