Abstract

Fethiye Körfezi’nde yapılan örnekleme çalışmaları, Ammothella cinsine ait bir piknogonid türü olan A. longioculata (Faraggiana, 1940)’ nın varlığını ortaya koymuştur. A. longioculata, Fethiye Körfezi’nden ve Türkiye’nin Akdeniz Kıyılarından ilk kez bu çalışmada rapor edilmektedir. Bundan dolayı, bu kayıt, türün bilinen dağılımını Ege Denizi’nden Türkiye’nin Akdeniz kıyılarına kadar genişletmektedir. Türün Akdeniz’deki dağılımı ve fotoğrafları çalışmada verilmiştir. Bu çalışma, bugüne kadar Türkiye’de Fethiye Körfezi piknogonidleri üzerine yapılmış tek çalışmadır.

Ammothella longioculata (Arthropoda, Pycnogonida): A Sea Spider New For the Mediterranean Coast of Turkey

Abstract

Sampling studies on the Turkish Mediterranean coast revealed the presence of a species of Pycnogonida belonging to the genus Ammothella. This species is identified as A. longioculata (Faraggiana, 1940). This is herein reported for the first time from the Fethiye Bay and Mediterranean coast of Turkey. Therefore, the record further extends the known distribution of A. longioculata from the Aegean Sea to the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. A distribution map of the species in the Mediterranean Sea is provided, together with photographs of the species. This study is the only scientific report to date of the pycnogonids of the Fethiye Bay in Turkey.
