This study was carried out by trammel nets in the waters of North Cyprus, 0-50 m, between January - November 2016. The size frequency distribution and length/weight relationships of Sargocentron rubrum were determined. A total of 148 individuals of lessepsian fish species were sampled during the study. Length and weight of the samples varied between 11.1 - 20.1 (15.1 ± 2.6) cm total length and 23.73 - 153.33 (66.19 ± 33.66) g respectively. The relation between total length (L) and weight (W) was determined as W = 0,0138L3,0915 R² = 0,9773. It was determined that Sargocentron rubrum showed positive allometric growth.
