dc.description.abstractThe Indo-Pacific originated sand crab [Portunus pelagicus (Linneaus, 1758)] and Atlantic originated blue crab (Callinectes sapidus Rathbun, 1896) were observed in Iskenderun Bay between July 2002 and June 2003. The study was based on the comparison of length distribution and sex ratio of crabs. A total of 467 individuals (139 blue crabs and 328 sand crabs) were examined. The males of sand crab was determined to be dominant representing 58% of the population, and the average width of long carapace of females was found to be 119.9 +/- 2,8 mm, while the carapace width for males was 104,9 +/- 2,1 mm in average. The case seems to be contrast for blue crab female population, which was dominant with the proportion of 69% and average width of long carapace of them was found to be 148,9 +/- 2,5 mm. The average width of long carapace was 123,3 +/- 3,4 mm for males, which represented 31% of the total population.en_US
