Abstract

The bathymetric distribution of decapod crustaceans on the continental shelf is analysed, based on data obtained during benthic sampling surveys carried out along the Turkish coasts of the Aegean Sea in July, August, and September 2000. A total of 97 species of Decapoda has been identified from a total of 113 hauls that have been studied.
