Abstract:

 


Percnon gibbesi is an invasive crab reported for the first time from Linosa Island and the Balearic Islands. This grapsid crab is the most invasive decapod species to enter the Mediterranean Sea. It was first recorded in 1999 and has since spread from Spain to Turkey. In this paper, we report the first record in Oran coasts, where it probably established in « la Madrague beach » in winter of 2017 after its establishment in eastern and central Algerian waters since 2008.

Percnon gibbesi, ilk kez Linoz Adası ve Balear Adaları’nda görülmüş olan istilacı bir yengeçtir. Bu grapsid yengeç, Akdeniz'de yayılım gösteren en istilacı Decaphoda türüdür. İlk kez 1999 yılında kaydı verilen bu tür o zamandan günümüze kadar İspanya’dan Türkiye’ye kadar yayılış göstermiştir. 2008 yılında Doğu ve Orta Cezayir sularında (muhtemelen 2017 kışında) görülen bu türün, Oran « la Madrague Beach » kıyılarındaki ilk kaydı bu makalede rapor edilmiştir.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          .
