Abstract
    The spatial dispersion of crustaceans as part of the sciaphilic algae community in the northern part of the Aegean Sea was studied. The examination of the collected 1,611 specimens revealed the presence of 60 species. Multivariate analyses showed high similarity between sites, however, four distinct assemblages were recorded in accordance with depth, the habitat complexity defined by the occurrence of different algal foms, the degree of hard substrates' inclination and the water clarity.

Dataset
  • Macro- and megafauna from the North Aegean Sea from 1997-1998
