Journal Title: Natural and Engineering Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 2

Abstract

Three specimens of striped eel catfish, Plotosus lineatus (Thunberg, 1787) were caught by a spear gun at depths of 20 m on 4 April 2016 from Iskenderun Bay (Çevlik harbour), North-eastern Mediterranean coast of Turkey.
