| Abstract: | The distribution of whales in the Mediterranean is primarily known through stranding records. The present study maps the stranding records of whales in Turkish marine waters to highlight the number of whale species that strand and to determine the general distribution pattern of such strandings in Turkey. This is an important step in generating conservation measures. The primary data were obtained from the published literature, grey literature, and fieldwork. A total of 29 stranding records of whale species were found between 1964 and 2023, which were varied along coasts and mainly located in Iskenderun Bay in the Mediterranean and Muğla Bay in the Aegean coasts of Turkey. A total of five species and one genus were documented: the Cuvier’s beaked whale Ziphius cavirostris, the fin whale Balaenoptera physalus, the sperm whale Physeter macrocephalus, the minke whale Balaenoptera acutorostrata, and True’s beaked whale Mesoplodon mirus and Mesoplodon sp. |
