Abstract
Climate change is one of the crucial factors affecting the geographical distribution of fish species. However, the maximum size is an indication of whether there is overfishing pressure on a fish species or the current ecological conditions in which it is located. A single specimen of recently died (rigor mortis has not yet formed) Centrolophus niger was incidentally found inshore on January 27, 2023, off the Burhaniye coast (Edremit Bay, Northern Aegean Sea, Türkiye). The present study indicates both the first observation of C. niger for Edremit Bay and its maximum length for Turkish seas.
气候变化是影响鱼类地理分布的重要因素之一。然而,鱼类的最大尺寸是一种鱼类是否受到过度捕捞压力或其所处的当前生态条件的指标。2023年1月27日,在Burhaniye海岸(北爱琴海Edremit Bay, trkiye)附近偶然发现了一个最近死亡(尸体僵硬尚未形成)的尼日尔中lophus标本。本研究表明尼日尔弧菌在Edremit湾首次出现,在土耳其海出现最长。
