Keywords:
Dentex maroccanus, Gobius couchi, Sea of Marmara, New record.Abstract
Dentex maroccanus Valenciennes, 1830 and Gobius couchi Miller & El-Tawil, 1974 were captured from the
Marmara Archipelago in May 2022. Both species are new additions to the Sea of Marmara fish fauna. According
to the available data, we assume D. maroccanus to be recently introduced to the region, while G. couchi may have
been overlooked in previous studies due to its cryptogenic lifestyle.
