Abstract

This investigate was carried out in the Aegean Sea at 2012. Three hundred forty specimens were collected by SCUBA diving. Identification characteristics, habitats, reproduction and growth parameters were investigated for this species. In this study, minimum, maximum, mean eviscerated length and eviscerated weight were determined 11 cm, 25 cm, 18.1 cm and 51 g, 175.7 g, 100.5 g, respectively
