Decapod Crustaceans in the Marmara Island (Marmara Sea) and Ecological Characteristics of Their Habitats

Abstract

We
have performed series of analyses to identify decapod crustaceans inhabiting
the littoral zone of the Marmara Island and to study specific ecological
characteristics of the habitat. Samples of decapod crustaceans species were
collected from 12 stations (6 onshore, 6 offshore) on May 12-17, 2008 and
November 17-22, 2008. A total of 17 species and 1199 specimens of decapod
crustaceans were recorded. Eigth species (A. lacazei, N. norvegicus, P.
bluteli, P. longimana, P. platycheles, D. pugilator, D. personata and L.
vernalis) have been reported in the littoral zone of Marmara Island for the
first time in this study. Also our study also sheds light on some ecological
properties (temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen) of the habitats of the
species from the littoral zone of the Marmara Island.
