Abstract : Gobio microlepidotus, which has been known to be restricted to the Lake Beyşehir basin, was found to be distributed in the Mediterranean basin in this study. Gobio microlepidotus from the Göksu to Limon rivers, tributaries of The Mediterranean Sea, have distinguished features such as a scale-covered breast, scales extending slightly behind to isthmus; 43-46 lateral line scales; 7-9 scale rows between the dorsal-fin origin and lateral line; 6-7 scale rows between the anal-fin origin and lateral line; 5-7 scales between the anus and anal-fin origin; 9-11 scales between the posterior extremity of pelvic-fin bases and the anus.Keywords : Gudgeon, New record
