Özet
Background. In Turkey, the Mediterranean scaldfish, Arnoglossus laterna (Walbaum, 1792), is a discard fish species and it has a 'least concern' status on the IUCN Red List which indicates a low extinction risk. Although there are some studies investigating biology of this species, the knowledge of the mortality rates, spawning period, first maturity size, and age are not available for the study area. This paper, for the first time, provides some data on unknown population parameters for the east-central Aegean Sea. The aim of the presently reported study was to expand our knowledge on the biology of A. laterna.
