Abstract
In monthly surveys carried out between September 2009 and July 2011 in Antalya Bay, five species of fish were found which have hitherto been unknown from the Antalya Bay: Notacanthus bonaparte, Diaphus metopoclampus, Gadella maraldi, Benthocometes robustus and Evermannella balbo. For the latter species it is the first record for the Turkish Seas.
