A new record of Lagocephalus sceleratus (Gmelin 1789) confirming a further range extension into the northern Aegean Sea
Abstract
The silverstripe blaasop, Lagocephalus sceleratus (Gmelin
1789), belongs to the family Tetraodontidae; with the native
range in the Indo-West Pacific Ocean (Smith and Heemstra,
1986) it inhabits tropical waters at depths ranging from 18 to
100 m, preferably on reefs (May and Maxwell, 1986)
