Occurrence and Distribution of Crustacean Decapoda in Boka Kotorska Bay

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Boka Kotorska Bay Environment

Part of the book series: The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry ((HEC,volume 54))

Abstract

An annotated species of crustacean Decapoda list is provided for the area of Boka Kotorska Bay, based on the available literature. Review of the relevant literature showed that the number of the species known in this area is 62. Two of these species are recognized as Atlanto-tropical immigrants. All species were collected using trawl, dredge, grab bottom sampler, gillnets, as well as scuba-diving techniques. Description of each species gives the valid scientific name and vernacular, common names, literature, distribution and findings in Boka Kotorska Bay, Adriatic distribution, and some remarks as well as their potential commercial interest for fishery. Most of these species have a wide distribution range, including the whole Mediterranean Sea.
