Objective: Challenges in identifying species of the Gobiidae family and their high tolerance to salinity, which makes it difficult to determine their distribution boundaries, have prevented the achievement of a common checklist for these species in the Turkish waters of the Black Sea. In this study, we present a checklist of marine gobies, including the first record of the yellow-headed goby, Gobius xanthocephalus Heymer &amp;amp; Zander, 1992, in this region.Materials and Methods: On July 29, 2
