This article reports pelagic fish species recorded during the survey of cetaceans in the Finike Seamounts region and the adjacent waters in 2021. The Mediterranean flyingfish Cheilopogon heterurus (Rafinesque, 1810) and Atlantic bluefin tuna Thunnus thynnus (Linnaeus, 1758) were observed and recorded during their flight/leap movements on the water surface. The scientific sharing of these data is important in terms of emphasizing the richness of the pelagic life of the Finike Seamounts region and underlines the importance of declaring the region as a Special Environmental Protection Area (SEPA).
