In this study the striped seabream Lithognathus mormyrus (Linnaeus, 1758) has been reported for the first time and
considered as new geographic record from the northern part of Turkish coasts. The observation points and sampling localities
were given with some ecological remarks. The morphological features of this species were examined. The relationship
between variations in habitat structure along the Turkish coasts of Black Sea and the observation frequencies of the new
geographical record of striped seabream L. mormyrus was discussed.
