Decapods collected with epibenthic sledge from Rhodes Isl., north-eastern Aegean Sea, Greece

Latest version published by Hellenic Center for Marine Research on Jun 6, 2022 Hellenic Center for Marine Research

The material listed here came from three sites of the Rhodian coastline, chosen according to their proximity to the Hydrobiological Station of Rhodes. It was obtained within June 2018 from the coastal shallow waters of the island, over a mixed substrate of patches of Posidonia oceanica and sand with an epibenthic sledge bearing a bag made of plankton net with 1 mm mesh size, towed from a fishing vessel of 8.25 m length and a 38 Kw engine. Most samplings took place during the early night hours.

Project Data

No Description available

Title Hydrobiological Station of Rhodes
Funding Funding was provided by the Hydrobiological Station of Rhodes/National Centre for Marine Research (HSR/HCMR). Many thanks to Mr Mihalis Limperis, captain of the fishing vessel “Captain Manolis” and the Port Authority of Rhodes.

The personnel involved in the project:

Principal Investigator
Gerasimos Kondylatos

Sampling Methods

Professional fishing vessel of 8.25 m length and 38 Kw engine, epibenthic sledge designed and constructed at the facilities of HSR/HCMR

Study Extent Three stations were selected, with depths from 2.5m to 19.6m. These stations were chosen according to their proximity to the Hydrobiological Station of Rhodes.

Method step description:

  1. Taking into account that epibenthic sledging is not an accurate method for biomass count we did not try to evaluate it. Our aim was to investigate uncharted decapod diversity in the area.
