Description

One specimen of Pleurobranchaea meckeli was collected from the Çanakkale Strait in 2014 and two were collected from two different stations in the Sea of Marmara in August 2015. The first specimen was collected at 35 meters depth in Çanakkale Strait, Turkey. The second and third specimens were collected at 61 and 1000 meters depths respectively in the Sea of Marmara. This is the first record of Pleurobranchaea meckeli from Çanakkale Strait and the second record from Sea of Marmara, which provides a new depth range for the species as well as a new record for the area.
