Özet

This paper presents the first observation of a recent Lessepsian fish species, the burrowing goby, Trypauchen vagina (Bloch and Schneider, 1801) in the North-Eastern Mediterranean Sea, where two specimens of burrowing goby were caught by a shrimp trammel net in Iskenderun Bay. This record indicates the range extension of a possibly established population of burrowing goby in the Eastern Levant Basin.
