Abstract

This study contributes the information of geographical distribution of invasive fish, the Pumpkinseed, Lepomis gibbosus (Linnaeus, 1758). It has been reported in the Marmara region of Turkey, but there are no records from Balıkesir. Fish samples were obtained from 2 irrigation ponds in the areas of Yağcılar District and Kamçillı District in Balıkesir City. Lepomis gibbosus (Linnaeus, 1758) is reported for the first time from Balıkesir City as a new locality. Geographical distribution and records of the Pumpkinseed is given with map and checklist. Knowing the current distributions of invasive fish is important in understanding their impact on the environment and biodiversity.

Keywords
