Abstract
Two male specimens of blue crab Callinectes sapidus were captured by commercial gillnet fishery on 25 September and 2 November 2013 at a depth of 14.5 and 18 m from Düzce and Zonguldak on the Black Sea coast of Turkey, respectively. This is first documentation of C. sapidus from the Turkish coastal waters of the Black Sea.
Keywords: Blue crab, Callinectes sapidus, Black Sea, Turkish coastal waters
