Özet
The current status of fishes found in Lake Bafa in the Aegean region of Turkey is described. The conspicuous augmentation of salinity in the last decade has resulted in the extinction of stenohaline freshwater species (Acanthobrama mirabilis, Chondrostoma nasus, Barbus pectoralis, Proterorhinus marmoratus and Silurus glanis) and has promoted the establishment of euryhaline fishes. Two species of marine origin, Gobius niger and Syngnathus abaster, are new additions to the ichthyofauna of Lake Bafa.
