description Fan mussel, Pinna nobilis (Linnaeus, 1758), species has been critically endangered in the Mediterranean Sea because of Haplosporidium pinnae. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the current status of the fan mussel populations at three stations (Patriça Beach, Bıyıklı Beach and Çataltepe Beach) in Cunda Island, Ayvalık, Aegean Sea. Underwater observations were carried out in July 2020. Mass mortality (100%) was observed at all stations during the study. The length of the fan mussel was ranged between 39.8 cm and 79.8 cm and no individuals were small-sized.
