Abstract

The distribution of decapod crustaceans on soft substrata was studied at two sites, Montalto di Castro and Gulf of Gaeta, in the central Mediterranean Sea (Tyrrhenian Sea). In the whole area, a total of 16 species of decapods (6 Natantia, Caridea; 4 Reptantia Macrura, Thalassinidea; 2 Anomura; and 4 Brachyura) were collected by a Van Veen grab. The decapod distribution seems to be influenced by granulometric composition rather than by depth. Some species demonstrated an affinity for a substratum that differs with respect to published literature records. © 2005 Brill Academic Publishers.
