Abstract

In the present study, native and alien opisthobranch species observed via SCUBA diving along Turkish Aegean coasts have been represented: In the Turkish Aegean coasts, Goniobranchus annulatus was first observed while Luisella babai, Coryphellina rubrolineata, Felimare picta, and Felimida luteorosea were northwardly expanded their distribution.

Keywords
