Recent Occurrence of Shortfin Mako Shark, Isurus oxyrinchus Rafinesque, 1810 (Chondrichthyes: Lamnidae), from the North-Eastern Mediterranean Coast of Turkey

Abstract

A young individual of Isurus oxyrinchus was caught by a commercial longline off Dana Island (Mersin Bay, northeastern Mediterranean Sea) at a depth of 72 m on May 18th 2020. Morphometric measurements of the specimen were recorded and its photographs were taken. The examined specimen is now being preserved in the Museum of Systematics at Faculty of Fisheries of Mersin University, under the reference number MEUFC-20-11-132. This occurrence of a young female specimen reported in this study is adding a new location (Mersin Bay) from the Mediterranean's Turkish waters.
