The list of deep-sea decapod crustaceans and new records from Sığacık Bay (Aegean Sea, Türkiye)
Abstract
Decapod crustaceans were sampled monthly from May 2008 to April 2009 using a commercial trawl vessel at depths between 292 and 550 m from Sığacık Bay. 16 species were identified, of which 3 are Brachyura, 5 Caridea, 3 Dendrobranchiata, 1 Polychelida, 1 Astacidea, 3 Anomura. Of these, 4 species (Bathynectes maravigna, Munida intermedia, Pontophilus spinosus, and Processa canaliculata) are new records for Sığacık Bay. Furthermore, all of the previous studies were reviewed on the deep-sea decapod crustaceans of Sığacık Bay, depth range of each species is given.
