Abstract
The lessepsian migrant fish Decapterus russelli was recorded for the first time on the coast of Turkey, north-eastern Mediterranean. A sampling campaign was carried out from January 2008 to March 2010. A total of sixty-seven specimens was caught with trawl nets at a depth of 15–18 m. Decapterus russelli was found in Iskenderun Bay on 17 October 2009, Mersin Bay and Erdemli Bay on 17, 18 and 23 March 2010. Some morphometric and meristic characteristics of this species are presented here.
