Distribution and occurence of Red Sea fish at the Turkish Mediterranean coast-northern Cilician basin

Abstract

        Six new species of Red Sea fish were identified and added to the already known 20 Red Sea species recorded along the Anatolian coast. The occurrence, distribution and con­tribution of fourteen Red Sea species to the trawl fishery were studied. The meristic and mor­phometric characteristics of these species (including 95% confidence limits) were deter­mined.
