Abstract

A single specimen of striped eel fish Plotosus lineatus (Thunberg, 1787) has been captured in August 2022 from Mersin Bay, at 3 m depth. This study reveals the second record from Turkish waters and the first occurrence from northeastern Mediterranean coast of Turkey (Mersin Bay). This species has been formed in this region, indicating that its trend has the potential to spread westward along the northern side of coast of Turkey. Besides, this species also first successive alien plotosid recorded from Mediterranean marine waters of Turkey. All measurements and counts as well as color descriptions of P. lineatus agree with previous descriptions.
