Abstract
Two individuals of blue crab Callinectes sapidus (one male and one female) were captured by trammel nets on 27 November 2017 and 1 December 2017 between 2 m to 10 m depths from the middle Black Sea coast. The carapace width and weight were measured as 19.4 cm and 449.19 g for the male, and 19.6 cm and 269.39 g for the female specimens. This is the first record for the C. sapidus from the middle Black Sea region.
