Özet

The bathymetric distribution and catch composition of cephalopods in the Aegean Sea were investigated. For this purpose a total of 292 bottom trawls were carried out seasonally during 1991 and 1992. Sampling depths ranged between 20 and 500 m. A total of 30 species were recorded, with Sepiola intermedia and Histioteuthis bonnellii being found in the Aegean Sea for the first time. It was estimated that the proportion of cephalopods in the total catch taken by commercial fisheries was 11.16 % in the northern Aegean Sea and 8.46 % in the southern Aegean Sea.
