Abstract

Abstract: A single small specimen (37.38 mm total length) of a terapontid fish was caught in the Zeeschelde, near the village of Branst. The fish was captured in a mid-water beam trawl from an anchored boat in September 2018. This is the first record of Terapon jarbua (Forsskål, 1775) in Belgium.
