One of the endemic freshwater fish species of Turkey, Gobio sakaryaensis Turan, Ekmekci, Luskova & Mendel, 2012 is reported for the first time from the Lake Sapanca Basin. A total of 18 G. sakaryaensis specimens was captured using electroshocker on October 18, 2008 and February 5, 2009 from the Masukiye Stream (western Lake Sapanca). This finding has increased the number of the fish species living in the basin. The value of parameter b in the LWR equation was calculated 3.176.
