Thinlip grey mullet Liza ramada (Mugilidae) caught in a small Norwegian stream

• Two individuals of thinlip grey mulletLiza ramada were collected in a southern Norwegian brook(58° 22’ N, 8° 37’ E) on 12th September 2007. The fish were 8.7 and 9.0 cm in total length, 6 and 7g in total mass, and most probably in their first year of life. The nearest known spawning area of thespecies is south of the English Channel, meaning that they had probably moved at least 900 km acrossthe North Sea during their first growth season. To our knowledge, this is the first published observationof the catadromous thinlip grey mullet from a Scandinavian freshwater course.
