Sažetak
The oarfish or the king-of-the-herrings Regalecus glesne Ascanius, 1772, occurs in most circumtropical oceans, very rare in the Mediterranean. On May 8 2009, one specimen of the oarfish was caught with a simple hook in a Stobreč Bay (near Split, Croatia) at the depth of 1.3 m. The total length before preservation was 194 cm (weight, W = 813, 2 g). This record represent the first record for the eastern Adriatic Sea. All other previous records (2) in the Adriatic Sea are questionable and object of scientific disscusion. This record and the records of other rare and relatively rare species in the Adriatic Sea in the last decade are discussed in relation to the water masses circulation and the species biological characteristics.
