During the cruise of 1955, samples were collected from 152 sampling stations, located mainly in the South Aegean Sea. The information concerning decapods are included, among others, in the publications by Peres & Picard (1958) and Jacquotte (1962). These authors obviously examined a part of the decapod material and reported the presence of 36 species (7 Natantia, 5 Macrura Reptantia, 8 Anomura and 16 Brachyura). During the cruise of 1960, samples were taken from 122 sampling stations in the N. Aegean Sea. Only few information exists on the collected decapods, given by Jacquotte (1962), who records the presence of 8 species (2 Anomura and 6 Brachyura).<I><P> Bios</I> Vol 1, No 1.
