Fethiye Körfezi’nden (Türkiye’nin Akdeniz kıyıları) Diogenidae, Paguridae, Galatheidae ve Porcellanidae familyalarına dahil toplam 22 anomur türü tespit edilmiştir. Çalışma boyunca saptanan 22 türden 14’ü (Pagurus prideaux Leach, 1815, P. forbesii Bell, 1845, P. cheuvreuxi (Bouvier, 1896), P. cuanensis Bell, 1845, P. excavatus (Herbst, 1791), Anapagurus petiti Dechance and Forest, 1962, A. chiroacathus (Lilljeborg, 1856), A. bicorniger A.

A. chiroacanthus ayrıca Levantin Denizi’nden ilk kayıttır. Türlerin Türk sularındaki dağılımları ve bazılarının fotoğrafları verilmiştir.A study of the anomuran crustaceans found in Fethiye Bay, on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, revealed 22 species belonging to 4 families (Diogenidae, Paguridae, Galathaeidae, and Porcellanidae). of these, 14 species (Pagurus prideaux Leach, 1815, P. forbesii Bell, 1845, P. cheuvreuxi (Bouvier, 1896), P. cuanensis Bell, 1845, P. excavatus (Herbst, 1791), Anapagurus petiti Dechance and Forest, 1962, A. chiroacathus (Lilljeborg, 1856), A. bicorniger A.
