Abstract
In the present study, mollusc species distributed in the Kemer Bay (Sea of Marmara) were determined seasonally (November, February, May, and August) in the years 2010 and 2011. The benthic samples were collected from different biotopes in 16 stations at depth ranging between 0.2 and 5 m by using a quadrate sampling gear. As a result of the evaluation of collected benthic materials, a total of 66 mollusc species belonging to 3 classes (Polyplacophora, Gastropoda, and Bivalvia) were identified. When the number of species and individuals are compared based on the seasons, maximum number of species (46 species) and individuals (168825 ind. m-2) were counted in autumn and spring, respectively. Mytilus galloprovincialis (Lamarck, 1819) and Mytilaster lineatus (Gmelin, 1791) were the most abundant species in all the seasons. Whereas, Bittium reticulatum (da Costa, 1778), Rissoa membranacea (Montagu, 1803), and Tricolia pullus pullus (Linnaeus, 1758) were characterized as species having the highest frequency index values in all seasons.

Abstract
Bu çalışmada Marmara Denizi, Kemer Koyu’nda dağılım gösteren mollusk türleri 2010 ve 2011 yıllarında mevsimsel olarak (Kasım, Şubat, Mayıs ve Ağustos) belirlenmiştir. Bentik numuneler kuadrat örnekleme aleti kullanılarak 16 istasyondan 0,2 ve 5 m derinlikler arasında farklı biyotoplardan örneklenmiştir. Alınan bentik materyalin değerlendirilmesi sonucunda 3 sınıfa ait (Polyplacophora, Gastropoda ve Bivalvia) toplam 66 mollusk türü tanımlanmıştır. Mevsimlere göre tür ve birey sayıları karşılaştırıldığında, maksimum tür sayısı (46 tür) ve birey sayısı (168825 birey m-2) sırasıyla sonbahar ve ilkbahar mevsimlerinde sayılmıştır. Mytilus galloprovincialis (Lamarck, 1819) ve Mytilaster lineatus (Gmelin, 1791) tüm mevsimlerde en baskın türlerdir. Buna karşın, Bittium reticulatum (da Costa, 1778), Rissoa membranacea (Montagu, 1803) ve Tricolia pullus pullus (Linnaeus, 1758) tüm mevsimlerde en yüksek frekans indeks değeri ile karakterize edilen türler olmuştur.
