Abstract :The first morphologic and genetic documentation of the short-beaked garfish Belone svetovidovi Collette & Parin, 1970 from the coast of the Marmara Sea insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Yalova); and Black Sea insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Akcakoca); is reported in the present study. The morphological characters and genetic insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(mtDNA COI); analyses confirmed the existence of this species both in the Marmara and Black Seas. B. svetovidovi is genetically distinct from the anther species of this genus Belone belone. All morphologic measurements, counts, and colour descriptions of B. svetovidovi agree with its previous descriptions.
