Interstitial and Phytal Harpacticoid (Copepoda, Harpacticoida) Fauna of the Mediolittoral Zone of the Biga Peninsula (Çanakkale, Turkey)

Abstract

In this study, interstitial and phytal harpacticoid copepods distributed along the mediolittoral zone of the Biga Peninsula were investigated. The samplings were made from 26 different stations seasonally between April - 2016, February - 2017. As a result, 73 species and subspecies belonging to 46 genera within 17 families were identified. In addition, 4 genera (Troglophonte, Psammastacus, Stereoxiphos and Pteropsyllus) and 20 species/subspecies (Ameira divagans, Ameira reducta, Filexilia intermedia, Nitokra sewelli, Noodtiella enertha, Noodtiella intermedia, Noodtiella wellsi, Glabrotelson sp., Asellopsis intermedia, Echinolaophonte minuta, Heterolaophonte brevipes, Klieonychocamptus klei confluens, Troglophonte sp., Psammastacus confluens, Stereoxiphos operculatus, Schizopera minuta, Emertonia constricta orotavae, Thalestrella sp., Phyllopodopsyllus berrieri and Pteropsyllus plebeius furcatus) are new records for the Turkish fauna. Besides, all identified taxa are new records for the Biga Peninsula.
