During this study 10 crustaceans groups were identified (Table 1). Among the identified crustaceans, Balanus
amphitrite (1906/m2) was highly abundant species throughout the year. The second highest crustacean was amphipods
(593/m2). However, the abundance of the crab Macropthalmus depresseswas (192/m2). Metapenaeus monoceros was
found to be the and isopods both showed very low occurrence (Table 1). The two hermit crabs were identified as
Diogenes sp. (134/m2) and Pagurus sp. (10/m2), respectively. Other organisms included Uca (Leptuca) annulipes),
Scylla serrata and Tanaidaceans (Fig. 1).
