Abstract
On 25 September 2012, seven individuals of Champsodon vorax Günther, 1867 and five individuals of Champsodon capensis Regan, 1908 were captured during a bottom trawl activity, from a depth of 30–100 m in the Gulf of Antalya, Turkey. Both species are Lessepsian migrants, previously reported in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. C. vorax is being reported for the first time from Turkey, whereas C. capensis is recorded for the first time in the Gulf of Antalya.
