Abstract

The aim of this study was to acquire an impression of the crustacean diversity on the coralligenous beds of Markiz Island. For this purpose, four samplings were made with a dredge at two stations, during 2002 and 2003. Analysis of the material sampled yielded a total of 1458 individuals belonging to 122 species and seven groups of Crustacea (Leptostraca, 1; Mysidacea, 4; Amphipoda, 51; Isopoda, 9; Tanaidacea, 2; Cumacea, 10; Decapoda, 45). Le but de cette etude est d'acquerir une idee de la diversite des crustaces sur les bancs de coralligene de l'ile Markiz. A cet effet, quatre echantillonnages ont ete realises a l'aide d'une drague sur deux stations, en 2002 et 2003. L'analyse du materiel echantillonne a revele un total de 1458 individus appartenant a 122 especes et sept groupes de Crustacea (Leptostraca, 1 ; Mysidacea, 4 ; Amphipoda, 51 ; Isopoda, 9 ; Tanaidacea, 2 ; Cumacea, 10 ; Decapoda, 45).
