The present study reports the first record of Munida curvimana and second record of Planes minutus in Turkish waters. A male specimen of M. curvimana was collected by a commercial set net in Antalya Bay, Turkey in 2007. A male specimen of P. minutus was found on the loggerhead sea turtle that was captured by driftnet as a bycatch in Fethiye Bay in 2005. The morphometric characteristics and the updated distribution of squat lobster and Columbus crab in the Mediterranean Sea are presented. |
