Bellottia apoda Giglioli, 1883 et Symphurus ligulatus (Cocco, 1844) sont signalés pour la première fois au large de la côte turque méditerranéenne, par 500 à 600 m de profondeur environ. Certains caractères morphométriques et méristiques des deux poissons sont présentés. C'est le premier signalement de ces deux espèces dans la partie turque de la Méditerranée et aussi le plus oriental pour l'espèce B. apoda en mer Méditerranée.
(Levant Basin) is quite low, particularly considering the deep-water species (Coll et al., 2010). In this note we report the capture of two deep-sea species - Bellottia apoda Giglioli, 1883 and Symphurus ligulatus (Cocco, 1844) - which constitute new records in the Turkish Mediterranean Sea. One specimen of each species was collected during deep-water trawl surveys recently carried out in the Bay of Antalya (Turkey) (Fig. 1). Trawling was carried out by the R/V "Akdeniz Su". The specimens are deposited in the Akdeniz University Ichthyological Collection (AKU).

Abstract
(Levant Basin) is quite low, particularly considering the deep-water species (Coll et al., 2010). In this note we report the capture of two deep-sea species - Bellottia apoda Giglioli, 1883 and Symphurus ligulatus (Cocco, 1844) - which constitute new records in the Turkish Mediterranean Sea. One specimen of each species was collected during deep-water trawl surveys recently carried out in the Bay of Antalya (Turkey) (Fig. 1). Trawling was carried out by the R/V "Akdeniz Su". The specimens are deposited in the Akdeniz University Ichthyological Collection (AKU).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
