This paper deals with the sipunculan species distributed in Izmir Bay (Aegean Sea, eastern Mediterranean). Benthic samples were taken at 29 stations between 1998 and 2001 at depths ranging from 8 to 77 m. Six species and 200 individuals belonging to three families were found. Aspidosiphon (A.) mexicanus is newly recorded from Izmir Bay. The majority of specimens were found on a sandy-mud substratum (42%), followed by sand (35%), muddy-sand (19%) and sand (3%), respectively. Among the habitats, Posidonia oceanica and muddy-sand were represented by the highest numbers of species (4 species), followed by sandy-mud (3 species), and sand (2 species). The densities of the species at sampling stations were determined and compared seasonally, based on the data collected in 2001. Brief descriptions of the species and their distributional, reproductive and ecological characteristics are given.

Abstract This paper deals with six crustacean species associated with Posidonia oceanica (Linnaeus) Delile, 1813 meadows along the Aegean coasts of Turkey: Caprella tavolarensis, Eriopisella ruffoi, Iphimedia vicina, Astacilla mediterranea, Apseudopsis minimus and Macropodia deflexa. Apseudopsis minimus is a new record for the Turkish coast of the Aegean Sea, the other five species are new records for the eastern Mediterranean. Brief descriptions of the species and their morphological and ecological characteristics are given.

A total of ten specimens of Pseudonereis anomala (Polychaeta: Nereididae) were collected on the shallow water hard substratum (0·2 m) at four stations located in the inner part of Izmir Bay (Aegean Sea, eastern Mediterranean) in January 2004. The absence of this species among the material collected previously at the same stations might suggest that it has recently become established in the area. A re-description of the species together with its ecological, reproductive, feeding and distributional aspects are provided.

The present study reports on the occurrence of two specimens of the alien species Polydora cornutaBosc, 1802, in Elefsis Bay, the Saronikos Gulf (Aegean Sea, eastern Mediterranean). This is the firstrecord of this invasive alien species on the coast of Greece and the second report in the eastern MediterraneanSea after its first finding in Izmir Bay (on the Turkish Aegean coast). This finding enhances its distributionalpattern within the Mediterranean

Four sponge species (Sycon raphanus, Sycon ciliatum, Paraleucilla magna and Dysidea fragilis) were found on artificial hard substrata of several ports in the inner and middle parts of Izmir Bay. The invasive alien species Paraleucilla magna, is being recorded for the first time from the Aegean coast of Turkey. It was very abundant almost at all studied ports, covering up to 35% of the sampled surfaces. The morphological and distributional features of the four species are described.

The soft-bottom crustacean fauna from Izmir Bay was studied semi-annually between September 2014 and April 2016. Benthic samples were collected by means of a Van Veen grab, sampling ca. 0.1 m2 area, at 4 stations in the inner (3 stations) and middle (a single station) parts of the bay. Forty-one species and 999 individuals belonging to seven crustacean orders (Sessilia, Mysida, Amphipoda, Cumacea, Tanaidacea, Isopoda, Decapoda) were identified. Amphipoda were represented with the highest number of species (21 species) followed by Isopoda (7) and Decapoda (6). Among the species encountered, Phtisica marina was the most dominant species with an average 90.6 individuals (27.22% of the total number of individuals) while Iphinoe douniae was the most frequent species (occurring in 50% of the samples). Eurycarcinus integrifrons De Man, 1879 is an alien decapod herein reported for the first time from the Aegean Sea.
