Amphipoda (Crustacea: Malacostraca) fauna of the inland-waters of Gökçeada Island

Abstract

In order to determine the Amphipod species inhabited the inland waters of the Gökçeada Island, which is the biggest island of Turkey in the Aegean Sea, samples were sampled from 17 localities in different dates, were carried out. Samples were collected with 500 µm mesh-sized hand nets and were fixed in 4% formalin solution in field. As a result, three species [Gammarus komareki Schäferna 1922, Gammarus aequicauda (Martynov, 1931) and Orchestia mediterranea Costa, 1853] belonging to Gammaridae and Talitridae families were determined. All of the three species are newly recorded from Gökçeada Island.
