Abstract

The number of alien fish species reported from the Turkish coasts has reached 80, while those reported from the Aegean Sea coast is 44. On the other hand, the number of Lessepsian species reported from the Izmir Bay is 15. The Lessepsian fish species reported from the Izmir Bay are Saurida lessepsianus, Lagocephalus sceleratus, Siganus rivulatus, S. luridus, Scomberomorus commerson, Bregmaceros nectabanus, Champsodon vorax, Etrumeus golanii, Stephanolepis diaspros, Nemipterus randalli, Upeneus moluccensis, Hemiramphus far, Lutjanus argentimaculatus, Acanthopagrus bifasciatus, Pterois miles, respectively. This review discusses the interaction of the Lessepsian species with commercial fishing activities in Izmir Bay.
