Özet

Two specimens of marbled stingray, Dasyatis marmorata (Steindachner, 1892), were captured for the first time on 24-25 October 2013 in the Iskenderun Bay, located in the north-eastern Mediterranean coast of Turkey. This is the first record of D. marmorata in Turkish coastal waters and the seventh dasyatid species reported to date from the area.
