Batiyal leptostrakan, Nebalia abyssicola (Crustacea, Phyllocarida)’nın Ege Denizi, doğu Akdeniz’den ilk kaydı

Dünyanın bir çok bölgesinde leptostrakanlar üzerine veriler hala yetersizdir. Son yıllarda doğu Akdeniz’de birkaç Nebalia Leach, 1814 türü rapor edilmiştir ancak 100 m den daha derin sulardan herhangi bir kayıt bulunmamaktadır. Doğu Akdenizde, Gökçeada’da 680 ve 820 m derinliklerden elde edilen çalışma örnekleri Nebalia abyssicola Fage, 1929’nın varlığını göstermiştir. Bu tür çalışma bölgesi için yeni kayıttır ve ender kayıtlarından biridir. Bireyler önceki tanımlamalara dayalı olarak tanımlanmış ve şekillleri çizilmiştir. Aynı zamanda doğu Akdeniz’de bilinen bütün leptostrakanlar için bir tayin anahtarı oluşturulmuştur.

First record of a bathyal leptostracan, Nebalia abyssicola Fage, 1929 (Crustacea: Malacostraca: Phyllocarida), in the Aegean Sea, eastern Mediterranean

Data on deep sea leptostracans (Crustacea: Phyllocarida: Leptostraca) are still scarce in many parts of the world. In the last few years, several species of Nebalia Leach, 1814, have been reported from the eastern Mediterranean; however, there have been no reports from waters deeper than 100 m. Samples collected recently from Gökçeada, Turkey-at depths of 680-820 m in the Aegean Sea, eastern Mediterranean-included Nebalia abyssicola Fage, 1929. This is the first record for the study area and one of the few known records of this species. Specimens are described and figured to complement previous descriptions. A key for all known leptostracans from the eastern Mediterranean is also provided.
