An Additional Record of Lionfish Pterois miles (Bennett, 1828) in Edremit Bay

Öz

A single lionfish, Pterois miles (Bennett, 1828), was photographed and sampled with diving during a scientific survey at 12 meters depth in Edremit Bay (Güneş Island/ Ayvalık) in June 2023. The lionfish was first detected in Edremit Bay in 2022. This study supports the continued spread of the species in this area.

ASLAN BALIĞI Pterois miles (Bennett, 1828)’NIN, EDREMİT KÖRFEZİ’NDEN İLAVE KAYDI

Öz

Pterois miles (Bennett, 1828) olarak bilinen aslan balığı istilacı tür olup denizel alanlar için son derece tehlikeli bir türdür. 2023 yılının Haziran ayında, Ayvalık/Edremit Körfezi’nde gerçekleştirilen hayalet ağların denizden çıkarılmasına yönelik dalışlarda 12 metre derinlikte tek bir aslan balığı fotoğraflanmış ve dalış ile örneklenmiştir. Bu çalışma aslan balığının Ege Denizi’nden daha kuzeye ilerleyişini destekleyici niteliktedir.
