the first time caught in the Mersin Bay, Northeastern Mediterranean Sea. Some morphometric and
meristic characters of these individuals were measured. The average standard length (SL): 90.13
mm, total length (TL): 112.62 mm, the length of longest pectoral fin (LPF): 25.88 mm, the length
of longest dorsal fin ray (LDF): 21.25 mm, SL/LPF: 3.88, SL/LDF: 4.24, A: III, 39-42; D: VI, 9;
LL pore scales: 55-58. The ratio of eye diameter (ED) to standard length (SL) is 7.95. The presence
of the non-indigenous Pempheris rhomboidea was reported for the first time from Northeastern
Mediterranean Sea and second time fromTurkish marine waters.}, number={1}, publisher={Cemal TURAN}
