Abstract

Samples of the isopod Natatolana neglecta (Hansen, 1890) are reported herein from Güllük Bay, south-eastern Aegean Sea. In the last decade, the abundance of this species has been increasing in the area, and this has led to attacks on fishes captured with gillnets, at night. The small-scale fishermen now are forced to restrict their catch to a short period daily, and are showing concerns regarding the continuation of their fishing practice. Here, we present the first report on the occurrence of N. neglecta in the Bay of Güllük, and provide information on the threat of this species for coastal fishermen in the south-eastern Aegean Sea.

Résumé

Des échantillons de l’isopode Natatolana neglecta (Hansen, 1890) en provenance de la baie de Gulluk, au sud-est de la Mer Egée sont signalés ici. Ces dix dernières années, l’abondance de cette espèce a augmenté dans cette zone, ce qui a conduit à des attaques sur les poissons capturés par les filets la nuit. Les pêcheurs, en petit nombre, sont maintenant obligés de restreindre leur prise sur une courte période en journée, et se posent des questions sur la continuité de leur activité de pêche. Nous présentons le premier rapport sur l’occurrence de N. neglecta dans la baie de Gulluk, et donnons des informations sur le risque posé par cette espèce pour les pêcheurs côtiers dans le sud est de la Mer Egée.
