The deep-see
decapod crustacean species sampled from trawling operations carried out in the
open waters of Mersin Bay (Coordinates: 36.24853N-34.36491E,
36.18839N-43.38847E, 36.17065N-34.40686E, and 36.07227N-34.53326E) in May 2018 were
identified. Samples were preserved in ethyl alcohol and were deposited in the
Museum of the Systematic, Faculty of Fisheries, Mersin University, (catalogue
number: MEUDC-17-11-001, MEUDC-18-12-010-014). In total 13 trawling operations,
6 deep-sea decapod crustacean species were caught. Plesionika edwardsii belonging to family of Pandalidae, Polycheles typhlops belonging to
Polychelidae family, Geryon longipes
from Geryonidae family, Medorippe lanata
from Dorippidae family, Pasiphaea sivado
from Pasiphaeidae family and Parapenaeus longirostris
from Penaeidae family were caught from a depth of 274 m to 641 m. P. typhlops have a wide distribution in
the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Ocean waters, while other species are of the Atlanto-Mediterranean
origin. While P. longirostris and P. edwardsii are the target species for
deep-sea trawl operations in Mersin Bay, P.
typhlops, P. sivado and
brachyuran crabs are by-catch species.
