Thirty-nine fish of the Lithognathus mormyrus species were caught on October 26, 2017 in Fatsa, Ordu with trammel nets set for the sampling of invasive demersal fish in the Black Sea. It was determined that one of the fish that was caught was 30 cm long, 336.39 g, and 7 years old. These measurements make L. mormyrus the largest fish to have been collected in the Black Sea.
