Family Pomatomidae
* There are five Turkish names for this fish, bestowed according to size, thus: – tiny: defne yaprak (bay leaf); small: çinakop; larger: sarı kanat (yellow wing); at its prime: lüfer; very large: kofana. This precise nomenclature reflects the fact that the fish is well known in Turkey. It is sometimes taken in great quantities near Istanbul in January, but the regular season for it is the period of the southward migration, i.e. October to December, when it is fished with line and lamp.
