Özet
In this study, one specimen of Lagocephalus guentheri, the largest individual (536 mm)
ever recorded, was obtained from the Iskenderun Bay, Levantine Sea. The specimen
was caught from two nautical miles off the Samandağ coast at a depth of 128 m with
a commercial trawler. The present finding reports the maximum length and the deepest
record of the species for the Mediterranean Sea. Apparently, the distribution of the species
in the Mediterranean Sea will expand in the following years.
