Abstract
Salmo ekmekciae, new species, is described from the Köprüçay River, a drainage of Mediterranean Sea. It is distinguished from Salmo species in adjacent water by having 9-10 parr marks on flank; 11-13 scale rows between end of base of adipose-fin and lateral line; 22-24 gill rakers on first gill arch; a shorter distance between adipose-fin and caudal-fin base; a slenderer caudal peduncle; and a slenderer body at adipose-fin origin. According to the Bayesian, and maximum likelihood analyses, Salmo ekmekciae cvt b gene resulted in coherent trees supported bv high bootstrap values.
