Abstract
The Marmara Sea represents a unique ecosystem between the Black and Mediterranean Seas due to its hydrographical peculiarities. This sea is one of the busiest water ways in the world. There are 11 exotic species found in the Marmara Sea. These are Codium fragile, Mnemiopsis leidyi, Beroë cucumis, Rapana venosa, Scapharca inaequivalvis, Mya arenaria, Teredo navalis, Penaeus japonicus, Callinectes sapidus, Mugil so-iuy and Gambusia affinis. Among them, R. venosa has been commercially important and M. leidyi is the most destructive species for the native species.
