  abstract = {{T}wo anchovy forms identified from their external morphology and designated as '{S}ilver' and '{B}lue' anchovies were captured in {M}ersin {B}ay ({E}astern {M}editerranean {S}ea). {S}ilver anchovy seemed to inhabit shallower waters (9-77 m) than {B}lue anchovy (majority at depths of 69-111 m). {S}ignificant differences in body shape, which was analyzed through geometric morphometrics, and in otolith shape, examined using {F}ourier analysis, separated the two forms. {L}ength polymorphisms at two intron and 9 microsatellite loci showed strong genetic differences between the two forms. {M}ersin-{B}ay {B}lue anchovy were genetically related to {E}ngraulis encrasicolus from the {W}estern {M}editerranean {S}ea. {M}ersin-{B}ay {S}ilver anchovy possessed an original genetic composition that distinguished them from both {E}. encrasicolus and {E}ngraulis albidus at the two intron loci, while presenting affinities to {E}. albidus based on microsatellite markers. {M}ersin-{B}ay {S}ilver anchovy were assigned to the latter species, of which they are considered as a geographically isolated population. {T}his is the first record of {E}. albidus in the {L}evantine basin and confirmation of its presence in the {E}astern {M}editerranean {S}ea. {T}hese results have implications for the management of anchovy populations and their habitats.},
